I never stopped either, but i buy vinyl..slowed down since my turntable only spins at 33.3 in special occasions when the spirits shine upon it.
Who has read The Master Switch by Tim Wu? It's a great book and that essentially argues every mass communication medium started off as a decentralized playground for hobbyists before consolidating into a centralized profit seeking (or profit-seeking-enabling) entity. It the ends with the question of whether the same destiny awaits the internet.
I remember hoping it didn't, and that hope grows harder to maintain by the day. It's so fucking sad.
I just hope that even if this standard is implemented, the protocol maintains enough of it's flexibility for small enclaves of people who still believe in the technology's original vision to "opt out" of it.
Boo. This seems like the first step toward eventually locking down "side loading" like iOS does.
I spent most of my time on Reddit in the learn programming subs, so I'm glad at least that demographic has moved here. I'm almost 34, don't work in tech but want to, don't use Linux but want to (and if the rumors of windows adding ads to the OS are true I will switch to Linux full time except for gaming). I wasn't really that invested in the reddit API changes but I liked reddit when it was more under ground and wild west. I used to spend a lot of time on rcsources (those days are behind me regardless, though). So I wanted to see if there was still room on the internet for the outlaw tech cowboy shtick, and Lemmy stepped up to the plate.
Sorry I missed your call, luckily I noticed 5 seconds later so I could send this text message.
Please don't call again please don't call again please don't...
I love the lack of ads, but I suppose I could live with them as long as they were clearly distinguished from real user content. I hated those reddit ads that were from a reddit account and looked like just another post if you didn't pay attention to the flair.
Wow thank you so much that totally made my day
My main hobby since February has been learning how to program. I decided to start with python since it seemed to be the best way to focus on programming and not fighting the syntax. I've been following the 100 days of code course on Udemy and I love it. Right now I'm working on a project to scrape the bill board top 100 chart for a given day, then use the Spotify API to create a playlist from the scraped data.
I deleted the official Reddit app and have only gone to r/tildes to check to see if they're offering invites again. I do hope to see a community to match learnprogramming and learnpython show up here.
I have been playing around with tkinter in python and the idea of making a widget respond to the size of its content gives me cold sweats
I got my approval email, is the problem limited to denial notification?
That his initial view of his powers implications was flawed is central to his character. His entire moral philosophy is predicated on his feelings of guilt and regret for his selfish actions resulting in Uncle Bens death.
