I haven't used any #music streaming subscription services in forever and instead I relied on physical media or free YouTube videos all this time.

But there's one feature that I really miss, namely the recommendations. I would like to put in a song or an artist and find similar music that I don't yet know about.

Does anyone know anything #FOSS that enables this? Something like a "similar artists/music" search engine, perhaps even with advanced search parameters?

Nouveau recueil d'enregistrements : Forêt mixte.
Il parle de l'irruption du printemps dans un monde assombri.

Il tombe aussi à point nommé car je donnerai deux concerts cette fin de semaine en centre Bretagne, l'occasion de présenter en public ces nouvelles explorations.

Bonne écoute !

Ageless Linux, a "technical provocation disguised as Linux distro," circulates among developers and privacy activists 🧩.
Built on Debian, it rejects age verification laws to defend open-source freedom from regulatory overreach 🔒.

No software is complete without good documentation – and our community is working hard to provide just that. Now the Turkish guides are on the #LibreOffice Bookshelf: https://blog.documentfoundation.org/blog/2026/03/16/the-turkish-documentation-community-joins-libreoffice-bookshelf/ #foss #openSource #freesoftware

"Public institutions are funded by taxpayers' money: their communications serve public interests and should be open to all - without the need of creating social media accounts on proprietary, for-profit closed systems. This is especially salient for European governmental communications: isn’t it absurd that they would require social media accounts owned and run by U.S. based companies?"

Instagram removed end‑to‑end encrypted chats on May 8, 2026 🔓.

Without E2EE, private messages could become accessible for data analysis or AI training, raising serious privacy and user‑trust concerns 🤔.
