I don't usually get up this early. This vitriol is just what I needed to wake me up. This is exactly why I moved to Google Play. I burned my $400 worth of iTunes to discs and never looked back. Shit system and terrible user interface.
Every song I acquired from a source other than purchasing on iTunes (about 95%) deleted itself from my iPhone last week. I can't even put new tracks on my iPhone anymore. At this point, it looks like a total system restore is in my phone's future if I want to gain back functionality, I've tried everything, spent hours looking for work-arounds. Fucking dismal piece of software. Edit: I never used Song Match, Apple Music, iCloud shit, nothing. This shit just has a mind of its own.
All my settings are toggled to manual control. My iPhone's library is built of 500 tracks manually selected out of 2000 in my library. I refused to update my iTunes and iOS versions, because I have had this exact same problem after doing so previously, on my old phone. But I wasn't given a choice. At some point, my computer snuck in an iTunes update, with Apple claiming that no further OSX updates could be administered without iTunes "upgrading" to the latest version either. And generally, every iTunes update is bad news. There's been too much of my time spent managing music when it should have been simple. Even having a library of 500 songs that I update weekly with ~15 new songs is now too much to ask. Ugh, I'm bitching about Apple products on Hubski, I'm going to sleep soon. But most importantly, good to hear from you, 8bit. Keep hanging in there. I hope things are well, but judging from how fucked Boulder's YikYak scene was... well, I lost more faith in our generation, and then deleted that app.
we had a massive outpouring of disgusting yaks like this around the same time. in DC. on a "progressive" college campus. ugly stuff.
It was the racism combined with a constant onslaught of desperate appeals from males to females for sex that killed it for me. It seemed anti-intellectual, in general, apart from some witty remarks getting popular. "Fuqbois" is the relevant term, thank you for introducing it to me.
ay u a girl? kik??? it's mostly recycled shit from tumblr and celebrity twitters. my "favorite" interaction to date was a guy who said i was a nazi because i was socialist because national socialism = socialism??? then i hit him with the "you just called a jew a nazi" and that was the end of my sadomasochistic yik yaking for the night.
Niiice. I've really been struggling with a superiority complex lately. I guess that's what it is. Just been feeling like people are unfathomably stoopid, in general. YikYak was an obvious contributer to this mentality, so it had to go. Hubski, on the other hand, needs more of my attention, because this community is remarkably uplifting.sadomasochistic yik yaking
The first time I was in Boulder, it was spring break, I hit the CU weight room, and I was like "hey, there's a good mix of ethnic groups represented." Then I remembered it was spring break, and all the locals go home. And Colorado is still incredibly white. The next time I was in town, it was white bro city. I showed up at the gym with my coworker and ex-coworker, we're each of totally different races, and we all lifted together. As you may have guessed, my interactions with CU students are 99% limited to the rec. center :(. Spent all my time on East Campus, away from most everyone. Beautiful campus, scenery and facilities are A++, but the homeless problem, cost of living, and general ignorance of the majority is a serious issue. Sadly, the YikYak scene reflects the populace relatively well, especially in that age demographic. So beyond a shadow of a doubt, I can confirm that you've never bullshitted anyone about how bad it can be there. Oh P.S. there's 'roids all up in that gym, Jesus.
My complaints about Google play: - often fails to find the next song... when I'm running on the beach under scant service (through T-mobile, even) - tries to get me to try their pussilanimous streaming stations rather than the album I'm looking for... at first. - occasionally locks up while seeking new media... while running and also tracking via MapMyRun. But you know what? I've got 200GB backed up to their cloud... for free. I can stream any piece of it on demand... for free. And when I tell it to make an instant mix off of a song, it will no-shit pick things from the same year off the same label as well as being in the same genre and mood. Which is saying a lot, because my genres are arbitrary. It's definitely worth more than what I'm paying for it, which is nothing. Unfortunately their paid version isn't particularly compelling as I still have more weird albums than they do. But hey - I have a 64GB phone and I have yet to load music on it, despite listening to music all day at times.
Same. Google Play offers a music cloud surface thats pretty much unbeatable to apple's. Their streaming sucks though.
