It’s just been pointed out to me that the reason Apple runs a trade-in programme for older devices is so they can reduce the size of the used market, and has fuck all to do with recycling.

That’s blown my tiny mind.

Further to this, as I get older and (hopefully) more wise to the world, one of the things that’s really hit me is how everything has a price. Everything.

In this situation, Apple has decided that it’s worth them giving someone a £150 discount on a new phone in order to guarantee that they’ll make more money selling newer phones.

As someone who never really thinks about economy, it’s amazing to me that people’s brains work that way on an industrial scale.

According to this article, they shred literal tons of devices, regardless of whether they’re serviceable. Just yoink the battery and shred the rest.

I still find it utterly absurd that is a mandatory part of all news broadcasts. For someone with zero interest in sport, it has sounded like this to me for 50+ years: "Those were the main news headlines... Now, rodent news: Manchester Zoo has loaned Señor Fluffi, a Spanish gerbil, from Zoo Aquarium de Madrid for £20 million. They have also expressed interest in acquiring a squirrel..."

@Richard_Littler I feel the same about all news broadcasts, tbh.

I find it absolutely bizarre that I can be jiving about the kitchen on a Saturday evening, enjoying the funk & soul show on 6Music, to be brought down to earth with a thud with a news bulletin about how shit everything is.

I understand the need before we all had All The News in our pockets, but these days we need an escape.

If you can't handle me at my avatar of a hotdog, you don’t deserve me at my un-cropped version showing a hotdog with a hotdog for a boner.

With great deliberation, I’ve decided that next Monday’s edition of #ThePlaylist shall have the theme of…

Animals

Animals are great, and there’s loads of them that people have written songs about. So fling your suggestions my way and let’s see if we can’t put together the best animals-related radio show the world has ever seen.

Monday / 8-10pm BST / https://labr.online / @labr

This week’s word was ‘Yellow’, so we went out to the New Forest to find some gorse.

If this had happened in the movie, the dinosaurs would have escaped immediately, while the humans died horrible, painful deaths. https://botsin.space/@lexknowssystems/112513018278238626

One of the nice things about listening to @labr while cooking dinner is not having to break for the news.

There’s a lot to be said for this.

Morning comrades!

I need to start pondering the theme for next Monday's radio show today. I think it might be 'Numbers'.

DJDarren,
@DJDarren@mendeddrum.org avatar

I did consider making it a Steve Albini special, but with the best will in the world I don't think my listeners will tolerate two solid hours of white guys yelling at them.

They get enough of that here on Mastodon.

This Greek lass is scaring me, she’s like one of those feral youths you get these days.

Listening out for booing. It would appear they’ve killed the audience mics.

I’d be surprised if it got through though.

Did anyone else’s stream just go down?

Eyes down for , lads.

And a great start with the lass from Israel coming out to a song where the chorus is “I don’t care”.

Astonishing.

So Norway just gave their 12 points to the Norwegians who performed for Sweden?

Finland were supposed to have Kaarija delivering the scores, but he told the EBU to get fucked. Big ups to the lad.

I really didn’t want to like this because of his nose jewellery, but dammit, it’s great. The shiny nosed shithouse.
