Rockbox is a bad benchmark due to its insane versatility. Just because modern players “should” support something doesn’t mean the manufacturer put the work in to do so, or even do it well.

That said, when I buy a portable music player the decision is always based on whether or not there’s a Rockbox port for it.

Hey that’s about when I started! And I also have a LOOOOT of awful stuff, but only now am I starting to occasionally make stuff that I don’t immediately hate.

Currently participating in Weekly Beats, which is something I’d never have considered even a year ago.

Of course, I’ll be learning the entire rest of my life, so…

I feel bad it’s so materialistic but I’m stoked that the new model of the Dirtywave M8 music tracker is shipping this week or next. In the past couple years that single device has improved my music output immensely, and the user community on its Discord is ridiculously friendly and helpful.

The new model isn’t a radical update, but the new quality of life features plus the confidence that I will use it constantly really has me excited to continue my journey. For me it’s like a toy that’s always fun to play with, surprisingly deep, and after I play for a while I’ve accidentally created something. It’s cut down on my doom scrolling and social media consumption as well. For me, that’s money well spent.

No shreds given.

I'm so sick of every single medical-related question people have online constantly getting spammed with 'talk to your doctor!!!!'

The way people online constantly say ‘talk to your doctor’ like it’s a panacea is a lot like how medieval peasants weren’t able to read scripture and they just had to trust their clergy’s interpretations...

So if you get in a horrible accident and lose a limb, make sure to ask the internet for advice as you bleed out. Don’t be a sucker for “big surgeon” and bow to authority.

It if your house burns down, ask a bunch of randos to help rebuild it. You don’t want to support that multi-billion-dollar construction industry.

Consider for a moment that most doctors actually know what they’re doing and the beef you have is with a dystopian society that’s figured out how to commodify basic needs to a point where we all need to “earn” our very existence.

*didn’t. They seem to have found a handy way to legislate from the bench. All they need is an excuse to hear a fake case and some imaginative takes on obscure rings that aren’t remotely precedent.

This for me. I have the moves choreographed and timed, and every shower is a step by step play of the sequence. I just repeat the ritual. I’m not the quickest (it takes about 8 minutes from entering to exiting the bathroom) because I’m paranoid about not cleaning thoroughly.

How about opening up new opportunities for real (if unknown) voice actors to read these books for people?

Time to adopt a jaunty wink, finger guns, and a hearty “You got it, sport!” as the default response. What could possibly go wrong?

Uncommitted voters are not apathetic. The Democratic party is (www.theguardian.com)

What happens in November is up to Biden – it will not be the fault of the protest voter if Trump is elected. The questions remain: does the Democratic party fear Trump as much as we do? And does it value its voters enough to shift away from an approach to the onslaught in Gaza that a majority of Democratic voters are against?

You’re not wrong, but it beats the GOP’s playbook, and it’ll buy us some time to do the actual work of building a viable third party that might have a chance after 20 years of constant support from local elections on up.

Not voting sends no message other than you’re fine with how things are so you can’t be bothered. Threatening a comfy 2-party system with a solid alternative will make them sweat.

People demanding better is not a side, and thus cannot win. The let’s not bomb kids side has zero power. Your choice is between bombing kids and bombing more kids. Enabling the bombing more kids side means your fake morals outweigh the sloppy real-world political situation that actually exists.

Your house is on fire. You are standing equidistant from a full petrol can and a bucket of water, and you’re deciding not to act because neither is the perfect solution.

That’s…definitionally not quitting, quiet or otherwise. That’s literally doing the work you agreed to do when hired.

Oh well then I feel so bad for them /s

When I started my current job they told me the position was 45 hours/week. For my salary and task load that sounded reasonable. After that 45 I am gone and they respect my boundaries, which was honestly unexpected.

What are the most mindblowingly creative, inventive, or otherwise otherworldly albums you know of?

One of my favorite things to do while stoned is listen to albums that are really unique, artful, and/or jam packed with soul and energy, as in that head space music just hits completely differently and it just lends to me finding a deep love and appreciation for the art of music. What’re some of your favorites?

Not sure if it fits the assignment, but the first two Human League albums from the 70s (Reproduction and Travelogue) are analogue synth brilliance. If you can find the expanded version of Reproduction with the Dignity of Labour EP & flexidisc conversation added, even better.

Listen: FLAC files on my android phone using Foobar2000. Or for serious listening, FLAC files on an Astell & Kern with nice headphones.

Discover: Friends, family, Bandcamp. Bandcamp is great because the bands have the option to recommend their own favourites, and if they don’t, Bandcamp does the “other supporters of this band listen to this” thing. Bandcamp collections are public, so find out who paid money for an album you like and see what else they bought.

And now for the weird one: Goodwill. Not just browsing used CDs for treasures, but listen to their overhead music (especially around Halloween). There’s a surprisingly good mix of random stuff playing. I’ve Shazam-ed more music there than anywhere else.

Elon Musk says it's his turn to have the remote (www.engadget.com)

[Xitter] just announced a smart TV app for streaming video. Or, more accurately, that it claims it’s building one, with absolutely no launch date mentioned. The appropriately-named [Xitter] TV wants to be “your go-to companion for a high-quality, immersive entertainment experience on a larger screen.”

I love Plympton’s stuff in general, but The Tune is epic. I lucked into a DVD at a used shop years ago and I’m so happy to have it.

JackiesFridge,
@JackiesFridge@lemmy.world avatar

The Tune (1992) by Bill Plympton is definitely an experience. Hausu (1977) is a weird fever dream. Dead In the Water (2006) was co-written & directed by a friend and is a decent indie zombie movie. It was fun seeing his parents cameo as zombies and then have Thanksgiving dinner with them.

"We are going to put Satanic chaplains in Florida schools, nothing in the bill places limits on who can become a chaplain, and Ron DeSantis can not simply amend the Constitution limiting the religious liberty of some by proclamation from the podium. "

excellent, yes. exactly. @thesatanictemple

That would be funny, but it violates the fourth tenet: “The freedoms of others should be respected, including the freedom to offend. To willfully and unjustly encroach upon the freedoms of another is to forgo one’s own.”
