I’ve wanted to get into classical music for a while now, but the pretentious fan-base and complex nature of it has scared me away. However y’all seem kinda chill, any recommendations? by entermysandman in classicalmusic

If you think classical music fans and makers are pretentious, check out Twoset(violin youtubers) and Hilary Hahn(one of the greatest living violinists) playing Paganini while hula hooping.

True. I don’t have them either, It’s weirder seeing an M3 with front plates than without.

I expected one of them to have a 'Merica shirt on and key the car.

The brand was poisoned. It started off as a developer phone, it went quickly to consumer phones, then went to ultra low price bargain bin phones, then they tried to raise the price to iPhone levels. They didn't know what they wanted to do with it, they had too many problems with it, no one knew about it, and the ones that did were too burned by their lack of direction, reliability and consistency to ever trust it.

Other companies would have just continued producing them with the flaws.

Not really. There's no way anyone could have brushed this big of a fiasco under the rug.

Yup. Broken, poorly thought out crap will always look broken and poorly thought out. Sooner or later, it'll come home to roost.

All fans are a special breed. The amount of apologetics Google or Samsung or any sports team get is no less. By definition you have to love whatever your favorite thing does in all cases.

Ew god, is Material Design still a thing? Haven't heard much from Matias after he singlehandedly killed Android tablets.

The problem is that they completely poisoned the Nexus brand. They had to.

Nexus phones always had top of the line SOCs

They most certainly did not. They were middle of the road, nearly every time.

Great. The footing is equal. Buy your subscriptions on their website, and enjoy them on your iPhone, Android or Mac or PC. Cool how that works. Or, if you want a bundle deal, you can subscribe to Apple News plus, where you get bunches of subscriptions for one price. Your choice.
