@Tho99 well yes there’s that.

@amerpie one of the best .. except on the tv show when they closed with that ‘accelerating climatic orchestra’.
@hjalm oh yes - old enough to admit I had one myself - but never to stack LPs - only singles. I mean mine would do it - but for me - the idea of dropping 12 inches of vinyl onto another 12 inches of rotating vinyl was simply not something I could bring myself to do.
Or are you saying there was a special one designed to handle LPs size and weight?
🤯 … and this was the second paragraph …
> The San Francisco maker of wool sneakers, once valued at more than $4 billion, sold its brand and intellectual property last month to brand management company American Exchange Group for $39 million. The stock had fallen more than 99 percent since its 2021 Nasdaq IPO. And then it decided to pivot to AI compute infrastructure, with a new name: NewBird AI.
> 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❗️
