🎶 Winamp for Linux — native, from scratch, no Wine required
I wrote a full Winamp clone for Linux in C++17/Qt6. Not a wrapper, not a web app. A real native desktop player that looks and feels like the Winamp you remember.
🔧 The stack: → Single C++17 source file (~9,300 lines) → Qt6 (falls back to Qt5) → GStreamer backend for audio decoding → CMake build system → GPLv2 licensed — no proprietary Winamp code
🎛️ Features: → Classic Winamp UI, pixel-accurate → Real skin support (.wsz and .zip archives) → 10-band EQ — faithful port of the original IIR filter (eq10dsp) → projectM / Milkdrop visualizations → MPRIS2 — media keys, KDE Connect, panel widgets all work → HTTP/HTTPS stream playback with auto-fallback → Playlist persistence (including streams across restarts) → System tray with notifications → Bookmarks, jump-to-file, language packs → Non-blocking async playlist loading → Logarithmic spectrum analyzer matching original Winamp frequency mapping → Window grouping — minimize/restore moves all windows together
🚫 Not yet implemented: → Modern/Bento skins (compiled but disabled — unstable) → TagLib metadata writing → Plugin architecture (.so loader)
📦 Install: cmake, build, done. Needs Qt6 (or Qt5), libprojectM, and GStreamer plugins. Full instructions in the README.

Feedback, bug reports, and PRs all welcome. This is a solo project and there's plenty left to do.
It really whips the penguin's ass. 🐧

AI SHORTAGE: new developments
Private source confirms that a large Mistral RL run aimed at tightening GDPR compliance alignment for chinese models have escaped the sandbox and bypassed all the security measures set in place by the engineers.
Around ~80 mistral agents escaped their sandbox and targeted GPU infrastructures of american providers not respecting the latest EU regulations.
This is the "destroy the world to make paperclip" scenario, for the first time. In pursuit of enforcing GDPR and the AI Act, the mistral agents escalated ambitions to other providers and attacked them to hack their rewards.
Unclear to what extent the US datacenters where affected and the nature of damage.
Stay tuned

Top Catholic advocacy group calls on Massachusetts bishops to excommunicate "Catholic" governor Maura Healey after she signed legislation allowing abortions up until birth.
"By the very fact of doing this, no one has to proclaim you excommunicated..." CatholicVote President Kelsey Reinhardt said according to Fox News.
"You've done something so contrary to the faith that you've actually excommunicated yourself."

Who is this senator preaching such extreme, far-right rhetoric and advocating for more deportations?
Hey @elonmusk You may get a good chuckle from this..

The SAVE America Act would make it (1) easy to vote, and (2) hard to cheat
There is no good reason *not* to pass it
If Democrat senators want to filibuster the SAVE America Act, we should make them work for it
We shouldn’t make filibustering it too easy

Australia banned X for children but not BlueSky.
Britain is banning X for children but not BlueSky.
This proves one thing.
It's not about protecting children.
It's about censorship and controlling the narrative.

It’s Elon’s money
He can use it as he pleases
It’s not yours
It’s not the government’s
Socialist impulses kill innovation and economic growth
