I deeply resonate with the sentiments in this article. It brilliantly articulates the topic in a way that I didn't have the language for.

It's more important than ever in today's homogenized internet monoculture to advocate for such things, especially for those outside the tech sphere. Great read!

This is strange. I tried your snippet with your file and it works for me:

(env) ➜  testing cat x.py
from mutagen.id3 import ID3
tags = ID3("myfile.mp3")
print(tags["TXXX:FMPS_Rating_Amarok_Score"])                                                                                                                                               
(env) ➜  testing python x.py
0.78

This is the best option. I recommend Nand2Tetris to everyone! It's an incredibly well designed and executed course

I started off with a PHP blog based on PageNode which I hosted on a VM I shared with a friend, but later moved to Hugo hosted on Cloudflare Pages. I've had various Wordpress blogs in the past, but couldn't keep any of them around - hopefully this one stays!

Ooh, I hadn't heard of Quarto before, but it looks really good! Thanks for mentioning it!

I wanna go to one so bad! But they never happen in my city..

Have you seen all the people just stuffing their profile README full of random graphics and stats and badges

eBPF is something that I've been exploring recently for work. I was quite blown away when I realized the true potential. I did find it difficult to get started, and while this article is a good introduction, some example code or hands on would be nice to have

I had this same problem, after clearing my Jerboa data it worked fine. Hope that helps

I'll be sure to read it when you do :)

OTOH, the more pythonic one will probably perform worse, but I'm not familiar enough with Python internals to make that claim without benchmarks.

I'll try it out and add the data in the article

You are right that it does feel a little roundabout. My understanding is that webfinger converts from the username to the user profile url and image. This is useful during federation, and for generic fedi/activitypub clients because different Fedi software maps usernames and profiles differently.

For example, user@lemmy.instance will reside at lemmy.instance/u/user, while user @mastodon.instance will reside at mastodon.instance/user.

Fom some poking around, it seems that Lemmy does not properly support sending the profile image on Webfinger because I wasn't able to do it using the rel parameters that are mentioned in the spec.
