@Omrrc If you scroll down on the Home tab, you can access the Replay within Apple Music.

@bradleyandroos I have an Apple Watch which in my head has always been the successor of the iPods, but I doubt it could be repurposed for that. My intention for buying CDs is mostly to have something at home to play. I want to have my own stereo set, and for that I’d like to perform the physical act of putting on a CD. Very opinionated lmao.
@bradleyandroos I’m just sick of renting my music, and not being able to make use of it. It’s so obvious that streamed music – even when downloaded – is not mine thanks to DRM. It’s going to take a while for me to finish this transition, and I’ll probably never cancel Apple Music/streaming altogether just because I don’t know of any convenient way to have a local and synced library. There is Doppler, but the app looks abandoned. I’m not so keen on buying an mp3 player and having one more device to carry around. Phones could play mp3s way back when, why should this be an issue now?
@birming So many conflicts in my life were borne out of misinterpretations of text messages. If only I had called those times… There’s so much subtlety lost in words when they are not communicated with voice and face. I wish we as a society would appreciate that more!
@whitneymcn Pretty convenient then that someone who open-carries a handgun probably never thought about anyone else but themselves.
@richpuchalsky Gotta think ahead of the curve ;) /s
@richpuchalsky If something, somehow, in any way, benefits poor people, that’s nothing good in the eyes of US politicians and big portions of Americans. It kinda tracks that they would turn away from even that. I don’t think most of the Democratic Party actually minds what Trump is doing. Like not in any meaningful way at the very least, but I’m being very generous here.
@b9AcE I really don’t like this dude. All of this looks like he is trying to let some of his friends off the hook indirectly, which is to be expected from statist institutions, but disappointing nonetheless.
[…] demanding presidential veto (вето), as people say this will prevent corruption investigations related to the people in power, but the president blames Russia.
Is he openly trolling his constituents like that or am I misunderstanding your reporting? He approved a law and then blamed Russia for approving it? Or is he accusing the protesters of astroturfing IRL?
@ZDL Omg, I’m so sorry. I replied to the wrong person. Upon reading your comment, yes, you basically said what I said. I meant to reply to a comment later in the thread (not by OP).
@sidereal I think it’s a combination of both. The “gen z stare” had to evolve or else we’d lose it with the shit we hear. Before you’d assume good faith and try to work with that. Now the argumentation is already known to you when the first catch phrase is dropped. Like you know immediately where this is headed so all you can do is panic on the inside and stare on the outside.
@jasonekratz I’ll take all of your tips to heart. Thank you!
[…] More that 1M people signed it (twice as many as was needed to have the petition be acknowledged by the government). And what does all of this mobilisation get them? A discussion about the law in the parliament and nothing else.
It’s the same process across Continental Europe. The worst part about this is that it is considered the direct democratic aspect of liberal democracy. How is it direct-democratic if it’s still someone else making the decisions about whether or not to follow suit with the petition’s content?
Meanwhile, industrialists don’t have to do half of the work required to get hundreds of thousands of people to agree with them to get the laws they desire.
@ZDL I think the Luddite identity/worldview has been misunderstood for way too long. Luddites don’t reject technology. They advocate for the critical evaluation of each technology’s application. It’s not about whether or not we make use of technology. Rather it’s about how we make use of it.
@jasonekratz This tip is so good! Tried it out and the difference is huge! I’m the type of person who always places the subject in the central rectangle because I thought that’s what the grid was for lmao. Thank you!
@maira Thank you for the words of encouragement! My first objective is not feeling weird when I experiment with lighting and angle in public, haha.
@PeteSkerritt This makes me nostalgic for something I never had! Now even when you buy the physical games, you don’t get any of that :(
@PandaCab Exactly that! Today’s tech is made with inconvenience in mind, not to cure it, but to intensify it. The longer you spend on it trying to get it to work, the more you can be tracked and all that comes with tracking.
I doubt people don’t realize this, though. It seems like the digital sphere is still seen as something secondary, something not worth worrying about, even when their lives pretty much depend on its functioning.
Even when it’s essential infrastructure, people are numb and expect stuff to be broken because that’s how the web has conditioned their expectations for the past one and a half decades. This blog post I read recently really captures that well.
@PandaCab Ironically, modern day capitalism isn’t actually as “convenient” as it used to be. You have to fight the tech that is marketed as the epitome of craftsmanship and the gateway to a universal leisure class, and you still don’t achieve what you expect from it.
@sebastianmalloy Apple Music can import already ripped music files into the Cloud Library and they show up on your phone. As long as you can find a CD ripping software (I’ve looked and people recommend EAC or the better dBpoweramp for Windows), you can safely uninstall iTunes for good. iTunes was just so bad the last time I used it like two years ago, that I assumed it has to have been taken down by now.
@sebastianmalloy Isn’t it obsolete now? The app still exists, but you’re supposed to use Apple Music even on Windows for the things you would’ve used iTunes for. And for managing your iPhone, you should be using the new apps. Not saying that they’re any good, but iTunes is certainly over.
