Jim Silly-Balls posted:that time that apple forced a U2 album onto everyone’s iPhone and it backfired so badly that they had to provide a utility to delete the songs drat I gotta get on this cause my phone started defaulting to the u2 songs when I start my car. I don’t even use Apple Music anymore and I have a few other albums that have letters before U so that has to be intentional edit: lol I have to contact support

u2 has going for it: the edge made liberal use of echo and delay in a modern rock format so the guitar sounded cool, but it wasn't offputting to normies like those goths it's just jesusey enough that if your antenna are tuned that way you pick it up irish-american rah rah rah -- the first station to play u2 in america was wbcn in boston and they did very very well there. bono was very good looking modern rock/alternative rock formats on radio have basically forgotten they exist. your alternative throwback station is not busting out zooropa u2 has not going for it: bono is a twat they haven't been relevant for people outside of their age cohort for a long time, yet they still exist and the media keeps caring.

aww digsby, looks like it was eaten by a social network almost ten years ago, wow it seemed inevitable, since they added bundleware to their free(?) version in a pivot after a few years. for some reason I remember it having pay features, but maybe I'm thinking of trillium

he insisted on taking literally every strip of cardboard and piece of wood from his deathtrap book wall, and had to move everything using a hand cart, including those ancient VAXes which probably weight 150lb each. there was also something about getting tricked by a fake lawyer that i forget the details of, and hints about his rage-quitting his scifi book club after a row over cinema tickets. unfortunately all the juicy stuff seems to have happened IRL and all you get online is his sanitised one-sided version.

there's a tiny subset of users desperately trying to pretend it's still for text discussion rather than being entirely about movie piracy and child porn. they're all old-school nerds in their 50s and 60s and mostly spend their time sucking off elon musk, or continuing decades-long flamewars.
