Who TF is Thora Hird?
I’m sure all that will happen is they’ll change the label to say “pistachio flavored ice cream” lol
So now instead of “we have an algorithm to suggest what you might like” it’s turning into “you’ll watch what we tell you and like it, and good luck trying to find anything else”
Is anyone surprised by this? He’s spent basically the last 8 years training his cult members to commit homicide anytime they are even mildly inconvenienced…
I’m sure next on the docket will be a bill to ensure any childless women over the age of 20 are kidnapped and impregnated by the state.
That’s republicans for you though, determined to ensure any and all women remain barefoot and pregnant at all times
I had never heard of a “sheepfold” before so I looked it up. A sheepfold is just like a sheep pen. Like without a roof and usually just a few feet high. Either the article used the word incorrectly or there is a ton they are leaving out here. Maybe it had something to do with his captors magic spell?
I usually just use the crop feature to zoom in on the picture after I take it and just select the part I wanted. Seems to work pretty well. I have a Motorola that wasn’t particularly expensive.
It sort of defeats the whole purpose of having a camera on your phone if you still have to carry around a camera bag full of lenses though doesn’t it?
Yeah but who wants to carry around a case of lenses for just taking random snapshots on their phone?
It looks like it’s applying some kind of sharpness adjustment to the zoom. Maybe that’s like an “auto enhance” feature you can turn off?
They look like they just came from Bible study lol
I see the confusion here… You think playing music is something one does to get fame and money. What you’re describing is a content creator, in which case I can see why having an overpriced toy that makes songs for you would be appealing.
For the record I have, in fact, played for a number of audiences and even recorded several albums with various bands that I’ve been in over the years. I’m sure you wouldn’t have heard any of them because they never really made it beyond the local scene. I’m perfectly fine with that though, because I didn’t make them to be famous. I made them because I enjoy the creative process involved in songwriting and performance, because I’m a musician.
Ah, just going straight into troll mode now huh? That’s too bad, I was enjoying our conversation…
I have been playing guitar for nearly 20 years. My family has never been rich, which meant I got the most affordable guitar available (which cost MUCH less than an iPad even accounting for inflation) when I started.
I knew absolutely nothing about how to play it and taught myself for the first year from stuff I found in magazines. When it became apparent that I wasn’t going to just abandon the thing in the closet my parents agreed to get me lessons for this costly sum of $25 a week.
Since then I have have scrimped and saved to get nicer instruments when I could afford them, and they mean a lot to me so I take care of them and play them often.
When making music becomes reduced to a game from WHICHEVER app store, it loses all meaning because there is zero invested in it. I’m sure there will be a few people who actually manage to make real music this way despite the limitations, but for most people it will just be a toy they lose interest in like Candy Crush or something.
If it were easy to play decent music then everyone in the world would have a top 10 hit
So the solution to that is to only make paint-by-numbers music that Apple will allow you to make with their pre approved apps? That sounds like a good way to end up with a lot of mediocre easily digestible music that all sounds the same…
Ignoring things like this is how we’ve ended up with an entire generation of people who Apple thinks are either too lazy or too stupid to create art or music on their own.
Note that I am not calling anyone lazy or stupid, I’m just stating Apple thinks this is a desirable outcome and is pushing forward with that plan
Do you really think Hitler wouldn’t have started WW2 if someone had punched him in the face? Would that have actually changed anything?
You still keep ignoring the biggest point here, who dictates who is a racist and deserves punishment? If someone thinks that you’re prejudiced against them then is it fine for that person to punch you in the face?
Who cares about owning a home as long as you’re pretending to have enough fun to make your Instagram feed look like you’re enjoying yourself?
This feels like a plot to convince someone that living in your car is somehow a good thing lol
Right, because licensed medical providers so often practice healthcare out of an old drink cooler in the parking lot at the mall lol
