Sure, let's be in technological denial. As a coping mechanism it's no better than accepting tech wholesale. A preference is all that's left. But it sucks the air from the room. Then the space becomes dogmatic.

the saturated look of my devices is getting too much to handle. macOS settings and shortcuts to the rescue. a fancier filter would process more intelligently, but this is good enough iOS has the same

accessibility settings in macOS for a less saturated look

macOS shortcut to toggle colour filters. it can be placed in the menu bar.

I don't have an issue with people being wrong on HN. But the software they release after, man. Brief list. - Don't use vibrato for wow&flutter - Fe tapes do not max out at 13kHz or 15 - Dolby is a sliding band compressor - Tape hiss is nothing like quantisation - Pre/De-emphasis is always on

What are you doing this afternoon? NO STOP DON'T DO THAT! Instead,play this adorable 8-bit demake of Lemmings - all the levels you remember! just as incredibly cute and frustrating! - in your browser. This is SO GOOD (and they do the 'oh no!' sfx when you blow them up): buzzard1337.itch.io/lemmings

A screenshot of one of the game's levels - specifically the early one in which you just use blockers to stop the lemmings ambling off ledges to their doom

simply timeless music, and it's almost impossible to fake the textures - tape, pedals, acoustic recordings, done with actual intent, like in the old times.

it will feel weird to watch Wimbledon on TV next year without hearing Andrew Castle’s voice. another loss for the Beeb, much more so for the audience.
