this is worthy of celebration: the lack of video—autoplay video, noisy inane video, panicky video, algorithmic, dumb video, rabbit hole video, any video—on pi.fyi is a good thing
tyler 👍
if video, would be neat to see it with really narrow constrains
like
— no uploads
— only pi.fyi app camera-captured video can be shared, no filters crops edits allowed
— maybe even limit it to the back camera…to move away from selfie culture and focus on the recs
Or something in that spirit to foster a sense of authenticity and closeness
I am so so so bored of lofi music videos shot on mini dv / hi8 / 2000s camcorders. It‘s 2025 people - have some ambition.
Feels like people are relying on the aesthetics of the medium to carry their work and forgetting that the concept and subject and content of the video itself needs to be interesting.
felt like being a hater today.
just got this little gadget — as something of a spiritual successor to the iPod. Highly recommended! Small, touchscreen, SD card, no apps, HIFI listening options, bluetooth
