I think JBL did it and they’re a well established brand

I have a flip phone for a while now. A black line did form on the crease after ~6 months, but was replaced under warranty. No further problems since. I don’t use a case either and am rather clumsy.

The biggest upside to the design is reclaimed pocket space.

Everyone has accepted carrying a giant slab that takes up one pocket at all times. Manufacturers that attempt to make reasonable sized phones quickly abandon the idea because people don’t purchase them. Everyone says they’d love having a small phone, then buy something else when it’s time to spend money. Flip phones are the closest thing to a compromise we’ll get anymore.

Given that phones are cameras that just so happen to make phone calls and the industry continuously innovate backwards (headphone jack, micro sd expandable storage, removable batteries, physical sim trays, and potentially USB-C if Apple has their way), foldable screens are the first genuine innovation/progression.

I spent way too much time hunting down a Pilot Automac and finally got it. being stuck with anything here would be such a stark downgrade

this feels like an intro to a sick pico-8 game. well done!

I’ll also add that if you’re looking to replace the recommendation algorithm, you can use Last.FM, AOTY, RYM, or even Instagram (I follow a lot of artists and the recommended posts when I go to search something have actually been decent. really strange and perplexing)

Also, if you find any CDs you don’t care for anymore, see if you can donate them to your local library :)

So I recently terminated my Spotify subscription and moved my library to Jellyfin.

For my phone client, I use Symfonium. There are other options available (even FOSS options if you prefer), but I liked Symfonium’s UI the best. It also has a rolling offline cache setting that I find very useful. However, it does have a one time fee of 5 USD. But the client is completely up to your preference - no right choice.

If you care about Last.FM scrobbling, use something like Pano Scrobbler on your phone.

For desktop streaming, Jellyfin isn’t required. Use which ever media player you like best.

As for accessing your Jellyfin server outside your home network, Tailscale is an option. It was relatively easy to set up, even for someone who’s dumb with networking.

watermelon and salt is one of those things that sounds strange in theory, then you try it and you regret that you could ever think that way

That’s how I originally interpreted it. I thought the difference in shading was to signify she’s a ghost. Unfortunately, I guess that’s not the author’s intent.

I wish there were more spooky comics though :(

This explains a lot. I finished my fifth book of the year yesterday and now woke up with a headache.

I’ll need to do something dumb to counteract this immense knowledge.

how can i join the cloud squad? i would like to float across the sky all day and have friends

lisan al gaib?

In the before times, a firm handshake was indicative of a strong leader. Since the baby had a firmer handshake, they were instantly promoted.

If only it were that easy…
