> my Mom would stack LPs on the record player
LPs ? I know it is possible .. but not in our house. Singles .. yes. Never Albums. Maybe because albums I listened to were complete epics (I was young) … but also the sheer weight of the vinyl .. and the damage …
@manton Yup .. and I didn’t even read it …
> After 16,000 words it would seem that the answer whether Sam can be trusted sepends on who you ask. Caveat … not read it .. but listened to the Hard Fork interview.
@MitchWagner I am interested in it and what @dave is doing with it - and future possibilities.
In all honesty I do not like the UI side - but for a technologist I don’t believe that is - or at least should be an issue - and one day Claude and I will sit down and have a better look - just no time that goes that far down the priority list.
That said friend of many and author of 🔗 The WONDERFUL Micro Blog Glossary Plugin Mr. @AndySylvester has just announced that he has newly found spare time for ‘interesting projects’ - so maybe we can explore this when we next talk .. Andy❓
Why is it different? Because to me - it is not just a reader - it provides an informed view of who is reading the feeds - so you can get a sense of popularity of blogs and maybe - with some jiggery - a sense of authoritative blogs - which I don’t see high on Dave’s dev list - but I can visualise - but first job - a much improved interface is needed.
(Coincidentally - this also segues into a product that PHI⑊PIN is developing and will shortly be making an appearance on a few sites down here in New Zealand - more of that to come in future missives.
@MitchWagner 💯 and it gets worse. I keep any and all feeds that I know about of my sites in a folder so I can see if anything breaks .. for John.philpin I have three ..
The confusion is worse when it comes to feed aggregation .. eg in feedland Dave tells you how many others in his world are subscribed to a particular feed … I am one of a couple that follow daring fireball for example .. elsewhere there are 60 or so followers .. not even @dave can aggregate this stuff .. and he invented RSS❗️
@amerpie nothing wrong with me then our musical tastes seems to be one of those perfect Venn diagrams … before the data arrives.
Joking aside .. it could have been different.
@crankreport you had me at ‘devilled’ and then lost me at ‘beet’
@hollyhoneychurch so temperature wasn’t the driver .. in Loch Lomond ……. Makes a note.
@devilgate I found it an interesting piece .. i am not steeped in the genesis of the prayer .. so thought nothing of it .. and then you raised it .. which got me to thinking if it was yet another example of a perfectly good meaning being flipped on its head for no reason.
