Which issue is this?
― Leeena Dunham (Leee), Monday, 25 March 2013 04:25 (eleven years ago) link
style issue (unbelievably)
― Esteban Buttiérrez (Autumn Almanac), Monday, 25 March 2013 04:27 (eleven years ago) link
Still haven't gotten out. T︵T
― Leeena Dunham (Leee), Monday, 25 March 2013 04:45 (eleven years ago) link
It, not out.
quincie you know you can use something like readability to get long web articles onto your kindle
― caek, Monday, 25 March 2013 14:02 (eleven years ago) link
the problemo is that the online archive isn't in standard Web format, it is in a stupid format that I can't flow into another format.
N/A, is it really the case that with the Kindle edition, the old issue is DELETED when the week's new edition is delivered? Like, I don't have access to last week's issue anymore? WTfuckingF?
― quincie, Monday, 25 March 2013 15:25 (eleven years ago) link
no it should be in your archives somewhere
― congratulations (n/a), Monday, 25 March 2013 15:26 (eleven years ago) link
that is not the case, back issues stay til you delete them (and even then you can redownload them if you wanted).
― balls, Monday, 25 March 2013 15:27 (eleven years ago) link
Oh wait I see it now, under "Periodicals: Back Issues". God I am dumb.
― quincie, Monday, 25 March 2013 15:28 (eleven years ago) link
I promise not to pollute this thread with my digital dumbness anymore. So, what is everyone looking forward to this week?
ah right, you want to print stuff in the archive. i misunderstood. i meant you can kindlify the regular free articles posted on the web.
― caek, Monday, 25 March 2013 15:32 (eleven years ago) link
u dont get the web archives included w the kindle subscription cause u do w ipad
― lag∞n, Monday, 25 March 2013 15:33 (eleven years ago) link
I don't think so?
― quincie, Monday, 25 March 2013 16:15 (eleven years ago) link
oh OK I do get the web archives with the kindle subscription (this is a relatively recent development, apparently). But I would like to figure out how to get more than the past 3 issues of the kindle version, so I can read those and not the dumb web archive format.

btw i mentioned the horace mannl sex abuse from this week's article over the weekend, it is v good. you kind of think there are a bunch of lolita parallels but then they fall apart once you think harder
― k3vin k., Monday, 25 March 2013 17:21 (eleven years ago) link
yeah theyre not gonna give you back issues kindle formated lest you pay for them, at least thats the deal w the ipad vers
― lag∞n, Monday, 25 March 2013 18:13 (eleven years ago) link
iPad app is so great
― ❏❐❑❒ (gr8080), Monday, 25 March 2013 18:27 (eleven years ago) link
i could quibble but it is p great
― lag∞n, Monday, 25 March 2013 18:30 (eleven years ago) link
hm guess i never realized that the ipad-formatted archives only go back as far as oct 2010, which makes sense i guess
― ❏❐❑❒ (gr8080), Monday, 25 March 2013 19:41 (eleven years ago) link
yeah they start when they started ipaddin'

horace mann abuse piece in today's issue was a really good read... like p much anything concerning 20th century NYC private school it made me think of catcher in the a lot
― ❏❐❑❒ (gr8080), Monday, 25 March 2013 21:05 (eleven years ago) link
yes that was good. tim minchin piece was garbage.
― congratulations (n/a), Monday, 25 March 2013 21:07 (eleven years ago) link

normally I am OK with Sedaris, but this week's piece was a must-miss.
― quincie, Monday, 25 March 2013 23:18 (eleven years ago) link
did the tim minchin piece describe him as garbage?
― caek, Monday, 25 March 2013 23:59 (eleven years ago) link
The history of the fork is so awful, so obviously insular and self-obsessed that I keep checking the byline to see if it's an Adam Gopnik piece.

Dapper Dan piece was interesting, informative - a corner of fashion I had no idea about before
― Raymond Cummings, Tuesday, 26 March 2013 02:46 (eleven years ago) link
i had never thought abt those outfits not being real gucci or whatever, tho obvs if i had it wouldve been obvious, cool piece, a bit of a hagiography, but cool none the less
― lag∞n, Tuesday, 26 March 2013 02:48 (eleven years ago) link
Yeah, Kramer's personal histories about cooking in her Tuscan farmhouse or whatever usually bug me, so I skipped to where she more directly discussed the book, which was more rewarding.

i love the look and feel of the nyer ipad app but i hate how every issue is like 180mb and you can't download them in the bg
― zero dark (s1ocki), Tuesday, 26 March 2013 04:57 (eleven years ago) link
it would also be cool if you had the option to scroll through the longer articles instead of being locked in to the static page layout.
also would be cool if you could change the type size (i discovered that larger print makes reading at the gym way easier after accidentally buying the large-print edition of lost city of z)
― ❏❐❑❒ (gr8080), Tuesday, 26 March 2013 13:08 (eleven years ago) link
yeah exactly... you can't even select/quote text, let alone change text size, cuz i think they're just flat images
― zero dark (s1ocki), Tuesday, 26 March 2013 13:16 (eleven years ago) link
it's not good.
what i dont get is sometimes it does download in the background sometimes no whats up w that
― lag∞n, Tuesday, 26 March 2013 13:39 (eleven years ago) link
that's probably to prevent ppl sharing stuff that's behind the paywall-- u can't select/quote text out of the print edition either think abt it

I sent the dapper Dan piece to a friend as an email w/ 20 separate screenshots as attachments-- click "view all images" in gmail and they load just like a webpage m/l #lifehack

hey fao whoever was asking for recommended reads from the last year, i remembered there was that issue with the two kinda environmental articles, one about geoengineering which was really good & another about "has a guy found the answer to our energy solution" which was momentarily exciting & then a buzzkill. just fwiw.
― schlump, Wednesday, 27 March 2013 19:14 (eleven years ago) link
yeah those were both good
