I launched a big 2.0 update to my album-focused music player Longplay just yesterday. I wrote an announcement post and there's also a detailed overview on MacStories. Feedback and questions are very welcome!

The title of the article doesn't really match the content, which doesn't suggest to fully nuke Siri but rather to abandon the current underlying technology for something that's using generative AI (like ChatGPT). That's a reasonable suggestion and most likely Apple is already working on this.

Maybe this says more about women than Elon Musk? Given a choice many women might not want to work for him...

Aye aye. I'm mildly excited.

This looks great. Is there any chance that this could be extended to include Kbin as well, since those instances federated with Lemmy, too?

It is. They've temporarily disabled invite codes.

I'm in the same boat. Would be good to have the ability to have a single identity that works across the fediverse. As a first step if you have your own domain anyway, it'd be cool to alias that to different underlying Mastodon/Kbin/Pixelfed/etc. accounts. It's possible to some small extend using the "Webfinger" protocol: https://philna.sh/blog/2022/11/23/alias-your-mastodon-username-to-your-own-domain-with-jekyll/

The (k)bin bird should be a bin chicken though: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w4dYWhkSbTU

At least they don't donate their time and effort to Reddit anymore.

Honestly don't know, but is spez also following Twitter in letting go of many employees? A lot of the backlash to Twitter came from that. He's been saying that they aren't profitable and their cost per API call for third party apps implies that they are running a pretty inefficient ship...

Give it a few weeks. It was the same on Mastodon during heights of the #TwitterMigration. Everyone was talking about how they left the ship, what's different about the new place, and keep talking about the sinking ship.

After a while the new place felt familiar and that talk got less, and those meta-conversations were replaced with conversations about other things. If we get to that on Kbin eventually, that'd be great.
