Reddit refugee, RIP Apollo 7/1/2023. I laugh at comedy and love love.
Old iPods are coming into fashion because even younger folks are wanting something like this.
I would consider buying a refurbished iPod classic on eBay. Simple and elegant. User friendly. Do you really need the Bluetooth part?
In saying we are here I’m not saying we are succeeding…I’m saying we’re trying
Same is true about Reddit but we all here
YouTube is so horrible now I hope it’s reaching the tipping point where even non tech people may get sick of it and look elsewhere. There is no reason to have ONE giant main fucking video site and that’s it for most of the English speaking world. I need to look up how to do grout…or open this smoke detector…or beat this video game…no reason that all these videos cannot be hosted via other websites or just self hosted with the affordability of bandwidth. I’ve loved most of what google has done for a long time and they won the browser wars, crushed Mapquest, destroyed hotmail and yahoo mail…now everything is turning to shit. Google search all but refuses to find what you’re searching for. 15 second video…30 second ad. No.
I don’t know if federation is the answer but YouTube being ubiquitous for internet video has got to go.
Weren’t what?
I have a few feelings about it. First, I’m an average middle-aged middle-class straight white cisgendered male and the TikTok algorithm feeds me tons of stuff that is very pro feminism, pro trans rights, anti racist, pro labor. In a very touching and uplifting way a lot of times, actually. I’m a boring person but VERY passionate about these socially liberal issues and it gives me what I want and need to feel like a force of good, keep up with social issues, stay involved in some way feel passionate. My TikTok feed is woke as shit and good for me. I simply don’t see this on Facebook, YouTube and all the rest. I don’t see it. Of course everyone’s algorithm is different…
So maybe TikTok uses my attention for evil…data harvesting, influencing, hacking…I don’t know. I don’t trust china any more or less than most people. But how much do we trust meta, Google, Apple, Microsoft etc? I don’t particularly.
I may just be naive…but I do see a lot of good things that TikTok does, as dumb as it sounds.
Why is it necessary to post this to so many different cimmunities?
Hmm…interesting. I didn’t know Chrome was smart enough to use less ram if the system is taxed. Figured it just always used a shit ton…which sucks if you’re editing videos or something and need to open a browser or something.
Exactly, should a web browser need to be a complete operating system, or can it just show you the damn internet? Feeling like a cranky old man here
I’ve loved Chrome (on windows) for many years but at this point when you open task manager it’s practically using up more resources than the operating system. Because it is. It’s essentially like running a second operating system…
New posts on MS teams seem to have a different font today unless it’s my imagination. The old ones have the old font. Anyone else see this?
Yup
Never thought about that part. Piracy…you wouldn’t download a seat warmer, would you?
Yeah but someday they’ll put them in real cars. BMWs are for assholes
I think freemium car features are coming. Such as, car comes with all luxury features but have to subscribe to access them. Heated seats, dashcam, power doors…you better have that premium subscription or they don’t work.
Everything in this thread and the question is verrry subjective 😂
Feel like BMW’s always drive 5-10 mph under the speed limit in an inexplicably infuriating way
My daughter is 15 and you’re exactly right. Demographic wise…who do guy think the target audience for threads is and how is meta going to stay in business if Gen Z uses NONE of their apps?
Are you wanting to put songs in wav or flaac Format or something? I feel like a decently size used iPod wouldn’t be a whole lot more than $100 and 100 GB could hold 10,000 songs in high-quality 320 kB/s or so.
It sounds like you’re trying to build an iPod classic with Bluetooth
I DJ weddings for about 10 years and literally had my entire entire DJ library backed up on one
