Scientists have been trying to understand the vocalizations of birds—and discovering that the animals have intellectual abilities far greater than most people had imagined.

Accessibility is an area Mixxx has struggled with for a long time, and as an all-volunteer project we have struggled to recruit devs to address it. If you have a passion for accessibility and are interested in a chance to have a big impact, hit us up.

Basically traps AI crawlers and sends them down an "infinite maze" of static files with no exit links, where they get stuck and thrash around for months. Once trapped, the crawlers can be fed gibberish data, aka Markov babble, which is designed to poison AI models arstechnica.com/tech-policy/...

Right now, we can all use some bop in our lives. I love the intro: “You probably don’t have any use for bop."

So, in the *inverse* of all the music tech that's convinced we need it when we don't have a use for it, this one is humble and we do! Free, fun, friendly, fresh:
bop: free, fast, friendly, fun music stuff for Pd, old CPUs and RasPi - CDM Create Digital Music
It's free, it's fast, it's fun, it's bop for the free Pure Data Vanilla. It runs on old computers. It runs on Raspberry Pi. "You probably don't have any use for bop," its developer says humbly - but w...

I know the onslaught is overwhelming right now, but it's important to have the details on this so that we can help fight back. I mean both inside and outside the USA, as these campaigns are globalized. And we are not whole as a music and music tech community without our trans friends and colleagues.
1. Yesterday, Trump released a broad anti-trans executive order that could have extreme impacts on transgender people's lives if implemented.

There has been much discussion of what it actually does.

In my latest piece, I go line by line to explain it.

The plan was always to flood the zone with shit.

Not everyone can respond to every outrage. That's on purpose. But no need to get mad at someone for focusing on stuff *you* don't think is important. Let everyone focus on what they want to focus on.

Mixxx is refreshing. Not only is it #opensource but it runs on every OS (including Linux *and* RasPi), and open, community support - with JavaScript mappings - gives you support for any DJ controller. They keep adding to that support, as in the new version. More: cdm.link/mixxx-2-4-2/
