But the iPod also isn’t around anymore.

That wasn’t really the thesis statement of the piece.

The piece primarily talked about out the listening experience. It’s a focused experience without notifications, listening is more intentional and curated (not controlled by algos), it’s nostalgic, and modding iPods it pretty fun.

Yeah, the recipient mentioned this was for a review video. Now he’s getting a review video + this.

That’s tech blogger was probably thinking “what the fuck, I need to return this piece of shit… wait. This would be a great video.”

The US is so fucked. People are not going to give the bully their lunch money. They’re going to team up against the bully.

I’ll go to whatever is the better experience for healthy online communities. Lemmy scratches an itch now, but there is definitely room for improvement.

It’s still hard for small niche community to gain traction here, the mod tools don’t scale for beans, and onboarding into an instance is still a big barrier for too many people.

This article is click bate written to hook on to the buzz / drama around Apple intelligence.

This feature is almost 20 years old. Visual Voicemail was one of the early “holy shit” features that the first iPhone launched with.

I’m sure the model has changed a lot in 2 decades, but weird voicemail transcriptions are not new. We’ve all experienced these for decades.

Primary ALL OF THEM!

I’m not holding my breath for Fresno CA voting for someone more progressive than Costa. I’m kind of surprised that the Dems are actually holding on to that seat.

Sure, but it’s a public benefit company.

I use both. Unfortunately, normal people still seem to struggle with instances / servers, which keeps masto’s user base lower. I’m not surprised Bsky is growing much faster these days. Too many people get confused during masto’s sign up / sign in flow. Ditto for Lemmy.

The new app is called Phoenix, and it is a Bluesky client that is expected to launch in the summer of 2025

Where we’re really going is, a year, year and a half from now, is when you come to Digg, it’s going to be very much more like the leap that happened to Figma, where it’s free form, it’s dynamic, it’s an interface that is unlike any other that you’ve seen,” says Rose. “It’s not your old-school forums

Umm. Figma’s UI is exactly something people saw before. It’s aggressively based on Sketch’s UI.

Figma blew up because it was free for non-enterprise use, had Invision-style prototyping built-in, it was a more performant than Sketch, and they were adding features faster than Sketch could.

And FigJam is just a Miro / Mural clone. But that is also very performant, and they had some silly features / plugins that made work fun.

Both have pee tapes.

“Why aren’t you wearing a suit?”

Motherfucker, I’m coming from a war zone.

Many people commuting in the Bay Area… “My Telsa.”

I mean, I was all into Master of Puppets era Metallica, but that doesn’t mean I had to like Load and beyond.

Things change. That’s life.

The flooding is going to come anyway. JC should just play video games and let humans continue melting the ice caps.

That pee tape must be fucking bonkers.

Up next in Utah, higher dental insurance premiums, copays, and deductibles.

Insurance companies will still collect it since they need to pay out for a lot of this shit. We’ll also be able to quantify this impact by looking at dental premiums and copays. They’ll eventually go up in states without fluoridated water.

This author should’ve spent digging into the iPhone 12 / 13 mini, and how it was received in Apple communities a few years ago.

That experiment really showed that the small phone demographic is passionate and vocal, but small (no pun intended). Those phones sold well when the small-phone-fans ran out to buy them, but the sales numbers cooled off quick.

Given that Apple is working on a lightweight 17 “air” phone, my guess is that they learned screen size is too important for too many people, but they’re going to see if they can strike a middle ground with weight / pocket fit.
