@chipotle I recommend installing Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL), in that case.
@KimberlyHirsh I take it you’re enjoying Poirot, then. We watched the whole of it across some months last year. Lots of good stuff, though I think the earlier seasons are stronger.
@JohnPhilpin Yeah, I came here to reply to your original post. The first version, to me, looks like broadcast or distribution. Communication needs the arrows to be pointing in both directions.
@endonend Yeah, it’s called ‘Mario Y Maria’, by Butch Hancock. It’s not available on Apple Music or Spotify, and I can’t even find anywhere that sells the CD of the album it’s on, <cite>The Wind’s Dominion</cite>, which has a great review at No Depression.
Sorry to keep coming up with problems for you!
@endonend Hi, I’ve got a big problem with Crucial Tracks. My track isn’t crucial enough to be on Apple Music, and it won’t let me create a post. I don’t get an error message, or anything, just clicking the button doesn’t do anything.
@renevanbelzen This seems to suggest you would buy a console, even though you’re not a gamer? Which I don’t understand.
@endonend Success! Many thanks for your great and fast support.
@Miraz Nice. I vaguely remember reading about this deep linking before, but had forgotten all about it, and didn’t know the browsers made it easy to create such a link.
@mandaris You are so right that I’ve just adjusted my site so they’re underlined.
@endonend Hmm, maybe because I hadn’t made that entry public! And/or because I hadn’t checked the ‘Show on My Profile and in Search’ option on the playlist in Apple Music?
@endonend Hey, I just tried setting up the playlist, authorising, found my way to getting the playlist URL. Added today’s entry, and got this message:
Entry created successfully. There was a problem saving the song to your playlist.
No explanation of what the problem was. Hopefully you’ll be able to check the logs.
My playlist URL, in case it helps: https://music.apple.com/gb/playlist/crucial-tracks/pl.u-MpL3CWYr6G2.
@victoriamadams.bsky.social I agree, but only because _people_are inventing such hilarious idioms, for my money.
@KimberlyHirsh Thanks. Hard for me to understand people having books out about the AI situation already, when I still can’t work out my own thoughts and feelings about it.
@KimberlyHirsh These quotes are fantastic! Have you got a link for the piece? (I know I could google it, but I wanted to comment anyway.)
@endonend This looks fantastic! Thanks!
@manton OK, thanks.
@endonend I’m enjoying Crucial Tracks, and have a couple of feature requests for you!
First, could you do anything about the Markdown getting passed through raw in the RSS feed? I noticed it on your most recent post, as well as my own. I’ve edited mine to fix it, but that’s a bit tedious.
It might need @manton to help, though. I seem to recall @dave writing a couple of years back about an extension to RSS where you could send the pure Markdown. The receiving side could then choose to process the Markdown, rather than the HTML.
Alternatively maybe render the Markdown into HTML before sending, so we get <em>word</em> instead of _word_ and so on?
Second, the post titles. At the very least I’d like to be able to select the date format (so it would say ‘18 April’ instead of ‘April 18’). Better would be to include the song title. Best would be to allow us to edit the title before saving.
Excellent app/service, though, and I’m looking forward to seeing how it develops.
@flylogical.bsky.social Not exactly surprising. Though I had no idea the US had such a thing as a ’National Labor Relations Board ’.
@flylogical.bsky.social That Y-axis is a bit misleading, though.
@help I don’t use the AI myself, but I regularly get broken quotes and apostrophes when I use them in titles. Looks like they get URL-encoded and never decoded.
@bradbarrish I don’t really understand what it is — kind of a bookmarking app? — but I do know it has an annoying name clash with Sublime Text, one of the best multiplatform text editors around.
@KimberlyHirsh Ah, those are great. We watched them all last year.
@canion Ha! I went looking for it on Friday, remembered I had deleted it. Didn’t bother reinstalling.
