In a year that’s been absolute shit, I am grateful to have an extraordinarily great re-release of my favorite album ever. I don’t think I’d imagined a double album like Sign O’ The Times could be augmented with another *three albums* worth of equally wonderful material, but!
Hello tech support Twitter! On a Mac running Catalina, I’m saving a recording in QuickTime Player and neither the Save… nor Export As > menu items produce the save file dialog box. The windows are not small/offscreen, they don’t appear at all. No other apps affected. Any ideas?
LOL, after getting multiple suggestions to try the scary move of just clicking the close icon, I did, and I got.... a beachball and nothing else. (I *can* copy the entire track — but can't paste it into GarageBand or other audio apps. Hmm?)
Ah hah! Thanks to @gl33p & @Diana_E_Prince, I've been alerted to the location where QuickTime Player (my nemesis; a piece of shit) stores its temporary files and now we have the elusive recording. Path is at the bottom or in alt text if you need it.
This is a sweet and charming gallery of online games made by @biomecollective. It's fun to explore and reminds us how creativity on the web can be so expressive and fun biome-gallery.glitch.me But it also shows something more...
The Biome team worked by remixing what @molleindustria had created for @likelikearcade recently, the online Museum of Multiplayer Art likelike.glitch.me They didn't have to start from scratch to get their idea up and runnning.
Just by looking at these sites, it's clear that the web doesn't have to be all misery and surveillance and the products of big companies. And we're also seeing creators from around the world building off of each other's work, lowering the barriers to expressing our own ideas.
Today might be the day I give up on trying to explain that you shouldn’t quote tweet someone unless you want to encourage twitter to amplify their message to millions for free. People just won’t change this behavior, to the detriment of us all.
If you retweet somebody but don’t want more people to hear their lies or hate, it’s like buying a copy of their book just so you can burn it. You’re still helping them overall.
Agreed, it is a foolish design choice by the platform. But if we know better, we can do better.
One of Prince's most soulful and heart-felt songs ever, "Forever In My Life" is revealed in its earliest form, showing its bluesy roots while giving us a glimpse into both his creative process and his personal life at the height of his stardom. open.spotify.com/track/4572OrIx…
And this memory about the song's creation described by @susannahtwin will break your heart.
One of the most striking things about this alternate version of “Forever In My Life” is that, in contrast to the spartan arrangement of the released version, the accompanying acoustic guitar reveals a richer chord progression that evokes the earliest songs Prince wrote as a teen.
