I do medium + tray if I can see both :)

can you ever really see a medium

Is that a joke I’m missing? :P

i'm not sure

medium = a CD, vinyl, USB stick etc

I can see em okay :D

Hi, just here to ask a question, asked some people on the discord but no response so I'm asking here as a last ditch effort:

"Is there a way to query users by their ID on the API? like not UUID but their actual id when you for example copy their button to subscribe to a person

etc: https://musicbrainz.org/account/subscriptions/e...

13831 being for the user A, I was just wondering, because that seems to be the only way to query accounts in order."

No, ids are internal database stuff

What do you mean with querying accounts in order?

<reosarevok[m]> "What do you mean with querying..." <- I'm just looking to see if I can get a list of all accounts from oldest to newest

Why would you want that? 😅

I basically just wanna find out who the oldest users are on the platform, as stuff like that interests me

It would be a lot easier to download the database if you want to do that kind of stuff really

What file from the database would I have to download?

I saw multiple and I wanna know what one contains the info I'm looking for

mbdump-editor.tar.bz2 should be the one with that data specifically, i assume (https://musicbrainz.org/doc/MusicBrainz_Databas...)

Note that it intentionally contains partial data only as the database is about music metadata, not its users.

UserBrainz when?

We can start storing personal information about all our users so that everyone is in their best behavior when editing, unless they want to get doxxed. Right?

We could even put quotas, like, "get 300 edits this week or we are sharing your ID number publicly"

Would make for a good system, albeit pseudo-Orwellian in nature.

But there's a price to be paid for metadata, innit?

price to be paid == GDPR fines

Not if we store the government employees personal information first

/s for if it wasn't obvious by now

if this hasnt been a april fools before, it would be a great one :)

with the way the modern world is it is often hard to distinguish sarcasm/jokes from actual "real" statements :-(

Did you not hear? Musk has purchased open source

I hope he kept the receipt lol

How would you purchase open source???

Iirc when Micro$oft purchased GitHub there was such a headline somewhere lol
