David Amadorah, mix tapes, burning cds, so what is the modern equivalent of this? people sending spotify/youtube playlists?
The Sailor Dev@djlink Putting tape over the holes on a cassette tape so that you can record over it. Pressing record when the song you want comes on the radio. Handwritten labels. Those were the hands on times.

Chris@djlink I'm confused...why did Chloe have follow-up questions for the internet, but not her cousin, who, presumably, could have cleared up all the misunderstanding directly?
But then, if this is a misunderstanding, why put 'burn' in quotation marks? It implies Chloe did in fact understand the whole time and now I just don't know what to think about any of this.

Antonio Patriarca@antopatriarca @djlink i fear you may be right. What has become of the internet? *Sigh*.
Agreed though, everything is at least 16% cooler with lasers.

Superstars of the ApocalypseFunny thing about this post:
In an episode of "Lost Girl" Bo (a fae succubus) and Kenzi (her adorable criminal BFF) return to Bo's hometown to see her adopted mother, only to find that an evil spirit is murdering people.
They also find that a redneck ex-goth and some friends conjured that evil spirit with black magic, and one of the things they did to complete the ritual was set a CD of "Antichrist Superstar" by Marilyn Manson on fire.
TrèsFluke@djlink vinyl cuts were the worst, they wouldn't understand anyway.

I don't know what modern equivalent is other than playlists for self.
We never pirated or shared mix tapes or CDs.
We only made Audio CDs of our own recordings.
We did experiment with making Video CDs for a while (from live recorded tapes or Off air), but DVDs made those obsolete.
I made some mix Minidiscs, not to be confused with 8cm CDs (AKA mini CDs).

Wendroid πΊπ¦@djlink Iβll never tell. (quickly hiding ancient 45)
Raindrops and Roses@djlink Creating shared playlists on Spotify... which the crush can delete whenever they need "boundaries".
I think the point is that we live in an age where we can just delete memories and big parts of our lives when it makes us uncomortable instead of holding place for people and times that make up our lives. Discomfort is part of growing.

Petra van Cronenburg@djlink The modern equivalent? You don't have a human crush but talk love to a LLM which you prompt to add songs to your playlist.

@djlink not gonna lie, I kinda want to do, despite being born in 2002, but I'm not sure, how many would be able to play them...

The Turtle@djlink USB sticks. Then, after you break up, she can erase it and put gamesaves on it.
@the_turtle @djlink Truly a thoughtful gift. Great idea!

Frank ZimperThe technique actually goes back to the Romans. Nero did already burn ROM(e)
(yes, it was a German company, hence Rom instead of Rome or Roma)

@djlink Pirate witches must never be spoken.
Ambient Sponge@djlink I don't think there is any modern equivalent because nothing takes the passion and devotion of making anything now that a mixtape took back in the day.
Making a playlist takes five minutes.

Crovanian@djlink my partner and I basically live in separate music bubbles. Everything is so curated to your specific niche that besides the odd pop hit, there is no semblance of common ground to even entertain sharing a playlist. Weβve been together for over a decade and this is seriously *the* biggest issue, a refusal of compromise over opening up to either of our disparate tastes
