  • The old image picker was so much better that there’s no legitimate comparison, because the old one allowed you to use your gallery app, which is my case is Simple Gallery Pro from F-Droid because it’s the best one there is. I just went from being able to search my microSD card by filename to having some kind of web 3.0 abomination that just shows every picture on local storage in a feed, and an album pane with a whopping 3 albums from local storage. Massive, massive step back. Potentially a deal breaker.











  • Might be indie rock. I’ll never forget going to 4chan /mu/ and seeing a guy argue that music should be unpleasant and hard to listen to if you really care about it, because then your opinion on the “sonic experience” isn’t being compromised by pleasure, citing the godawful singer of Neutral Milk Hotel as enriching the band more than a good singer would have. Called Death Grips “entry-level” music for tweens before you’re ready to graduate to experimental non-melodic field recordings of harsh noise.




  • I don’t think it’s fair to say Star Wars is stagnant, it’s fine the way it is. You could argue it’s a shame they never made more than three Star Wars movies, just like how it sucks that there was no Star Trek content produced between the time Voyager ended and Strange New Worlds premiered, but I’m happy we have two high-quality franchises that didn’t make embarrassing trash in shameless cash grabs. The only missed opportunity is that we never got a TNG film, it would have been almost impossible to screw up.
