Hey everyone! I've spent the last several months building "Dorsal", an iOS-native music player for Jellyfin with the features that I felt I personally wanted. Designed for those who like to see and listen to their music as an album-focused experience.

I'm interested in getting it in your hands to see what you all think. I have my Jellyfin server set up in a pretty basic way so I'm curious to see if it works well for others too! The code is open-source (MIT-licensed), I have a TestFlight open beta, and it is available on the App Store (it does have a price to support development, developer program fees, etc), so you can get it for free or use and support the production release, up to you! Here are the links:

• App Store: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/dorsal-music/id6762251157 (happy to offer promo codes for early users as well!)

I'm the solo dev, so I'm happy to try and answer any questions! Thanks everyone!

Elon Musk has not attended a voluntary interview he was summoned to appear at in Paris, according to French authorities probing his platform X.

The company's offices were raided by the Paris prosecutor's cyber-crime unit in February over suspected criminal offences related to content on the platform.

Musk was given the date of 20 April for an interview as part of an investigation first launched in 2025 but later widened over concerns about X's chatbot Grok being used to create non-consensual sexual deepfake images.

The Paris prosecutor's office told the BBC in a statement on Monday - without naming Musk - it had "taken note of the absence of the people summoned".

Dankzij verkeerde keuzes door het stichtingsbestuur van het Algemeen Burgerlijk Pensioenfonds (ABP) hebben de ruim 3 miljoen **verplichte **deelnemers de laatste jaren een koopkrachtverlies. En dan moet dit fonds op 1 januari 2027 nog over naar het nieuwe pensioensstelsel waarbij de pensioenen worden bepaald op basis van rendementen op het belegde vermogen van de deelnemers. Door m.n. vele gepensioneerde deelnemers wordt dit moment met spanning tegemoet gezien. Immers de hoogte van hun pensioen zal dus van die rendementen worden bepaald. De laatste jaren was die negatief terwijl de gangbare vermogenbeheerders gemiddeld 7-9% rendement behaalden.

There is a distinct lack of random functions for vectors, so I decided to add some to the Mouse Potato Utils Plugin.

However, I'm not sure whether I should make the right end of the range inclusive (make it a maximum) or exclusive (like the range() function) when it comes to integer vectors.

I'll make it inclusive for now, but what do you think?

The DDoS attack against Mastodon's flagship server comes less than a week after Bluesky was targeted with junk web traffic.

This is the West and its democratic spearhead, Germany.

After politely being told I can't upload any more weird Frog and Toad memes (due to advocating violence?!?) by a mod from my old instance, I nuked my account and switched over here. I hope you enjoy more silly memes like this. :)

Traces of cocaine that pollute rivers and lakes may accumulate in the brains of salmon and disrupt their behaviour, according to researchers who warn of unknown consequences for fish populations.

Juvenile Atlantic salmon that were artificially exposed to the drug and its main breakdown product swam further and dispersed more widely across a lake, suggesting the substances can affect where the fish go, what they eat and how vulnerable they are to predators.

What impact the pollutants have when they enter watercourses from sewage works is unclear, but the fish may pay a price if they burn more energy, or face greater risks from predators if they have to forage for more food to keep their energy up, scientists say.

“Largely, we don’t know the consequences, but I expect there to be trade-offs,” said Dr Jack Brand at the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences. “They may end up in worse condition or have to offset it by foraging a lot more, meaning they spend more time out in the open.”

Scientists have said before that pollution from common drugs poses “a major and escalating risk to biodiversity” and have called on pharmaceutical companies to make greener medicines that breakdown in the environment. Concerns over the contaminants have been fuelled by reports of trout “addicted” to methamphetamine and perch losing their fear of predators because of antidepressant medications.

In 2019, tests on freshwater shrimp in rivers in Suffolk found traces of dozens of different drugs, including cocaine, methamphetamine, antidepressants, anxiolytics for anxiety and antipsychotics, but the researchers did not draw any conclusions about their potential to cause harm.

The then cabinet secretary, Simon Case, appeared to advise Keir Starmer to complete security vetting for Peter Mandelson before announcing an appointment, documents reveal.

The documents released last month by the Cabinet Office as part of the disclosures over the US ambassadorial appointment also show Mandelson was offered a “higher tiers” briefing before his vetting was finalised.

In a letter written by Case to the prime minister, he is advised that in order to give the Washington role to a political appointee, the Foreign Office would “develop a plan for them to acquire the necessary security clearances and do due diligence on any potential conflicts of interest or other issues of which you should be aware before confirming your choice”.

The letter, sent on 11 November 2024, said the decision would then be formalised by the foreign secretary in a letter to the Foreign Office. Mandelson’s appointment was announced by No 10 just over a month later, on 20 December.

The documents also show Mandelson was offered a “higher tiers” briefing on 6 January, before his developed vetting was confirmed on 29 January. This means he was offered highly classified briefing from the Foreign Office as US ambassador before he finished the formal vetting process, one he is now known to have failed before that outcome was overruled by the Foreign Office.

Push it to the limit.

Countries are navigating between the desire to speed up the green transition and worries over Beijing’s clean-tech dominance.
