Did I miss anything or how were they able to enter this when it should be blocked (MBS-10697)? https://musicbrainz.org/edit/72000811

shivam-kapila: mea ing it worked or not?

It didnt

:(

Oh well, someone is indeed selling Picard on eBay: https://www.ebay.de/itm/MusicBrainz-Picard-Musi...

wat

"MusicBrainz Picard Licensed Retailer!"

I'm certaincertain we can report this

oh ho. it's for a cd. ok. if they onlcy charged a nominal fee I'd not argue that.

but at almost 9 euro?! that's like. what nice-price music cd's cost.. in NORWAY (ie not cheap)

.. one has been sold already :/

Not necessarily. In general the licensing would allow this. They even have a disclaimer explaining it with reference to the GPL and service if providing a CD. I hope they at least include the source then as well

But for a otherwise free 30 MB download it is still a rip off

:|

talk about obeying the letter of the rules but defying the spirit

Yep

we can.. post about it on th blog and point out that it's a total rip off (even if it's legal) and also link to the picard dl wich is *only*30 mb so like

I mean if yo ucna acess ebay yo ucan download picard

jesus https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Audacity-2019-Pro-Au... more of these

Also IMHO misleading (intentionally), as it is not mentioning the official sources

yep!

Yes, it's not that uncommon. But first time I see it for Picard. I once saw a rather expensive offering for Libre office

the worst part is that they *do* mange ot scam some people.

I wonder which version they sell

he also sells audacity, inkscape, vlc, ...

"Please Note: We have been authorized under the developer’s GPL license agreement to provide a service to buyers by offering this software in a CD, DVD or USB format as defined in this listing. This is great news for individuals, companies and organizations who prefer the convenience and portability of software on a CD/DVD/USB, that may not have an internet connection to download the software, prefer the install

file to be on a CD/DVD/USB for easy distribution to other computers, and many other reasons"

outsidecontext: 2.1.3

I guess people without an internet connection can buy it on Ebay....

aww, ebay listing already gone

CatQuest: at least that's a CD where you have shipping cost, medium cost, etc. Look at that: https://www.ebay.de/itm/AUDACITY-AUDIO-REKORDER...

yea

selling a download link to audacity

THAT is scammy

ok why is everyone using the .de ebay. I can't read german :P

i'm german, and isn't outsidecontext german aswell? (:

I like german, they have long words with a lot of consonants :D

french is the language of love, german the language of war

like

Gesamtkunstwerk

<3

we can just stitch words together, yes

This is currently the longest word in the "Duden": Rinderkennzeichnungsfleischetikettierungsüberwachungsaufgabenübertragungsgesetz

oh wow

https://i.imgflip.com/2ubun1.jpg :))

dude. norwegian cna do that too :\

for serious!

overingeniørassistent

for example

apparently the longest word in french is hippopotomonstrosesquipédaliophobie

which is "fear of long words"

of course

SothoTalKer: ^^

oh god :D

Different listing: https://www.ebay.com/itm/192437992737 - claiming to be a "licensed retailer" is fishy :p

ruaok: i hope you go and collect the license fee then :p

With 33 in shipping, ha!

Mr_Monkey: can u help us with the icons for the app?

ishaanshah: iliekcomputers i am working on LB-571. We can resolve the issue by using the`strict_slashes`or adding slash(/) to the endpoint. Which one do u prefer?

LB-571: Extra slash at the end of Listens Page URL leads to 404 error https://tickets.metabrainz.org/browse/LB-571

Also, we can enable `strict_slashes `for the entire app.If done so, it will automatically handle all endpoints.

But i cannot apply it to only "user" blueprint.

So what should i do now?

abhinavohri: can we just add an app.route('/:username/') to the user page route maybe?

MFCR_ColbyRay: i *think* I can try?

MFCR_ColbyRay: i did it!

umh.. ok?

I hope that was the right thing

MFCR_ColbyRay: was it right or did I mess up?

its good

yay!

glad I could help!

>What are some of the most interesting, innovative, or unexpected ways that you have seen the projects or data built by Metabrainz being used?

i have ruaok's artist similarity based on just musicbrainz data and that guy who put their LB data into splunk for graphs.

anyone have anything else?

iliekcomputers: Also, can you tell me the difference between redis_listenstore and timescale_listenstore.

I still love that halloween mashup of the old logos that happened. one with a moose brian and one with a halloween cat

brain*

abhinavohri: redis_listenstore only stores the `playing_now` listens, while timescale stores ALL the permanent listens.

the playing_now listens expire and go away after some time.

ok thanks

hah i foudn the old meowbrainz http://www.sivari.org/~quaz/meowbrainz.jpg

but I can't find the moosicbrainz one yet. ru had it on the door of the old HQ

iliekcomputers: I am side by side working on LB-518. I have set up the local development environment and i wanna test it. So from where can i get some test data and how can i add it to the local setup?

LB-518: Allow for both min_ts and max_ts in the get_listens API endpoint. https://tickets.metabrainz.org/browse/LB-518

abhinavohri: the easiest way is to either connect your spotify account to your environment OR import from last.fm

i dont have either of those accounts. Is there any other way?

oh also hah http://web.archive.org/web/20150331045736/users... the old logo (*I* made) for the ancient last.fm group we had

dang i foudn the url http://age.hobba.nl/temp/MoosicBrainz_3.jpgbut it's gonzors

abhinavohri: you can submit data to the API yourself.
