> Aaaaand another tangent. I do that, lol.
Don't worry about it! I open the last reply and read all of them in correct order in the original thread.
I'm into longer posts myself, but have to split them into 500 character parts on this instance quite often — they do look like finished and self-sufficient replies most of the time, but in fact are longer ones split apart by skillful cutting and pasting 😁

@gordoooo_z
> 2 year warranty until 6 months later, exavtly one week after it expired
I always fall for this! Postponing it for later until it's too late 🤣

@gordoooo_z Oh, yes, I was thinking of switching to a dedicated DAP too. Phones no longer cut it — we have decent storage options, but they are removing the headphone jack now 🤷
It's odd how flagship phones are all about camera nowadays — the thing I could not care less about. On the other hand my cheapo midranger is perfect in this regard — having 256 Gb of internal storage, an SD slot and a wired headphones output. I'll keep using it while it lasts and then I'll see.

@gordoooo_z Yes, this! Also — concept albums, I always liked the idea, but streaming kinda killed it. When people were listening to albums on repeat they could get into the whole idea and songs they didn't like on first listen could grow on them — at least that's how it works for me. With streaming people listen only to particular songs/tracks they like without giving everything else and album as a whole a chance.

@gordoooo_z I don't like piracy too, but now I'm unable to pay for music so I have to resort to it — well, that mostly means saving albums from BandCamp using youtube-dl. I always preferred physical media until shipping to Russia became more expensive than the CDs themselves, then I started using BC for digital purchases, but now I can't do even that 😩
I'll buy the albums I kept later when I have the opportunity, so in a way I'm just saving traffic for BC now, downloading it instead of streaming

@gordoooo_z Despite having unlimited data plan almost all the time I never got into streaming 🤷
It's not audio quality or the internet connection requirement, I just somehow don't get it. I have a 200 Gb SD card in my phone filled mostly with music and most of the internal storage is used for audio too. This includes my extensive CD collection encoded to FLAC format. That's a lot of music for all possible moods, it never gets old 😁

It's OSS Weather, Arcticons didn't have an icon for it — I could easily replace it with another one of course but I thought, it being the only colored icon adds a nice touch 😄
Yes, labels look redundant, I don't have a lot of apps installed and I don't install new ones often, the ones I have are pleced in easy to remember order. If I want to find an app by name I use search anyway so why bother with labels?

@Binkle
Is it really mechanical? Does it have chroma lighting and 144 Hz rolling rate? 😆
@theorytoe

@caos
Nice! Arcticons are still the best!
I use a similar, even more minimalistic setup with NeoLauncher.
@ioletsgo

@marioguzman They've made an awful lot of bad design decisions since then, e.g. making Finder sidebar icons monochrome. Why did they do that, what was wrong with color coding? It was so much easier to navigate when the icons were colorful 🤷

I have a Samsung smart TV, but I never accepted that license agreement that I have to in order to install apps or use the voice assistant, I'm not logged into any services on it. It's networked though, has a nice built-in DLNA capability so I can watch movies from my file server, I can also hook external USB drive into it or my laptop using HDMI cable. Works for me 🤷

I'm not a hardcore vynil fan myself, I'm more of a CD type, but I still thought this would happen. I grew up when all three: vynils, CDs and cassettes, were in use, then MP3s appeared and I knew this will take over and vynils will stay as most aesthetically pleasing. Still prefer the CDs as you don't have to turn them over that often 🤣
Good point though! I think streaming is the worst in this regard, no toxic materials, but transmission needs more power.

@cyuu We used to call it post-rock, and they don't really suck at it, there definitely were worse bands 😹

@BBCWorld
> Vinyl records outsell CDs for first time in decades
Some didn't believe we would live to see this. I did!

@RustyCrab I'm using smart parsing techniques to filter out links to reddit 😁

@neural_meduza Если представить, что с каждым годом будет становиться всё «веселее и веселее», их можно понять.

@safiuddinkhan But can it run Doom? 🤔
Well, yeah. It most definitely can! 😂

@neural_meduza Оттепель ][. Как же сейчас не хватает таких новостей! 😩

@neural_meduza Оттепель! 😅
Хотя по погоде и не скажешь.
