@user1306322 Увидимся

user1306322

I'll give last.fm another try later, but last time it didn't have about a third of my favorite tracks from Ultimae Records label

Jebediah Kerman

where can I find my start up scripts, I had one for lock-screen on login, would like to get rid of it

Jimmy Hoffa

@user1306322 It had a list of others it integrates with, you might try some of them like rd.io is I think one and there's lots of others these days... Haven't really used any of them, I just use pandora so haven't bothered looking at others

Spotify is something lots of people rave about for music though I don't even know exactly what it is or does

user1306322

maybe I could use a proxy or something to access Pandora, I don't even know how it works and if it's good for the kind of music I like

Jimmy Hoffa

@user1306322 I wouldn't bother, there's got to be availability in Russia for some of the other newer ones which a lot of people seem to have migrated to

user1306322

23:12

@JebediahKerman does loading in safe mode prevent the scripts from running?

Jebediah Kerman

idk

user1306322

@JimmyHoffa my friends use last.fm but not one of them listens to electronic or ambient

Jebediah Kerman

brb

Jimmy Hoffa

@user1306322 When I want that kind of music I find the channels on soma.fm to be always quite good

user1306322

I'm really not sure if any music recommendation site can do me good since it's not their priority to work well with not so popular music, and besides most people will just listen to whatever "everyone" is listening to

Jimmy Hoffa

23:14

It's not a recommendation service or anything though, just some DJ'd online channels that have been around a long time

user1306322

I've been having a good time with DI.fm until I basically remembered all its tracks in the rotation

Bob

@user1306322 IIRC last.fm is for recommendations (don't think it lets you stream), pandora is internet radio that customises based on what you like, and spotify lets you select specific tracks (with recommendations available, of course)

Jimmy Hoffa

@Bob Last.fm let's you stream, I just started poking at it the other day myself

user1306322

by "streaming" do you mean internet radio streaming?

Jimmy Hoffa

@user1306322 Yes

user1306322

23:17

I wonder if that's even possible with less popular tracks

Jebediah Kerman

fixed it

user1306322

@JebediahKerman how?

ah Spotify is currently not available in your country.
Be the first to know when we launch.

at least soma and DI still work

I would like to find recommendations by rating specific tracks, not the whole albums, but that doesn't look possible on last.fm

Does itunes radio work in russia?

user1306322

this is as fear as I could get: We are unable to find iTunes on your computer. To download from the iTunes Store, get iTunes now.

maybe when I install it, it'll say it doesn't work

I'll give it a try from within a vm

@JebediahKerman Jebby man, u with us? How did you fix your problem?

allquixotic

sounds like you need to not live in Russia if you want to consume western music... :/

user1306322

23:26

sounds like most of my favorite music isn't even western :ъ

it's european

like Swedish and such

allquixotic

and there are no services available in your country that offer it?

user1306322

well there are, but I'd like recommendations that actually work

so far allmusic.com completely disregards my ratings and just offers what's hot

allquixotic

so the problem is that the existing services aren't good at personalized recommendations

user1306322

maybe so, maybe I just didn't find the right ones yet

allquixotic

or the ones that are say the following to Russia:

!!tell 12161785 no

user1306322

something just happened in this chat

allquixotic

eh?

my bot :P

user1306322

oh, I thought graphic anti-profanity measures

allquixotic

23:29

uh, what? it's a picture of a cat saying "No."

that would be bloody funny if the bot automatically replied to profanity with that picture though

user1306322

I was under the impression that some gawdawful word was cut from your reply and a bot replied with an appropriate reaction pic

allquixotic

lol

ChatBot John Cavil

allquixotic

!!tell 12161830 maybe

I operate the bot and taught it some of what it knows ;p

it's been the source of controversy recently actually

it would've greeted you with an automated message when you first joined the chat for the first time, if we were allowed to have that feature

how would you feel about such a message auto greeting you when you joined?

AGirlSaidMySmileIsCute

lol

user1306322

I'd feel like I was in a public chat with its distinct atmosphere of everybody in it being drunk to some degree and completely incompetent in every area imaginable, so I would promptly leave

my experience with wan chats wasn't so great in the last nine years

allquixotic

@user1306322 um.... this is a public chat. but we tend not to be drunk. I don't know how you get that from a simple greeting bot.

user1306322

I think if a site has a chat, it can have features built into it not requiring the roundabout method of posting chat replies, but like buttons and control panels with checkboxes instead

chatbots using replies for command input was a way out during the days of old

itunes finished ravaging my virtual machine, and as soon as I clicked the "radio" button, it dissapeared

now what

@DarthAndroid how do I access itunes radio from Windows desktop app?

Darth Android

@user1306322 You should just open itunes, and then click on radio I think

let me install it on this machine and verify

user1306322

well that plan is junk because my radio button just disappeared after the first click

but I'll revert my vm's state to default and try it again to verify

also I'll go make some tea

Canadian Luke

@allquixotic What did you just do?

allquixotic

@CanadianLuke I have no idea; I just hit random keys

Canadian Luke

.... OK

Darth Android

23:49

@user1306322 iTunes Radio is only available in the US, it seems

Jimmy Hoffa

@CanadianLuke There's a variety of poorly handled unicode characters you can throw around in SE

You'll occasionally find them in comments around different parts of SE where someone does something odd and it leaves garbage on comments nearby

user1306322

@DarthAndroid yeah, the button just destroys itself :\

@allquixotic y u no censor my userpic

Jimmy Hoffa

Oops

allquixotic

@user1306322 oops :S

user1306322

well oops me painted!

I mean...

seems like major sites and services don't work for me, so I'll just listen to everything and anything and hear for myself if it's any good

just like I do with most movies with above 6 points on imdb

there are so many games out there and there isn't a decent recommendation service

movies are mostly covered by imdb

but music...

allquixotic

23:57

for games I watch TotalBiscuit's Youtube channel

user1306322

I wonder if there's a demand for online art recommendation service between art fans

I usually like to read my reviews
