Everyone I see using them merely uses it to blow the detritus into the street. What you’re saying makes a lot of sense, but people don’t do that

I agree that it doesn’t do any homophone handling with music. It simply tries to make English words 95% of the time, and then search for them. I listen to niche music and it’s incredible frustrating - foreign bands, unique names, etc - all fucked. It’s the one thing I hate on my iPhone - how bad Siri still is, 13 years later.

I believe the hardware for the touch was on the X and Xs

I use Feedly. It’s not Google News, but it works well, the mobile app is great, and it’s not going to be killed on a whim.

That’s the goal. (Unsure of sarcasm)

Plays pretty well with steam link, but yeah, I’ll be in line for the mobile version as well.

Mbourgon , 2 months ago to Technology in Apple loses top phonemaker spot to Samsung as iPhone shipments drop, research company says

Unfortunately, it’s probably just because it’s a “major version” feature. All reporting sounds like they are using one of two different models, either their own or possibly googles, but they want that to be a big part of the push for the new phone, I’m sure, just like they did with the iPhone 4s and Siri. I’m hoping it just incorporates more local device features, like better shortcuts and better Siri. I don’t need it to draw photos, I don’t need for it to look up shit on the Internet… But if it could summarize the page I’m currently reading, that might be nice

And if you like that, the same group did a TV show called Danger 5 which is MORE unhinged and awesome

Siege is the high point for me - it’s where I came in, but the mix of the metal + electronica + symphonic + beauty vocals is prettyy much perfect there. I like the newer and older, and I love being able to strip away the layers.

Mechina - Siege. Take a metal band with industrial influences. Release an album. Take that album. Add tons of atmospherics and electronica. Release that version as well. Now take that, and add angelic votes, and some harsh and release that as well. You can buy whichever version you prefer. All great for the different reasons

Wayfarer – American Gothic. The jangly guitar alternate 1890s death/black metal band you didn’t know you needed.

Sermon - on golden verse. proggy anthemic melodeath with fantastic clean vocals.

Seriously, they couldn’t put in a 1/I/l test? That’s half of what I want a different font for.
