Masties help me out: is there a way in Ivory or any other app for me to search my own past toots? I opted into the search thing.

You guys. I just made a playlist that is 69 songs and 4hrs 20 minutes. It wasn’t even intentional. But this feels right. It feels good. #420day

Big shout-out to @henrytcasey for getting me the Lost in Translation vinyl. I’m very scared at what Seattle stores will be like today with Pearl Jam so I’m extremely grateful.

If you want to feel old and awful, Columbine happened 25 years ago today. The amazing Dave Cullen, who wrote one of the best Columbine books (Jeff Kass wrote the other one) wrote this for The Atlantic. https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2024/04/columbine-school-shooting-mythology/678119/

@clutem honestly his book is great but so is the lesser-known book by Jeff Kass. Both worked at Colorado newspapers and extensively interviewed the community. Both worth reading. Cullen’s has been the big hit because it came out first but Kass’s book is equally excellent.

Apparently Apple Music for Mac has rabid fanbois (they are all men. All of them) and they are on Threads?! Of all the truly shitty products to stan, you want to defend Apple Music on the Mac?! I’ll defend Apple Music on iOS, even tho sync is a shit show, but on the desktop?! Man normies are weird.

@christianselig same. It’s why I pay for Spotify b/c time is too short to fuck around with Apple Music for Mac

@joshrivers sadly no. At first I was hopeful the redesigned Apple Music app for windows would be because they stripped all the iTunes stuff out of it but no

@stroughtonsmith I feel this so hard. Like you I’ve got over 20 years of this shit and I’m prob just going to go PlexAMP or Roon.

@waltman right that is nice but if you’ve got a really large library, they don’t always work particularly well.

@film_girl@mastodon.social avatar

@so I’m convinced these are people that have never used a good desktop music client and are convinced this is as good as it gets.

@tjdraper agreed. There is an app called Swinsian (it’s a one-time purchase and v3 has been in development for a while, you get it by downloading the beta from inside the app on their website by holding option when you check for updates) that is essentially better version of old school iTunes. It’ll even import your iTunes or AM library and supports FLAC.

@film_girl@mastodon.social avatar

@jamie_blumberg totally. And that’s why I’m forced to use it on desktop. Because I need to update metadata or want to upload something to my library.

When Tidal, who yes is usually super late (but we forgive them b/c it is Tidal) beats you…

Nicolas was 6 hours early in his question. The answer was "absolutely not" as it took 15 minutes for the 2am double album to show up on the service https://tacobelllabs.net/@ultranurd/112294901851224597

The Framework 13 would be my favorite laptop if the battery life was not butt.

@film_girl@mastodon.social avatar

@Eggfreckles Yeah, I'm considering the AMD model. I just wish the screen was a little higher-res. But my 2021 model was a fantastic laptop (currently looking at Windows replacements)

@film_girl@mastodon.social avatar

@Eggfreckles yeah mine dual boots too. By Windows I guess I meant x86.
