Anyone ACTUALLY restored a sticking/squealing tape? My original CPC Dizzy has lost it's mojo. I see reccomendations about using silicon lube, but also warnings not to! :( @breakintoprogram.co.uk ?

I’m curious why so many people still think this

There appears to be nothing in the composition of the universe, or our minds, that would prevent us from making a machine as smart as us, and probably (but not as surely) smarter than us.

it should simply not be legal for “ai” to generate photo-realistic images of people. or with people. they could limit the prompts to doing minor edits like fixing hair or or smoothing skin texture. they could do all these things. they actively choose not to.

Getting a lot of "but tapes sound awful" replies—and yeah some do but this is likely selection bias because your parents or yourself or whoever recorded them probably used cheap cassettes, bad settings and low-quality sources (like radio). Maybe watch this: www.youtube.com/watch?v=jVoS...

If you need to hear it: it's OK to not like specific music genres, not like music at all, like all music, not like music with singing, not like music without singing or anything in between. It's fine.

how has a song we’ve never heard of out-charted every other? ‘Ironically, the effect of "more music than ever" is that listeners — and, more to the point, commercial radio programmers — are gravitating to fewer and fewer hits, rather than turning over their playlists to welcome in new music’

What's funny to me is that my 1998 Sony Walkman (WM-EX9) is lighter and smaller than the iPhone Duo and has ~100 hour battery life And yes, that's comparing apples to ウォークマン ("Duoman" app demo via mastodon.social/@Viditb/1173...)

It is literally the same rhetoric and it was entirely predictable that that’s where it would go, just from seeing how entwined this stuff is with autism conspiracy theories too.
