We live in a time where live action adaptations of classic sci-fi literature are now possible - both technically and financially. But now TBH I find most of it super boring. Been trying to plow through that Foundation series and got to say it just doesn't hold my attention. Same with the William Gibson adaptation the Peripheral. I liked the books but just can't hang with the vids.
There is stuff I like but its rare. Arrival, Raised by Wolves, the Dune movies, a few others.
How shite is the band? If its shite enough, you're good enough lol.
Seriously tho, find you a jam situation if you can. For instance, bluegrass is a genre with a strong jam tradition. In my area there are public bluegrass jams where you can basically hang out and play rhythm, learn the tunes and watch other players. Usually there are enough people that there's always someone else to watch on guitar. Bluegrass leads are heinously difficult but rhythm playing isn't bad.
Some other folk genres that have jams: Irish, 'old time', gypsy jazz, regular jazz, blues, choro, cajun. Maybe there's something in your area.
that is the wrong mindset for a boycott. no amazon period from now until forever. if shows go under so much the better. take your show business elsewhere.
You don't have to replace the html web. If a new system was sufficiently fun to create with, people might use it for all kinds of cool new projects. Kind of like Flash used to be. You'd go there for a specific thing you heard about.
A new web free of cruft might turn out to be cheaper to develop for, and that might appeal to the corporate types. Maybe useful for intranet type apps where the browser is specified anyway and you have a captive audience.
Ok maybe off topic, why does a web browser have to be one of the most complicated software artifacts on earth? So expensive to write and maintain that only a few orgs with huge developer resources can do it?
What would it look like to start from scratch with a massively simplified standard for specifying UIs, based on all we've learned since html/css was invented? A standard that a few developers could implement in a few weeks using off the shelf libraries. Rather than reimplement every bizarre historical detail in html/css, have a new UI layout system that's simple and consistent, and perhaps more powerful.
Haven't looked at it in detail. I like F-Droid because the apps seem to be non-predatory OSS that gets the job done. Its not really a 'store' though. I think some apps have a paid Play Store release and a free F-Droid release, to make it easy to support the devs if you want.
I had a touchscreen laptop for years and only used the screen if the touchpad was broken for some reason. a touchscreen is just not ergonomic in laptop form. the yoga-style screen should make it much more useful.
my use case would be for occasionally reading music on a music stand, and to run an audio mixer with a tablet style interface.
