@artkavanagh Thanks for a quick and correct reply 👍🏻!
I was trying before that but I ended up with .movpkg-files on my hard drive. When I read your reply I realized that I was on the right track (pun not intended) but that some kind of setting or other was wrong. It turned out to be that I had set downloads to be lossless. Changing to 256 AAC solved the problem.
Does anybody know how to export my iTunes Music purchases (non-DRM) as .wav or .aac or similar? I want to listen to it outside of the Music App.
Midsummer Night’s Eve, down by the lakeA lot of people seems to be upset about Apple (or other companies) scraping the internet for their generative ai. I sincerely hope those aren’t the same people who in the past have argued that ”information wants to be free”.
Äntligen lägger regeringen ett faktiskt liberalt förslag!
This all leaves 2024’s modern iPad Pro in a very familiar place: It is a remarkable piece of hardware that can handle pretty much any task it’s capable of executing without breaking a sweat, and thanks to its new display, it’ll look great doing it. But it’s let down by iPadOS limitations (and more than a decade of slow-paced iPad development) that preclude it from being the shining star of Apple’s productivity line-up that it should probably be.”
Jason Snell’s review of the new iPad Pro models are very informative.
Mexican Firing Squad
I did read a couple of pages in bed last night. I wonder, and hope, that I can keep the habit of reading more once the vacation ends as well.
Last night, enjoying a ”The Godfather” and reading Clear and Present Danger by one of the hotel pools.
I’ve realized that something. Being in a sunnier, warmer country (tends to be Greece) really ups my tolerance for music that I otherwise find absolutely terrible. Just a few moments ago I actually enjoyed the recent house remix/sample of “I’m blue”. Weird.
Two nights ago Linn and I watched The Shining and I’ve recently finished the book. I have mixed feelings about this movie. I’ll get back to this soon, I hope.
Watched: The Shining (1980)

@jeremycherfas A very good rant! 👍🏻
The camper
Today I’m driving to my dad to pick up his camper van. We are going on a trip with it the coming week.
Quite literally reaping what we’ve sowed, making mojitos out of the mint in the herb garden.
Yesterday Ebbe and me finished to Wind Temple in Tears of the Kingdom. In my opinion it was a really exciting dungeon, being just hard enough to be a challenge, while not impossible and it made me feel clever in the end.
Also since I really like flying with the glider the boss battle was amazing.
@sod That one's in my physical bookshelf already and last summer I started reading it in parallell to all the audio book listening. However I haven't taken the time to read in a long while, so I'll probably need to start it from the beginning again. In the end I went with The Wolves of Calla and so far (4-5 hours in) I'm very happy about the choice.
@jean As a Swede, I can confirm this. It’s actually a law that goes back to when Per Allbin Hanson was prime minister that states that every citizen must be prepared to serve Fika if the prime minister or the king were to make an unscheduled visit. 🙃
@ronguest It's a FlashForge Adventurer 3. It works well for my needs, was on sale when I got it and we have a bigger model FlashForge at work so I figured it would be simple to have a similar machine at home.
@jemostrom Nice work! 👍🏻
@hollyhoneychurch Wow, so cool! How/where will you release it?
@odd To be clear, I don’t think Lynch and Frost knowingly took parts of it, but maybe one or both of them had read it and it was simmering in that back of their mind. Or maybe it’s some sort of shared American horror, some ideas of small towns and their secrets.
@colinwalker Nice!
@colinwalker In that case I think you don't even have to move your headphones to get the post DAW signal. Just press the "USB/2TR TO PHONES/CTRL RM"-button and the signal going to the headphones should be the return from the computer, as opposed to the mix from the mixer.
@colinwalker Sure, but eveything that gets in the way of the creative process is a hassle. That mixer has a built in USB audio interface, right? But you use a separate interface, correct?
@colinwalker Aha, you use it stand alone at times. Then I understand. Is there a way to connect the computer back to the mixer (lika a "Tape Return" or similar) in a way so that you can listen to it via the mixer, without recording it back onto it self? What mixer are you using?
@colinwalker How is your setup? Is it possible to listen to the audio after it's passed through the computer instead of before the computer? It'll help to catch those things.
@leonp Again, I disagree. I’m not saying that the ad companies aren’t making it worse with their UIs for this, but even when the law works perfectly it means every single website that uses cookies in any kind of way must throw up a dialog of some sort which will lead to users being trained at ignoring them and just clicking “allow”.
@leonp I disagree. The problem is that politicians doesn’t now how the internet works, and they don’t really care either, so they make laws that just doesn’t make sense and/or doesn’t work in practice. See also the “link tax” proposed by the EU.
@herself M1 MacBook Air, right? I got one of those earlier this year and I’m giddy with excitement every time I use it. Best computer I’ve ever owned.
@jeremycherfas That's a good way to look at it, and Eat This Podcast is a great example of a podcast that gets to the point. 👍🏻
@canion That's a good principle! I haven't listened to Hemispheric Views (yet?), but I'll put it on my mental list for when I want to add more podcasts to my queue.
@pimoore Glad to hear I'm not the only one. Part of the problem is probably that I'm falling out of love with the format of more "personality driven" podcasts.
@furstenberg That was a very moving post, and it sounds as if you and your dad had a nice relation. I’m sorry for your loss. It seems like such an empty phrase, but I am.
@colinwalker Neither have I. It doesn't seem to have nearly as good a reputation as the other Roland machines. I don't really know why though. Yes, it's hard to use and the sounds are limited in their appeal, but the same could be said for many other TR and TD products.
@ajennische 👍🏻
@colinwalker You make a compelling argument for me buying one. :) But I've decided that I need to start using the gear I have before getting more, so I've just started watching tutorials for the TR-505 to finally learn how to use it.
Post some more audio when you got the things hooked up. Would be nice to hear!
