For basically as long as they’ve been around, I’ve mostly dismissed the Murphys as “too Boston” (which, in this sense, means dickish Boston Irish). But these last few years have really shown me I was just an idiot and they are exactly the kind of Boston Irish I want around.

Man, little me living in a house where most music was The Beatles, Bob Marley, Carole King, and James Taylor thought this was the scariest, rockingest shit ever.

I’ve been using Tusky for the last couple of years, but decided to give OpenVibe another go to keep Mastodon and Bluesky in one place.

OpenVibe is alright. Next to no customization, a little slow to load when first opening, and the scrolling animation is…I’m not even sure how to describe it. Artificial? It almost looks laggy even though it’s responsive.

That’s not a terrible idea. I do the same with Christmas music and have been considering a separate library for live stuff as well.

I understand recommendations, but I don’t want anything just auto inserting music into my library. I curate my library. I want to intentionally add to it. Half the joy in finding new artists is whatever led you to that moment.

This might just be an old man talking though.

Yeah. The list should be in the site config. Go ahead and include those as defaults to block, but allow sites to override that.

OP, are you saying that the federation is blocked on the OUTGOING side? Because then that just seems bass ackwards.

Pixel? That and the call screening have been huge since I moved over this year.

I’ve spent way too much time on Cloverpit this week. And a little bit of Paper Mario TTYD on Switch - finally getting around to playing the remake of one of my all time favorite games.

Oh, I agree. The Frenchish version just wasn’t around me growing up.

Maybe it’s partly regional, but growing up it was always “nitch”. Like “Tom has really found his (nitch).” It only seems to have been making the transition to “neesh” in the last 10 years or so and it still sounds off to me.

With a hard K?

Thank you for memeing with the proper pronunciation of “niche”.

So do you have just a bunch of random boolean tags? The Genre tag can hold multiple values, so you could have “Classical;Relaxing;String Quartet;Suites” if you wanted and each is identified separately.

Thanks! Definitely going to spend some time with the media managers this weekend. Replacing 4 separate-but-connected-or-related apps into one would be amazing.

IDK. I was just admitting we are a nation of idiots.

My wife is a pretty even keeled person. Tenet made her visibly angry and to this day, I have to consider her current mood before I mention it.

We also don’t math too gooder.

Capy Reader - RSS reader. Not only a cute capybara icon, but a really nice reader with regular updates.

Respect. You certainly don’t see this everyday.

It’s fine. The White House says:

Federal hiring, promotions, and performance reviews will reward individual initiative, skills, performance, and hard work

So there’s no way he could be unqualified.
