I'll second HTTP Shortcuts. Excellent (and Open Source) app.

For many (hi /u/spez) it's more like "We'll burn that bridge when we get there".

Looks (and sounds) amazing!

We'll be telling our grandchildren that we remember the time /u/spez did an AMA...

I used to worry about us over here in the UK being judged badly over Brexit, but you guys have, er, trumped us. This is fun to watch from 5000 miles away, but I'd hate to be there.

What's the betting he'll back down in some way (which was the plan all along)? That way they'll get what they originally wanted but will look as if they've "listened".

I'm not sure I believe that will happen though, tbh.

I agree with this. I'd like to see a Linux (and similar) community, but I have no interest in Windows so I'll probably avoid a generic OS community.

Heardle. Like Wordle but for music.

Ha, we hope so too! On target so far...

The blackouts will make no difference to Reddit's plans. The API charge will come in. The content creators and moderators will leave. The content will go stale. The smart shareholders will cash in early; the dumb ones will hang on for the prospect of a greater return which won't materialise. Once the content is stale, the readers and lurkers will leave. Reddit will become a has-been, a memorable item of internet history like so many other sites.

We went a bit mad.

Moved into a bungalow in 2007. Lovely location; ugly, cold, poorly-extended, horrible house. Last December, after years of talking about it, we knocked it down. Right now the replacement house is being built, estimated to be finished at the end of August.

Looking forward to moving back in!

A music playout system. I put on an internet radio-like show each week and I needed a way to play music. The only solutions I could find were for Windows but my desktops are all Linux so I wrote my own.

It differs a bit from the more usual "music player". I need to know how long until the track ends and how long until it starts to fade out. I also want to add lots of comments so that I can talk about the tracks I'm playing.

Over time I've added other features - tabbed playlists, automatic lookup of titles on Wikipedia, estimated start/end times for tracks I've yet to play, ability to edit mp3 tags and - well, quite a lot more. It's just grown over time as I've needed things.

I call it MusicMuster, but I haven't actually open sourced it yet. I mean to, but imposter syndrome keeps popping up. I'll just make the code a bit better, remove that hack, etc. Maybe you know how it is.
