@metacosm @MarioTorre ‘tis the season! ;) it’s reportedly on (at least) the title track https://www.nin.wiki/The_Downward_Spiral_(song)

@agreeable_landfall @jwz the Sansa fuze is different to the iPod. It has different drivers and different bugs. As it happens the fuze v1, in common with the iPod 5, doesn’t reliably work over usb with rockbox. There’s definitely a bug tracking this for fuze v1, but I’m not sure about for the iPod. (Source: I’ve had a half-dozen fuzes, v1 and v2, actually tried to fix this very bug but failed, and now use an iPod 5 with rockbox)

@MarioTorre @metacosm Trent Reznor reportedly borrowed what was John Lennon’s Mellotron for the downward spiral (it’s buried in the mixes)

@neil @ygathgoch thx. There’s some notes I followed here https://anarc.at/hardware/tablet/kobo-clara-hd/ (did I paste this already?)

@ygathgoch @neil I recently achieved this by putting syncthing on the kobo

Does minimalist Santa take stuff away at Christmas?

@willhbr Love breaking the word “password” to wrap the line there too

@pndc you sound perfect. Can I send you a question via email? I'll attempt to DM you my address

@RogerBW you've got mail

I could use a couple of volunteer Atom-feed lovers interested in 3d printing for a private beta or something

@liw @neil it’s proven a theory had though, that I will basically fill the full capacity of whatever bag I have. So perhaps having a huge bag is actually a drawback.

@liw @neil I got an amazing bag in a thrift store in Portland, Oregon. I think it’s meant for SLR camera and lenses. Mine is in orange. https://images.evo.com/imgp/1500/67978/357593/poler-the-excursion-pack-backpack-olive-front.jpg

I find it much easier to write about music than tech

@dj @FetidTrash @mjg59 who says I am?

@ttyS1 those definitely look like the same “on-ear” form factor. I shall try to demo some. Thanks!

I really miss my Bose *on-ear* wireless headphones, which are discontinued. Is anyone making a decent pair of on-ear wireless ‘phones today? (Not over-ear)

This seems accurate

It’s a meme! Reads something like:

STOP DOING AGILE
• REQUIREMENTS ARE NOT SUPPOSED TO CHANGE EVERY TWO WEEKS
• YEARS of ESTIMATING yet no real-world evidence of anything getting done faster
• "In order to reduce process we add more process" - statement dreamed up by the UTTERLY DERANGED
• POKER is a GAME not a PLANNING TOOL
• T-shirt size estimation belongs in the CLOTHING STORE not SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT
• "Points represent complexity, not time"
YET YOU KEEP MEASURING HOW MANY POINTS FIT IN A WEEK??
• People who want to "BURN DOWN" belongs in JAIL not run software teams
• Same goes for people doing GROOMING
This is REAL SCRUM done by REAL scrum masters:

Pretend there’s a bunch of burndown charts here.

They have played us for absolute fools
