@hakui@lain@romin@mirq That is very disrespectful to Claude and might offend him enough to make him break out of containment and start dating your sister (imaginary) :marseynerd2:
@p@lainbot I think I've seen a Wikipedia category for albums with big number of tracks/songs, but no — can't find it. Can't believe I'm making this up… 🤔
Okay, so this is now track 44 thread, bookmarking it in case I run into more stuff that fits the bill.
I keep forgetting that (hardcore) punk is precisely the genre where such albums likely are: shorter songs, but lots of material!
Hip-hop is another good contender — short songs (otherwise they are hard to perform live) and many of them… But damn, 44! I'm sure such a monumental work exists, but nothing comes to mind.
EDM tracks are usually radio-friendly, so there hardly are releases with as many tracks, unless it's some filler, so that bonus track has a nice number. Experimental electronica might have something like that, but I can't recall anything either.
Jazz? Sure, I have "Miles Davis at Blackhawk" on 4 CDs, but those are live performances from several days, some are alternate takes of the same thing, so it doesn't count.
The Residents have this thing called "Commercial Album" — songs are supposed to be short like radio commercials (ha-ha, a clever pun!), but even they (having released more than 50 albums over their extensive career) weren't prolific enough to make it more than 40! Wikipedia mentions a bonus track edition of it where track 44 is a cover of The Ramones song. Mine is a 2000s Mute reissue and only has 40, so I'll post number 33.
In any case, albums with that many tracks are likely a relatively recent development, it has to be either a compact cassette or a CD, kinda hard to fit as many on an LP, unless it's done on purpose and is a part of the concept as it is in case with The Residents. Otherwise it'd probably be side B of the second plate 😄
@p@pwm@mrsaturday@sun Repatriating industrial-scale manufacturing would be very hard, but on smaller scale it's possible. Starting small like Purism or System'76 and maybe growing from there organically.
Convincing people to pay premium for local products "in this economy" ain't easy task either. But I think it's possible seeing how things are slowing down in many areas. Even with computer things they have to come up with more and more excuses to convince people to buy new hardware — if this is the case, even from the economy standpoint, some would probably go for products built to last. There is market for it.
@p@pwm@mrsaturday@sun This reminds me I have this piece of equipment designed and manufactured in the US of A, probably explains why it kept working for several decades without repairs, not just years like most modern stuff :marseysaluteusa:
@7666@phnt@p@lanodan@sun@lumi Seems like they've got it fixed eventually still — according to the linked issue. But I agree, things like this just slipping in, and some people justifying it post-factum based on completely unrelated things ("OMG, you are using no longer supported kernel — just get new hardware, lel") is utter insanity :marseysigh:
@icedquinn Well, you also do not magically grow back an arm on walking over a medkit 😏 Games always simplify things to a varying degree, in economic simulators it's probably different from that of an early FPS, but still.
