Please enjoy this photo of our special boy. He just had a very expensive tummy ache and had to go to the vet. No thoughts behind those eyes...

And they wonder why I subject myself to the "horrors" of Linux. Trying to submit audition recordings for my students and this shit happens. Guess I'll use my personal device. Literally never encountered an issue in Linux that couldn't be solved in less than 5 minutes with a web search.

"Some believe it is only great power that can hold evil in check, but that is not what I have found. It is the small everyday deeds of ordinary folk that keep the darkness at bay. Small acts of kindness and love.' -J.R.R. Tolkien The Hobbit, pub. 1937

Can someone goad Elon into lying about being a really proficient musician so I have something else to be mad about? I've acclimated to this level of fed-up and I need a fix soon.

Chat GTP's version of the circle of fifths. This has to be the most amazing music-related image I've seen it produce!

Unearthed by PanMan on our Discord server. THANK YOU for this 😂

Surely our consumer protection agencies will do something about this... right?

Imagine if HP said you had to install an HP app on your computer, and every time you wanted to print a document in Microsoft Word, you had to have Word transfer that document to the HP app, then the HP app would be the only thing allowed to actually send the print job off.

David Lynch on inspiration in diners.
"I used to go to Bob's Big Boy restaurant just about every day from the mid-seventies until the early eighties. I'd have a milk shake and sit and think. There's a safety in thinking in a diner. You can have your coffee or your milk shake, and you can go off into strange dark areas, and always come back to the safety of the diner."

With all the Facebook news going on right now, it's a great time to review some of its wonderful "achievements" when concerning free speech. This video is a full documentary, but at least watch the chapters on Elections and Free Basics. It was the final nail in the FB/Meta coffin for me.

Facebook was a godsend for me when it first came out. In the video, I discuss many of the twists and turns that occurred early on and how they affected me and my friends. Then I begin digging into wider developments. Enjoy!
