Respect. The casette-aux is way better than the radio transmitters, if you don’t have bluetooth nor an aux input. I was using one up until about 2015 (with my ipod instead of a cd Walkman though), before my car finally gave up the ghost. Now I just use bluetooth
Hey, congratulations! We just made nine years over here too
Idk, I haven’t used Connect. I used Jerboa, Liftoff, and then Wefwef. I’ve been sticking with Wefwef now because it seems to work well, but I still switch to Liftoff if I’m experiencing some technical issues and want to see if it’s the app or the servers.
Based 🔥🔥🔥
Well… damn. I’m mid-30’s; Tech is (definitely) kind of a hobby of mine; and I use Linux for learning, experimenting, and… uhh, tech hobby stuff lol. I can solder a little, and sometimes it actually works!
Maybe it’s because that cohort is the fastest to adopt. We grew up with a rapidly changing internet, we’re kinda used to navigating the glitches/unfamiliarity, and it’s just more familiar (to us) in a “back-to-basics” way. I feel like I’ve entered a nostalgic “place” that has become better since I last visited.
With Memmy for ios going full-live, the multitude of 3rd party apps at full throttle, and Facebook ready with “Threads” - this just seems like the first wave of what could be a hell of a storm. The content will increase and diversify, that’s inevitable now.
The question is: do people want to be responsible for maintaining a user-controlled platform? Or would they prefer an operator help to connect us? We’ll see, but I guarantee there will be some fresh af memes coming through here in the mean time, so no worries
Hell, while you’re here… throw some of those old ass memes (or almost any pic you’ve got saved on your phone) onto !196@lemmy.blahaj.zone
Be the change you want to see and shit
Or don’t, it’s not like anyone can really judge you when you’re anonymous… but you’ll know. Months from now, when you’re lying in bed, unable to sleep because you were complicit in the apathy; you’ll wonder if it could have been different. You’ll try to bury the intrusive thoughts and “what ifs”, but you’ll always wonder…
“Could it have actually worked? Might we have taken claim to a piece of independence in the future of world communications?!”
… and the thought slips away, as you mainline another 40 min of memes directly into you’re neurotransmitter reservoir, for sustenance and maintenence
Gotta get that “Legendary” status
