Record Store Day just doesn’t work for me. I drove for an hour to a record store, and the one thing I wanted from RSD was gone.
I’m not sure what creating artificial scarcity really achieves, especially if it ends up in frustration and puts me off visiting the store in person.
I’ll wait until Monday and see if any of the independent British stores with online presences have copies left over.
I have a lot more to say, but I'll hold it for now and simply wonder aloud...
Which BigTech clouds are the "Lavender" & "Where's Daddy?" AI systems running on? What APIs are they using? Which libraries are they calling?
What work did my former colleagues, did I, did *you* contribute to that may now be enabling this automated slaughter?
(Also, content warning. This is some of the sickest shit I've ever read.)

@eternalstorms Hey Matthias! It's nice to find you over here!
My Macs had been slow picking up the update to ScreenFloat 2 and I've been really appreciating it, so I wanted to say thanks again. It's genuinely one of my essential Mac apps, and working on a Mac without it is not fun!

A pathetically weak post from @caseynewton

Despite laying out the myriad issues Substack has exhibited by aligning itself with Nazis, and reading like the inevitable conclusion will be that it is no longer viable for Platformer to remain there, it sputters out with a cowardly “let’s hope they do better”.
The only possible opinion to draw from this is that, like Substack itself, Casey is fine with the status quo, but wants to be seen paying lip service to decrying it.
The new kick drum module from Shakmat looks awesome. Can’t wait to get my hands on it! Battering Ram: https://youtu.be/mS8li9ISCSE
@atpfm please let me be the nth listener to suggest the name Apple Juice for their replaceable battery product.
@pcalc Do you have the ability to show metric prefixes like nano, pico, etc, and to switch between them?
The Befaco Hexmix VCA was a fairly involved build. I reckon there were 140 resistors, about 60 capacitors, 12 jacks and 18 pots. Ran out of time to do calibration and playing with it, but initial test showed I have a dodgy input jack on one channel. Gonna have to remedy that and then test the CV inputs as well. #BlinkSabbath
I'm Maurice Kelly, a software engineer who sold his soul to management. To redeem myself I try to make music, but in reality what I'm doing is making a big pile of synthesisers all in one place and changing how they are connected on a regular basis.
