  • We received a dmca from sorny about that whole linux on ps3 thing. My hands were tied and I was pissed, so I did the only thing I could think of that wouldn’t lead to me getting fired, I published the takedown.

  • spotify-qt

    Lightweight Spotify client using Qt

  • IIRC, Spotify requires that you be a premium user to have API access to be able to use unofficial native clients like this one, and Discord will straight up ban your account if you try to use a third party client too much. BetterDiscord is a mod for the first-party client, so it behaves similarly enough that it's difficult for them to detect it. But it happened to a friend of mine that was using the WeeChat plugin while it was still being developed. There's plenty of other instances of similar situations with other services.

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.
