"We Built This City" is awful.

I have a special hate for Kenny G's horrifying abomination where he pretends to have a duet with the great Louis Armstrong. Gah

yeah I'm glad servo exists, but its far from ready for prime time.

What's crazy is what a monumental undertaking implementing a web browser is now. Would love to see someone propose a new standard to replace html-css-js but distilled down to a radically simplified essence, dropping the accumulated cruft of decades, applying lessons learned. Ideally would be something that could be implemented by a few devs over months rather than requiring a team of hundreds over a decade.

There's no such thing as a "dating league". People are selective, but the nature of that selectivity depends on the individual. For some social status is of primary importance. If you don't boost their social status they'll move on. For others, its do you get along, do your personalities mesh well. For others, its life goals - want kids yesterday, or don't want any ever? For others, its dating someone who is self supporting and not an abusive psycho. It can feel like a rigid classification if a lot of girls seem to have similar values.

Love it. No connection to the internet except when you choose to, through your phone. Analog controls. Frickin roll up windows!

My only beef with the current concept is the bolt on body panels and other parts. Too easy to steal. Could replace those bolts with security bolts, if they aren't already, but that just discourages the casuals.

nix can deal with this kind of problem. Does take disk space if you're going to have radically different deps for different apps. But you can 100% install firefox from 4 years ago and new firefox on the same system and they each have the deps they need.

the one where the democrats are the 'party of slavery' because of what the parties stood for in 1860. yeah that's why I'm voting for Lincoln and the union this year dumbfucks

27.87 + 2.79 + 2.79 + 3.08 = 36.53.

Cool version of Old Joe Clark. That bluesy note! Regular melody gets played a bit too.

I like this approach of having a model locally and running it locally. I've been using the firefox website translator and its great. Handy and it doesn't send my data to google. That I know of, ha.

Now try it with maps off, see if google still tracks them.

I saw Get Out without knowing anything about it. Very effective movie if you were expecting a romantic comedy like Meet the Parents, lol. If I'd seen a trailer I wouldn't have been nearly as blindsided by the horror turn of events.

I'm looking for an audio app for learning tunes by ear. Ideally would have:

1- slow playback, without adjusting pitch.
2- loop selection - to play a segment of the audio over and over
3- pitch adjustment (some old recordings are out of tune)

Anyone have one they like? For android the closest I've found is Fossify music player, which offers feature 1.

For PC, audacity has all these features, but its pretty clunky to use.

I still don't know how to find people with similar interests on mastodon. There may be lots of interesting stuff happening there but how would I know? Plus posting on there feels like shouting into the void since I only have a handful of followers.

Just missed a meeting today because I accepted an event on Thunderbird this morning, that should have synced to Nextcloud, and then to my phone running a calendar app from 'simplemobiletools'. Never made it. After I missed the meeting I didn't see the event on nextcloud, then went to look at the event on thunderbird, and now lo and behold its on nextcloud, two hours after it was over. Cool. Still not on the phone.

Anyone have a solid calendar stack they like? I'd like to reliably get from emailed invite to alert on my phone.

I've just been using the audio player on ES File Explorer. It tends to forget all its state and has various other UI problems.

I'm interested in an audio player that will keep playlists for me, and remembers its state so I can resume playback. My main use case is to cue up podcasts for driving, so I want it to save my place when I don't finish listening to a whole episode during my drive. Saving my place in multiple playlists would be great too, like an audiobook and a series of podcast episodes would both have saved state so I could switch between them.

Ideally it would also activate playback whenever the phone connects to a particular bluetooth device - my car audio. The use case is I hop in the car, turn on my bluetooth receiver, and audio resumes without me needing to take the phone out of my pocket. Turn off bluetooth, playback stops.

Is there a term for that phenomenon where someone gets so far into a topic that they become unaware of how much contextual knowledge they have about it?

Then they write some inscrutable technical docs, use unexplained acronyms, or tell a story about “he”, "she’ and/or “they” where you have no idea who they’re talking about.

I miss RPAN! I could connect with my phone and stream any time, and there would be viewers, if only a few at times. Sometimes a lot though. It was great practice playing for an audience. Lots of great feedback and interactions, helped get me through the pandemic.

What's out there in the fediverse that's similar, if anything?

I'm on lemmy.ml, and I want to subscribe to https://lemmy.world/c/songaweek. There it says to put !songaweek@lemmy.world into search on my instance to subscribe, but it doesn't turn up anything. Anyone know why this might be, and/or how to work around it?
