The most money I ever made in the music industry was being part of a class action lawsuit against MTV. Record sales and live shows are nothing.

You should watch the film, it’s great!

Homer: "Reverse Psychology? Oh that sounds too complicated."
Homer's Brain: "Fine. DON'T use reverse psychology."
Homer: "OK I WILL!!"

Since it was completely server-hosted it was incredibly fast. You'd open it up and boom, everything all up to date. The search was fantastic. (Say what you will about Google but they've always been great at search. Very fast and very good results.) The site layout was clean and minimal. It was just a really good implementation. Of course they murdered it.

If you used Gmail in the early days, and ever used something before it, you probably had a moment where you said "wow, this is what email should have been all along". Reader was the same.

That's what I did! Over time I stopped looking at Feedly though. I replaced it with Reddit and Twitter mainly. Now that those sites have become Pure Evil I switched over to Apple News. I already pay for the Plus thing as part of the family bundle so might as well use it. The "Following" tab works like a personally-curated RSS feed list. If you want an algorithmic approach, you can use the "Today" tab.

The one main feature it's still lacking that I really want is a pure chronological list of everything from my Following sources/topics. I sent them feedback so I'm sure it will show up any time in the next 5-15 years.

Photos will automatically categorize pictures by person, place, thing, etc... I never bother making folders or albums because I can just search by date or place or "black cat" or whatever. If the system can't figure it out on its own you can easily multi-select a bunch of pictures and add keywords, which can then be searched. If you really don't want to see the whole unfiltered camera roll ever you can just stay away from the library entry. If you are in "My Albums", for instance, and quit the app, when you come back you'll still be there.

I guess I don't really understand what you're looking for.

You can download lossless with Apple Music and listen to it with no data connection.

He technically didn’t. It was originally owned by George Lucas! But it was mostly just the cgi arm of his special effects. Jobs bought it off Lucas and turned it into the Pixar movie studio we think of today. (Jobs is credited as executive producer on the original Toy Story)

Unfortunately the communities that I'm interested in didn't really move. I tried very hard to just quit Reddit cold turkey, but instead I've dialed it back to only 4-5 core topics that I'm interested in. For general doomscrolling I mostly use Apple News now. I check Lemmy every day or two but it's hard to get stuck in when the discussions I'm interested in aren't really flourishing here. Hopefully it grows over time.

Just keep it on Catalina and use that until it dies. I gave my dad a 2011 MacBook Air a while ago and that hasn't been updated since High Sierra. It still works fine.
