Well, they also still bought CD's they liked back then. Usually their favourite bands, or whatever. Even in the Napster/LimeWire days when everyone was doing it they always still seemed to buy their favourite artist's new CD's when they came out.

I am truly happy to see this as well.

As a woman who’s been extremely successfully poly for almost a decade, I feel like I fight against the grain whenever I am able to explain how well it works for myself and the other women I’m with…with various relationship styles in there.

It’s sad how skeptical and dismissive folks are, and how unwilling they are to see how it can work for some, but not all.

The lessons of radical honesty and communication skills that come from practicing polyamory can improve monogamous relationships as well. I feel it’s just too challenging for some.

Yeah, I need a phone that can run Apple's GarageBand, (easily my most-used app; hundreds and hundreds of hours, and as I use Logic to create music at home and have for 15+ years, I can open up these iPhone-created files at home, establishing a workflow Ableton, for instance, has completely failed to replicate) - ideally uses iMessage so I can more easily communicate with my romantic partners who both use it; and can run a browser of my choice. I'd also like it to work with my Apple Watch. Any non-iPhone recommendations?

Strange, on my M2 MacBook Pro this still absolutely crawls. I thought it was my personal (intel) MacBook Pro, but it's still extremely slow on my M2. Looks amazing, but definitely requires a massive performance improvement before it's useful. Keep at it! :)

edit: chrome btw

I say this to all the artists who attack the very existence of AI. The cat's out of the bag already, we're either going to move with the times or they will keep moving without us, as they always have.

I wasn’t attractive or athletic in high school, I spent all my time obsessed with programming, from basically grade 5 onwards; it didn’t make me popular and I not only didn’t fit in but was regularly bullied.

It’s turned into a fantastic career and the resilience I gained from being bullied made me a stronger and kinder person growing up.

Wouldn’t wish it on anyone, but long term I would say it personally did not harm me.

>> Why insist on doing this inside a terminal, when there are many other environments where this is not a problem?

Welcome to HN, where we make overcomplicated; obscure projects for the sheer passion and curiosity of it.

Is this your first day? XD

Couldn’t this application theoretically support MIDI input? I haven’t looked to see if it does, but if it does; velocity is a simple enough feature to implement with even just a simple volume curve.

One of my biggest pet peeves that frustrate me more about Open Source projects is this bizarre tendency not to put screenshots in the main description; especially for projects that are mainly UI/UX-based.

I realize there's a demo, but what if I'm on mobile and I'm just curious as to what the project looks like; or what if I just want to see what it looks like before I try it out?

Is it a nerd thing, where we're just kind of wrapped up so far in our own projects that we forget such a basic thing? Why does this happen so often? Genuinely asking.

Oh; you can easily buy a new third party one from Amazon for dirt cheap I’m sure.

Once you get that going, there’s a Bluetooth patch for PS4 controllers, IIRC. :)

Absolutely bizarre. My experience in Toronto buying an Apple Watch on an extremely busy day was 5-10min in and out and there was no attempt to ‘fit’ me.

Told them what they wanted, they went back and got it, they brought a POS so I could pay, I was easily out of there in 10min.

Never had any issues like this whatsoever in more than a decade of shopping at these stores?

>> fringe groups want to deprive them of it

I’d hardly call extremist right-wing Christians a ‘fringe group’, as much as I think most people wish they were...

‘Terrorist group’? Sure. Spot on. ‘Fringe’? Sadly not at all.

Look at the ongoing trans genocide as another example as to how big and how powerful these truly hate-filled people are.

EDIT: saw a disgusting uneducated dead comment below here saying it’s offensive to call the very real trans genocide a ‘genocide’ to others because I guess they’ve either done no research or are more likely just transphobic.

It’s sad to see even in usually amazing communities like this; that the denial of the trans genocide continues.

We can’t begin to fix a problem, before we acknowledge the problem exists, and this isn’t a deniable or debatable issue - it’s happening. Let’s not be ignorant hateful cretins by denying it. Please.

That’s great because nobody who is having an abortion is killing babies! :)
