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)

Calm down!!

Researchers at Univ Suffolk say "a reservoir of disease" is being created after discovering #bacteria naturally occur in #rivers are becoming resistant to #antibiotics due to the impact of #sewage. The university's team has isolated and analysed 500 strains of bacteria and found significant levels of #antibioticresistance.
"We're needlessly adding #pathogenic and virulence genes to bacteria found in the environment, and that could be creating a reservoir of #disease."

Normalize raising the corporate tax rate to cover the cost of all public programs. That is true trickle down economics.

"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".

I'm watching Tulsa repeat Portland's Bad Old Days of the 90s... which is funny because I'm watching Portland repeat Portalnd's bad old days of the 1970s with fucking two-way cycleways with just a single island curb, which being concrete on asphalt means a city bike hitting it at an angle will push the fucking curb out of place...

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.

It really seems like most conspiracy theories are built around the idea that there's a lot less chaos to the world and existence than there really is. Things must have some sort of orchestration or underpinning "plan", they can't just be the reality that no one knows what the hell they're doing. They need to feel like SOMEONE knows what they're doing, even if it's doing something the conspiracy theorist dislikes.

Jonty Wareing mastodon (AP)
@yagfox It just constantly says that the bus is wet, smelly, and has takeaway boxes under some seats. It is correct 90% of the time.

“Study Finds Consumers Are Actively Turned Off by Products That Use AI”

https://futurism.com/the-byte/study-consumers-turned-off-products-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.

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.

My Blåhaj is getting a washing today so I was searching up at what temperature and such to wash him at...
