Unfortunately no 3.5mm headphone jack. That would make the phone perfect for me. Still, I really like the device and it's rare anyway that I'd be using a set of wired headphones these days.

Trump also thinks it's 50x larger than it really is because of map projection effects.

I buy vinyl for older albums (or current favourite artists I follow that release LPs), and all my digital purchases are through Bandcamp. I host everything (flac or mp3 files) on a Navidrome server and stream from that.

Yes, I have. I suppose I should have said "ALWAYS super keen to see whatever is coming next".

Weeeird movie! Some truly bizarre stuff in there, visually and tonally. Need to watch it again. I'm a big fan of Alex Garland, super keen to see whatever is coming next.

I love everything of his that I've read. I think my favourites are Green Mars, Aurora, and 2312. I also really loved The High Sierra as a very different example of his work.

I've still not read The Years of Rice and Salt or Shaman – definitely need to get around to them. I tend to pace myself with my very favourite authors.

Thanks for all your work on this fork! I use Tempo every day and I'm so glad there's development continuing. Do you already have a new name for the project in mind?

It depends on the client app you use. Some support it, some don't.

I use Jellyfin for movies and TV shows, but never tried for music because I already had Navidrome set up. It is so good, really one of my all-time favourite pieces of software. It greatly repays a well-tagged collection, relying on embedded metadata only. Not sure how Jellyfin works here, maybe there is some ability to scrape album info from online sources (?), but I believe it's pretty strict about directory structure (one folder per album), which Navidrome doesn't care about.

"Since 2022" - not a headline-worthy comparison imo

For me it's Irish traditional music. Aside from having an interesting history, the style often takes a very high level of musicianship to play well. A single monophonic instrument can play a tune and the fast-moving stream of notes can simultaneously spell out melody, counterpoint/call-and-response, and harmony, as well as providing a strong rhythmic pulse (it is music to dance to, after all).
