Gosh, I love the colour scheme of Rezz. On one hand, so dark and mysterious but the bright accents stand out so well and make sure you don't miss the fluffy derg.

😻 I mean, maybe snuggling a cute derg soon...

I kinda get that whole looking at a musician and saying "oh it looks effortless" when looking at the recent vid I put out... it was deffo not effortless (I learned that song yesterday and it took me a good hour to get a moderately ok take); the fingers aren't necessarily like going nuts. there was a lot of I guess "cross-fingering" and the scale was odd and the take was as fast as it was because I was running out of patience

BUT, that's the whole idea of music, it's a snapshot of how you're feeling at the time, the mirror image - how people enjoy it, or interpret it is not up to you.

still, love the idea of reaching into the rich tapestry of folk and bringing it to the furry crowd, as much as I feel apprehension in this instance of given y'know recent tensions & the source material. I think it's personally irrelevant, culture is culture, and tunes are tunes and what's fundamental is the beauty of that particular melody and the rich history in it, glad to share it ❀️

I'm arguably overthinking a dumb fox on the internet playing a dumb instrument but if anyone's going to overthink something it's going to be me.

It was a lovely piece!

And as someone that’s *attempted* to play the accordion in the past, I’ve personally zero thoughts about it being effortless.


Ya' know, it's not a bad way to get along. :)

Up in the tree, Archer is lying on a branch like he has all the time in the world.

Maybe he’s thinking about life’s big questions. Maybe he just came up with a joke so good he’s making himself laugh. Either way, he looks like someone with great wisdom… or at least someone who wants you to think that.

@DeltaWye I feel like you need to explain this one, I'd expect you'd normally use a synchroscope for that.
DeltaWye mastodon (AP)

You can use the brightness of a set of lightbulbs to verify synchronism. Each bulb is across the same phase letter on the two systems.

For a three phase system once the voltages, frequency, and rotation on the two sets of three phases match, the bulbs will all dim and then go out. Then you can sync.

"If you were a product person at IBM or Xerox, so you make a better copier or computer. So what? When you have monopoly market share, the company's not any more successful.

So the people that can make the company more successful are sales and marketing people, and they end up running the companies. And the product people get driven out of the decision-making forums, and the companies forget what it means to make great products. The product sensibility and the product genius that brought them to that monopolistic position gets rotted out by people running these companies that have no conception of a good product versus a bad product."

y'know, i always thought that folks such as Steve Jobs were predicting the future of the tech industry decades before such things we deal with now were commonplace. I've never been much of an Apple guy outside of their vintage products from the 80s and 90s, but I really do think that Apple during the 80s, 90s and 00s had actual products that could last for generations, with the only real things that go wrong being capacitors, PRAM batteries or brittle plastic after a couple of decades. these days it's like you buy an Apple device and it works, but only in the sense that it'll work really well for a little bit, then after a while, it'll still work, but it'll be knackered to hell and back.

@emilvolk Jobs experienced the enshittification firsthand. It’s why he was forced out the first time. He knew how to play the game and politics with the money people eventually.

About to take a shower, having been clambering around in my loft again.

It's definitely one of those "three solid points of contact at all times" lofts, not the wimpy floorboarded type; if you imagine all the plasterboard not being there, so between the joists it's a straight drop into the room (or stairwell!) below, that would probably inspire the correct amount of caution.

Pippin friendica
At least I have confirmed a cable route I'm planning! Found a couple of cables which go up to the loft inside one of the wardrobes, across to the front of the house, then down beside the stack pipe behind both the showers to a little boxed-in section next to the front door. They are part of the (non-functional) alarm system the house came with and I've confirmed they're the same at both ends by tying some string on where they poke out of the wall in the hall, pulling the wires from the loft, and verifying the string has been partly pulled into the wall. Now I can get some longer string and, while pulling out those redundant wires, I can pull through a cord to let me get whatever cabling I want through in future. First one going in will be ethernet from the study (just next to the front door so it'll be an easy drill-hole from that boxed-in bit) to the loft, down through that wardrobe, out into the loft over the utility room and into the little 6U network cabinet I'm planning to stick on the wall. πŸ™‚ Then there will be another one from the cabinet to a new hole I'll drill in the plasterboard above the stairs to hang a ceiling access point there. Another one to my office (one of the bedrooms repurposed - handily just the other side of the wall from the utility room loft). And probably others! There's a bunch of power sockets I want to add too when I get round to it.

So, I wanted to know what the music from this is (turns out the search term is "POKÉDANCE".) and I ended up on this take on it! The8BitDrummer's channel is pretty good, nice and positive, and fun.

I'm so glad I found Archive of Our Own and posted my (ongoing) Indigo Park fanfic there. Even after a few weeks of not having time to work on the next chapter, I still get occasional emails, like the one I got a few moments ago, saying things like "a guest left kudos on Trains of Thought" and it's a little mood bump every time that happens β€” even more so when someone leaves an actual comment.

Pippin friendica
There's another fanfic there, Behind the Screen which I've been following since it was just a couple of chapters long which I love (it's now up to 166k words, pretty much novel length, and is supposedly going to be four times the length by the time it's finished). I keep wanting to do an audiobook-style reading of it but I have no idea if I should ask permission from the author first or just do it, or what. I do find it weird that for someone who doesn't like their own voice I do quite like reading/narrating stories and want to get better at it.

The fact that the majority of computer users have only 2 real options for browsers, Chrome and Firefox, and neither of them now takes a stand against selling user data, is the biggest selling point on us needing new options.

Google should have never been allowed to have as much browser share as it does.

Firefox should hear from every user that one of the main reasons we use their browser is they didn't sell our data.

And we need to support other browser makers. This needs to end.

This #FursuitFriday as I'm ill. Harks back to when I was ill at Scotia, but wanted to go suit for the group photo.

So Toothless Kigu was deployed. As was Tootless plushie.

Only annoyance, I didn't have my badge by @blue with me to set it off perfectly!

Well, I've completed watching Disenchantment. Really really good β€” I need to watch it again. (And I'm not just saying that because of Jasper.)

Derek, a light-blue-skinned amphibian-boy with stubble and a coronet, has one hand on Jasper's head, holding him back.  Jasper is a smaller anthropomorphic bear-boy who is growling and trying to claw at Derek. A frame of 2D hand-drawn animation.

"Oh," I said, looking down at the frail vessel I had inhabited all my life. "Right."

COME

"Do you remember," I asked as we walked, "everyone you come for?"

YES

"Fondly?"

I DO NOT JUDGE. AS A RULE, I SPEND LITTLE TIME WITH PEOPLE AS THEY LIVE

"No, but you spend some time with them after, like now."

@tilton I support and install medical software.

Windows is an absolute goddamn travesty these days and it’s indeed zero different at hospitals.

I want fucking out. I can’t take this shit anymore. I could rant for hours the shit I run into due to MS’ enshittification. Why though. Sigh. I just need escape from it. I can’t touch or support Windows-related shit anymore. It triggers me so gd hard now.

I like accordions and I wish my personality is just that at a face value you can enjoy in isolation but I also like trans rights and I also really like LGBT and I really hate the Napoleonic Imperialism imbued by modern political movements and while I'm at it I really like the condemnation of fascism and all precursors to alienating your community and anyone to be honest, we are all humans except for me I'm a fox
