I don't understand why they do this stuff.

Apophasis.

Answer:
You can't. Those "sort" options aren't supported in playlists anymore. You can't even view those columns in playlists. Why? God knows. You can still see and sort by them in the main "songs" view.

One more:
Suppose you wanted to create a manually curated playlist (not a smart playlist) and sort it by playcount, or date added, or last played. How would you do that?

Actually there are three possibilities (itself indicative of how much of a frankenstein's monster this app is):
- my library filtered by that artist
- their itunes music store page
- their apple music page

But in reality clicking the artist name in the "currently playing" bar does nothing.

OK another one. I'm trying to see the artist page for the band I'm currently listening to. I click on the artist name. Where is it going to take me?

The answer: hover over the tiny horizontal line below the album cover, till it exapnds into a time bar, then use the bar.

Why would you hide this most basic control behind a hover effect???

The requirements for a good iTunes/Apple Music interface are so minimal and so simple, and yet somehow every year for the past decade they have made it steadily worse and harder to use.

I'm listening to a song. If I wanted to skip forward how would I do it?

well, i did my workout, and i did my grocery shopping, which included three stops and hauling two packed tote bags half a mile so we count this as bonus cardio for the day.

i should probably take down the christmas tree this week.

i mean i did

“When he opened the sixth seal, I looked, and behold, there was a great earthquake, and the sun became black as sackcloth, the full moon became like blood”

shoulders / chest ✅

i ask this with no malice but is there any indication that the endless gofundme posts claiming to be for palestinian children are not scams?

i’m not talking about the ones that are presented through a chain of acquaintance, but the ones that show up spontaneously in everyone’s replies.

see this is the Stancil posting that we need

good luck! i feel like there are some excellent puns laying about here but i can think of them.

i saw a video yesterday about how if nyc was hit by a nuclear blast my neighborhood would probably be instantly vaporized.

hallelujah.

if you posted a sunday scaries post, this wasn’t directed at you.

but also… i stand by what i said.

YouTube video by Philosophy Overdose Ethics of Principle vs Sensitivity - Richard Rorty (1990)

there’s only one audiobook which is incidentally the one i’d recommend anyway. It’s called “Achieving Our Country” and it’s available on audible.

If you want a brief taster I’d start with this lecture of his:

youtu.be/nD248K11zNE?...

“it’s probably going to be awful!”

it’s like “hey guys have you thought about the inevitability of your own death lately?”

everyone who posts about sunday scaries deserves them.

how about you leave the rest of us in peace?

that dice is so precise!

yeah it’s all just perfect.

there go my hopes and dreams.

i guess a big part of why i like rorty is quite simple: he speaks a language i understand, with references that are mostly familiar (and mostly dear) to me, in roughly the place i live, in roughly my own time, addressing questions that have plagued me for a long time.

lol at the bloodborne reference

trying to do this shoulders workout but generally depressed/distracted by the news.

they hate education. it’s actually that simple. they see the education system as an enemy stronghold that must be destroyed.

he looks like the concept of a bodybuilder.

this is maybe a dumb and obvious post but a lot of dumb moral stances seem to spring naturally from the failure to recognize that the people the bombs are hitting are just as human and diverse as you or me, that there are people everywhere who are struggling to survive and protect their kids, etc.
