Well, thanks to everyone for putting up with my daily posts and giving me some new stuff to listen to! Sharing music is the best.

Update! Ultimately, we all just want to share music we love and talk about it. Please don’t feel restricted by physical media. Share what you want!

Over in the vinyl sub at the Bad Place, u/Folk_nurse had been doing a Vinyl Tunes for June thing. When the blackout started, I kept adding to my own list each day, and I’d love to carry on with you all. Below is the calendar, I’ll start a thread each day.

The point is just to get us all looking at our physical collections and sharing music.

And seriously… ALL credit and thanks go to folk_nurse. I’m just not headed back there.

Update! We're just here to share and discuss music. Don't feel obligated to adhere to the physical format rule.

What's currently the best Lemmy app for Android? by rancidity9480 in c/technology@beehaw.org
[-] rancidity9480@beehaw.org 28 points 1 year ago

I'll put my thoughts on this post as it showed up as I scrolled to get to the one from a day or two ago...I have 5 different Lemmy apps installed right now. Figure that there is going to be a lot of experimentation and work being done right now, so it's nice to see what everyone is doing.

  • Jerboa - Personally, I really like Jerboa. Being the most mature of the bunch shows. It's well laid out, has just enough UI options, and works. Except that now Beehaw isn't on v0.18.

  • Connect - Not open source at this time, I get why that matters to people, but not a deal breaker for me. Typing this comment in Connect. Just updated this morning with additional and redesigned settings. There is about a thumbs width of space between this comment box and my keyboard. That's kind of yucky.

  • Liftoff - I'm hopeful for this one. It LOOKS the best to me, but there's some weird UX issues. Biggest being that the only place to see your replies/notifications is the top of the Home feed with no quick way to get there if you've been scrolling.

  • Thunder - I can see the potential, but it's not for me right now. No buttons on comments, you have to use swipe gestures. But posts have buttons. Changing UI options doesn't actually change anything 95% of the time.

  • Summit - You want a zero frills, dark mode way of browsing and interacting? This is that. I'd love a FEW options (like light mode), but it's fast and easy. Uhh...just realized I can't find a way to make a new post...

  • Wefwef.app - Last one. Really slick looking and responsive, but too iOS-y for me. It also claims to have light mode, but I can't figure out how to switch it. Really polished though.

Last week. My day is wrong on the image. Confused the heck out of myself. This is not my favorite prompt, personally. But still a nice way to think about your collection.

Am I bugging anyone with these? Not trying to spam the group, just start some conversation!

Maybe an inaccurate interpretation of what's on the calendar, but I'm pretty sure this is what it's getting at.

Better alternative to Jerboa by rancidity9480 in c/technology@beehaw.org
[-] rancidity9480@beehaw.org 2 points 1 year ago

I really dislike the theming and buttons at the top of the page on Lemmy mobile. The tildes theme is better, but some of those targets are pretty tiny for my not real large hands. Jerboa uses my system colors and allows for a little customization.

Every now and then I do find myself needing to leave the app to do or find something on the actual site, but it's mostly been good for me so far.

I am working on a new lemmy app for iOS and Android, here's my current progress by rancidity9480 in c/programming@beehaw.org
[-] rancidity9480@beehaw.org 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I like going the lemming related route...

  • Lemmini
  • Lagurus
  • Muskrat

Or in a different direction: Lemmyn. With a yellow citrus 🍋 logo.

Also, Infinity was my most recent Reddit app of choice. I miss it. Really looking forward to testing yours out.

What are you reading? (June 2023) by rancidity9480 in c/literature@beehaw.org
[-] rancidity9480@beehaw.org 2 points 1 year ago

Yeah, I'm not sure what isn't connecting with me. You know how when you try to get into an early, influential work - be it a book, movie, whatever - you see the origin of all kinds of tropes and you KNOW this thing came first, but you can't get over the tropiness of some things? I think that's kind of what it is.

I'm determined to finish it this week though, I need to move on to other things.

VT4J23 - Day 18 - A song you think Beehaw hasn't heard before by rancidity9480 in c/music@beehaw.org
[-] rancidity9480@beehaw.org 2 points 1 year ago

That's a really beautiful song, thanks! And something I NEVER would have heard otherwise.

I really appreciate the write up actuall! I went and read her wikipedia entry afterward. Sounds like quite a career.

What are some of the more "creative" covers versions you've heard? by rancidity9480 in c/music@beehaw.org

FNM's cover of Easy is fantastic. It's a pretty straight cover, but Patton sells it.

Why do most reddit alternatives end up becoming shit shows? by rancidity9480 in c/chat@beehaw.org
[-] rancidity9480@beehaw.org 3 points 1 year ago

Many people are leaving Rome expecting to arrive in Carthage.

Now I'm thinking about Reddit as England and the Fediverse as North America and wondering what the world would be like if people decided "Shit, this is nothing like home and it's too hard. I'm going back."

Native culture would have thrived. Those who came and made the effort to integrate would have been welcomed and found a place. And maybe the real treasure would be the friends they made along the way.

Instance for Literature/Books specific communities? by rancidity9480 in c/literature@beehaw.org
[-] rancidity9480@beehaw.org 5 points 1 year ago

I had spun up a Lemmy instance a few weeks ago with a focus on only books, music, movies/tv, and games. There are enough general use instances.

I'm currently the only user and even I haven't been posting. 🫢 I'd be happy to open it up if people want.

Weekly Release Thread - Week of June 16th by rancidity9480 in c/music@beehaw.org

Holy smokes! What an incredible project. Thanks so much for sharing. This should keep me busy for a while. While there are plenty of bands I know, there are just as many there that I don't, and that's maybe more exciting.

What’s everyone playing this weekend? by rancidity9480 in c/gaming@beehaw.org

AC Odyssey is so beautiful. I still have to finish the Atlantis DLC at some point. I ran into an annoying bug that was blocking me.

I've been thinking about reinstalling Fallout 4 this weekend to play through Far Harbor and work on settlements.

But I'll more than likely just play Chrono Trigger and Cave Noire for a while and that will be it.

MDJ is not fun at all. The pacing is horrible, the NPCs are annoying and bland, and the puzzles are either super simple or literally impossible given the tools at your disposal.
