    @jrbe the golden age of FOSS is definitely over. Many foundational, irreplaceable projects have been infected by AI generated contributions.And completely regardless of the AI outputs quality, I doubt companies in the future will feel any incentive to contribute anything back; Some C-suite will always think they can wing it with AI.So going forward, if we want a slop-free stack, we either have to stick to old versions or massively reduce scope. And that's not even touching hardware support

    Has anyone ever come across an Android media player that's both1. Open Source (preferrably in the F-Droid store) and,2. lets you rate (exact scale doesn't matter, binary, 5 stars, whatever) things from the now-playing page and saves those ratings either to file metadata or has a desktop equivalent that can sync them with itself?I want to be able to quickly go through music and decide if it deserves a closer listen later or is bad and I should just delete it. Mostly to have a sort of pre-screen that I can do easily while on my bicycle (where I need to pay attention and can't dig through menus, but can hit "Like" or "4 star" and swipe to the next track). The only thing I'm aware of that can do this is Mediamonkey (which is not open source).#AskFedi #OpenSource #FLOSS #Android #FDroid
