  • Counter counter point. Your brain hasn’t been as fried by technology as the youth (I’m Gen Z). Streaming has trained our brains to never listen to full albums. Having to rewind is kinda the point. You’re way more likely to listen to an album from start to finish. Phones are overrated.

  • Gen z here. I don’t feel like I’ve earned the right to talk about cassettes as a youngster, but a Type II cassette on a well maintained dual capstan deck and a well biased recording sound pretty good. Add a touch of Dolby type b noise cancellation and it’s even better.

    Specifically, I’m using a Yamaha k-1020 deck ($350 refurbished), and Maxwell XL-II 90 tapes ($5-10). I’m running a proper audio interface into the cassette deck. Since I’m using my phone, I have the luxury of rapidly skipping around an album on my phone while I’m checking levels for an entire album. And I’m using a 3 head deck, so I can hear exactly what’s being recorded in realtime.

    You might read that and be like “that’s too much work”, but that’s kinda the point imo. Why do people still do film photography when it’s more work than digital? (I also shoot film lol)

    Admittedly, things fall apart a little when you move to portable cassette players. Modern players are kinda crap. I haven’t gotten my hands on any vintage walkmans yet.

  • Wonder what he’ll add to this exhibit next

  • We can keep score colors without the animation. It would just mean any change to score (your vote or the post refreshing with new votes) would render instantly instead of animating the number.

  • Thank you! Those are all great ideas, and I need some time to think them over.

    How do you feel about animated post/comment score? Because I could add a single “reduce motion” accessibility toggle that turns off both the score animation and auto hiding nav.

    Swiping between the tabs inbox would make sense, especially from a material design perspective. But I’m already dealing with some issues where the sidebar shows up or doesn’t show up when swiping, depending on the context. I think you’re objectively right, but I’m going to sit on this one a bit longer until I can make it work really well.

  • Thank you! Let me know if there is anything that can make Blorp even better for you! Feature requests, bug fixes, etc. Viewing moderation reports is up next.

  • Probably Microsoft: You’re hired! Go work on GitHub

  • Not deliberate. I’ll see if I can get that working easily

  • Now that I’m thinking about it, I wonder if it was actually public relations and not legal. This was back when M1 was just coming out. Regardless, just ask them for all the call recordings and make them think you’re gonna do something with those recordings (sue, go to the press, etc.). It was crazy how their tone shifted immediately from we’re not gonna give you anything to how can we make this right.

    But maybe it doesn’t always work, as your Apple ID story was obviously published. Maybe it depends on who you get it maybe Apple is different today 🤷

    Maybe reach out to Apple with a link to the blog post, and ask if they would like to comment before you reach out to Gizmodo or something. I’m not a lawyer so don’t sue me if it goes badly.

  • In my experience, the best way to get Apple to listen is to get legal involved. I spent hours on the phone trying to resolve a laptop that was damaged by a certified service provider. Apple support was rude, they lied to me, they bounced me between departments. So I wrote one email requesting all the recordings for the calls with support. Immediately someone from legal contacts me, apologizes, and 2 weeks later I have a brand new laptop 2 generations newer in hand.

  • Blorp dev here. Unfortunately the link being in the title isn’t fixed by using Blorp, but I can’t argue with you: Blorp is a great Lemmy and PieFed client. Maybe I’ll scan titles for links in a future update.

  • Yeah idk. I have an older veteran in my life who has suffered greatly from PTSD and substance addiction. It’s hard for me to not feel sorry for him. Don’t get me wrong, there are many I do not feel sorry for depending on their current attitude. Maybe I can’t be objective here, but I still think a blanket “good riddance” to all of them is wrong.

  • I’m not saying they deserve none of the blame, but often you’re recruited into a system around 18, they offer to pay for you’re wildly unaffordable college education, and once you’re in, it’s illegal to leave before a certain number of years. It’s the blanket statement that frustrates me. Surely there are 18 year olds who are just trying to survive financially. They still deserve blame, but the system is predatory.

  • Been using the beta, but I missed the reminder alarm thing. That’s gonna be super useful!

  • Pen pineapple apple (on) pizza

  • But more importantly, did your uptime get reset?

  • Idk if you have professional experience writing tickets, but this is very well written. Most people just write “the screen is blank” lol. It will take me a little time to dig into this, but that you for the instructions!

  • Skill issue. Next time you can open up the computers power supply while it’s running, splice in a second power cable, and attach a UPS without powering down or getting electrocuted.

    For legal reasons, /s
