@Unabart@dobbs.town

Yep, I’ve been there. Lifetime nomad. Nerd. Rocker. Slacker. Professional button pusher and amateur knob twiddler.

Already too radical to be radicalized. Unfiltered, unfettered and understandably unbenign.

I don’t care what you want to be, what you want to do, or how you want to act. Just don’t expect me to do it, agree to it, or make it an issue for me. I really, truly, honestly do not care. Leave me out of it.

Please don’t fuck with me. I’m asking nicely.

Spotify to raise prices, then pay musicians even less.

If your music is on Spotify, why? Are you so successful that you enjoy subsidizing Spotify executives' extravagant lifestyles?

Compost is a fantastic tool that can help us balance the . The more we talk about it, the more we can inspire people to start this wonderful habit.

Our habits make us, and talking about positive habits is a good thing in the toxic environment social media can be.

I would be honored if we had a community of accounts that talk about it, and you can be sure that you will be boosted, and followed and not feel like is a void.

Low ticket prices, that was typical for punk rock/hardcore concerts

Fugazi at Irving Plaza, New York City, April 4, 1995. Tickets are a super cheap $6 👍

@historyofpunkrock I was at a gig in 1993 that was Gang Green, Agent Orange, RKL and The Vandals for $7, if I recall. It definitely wasn’t double digits. And that was an epic night of punk rock. A lot of the clubs back then made their money at the bar and a lineup like that brought out the drinkers. I remember hearing about Fugazi threatening to pull out of gigs over ticket prices. Always chalked it up to Mr. Sanctimonious MacKaye getting some easy PR while starving his bandmates.

I'm currently thinking about how to best add (Atom) feeds to my new site, but I have never really used feed readers…

Can someone tell me about what's considered best practice? I'm pretty much out of my depth here.^^

Can feeds be paginated or do I have to decide whether I want to only hand out the n latest items or all of them, ever?

Is there a distinction between teasers and full views?

Unabart,

@phryk Please let me read the full article in my reader. Unless you're fishing for ad impressions, in which case forget it altogether :)

Full view - this is the way!

@phryk @ttk If I have to click on anything, I am out. I'm typically reading this on my tablet and any additional effort isn't worth it. Most feed readers let you collapse the article or just display the title by default. Let the end user decide, is my vote

The customer who had issues with my design choices continues to not be satisfied. I have offered a refund if they return the item, after more support messages, of course.

Honestly if someone wants a refund and they do a return it can be easier than trying to support them in some cases.

Unabart,

@rasterweb He wants you to say “keep it, here’s your refund. Sorry for the trouble.” It’s a grift as old as time.

is there anything more quintessentially California than seeing a $200k Luicid Air parked next to a 1970s RV someone is living out of?

@mathowie That looks like Mission Valley, San Diego. And not an uncommon site, if so.

    @Some_Emo_Chick But…. Did they actually seize any property? I don’t see any news reporting this. But they should! They won’t… but they SHOULD. Look, this guy should have taken the stand in his prison jumpsuit over a zoom call. They won’t do anything to this guy. Ever. And he’s going to make it all go away when the GOP cult feebs vote him back in.

    Why the hell would I want to take crappy pictures with a Game Boy? I can understand the unique and strange video the Fisher Price Pixelvision cameras can shoot, as an expensive novelty, but beyond "because I can", there's no need for a Game Boy camera. Apps already do this shit and it's fun for all of 5 minutes.

    Kinda love how a lot of USB-C accessories on suddenly have 'iPhone' in the name.

    Welcome to the land of partial sanity, iPhone users!

    Now if we could only get you to be able to side-load your own blasted software. Or jailbreak your phone without risking bricking and lots of bad things. Or install an alternative operating system.

    Unabart,

    @RL_Dane Pretty sure those who have iPhones, mostly, don’t care about OS or sideloading shit. And I’m not sure why you would care either. Let people enjoy what they got. It’s not a feature contest. Yes, your phone is amazing. Roger that. 🎊 🫡

    Thanks to @lauren pointing it out, I'm enjoying "The Andromeda Strain" again, (free on YouTube with ads). It's one of those peak 70s sci-fi films; everyone should watch. Very 70s, but also very hard sci-fi, both in the best ways.

    And once you're done watching read: https://theasc.com/articles/the-andromeda-strain-may-1971 which is a great article about all the special care taken to make the movie.

    @virtualbri @lauren Someone made a version of this called “The Strain Andromeda” that plays the movie backwards, shot by shot. Have never seen it, but have wanted to.

    A guy I used to work with way back in the day is now a CEO at a tech company and penned a diatribe on LinkedIn about how he’s getting his remote workers back in the office and basically called them lazy for prioritizing laundry over work projects. I’m not gonna beef with him on the platform that is my cv, but enough other people are telling him that the slaves are free and it’s time to forget about the ole electronic plantation. He has forgotten the face of his father.

    @mxtthxw A great movie, but was kind of a cop-out to make him all crazy at the end. Like why couldn’t it have been a cautionary tale about a dude who had enough shit thrown at him and decides to fix the things nobody else will…. WITH EXTREME VIOLENCE! But no, he had to be mentally ill.

    The @MonaApp, which I’ve been testing since the very beginning, now wants me to pay. I should have charged for my beta testing! Can’t import my settings into the new version I downloaded. Might be the end for us!

    @mxtthxw I won’t even go the extra step. Fuck it. Nothing on the internet, behind a paywall, is worth the effort. If your business model is to charge people to read content that will be readily available elsewhere, then your business model is a failure. I sure it’s littered with ads and privacy nightmare tracking, even if you paid. Burn it all down. The web is dead, ruined by marketing and greed.

    I don’t use Discord for anything. They keep emailing me saying my username will expire. No, not the phishing emails. I used it once when a pirate iptv service I was using had its help desk setup on there. Amazingly fast and polite service. Eventually dude got busted or exit-scammed, so it went dark. I tried the FlipperZero chat rooms and it was a dumpster fire. The whole experience was like the very worst of Reddit, on steroids, in real time. Not for me.

    Dune: Part Two was rad. With the story fluff out of the way, this gets right at it. They had those floating flea looking things that I killed thousands of in the video games over the years. Wish I had the rom to fire up the NES game right now. That was the genesis of the Command & Conquer games. Westwood Studios was killing it back then.
