of course it's a concern because kids don't know that there's going to be a big gap between what they create and what they envision so it's disheartening for them
Today 01/05 the account was finally reactivated with no explanation. I only ever received templated emails from their support department demanding “proof of all payments made in the last two months”. I repeatedly emailed that there have been no payments in the last two months only to receive the same email in reply. Then in a bizarre event I received an email this morning that the account was reactivated.
Funny how Brooks’ Law is still something people are learning: “ And counter-intuitively, adding more people to an early-stage project doesn't make it go faster.”
Shouldn't you feel "bad" for Meta then? They apparently both "picked the name out of the dictionary in an attempt to be trendy/minimalist" _and_ knew about Threads Software Limited before they put the name into use anyway.
The headline is dismal. Now writers can’t even be bothered to write what the improvement is? 40% of ______? “…Just trust us, 40% of something is ‘shaved’ …it’s good we promise.”
Doesn't that have the drawback, though, that you aren't able to share the playlist? My biggest complaint about Airplay (and also Bluetooth) is that someone might put their music on but when I want to put "my" music on I can't because they're paired to the given speakers.
The MPD approach is far better because each person's client view is a shared view of a single playlist. People can all add or update that playlist together.
No "law" of software or business is technically a law in the same rigorous sense that a scientific law is. But that's not why we call them laws and it would be nitpicking to call that out, besides entirely missing the point.
I'm unclear of the exact problem. Are you having a problem with powering two passive speakers from the same amplifier? Or you have two active speakers (each with its own internal amplifier and plug into the wall) and you have a problem with connecting a stereo music source to them?
MPD works great for non-tech-savvy friends over, you just need to install a web-based client and they can point their smartphone browser to it.
To make it even easier for friends and family, I set up a dynamic DNS with a friendly URL like myjukebox.duckdns.org that points to the 192.168.xxx.xxx address where this is hosted.
Taxes on cigarettes, in the US, at least, are not driven primarily by Christian moralists. I was part of a prominent US non-profit that is behind both higher cigarette taxes and laws that ban smoking in public areas. The motivation is health.
