I honestly don't get this
is it a joke ? or serious ?
if you think the past was better, try walking around all day carrying 4 devices that collectively weigh a ton and don't fit in your pocketsin the past, as shown by this picture, I had to carry around 4 seperate things
I had to pay for each one
I had to keep each one updated
I had to learn the seperate, and usually poor GUI/UX on each one
I had huge problems transferring informationNow, I just have to carry one device
that is incredible progress@failedLyndonLaRouchite @stux The real joke is that millenials are old enough for this specific kind of midlife crisis joke.
Just put on some rose tinted glasses, pretend systemic problems are new, and blame the toys people entertain themselves with for the "change."
It drove me nuts when I was a teenager and boomers did it, it was embarrassing when I saw my fellow gen x do it, this is just the next generation taking up the mantle of middle aged crankiness.

I can imagine my parents, born in the 1930s, groaning about how their parents thought 78rpm vinyl was somehow better or more human or more authentic

@broximar I was looking for a iPod Classic yesterday but the prices
Holy smeckles
@stux
That's because you want to go vintage.I bought this last year: no Bluetooth, just a headset with integrated MP3 player. And you can also swim with it.

@michaelormsby @stux I just powered up my old iPod Nano and it still had 1,500 songs — not sure if my library aged well, time for a listen

@stux@mstdn.social I actually recently bought a Walkman NW-A55. I've been just downloading music to my phone for a few years now, but with how much room it's starting to take up it seemed like a good idea to just get a dedicated device again. I haven't regretted the decision to go back to a dedicated music player; it's so much better. -
