I do somewhat, but prefer my laptop. I think it would be helpful to be able to print or otherwise have a physical textbook, but my uni doesn’t have a printer for us to use and we all know physical texts are crazy expensive.

For my phone, I use the NaturalReader app. Its text to speech, but you can highlight and annotate the text as well. If you tap on a word, it’ll highlight the whole sentence so you don’t have to do the tedious drag-to-highlight thing. Not sure what it does with graphics, however. In that case I’d try out Zotero for mobile. Not sure how great the app is on the phone but I like it a lot in my laptop.

Yeah that’s what I figured but just wanted to get other opinions since its been most of the week. It wasn’t nearly this bad when I first started using the platform but I guess the “official reddit exodus” really took its toll even with the big server upgrades. I’m looking at other instances, but it seems like any instance that isn’t the big ten or so are pretty dead with very few communities. I also want to be federated with lemmygrad and not exploding heads and that seems kinda tough to find though I could stand to look harder.

I tried that and another app right now but it’s telling me that my password is wrong! So I’m nervous to try and reset it right now Guess I’ll try again tomorrow sigh

That just happened to me as I was going to try a new app because I’ve barely been able to interact with lemmy.ml at all the last week due to what seem like bugs. So hopefully it’ll be a short lived issue

Watanabe made Samurai Champloo too! True masterpieces. This is super exciting

Hahaha sick I’ll try to check them out, so curious about the sound

Lol aw man I’m definitely getting old; I remember when Skrillex came out and kinda ruined the genre tbh, it was so totally different when it first emerged, it actually sounded like dub. So I’m not familiar with any of those guys, they were after my time.

I think it probably depends on the listener but yeah, if I try to listen to most mid 80s hip hop, it’s so rudimentary that it’s really hard for me to a tuslly get into. Like Run DMC, or NWA. I can get into NWA but the novelty runs out quickly so I can only listen to them very rarely. But there are a lot of newer bands that I hear and say “I’ve already heard x y and z do this better” so it’s hard to get excited about new stuff too. If you are a really avid music listener I think it has to take something exceptional coming out to really get impressed by

Pshhhh get me some molly and that song will still go so hard lol

Wow, that’s fucked. Was the dudes name Randy or something? I think I vaguely remember hearing about that

Oooo I wanna check it out! Who should I search for?

Oh man for whatever reason this is a top tier cringe band from my teen years lol. Used to jam them on my discman on my way to PE

Cinematic masterpiece

Edit: actually this one is the cinematic masterpiece. I actually do wanna go to the Gathering

I’m curious what old songs you might be thinking of? I was a wannabe raver in middle school and an actual one at the end of highschool lol. I may know what’s up

Haha that was one of my first CDs as well. Loved that shit

Nice, good to know they’ve still got it. I got to see them once waaaay back, like 2004 or something for the Subliminal Verses tour I believe.

I got to see them perform with Lingua Ignota, weirdest combo ever.

Hahaha damn you roasted them so hard. True I guess I don’t see too many people repping them, I just know they played Madison Square Garden with Scowl, though, so I assumed it’s what you whippersnappers are into

Hahaha Ive had Blind stuck in my head for like 3 days. I stopped listening to them when I was still in highschool but have dabbled in the past year or two and it’s such a good nostalgia hit

Oooo yeah good point
