I forgot where I saw someone asking about an iPod-like music player, so hopefully this community is okay for this type of post.

Tanagra reached its funding goal very quickly earlier this year because a lot of us want the simplicity of portable, offline listening that the original iPods gave us. However Tanagra goes even further to create a more customizable experience, and runs on open-source software. Take a look at their main page.

From the website:

Tangara is a portable music player. It outputs high-quality sound through a 3.5 mm headphone jack or Bluetooth, has great battery life, and includes a processor that’s powerful enough to support any audio format you can throw at it. It’s also 100% open hardware running open-source software, which makes it easy to customize, repair, and upgrade. Tangara plays what you want to hear, however you want to hear it.

Listen to music, audio books, and podcasts on a purpose-built device with a tried-and-true form factor, a familiar user interface, and no interest in your data. Or tear it apart and put it back together again. By tweaking our current firmware, you can experiment with alternative user-interface patterns, new types of content, tracker-based music production, alarm-clock applications, and much more. Or you can design a new faceplate with a different kind of display panel, more physical buttons, speakers, different jacks, or…a custom cherry-wood enclosure? Whatever turns your touchwheel.

 

connection to the lyric "I pledge for creation's soul."
This song is by a group called Soul Glo.

from people I've talked to who do that (and me) it's usually to get away from other people before going inside somewhere. like the husband who chills in his car to avoid the wife, or the son who doesn't wanna go in to deal with the dad yet.

the car is a portable bubble, an escape, your own little contained environment in which you can exercise some form of control. a mini home away from home for some.

earliest memory is of the Nintendo 64, but it's a blur to me whether i played Crash Bandicoot, Goldeneye, Banjo Kazooie, or Mario Kart 64 first. Probably Mario Kart because we had the steering wheel attachment and that's irresistible to kids.

yeah I wouldn't use it for doing the whole thing, but have been using it here and there to help me figure out why I'm getting errors and how to solve them. As a newbie programmer it helps guide me back to the right path.

However... even that doesn't work all the time because it's still not smart enough to isolate issues coming from imports, plus some other minor hiccups.

there's no good or bad people, it's much more nuanced than that. no one fits into just one box at all times and places.

just do your best, it's all we can do.

why are the customers complaining about discounted prices? wouldn't lower prices on EVs and making them more affordable to more people be a good thing?
