Hey mayhem, late MeB start for me today sorry. Might catch you tonight :)

rdswift: mayhem: my eeeeeeyyyyyeeeeeeeessssss

To be honest I don’t the the RTD colours need many changes, but a few tweaks wouldn’t hurt

monkey: ansh: woo! I’ll have a look at fresh releases today, and draft up a blog post/some socials

Wow, people were busy today :) Good job team

LB team: https://www.reddit.com/r/emacs/comments/18co07m...

lucifer: my Bandcamp/webscrobbler listens are going weird again https://usercontent.irccloud-cdn.com/file/NxyPl... 

ansh: param: how are you guys feeling about LB-757?

LB-757: artist updates on new releases https://tickets.metabrainz.org/browse/LB-757

Now that we’ve put a lot of work into Fresh Releases we should make sure it doesn’t stay buried in ‘explore’!

[listenbrainz-server] 14Aerozol opened pull request #2663 (03master…fresh-Fresh-Releases-image-2): Fresh Fresh Releases explore image https://github.com/metabrainz/listenbrainz-serv...

<aerozol> "rdswift: mayhem: my eeeeeeyyyyyeeeeeeeessssss" Like I said, "proof of concept" and demonstrating that we can customize colors and such while still hosting on RTD. Looks like the demonstration was successful. :-)

rdswift: All good, I got that it was for attention from the colourful one!

👍

monkey: ansh: Draft blog post. I’m happy for you guys to workshop it and hit publish without checking back in with me, unless you want to: https://wordpress.com/post/blog.metabrainz.org/...

aerozol: yes the data is still outdated, it failed when i tried to regenerate it. i will look into fixing it soon.

aerozol: also, not sure how much of the original data it is but i have recovered 6677 manual mapping entries.

lucifer: That's great news!

I'm not sure about announcing the details re. discovery? If you guys are working on a post re. what happened I'll leave it for that. Otherwise I can do some socials giving a quick update re. it being safe to import from last.fm and some links being lost

rdswift: nice orange!

Yay some manual mapping

aerozol: still around?

reosarevok: kiiinda 😊

aerozol: sorry didn't understand what you mean

lucifer: I'm not sure if I should put out a update on the socials re. what we've done and what's changed since the LB data loss

aerozol: for https://github.com/metabrainz/musicbrainz-serve... - so do you feel that in https://musicbrainz.org/account/preferences it should be a header "Email me a notification when:" and then four rows, like so:

I think you and/or mayhem mentioned doing a big debrief post at some point, but if not I'll send a quick update

quick update sounds good.

Of course, "activity" is a bit misleading - it's only about notes, you don't get mailed if people vote or whatever

So maybe:

?

imo simplifying it to activity is fine, but it's not really the MeB way 😛

(simplifying)

I mean, I just fear people would then be confused when the edit they voted Yes on fails and nobody left a note with the No vote and they're confused

Intro could be shortened to 'email me when'?

Or if the edit passes/fails and nobody tells them :D

Yes, agreed

I guess in https://musicbrainz.org/account/preferences the same could be done with "Allow other users to see:" "My subscriptions" etc

And "Automatically subscribe me when I add:" "Artists" etc

Hmm that does seem a bit clearer to me

Sorry, I had something on the stove :D

It's ok, don't burn your food

I guess

You skipped [ ] notes on edits I have left notes on

That’s the best I could noodle (rice, actually, but that doesn’t work) out to make it a bit shorter

aerozol: so "voted on" would be completely detached from "abstained on", right?

(but default to on if they have voted on active I guess so we keep the current workings by default)

That's how I understood your and bitmap's notes

It made sense to me. Note that it's Friday at the end of a long week, but I think I got my head round it

Ok : )

mayhem: art api is 500-ing when a user has less than 5 artists for top 5 artists image. thoughts on whether to refuse to generate the image because not enough artists or just show as many top artists (1-4) are there?

b) IMO unless it's really bad for some reason?

should be doable but might or might not look good with less data.

moin!

could we be cheeky and use the space to encourage the user to list to more music?

would look like this for 2 artists https://usercontent.irccloud-cdn.com/file/OyDPs... 

but I agree with reo, let it generate a shorter list.

yeah, doesn't look great, but its not the art generators fault.

the encourage thing also sounds fine, maybe aerozol can do some mockups

I'd suggest having ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ for the rest except that no doubt someone actually listened to artist ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.

Fill all extra rows with Rick Astley, you mean?

I didn't say it.

It would be funny, but maybe having a real artist is too confusing/meddling

(huh, either there's no "¯\_(ツ)_/¯" artist in MB or our search just is unable to find it)

(someone surely must have named themselves that?)

time to start a very not serious side project, reosarevok .

I mean

I would

But ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

that is why you're perfect for the job!

aerozol: so, something like this?

https://usercontent.irccloud-cdn.com/file/clFmv... 

lucifer: probably I would leave the other rows blank. We'll probably have some people want to share the image if it really highlights their love for [artist] imo!

(on a related note, it really feels the "Editing" header should be "Subscriptions"... but I guess maybe it's not because then the "mail about subscriptions" thing would fit in both there and email 😅

)

reosarevok: looks nice! Let me just find my... Where is it...

Pft. It's not even over 9000

Oof yeah, maybe leave the headings!

Sorry if you were already planning these: the 'send me mails with edits...' line could use some breathing space above, and maybe the indent should line up with the other black text

Subscribe me when I add a new:

[ ] Artist

etc

^ just a thought

Looks like a big improvement though!

!m reosarevok

You're doing good work, reosarevok!

aerozol: moin!

I wanted to touch base with you regarding the mosaic.
