I wanted a music player that was both ridiculous and "felt" like a proper Walkman (Player view)...with accurately moving spools, working buttons at the top of the Walkman that control the functions (ff/rewind, toggle fn to change it to <>) Yes, your keyboard media keys controls work.
I am aiming to be as pure to a cassette deck as I can get it. That means no playlists, no cloud, local music and manual selections from the Music Rack like the rock gods intended. 🤘🎧 (Edit) Updated Walkman view.
💯x💯 for me
I should be ashamed for laughing so hard, but alas, I just laughed harder as it hits home with some of my own family members.

Told Steven I was stealing this, but he's shared it here. Even better 😁
Oh, one more thing...😎
Earlier today I was standing in line at the checkout, getting groceries.
I overheard two teenagers discussing the finer points of...and I wish I was kidding, getting Shazam to ID the passing of gas as a song title.
Now being a man of the world, I can think of a few musical genres that might be easy wins for their self-assigned task. Regardless of title.
But how does one decide this is a worthwhile endeavor? 🤔
Think I'm ready for the fall season of Network television. Looking forward to it. Looks like it's going to be quite a lineup.
I'm still mentally unpacking this one. John and I used to exchange occasional emails over Linux in the press. Mostly me trolling. But he ALWAYS replied and I respected his position on tech related issues. This one stings...
Leaving this quote here. It's an oldie.
"In all large corporations, there is a pervasive fear that someone, somewhere is having fun with a computer on company time. Networks help alleviate that fear."
- John C. Dvorak -
As I've seen people confused about this.
Yes, the chassis and the keyboard can support older standard Framework 13 non-pro.
Quote: "Compatible with both the Framework Laptop 13 and Framework Laptop 13 Pro."

Register your interest, folks. If this is what you want. #Linux #Framework
I need to make a few tweaks before I source code this. However, did this with Iced on Rust via NixOS. Just for fun as it sparks joy.
Rationale: MP3 music players are...well, kind of generic. So, I wanted something weird, 80s and MINE. Plus, I miss tapes and the Walkman - so I brought it to life.
Senior remote online wellfare check for browser history. @UniversalBlue@fosstodon.org Bluefin, @tailscale@hachyderm.io Tailscale, SSH in (user), brew install sqlite, then run the following assuming your parent is running Chrome:
cp ~/.var/app/com.google.Chrome/config/google-chrome/Default/History /tmp/chrome_history
sqlite3 /tmp/chrome_history "SELECT datetime(last_visit_time/1000000-11644473600, 'unixepoch', 'localtime') AS 'Time', url FROM urls ORDER BY last_visit_time DESC LIMIT 20;"

First, yes, someone on Reddit made this with AI. The video's message is still valid. How it was made is more irony than anything.
The theme is based in the '90s and they're looking to the Future. They're looking at things that are just foreign concepts to them and I find that interesting and find myself reflecting on that.
I'm a '80s Gen X kid, and this video is more targeted toward millennials, but the point that this video makes is spot on.

Today's lesson in security.
Dead drop, paper, fire. Stuff sent into the ether regardless of how is just waiting for stuff like this.
Anything else is just "security theater" IMHO.
I wish I could say I was surprised about this report. But, here we are. Signal is more secure, yes. But NOTHING is bullet proof.

@bladecoder@androiddev.social @frameworkcomputer@fosstodon.org Going to answer on my own personal account. It's very good. The Ubuntu experience is absolutely shocking and I am a Fedora-based user myself.
I would say it is WELL within the ballpark. I will say I can use my battery all day and not think about it at all into the night. It is a great machine, honestly.
Just ran what my Google maps walk tells me is roughly two miles trying to catch a scared, lose dog. We're talking Ferris Bueller fence jumping, leaping through yards.
Myself and another person carefully tracked the dog and lost it finally.
We came close a few times, but dog was skiddish.
Dog capture FAILED, but, pretty sure I sold her on the idea of Framework as we walked back many blocks. Oh, I didn't have time for socks or shoes. Slip-ons and no socks. Soaking my feet now.

Folks, parents especially, now is your time. Please send stories to Carl. This is so, so very important! 🙏

@RobertoArchimboldi Longer term, slowly, carefully work with smarter people than me to begin filling in the missing tech stack to accomplish what you describe plus other missing elements.
That said, thank you for this. Seeing your note makes this effort worthwhile. (cont)

@rasmus91@fosstodon.org @falken@qoto.org @codemonkeymike@fosstodon.org @jfro@social.lol @frameworkcomputer@fosstodon.org This is going to be possible - chassis requires the new keyboard,as it's a new product line. As with other product lines, we support it ongoing of course.
So old mainbboard, this chassis.
Folks need to be registering one's interest.

@RobertoArchimboldi That said, the Linux landscape is spattered with a number of solutions (one of which is used here for a plugin)
All that said, the biggest challenge is the lower level stack matching overall functionality.
I have been fighting for Linux users for 20+ years - literally. (cont)
Replying to
@RobertoArchimboldi I am pretty good with impossible or difficult, but, I need time to understand the landscape, what is mature, what needs lower level dev help, etc.
The immediate plan for EasySpeak is dialing it in, smoothing the rough edges, fine tuning functionality with the plugins (like transcription which is still rough). (cont)

@carlrichell Okay, now that's just awesome 😎 Seriously, well done folks. 😀
I'm not going to give away too much info, but I will say this.
Document format compliance. Let's just say proprietary software, fails badly at this. Think permits. Think local government documentation rejection rates. You're welcome.
We have local projects that we're working on here at the house and we discovered that I was able to streamline stuff by doing it myself whereas some of the big firms apparently as I was told by a clerk fail often.

@kev@fosstodon.org I myself will be in Monday if my agents can't find the ticket, but it should be easy enough with the email used.

@tgpo speaking to someone with a Roku ultra (4800x). Currently looking at software version 15.1.4, thank you. Thank you for supporting my Roku, it's appreciated.
You guys providing a jellyfin app to Roku literally makes Roku worth having for me. 🙏
