can i present a concept to yall that had invaded my head recently
open source music.
so like, as someone who is a musician, i listen to tons of music as well, and i often find sounds or samples or techniques that i like in certain artists' songs and want to replicate in my musical style
but there's no information on how they did it or what DAWs/instruments they used
so like, hear me out. what if we kept some sort of "how i produced this track" type of log for everyone to see

Blogs are still a thing, and blogs have always been a thing. They didn't go anywhere. My technical blog is thriving.
People come back to old posts constantly.
Something I posted 10 months ago is still my top performing post. Social media posts are ephemeral & if something happens to your content - it's gone.
Host your own blog, control your content. My social media posts may max out at 500-1000 views but my page views have a consistent baseline of 30k/a month. And I haven't posted in a bit.
I don't think anyone in history has ever calmed down when told "calm down."
Yet, for some reason, this is still the first thing everyone says.
I find people confusing.
(To clarify: nothing's happening to me - I'm just people watching XD)
Analysis of water samples gathered by citizen scientists reveal a "worrying" find, an expert says.Richard Daniel (BBC News)
"You get more conservative when you get older" only really worked for the generations that got RICHER as they got older.
The real truth was always just "You get more selfish the more money you have".

In all our public spaces you shouldn't have to go more than a few blocks to
The bottom of the linked-to page has a good list of recommendations for encryption stuff.
(If I had some tool or place to remember links, I'd add this one. Unfortunately I don't have any such place - for some reason I never bookmark stuff in my browser, and even if I did I'd never remember to look at those bookmarks when I wanted to remember something. Oh well.)

The more you work with governments and multinational enterprises internationally, the more you realise that the ‘deep state’ and most popular conspiracy theories couldn’t possibly be true because most people are just incompetent.
Like *sure* they have the resources, but have you met half the people working at these levels?
And they can’t operate without staff, and people would just leak it all, not even intentionally.
I think of the idea of the Illuminati or some other underground network controlling the world, then I log into Azure DevOps and look at 1000 people’s efforts to deliver a fucking web service and I’m reassured that I’m correct, without a shadow of a doubt.
Results of LA’s 3-year basic income experiment were “transformative”. It gave people “time and space” to improve their lives by “landing better jobs, leaving unsafe living conditions and escaping abusive relationships”. https://www.latimes.Mastodon
“Study Finds Consumers Are Actively Turned Off by Products That Use AI”

> When AI is mentioned, it tends to lower emotional trust, which in turn decreases purchase intentions
Like I've been saying, we don't need the term "slop". Consumers have decided that "AI" in its entirety is bullshit. And, honestly, they’re right.
Researchers have found that including the words "artificial intelligence" in product marketing is a major turn-off for consumers.Victor Tangermann (Futurism)
Today is #EarthOvershootDay – the day we've exhausted all the natural resources that the Earth can produce for 2024.
We would need 1.7 Earths to sustain our current rate of consumption.
This is why our #EUGreenDeal aims to give more back to nature than we take away from it.
Every one of those things was said about me as a child/teen. Every. One. Of. Those. Things.
And at 56, I still haven’t completely recovered from the damage that those words caused.
“Words can’t hurt you IS A DAMNED LIE!”
🥺
Sorry. I’ll go back to my corner now.
My Blåhaj is getting a washing today so I was searching up at what temperature and such to wash him at...
...Second result I got was for my own blog post from last year when I washed him. I completely forgot I had written the exact washing instructions I had used previously there, but thanks to younger me for doing that.
