@tylerknowsnothing.bsky.social I was born in ‘68 and grew up in the 70’s, but I didn’t really achieve my musical “birth” until the late 70’s and into the 80’s. LA had KLOS, KNAC, and KROQ, three highly influential radio stations during that era. KNAC is long gone and KLOS and KROQ are mere shadows of what they were, sadly.

@tylerknowsnothing.bsky.social Agreed. I still listen to much of the music I first heard on KROQ today. I’ve been posting what I’ve been listening to on my blog. I think I’ll do a series of my 80’s influences and favorites for a while :)

@Mtt That would be nice, but I just use the bookmarklet for now. I know it’s nowhere near as easy to float an extension for Safari as it is for FF or Chrome, which is annoying, but I also understand why they do it that way.

@Mtt Yeah. Same. Whilst I need some notifications, I don’t need all of the ones my watch supports (S6) so I go through the list and turn off everything I don’t need to hear from, then I got through all of my Background Processes list and turn off everything that doesn’t need to be running all the damned time. I get another 4-6 hours of battery life, and I just had mine replaced with a new battery with AppleCare+. Well worth it as I’ll get another 4-5 years out of it.

@manton No worries :) I went and looked up that coffee shop and it was just around the corner, too LOLZ. I had little hope you’d see it in time, though since I responded two hours after you posted. Knoxville is a great town, though. Glad you got to experience it :D

@manton I should have also mentioned that the sign on top of that building that you can see from the 40 was the sign for that restaurant 😁

@manton Swing by the corner of Gay and Magnolia just off the 40 and you’ll find Regas Square. My family’s restaurant sat on the space for 90 years. GO BIG ORANGE! 🍊😁

@manton I was born in Pasadena, CA., but my family roots are in Knoxville and I spent many years living there. And yes, Pigeon Forge is weird :) Gatlinburg, however, is spectacular and I’ll forever miss the Smokey’s. At least this time of year the weather should be nice!

@nebulacritter.bsky.social And sleepy!

@nebulacritter.bsky.social LOLZ. The blonde merman scoping out the snack tray 🤣

@scalzi.com Ha! Nerd!!

@manton Nice!

@nsmug Oooh! A video walkthrough of retro software? Well, whatever it turns out to be, I’m there for the Mac stuff :)

@toddgrotenhuis That’s true of pretty much everything. Nothing is new. It just takes a master who understands the materials and the medium to create something new and unique and iconic from things people think they know. I’m really excited to see this :)

@toddgrotenhuis Had someone tell me the other day that it was terrible and derivative and wasn’t worth it to see. I have a hard time understanding that. I’m also not bothered by spoilers, but I’ll take your word for it on this one :) Thanks! PS: Have you seen the ratings?! It’s amazing for an R-Rated film!

@jacklaridian Oh! I’ve not seen that. Love me some “Kung Fu Theater” 😁

@brianstorms Well, that’s certainly a take. I have yet to see it, however, so I can’t quite comment on same. I’m sorry to hear you didn’t like it. Little else feels like more of a waste of time than seeing a movie that does not satisfy. But then, we’re all different and have different tastes.

@nhgeek IKR! Sure, the visuals were pretty great, but paired to thin stick-it-to-the-commies story and it just doesn’t … erm, soar? LOLZ

@manton Man, that’s some cleeeeean work!

@manton Sorry to bother with something new (to me, at least) but I just found out the Copy HTML template is blank when copied to the clipboard from the dock in an editor window of the macOS app. First time I’ve done it, since I usually use the web uploader, so no worries. Just wanted to mention it before I forgot… which I do a lot.

@toddgrotenhuis I’m a PK of an Episcopalian minister, so now I’m an old hand at being agnostic. That’s what you get about 90% of the time with us PKs :)

@leo Shameless criminality infecting the very institutions that were originally put in place to control such things. It’s hard not to envision a very, very bad outcome for our country. We’ve never been perfect and we’ve made plenty of mistakes, but we always made progress. Now it’s quite clear that we’re being dragged into some insane amalgam of the good ol’ days pulled from a mishmash of eras, all of which were catastrophic for a wide range of minorities. I will make my small contributions to the effort, as always, but I’m not hopeful.

@manton Understood. As always, I’m happy to test.

@manton Excellent! It’s nice we can drag-n-drop, as well. However, it doesn’t seem we can d&d multiple files as it only uploads the first file. There’s also a minor bug where when testing multi-file drop the upload works for the first file, but it appears as a black square until you refresh the Uploads page. It would be nice to get access to editing the alt-text in the app, though.

Thanks, Manton!
