  • In the 80’s (I’m that old), many home computers came with the programming manual, and the impetus was to learn to code and run your programs on your own device. Even with Android it’s not especially hard (with LLM’s even less so than it used to be) to download Android Studio, throw some shit onto the screen, hit build, and run your own helper app or whatever sideloaded installed via usb cable (or wirelessly) on your own device.

    In certain cases (cars, health related hw etc.) I get why it’s probably for the best if the user is not supposed to mod their device outside preinstalled sw’s preferences/settings. But when it comes to computers (i.e. smartphones, laptops, tablets, tv boxes etc.) I fully agree with Cory here. Such a shame everything must go to shit.

    If I were your uncle, I would have. (Great bands, both of them.) In truth, the weight of history just gets heavier all the time with new great bands coming along as we type. I bet it wasn’t as bad when the Sonics, the VU or the 13th Floor Elevators roamed the Earth…





  • On top of it being an irritatingly clingy earworm, with a refrain that when heard once feels like you’ve heard it a dozen times and every time you do it sounds more annoying than the previous time, it’s a song I’m glad doesn’t get played as much as during its heydey because it can make people physically sick, not to mention the mental side.
