bro what are you talking about

I mean, in my experience meat eaters usually claim that vegan diet is expensive, so I guess it's a win in that regard, lol.

What are they even on about?? They don't like you recorded bird noises or what?

You should probably just watch the video. I don't think he says that it makes the instruments bad. They just lose their 'mystique' and become 'normal' instruments after a while. He still praises them for being innovative.

Take back control from the machine, I say

Yeah, but some of these interfaces obfuscate the functions to an absurd amount. I think a point he makes is that keeping large parts of how the instrument works opaque isn't enough to make it special. For some that is the whole "magic" and once the novelty fades it's just a poorly labelled gimmick.

Stupid sexy Zohran

It's very akin to many manufacturers of niche specialized tools. Getting away with mediocre products because nobody else really does it. I'm glad I have the Disting mk4, but I wish my O&C would completely shadow it's capabilities.

Not saying I love China's new influencer policy, but seeing this I also can't say that I don't get it.

Auf die Beweggründe der Proteste wird natürlich wieder nicht eingegangen. Stattdessen werden sie als antisemitisch angedeutet. Die Proteste sind Ausdruck öffentlicher Empörung über ethnische Säuberung und Völkermord. Das nicht einmal in einem Halbsatz zu erwähnen ist bewusste Verleitung.

Please usher in the era of music gear demos that go "..aand this knob controls the value. Anyways, here's 15 minutes of 'fuck this system why are you just sitting there go out and resist' demo music."

I see The Onion is stepping up their game to still be distinguishable from reality.

Very interesting and disappointing! I must admit, I haven't heard of job guarantee as a policy consideration at all. How, in your estimation, does it compare to UBI? Both in effect and feasibility within the current economic (and political) climate?

From the moment on where you were on Destiny's podcast I had a slight lingering fear to hear about your take on the issue (I know that podcast is about 'building bridges', but still). So this was a relief for me. In retrospect, there is no way you wouldn't see it for what it is.

Tbh I don't know too much about bsky. But it is still venture capital backed though. In this industry that means we are the product that, at some point, will be used to make a profit. And they have the ownership over the protocol to do so, I think. I'm hoping for the best, but I'm pessimistic.

Damn, so this is how I learn about this. I already have to put up with the fact that I can only contact some relatives via whatsapp. I really hate how we have allowed venture capital to host almost all of our remote interactions. I swear it's only a matter of time until bluesky is burned too.
