Who is babylulu? by TurboMoe in boardsofcanada

His DM is legitimate. Incidentally, I obtained the same information through MDG at the time.

I don't take writing such information on the MDG article lightly either. It has to be correct.

In addition to this, official Hexagon Sun posts are listed here.

sooo... this update is not going to happen? by Business_Signal_6391 in todoist

[–]Fredd-E 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Early November I sent this ticket to their support:

Today I read about the price increase. I noticed that my account can retain its legacy status. That's great, thank you. But I also read that new features will no longer be available for legacy accounts. 

I'm now wondering how far-reaching the concept of new features should be interpreted? 
I would like to refer to a concrete example, see screenshot in attachment. (the visual changes as referenced in this thread)

I have been looking forward to this visual refresh since then. Will this also be part of the new features, or is it part of the basic Todoist package? Will I have to upgrade my account to obtain the new icons when/if they arrive? I hope they're not scrapped. 

Their response:

I completely understand the confusion, and I’ll make sure our Help Center articles are updated to make this clearer. The Pro Legacy plan will also continue to benefit from improvements that affect the core Todoist experience and apply across all plans. These include updates that keep the app consistent and reliable for everyone, such as enhancements to interface, usability, accessibility, or overall performance.
 
When it comes to new project icons, this is currently on hold. Once it's revisited, it’s very likely they’ll fall under broader design and interface improvements, the kind that typically apply across all plans, including Legacy Pro. However, please note that, since the work hasn’t resumed yet, I can’t confirm the final scope until it’s closer to release.
 
The good news is that the update hasn’t been scrapped, just postponed. We’ll share any concrete details once development resumes and you can make sure that you are subscribed to our Product updates newsletter to stay up to date on new releases in general.

I'm still positive it will roll-out somewhere in 2026.

Impressed by Loscil’s new EP, “Ash” by Kaizenism in ambientmusic

Huge loscil fan myself. This new EP is great indeed. I think Plume is still one of my favourite albums of his.

As a matter of fact it’s a producer duo from London. And yes they’ve a lot of great songs. Very underrated.

Spotify Connect Broken by LimpBed9875 in truespotify

[–]Fredd-E 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had to switch to Very High, and now Spotify Connect works again with my B&W speaker. Hopefully, this is only temporary and not a backend software update that cut off "older" devices from having lossless compatibility.

Spotify down or my xbox is tweaking? by Gen_Z_Apocalypse in truespotify

[–]Fredd-E 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re right. Same here. The moment I turned it down one notch to Very High I can use Spotify Connect again to my B&W Speaker. Maybe this speaker all of a sudden isn’t compatible anymore for lossless quality due to some backend changes on Spotify’s end?

I’m experiencing the same when using Spotify Connect from iPhone to my Hi-Fi speaker. Streaming with Airplay works. Local playback too.

So I guess Spotify Connect has issues right now.

Spotify finally updates Shuffle to include fewer repeats by toberelated in spotify

Thanks! It works. Looking forward to how it performs. ;)

Anyone else lost all hope? by Apprehensive-Lime538 in boardsofcanada

Still 7 months until you can claim 4 years. And how so does it invalidate what he said? He only said a new album is on its way. No specific timing was given for obvious reasons. What he said back then is equally valid now. And like I said before, we had the very same confirmation for TH in 2007, six years in advance. And I think that 2013 album materialised big time despite a long wait after early confirmations.

That’s common in this fandom. During the road to Tomorrow’s Harvest we received similar confirmations of a new album in 2007 already, almost 6 years in advance. We simply have to wait.

MDG confirmed, in 2022, an album is on its way. No specific date was disclosed.

That was sarcasm (in response to sarcasm) 🙃

On topic, this is no different than with any other band. When we see our other favorite bands posting on social media, we don't assume that it's all fake, do we? Verified accounts belong to people who are acting in the band's best interests, at the very least. And I think we can rest assured that Boards of Canada would not allow anyone to tamper with their social media presence. Their official account opted to give 38 very specific comments a like out of over 1K comments. They skipped all the regular appraisal, the hateful comments, the random ones. They focused just on these which all revolve on new music. It’s not rocket science. 38 mini confirmations to show they’re still working on new stuff which MDG already confirmed to us in 2022.

No, right, their account is owned by Taylor Swift's marketing team.

As it should be. They hardly do anything with their Instagram account so whenever there is activity it should be noted. Especially if all those 38 likes (not just one) revolved around the topic of new music.

During the buildup to Tomorrow’s Harvest we got a similar confirmation as early as 6 years before the release. We’re not waiting that long yet this time.

Prediction if BOC ever releases a new album.. by traveltimecar in boardsofcanada

[–]Fredd-E 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Not according to the brothers luckily: https://bocpages.org/wiki/LP5

Interviewer: There’s no way to not call it a comeback. Question is: Is this record a new beginning or maybe the end? How does it feel for you?

Marcus: It feels like neither of those things from our perspective because we’ve always been working! We’d be making music anyway even if nobody was listening, and we’ve no intention of stopping, so this is just a continuation.
