wow this blew up, listen to this song i wrote https://soundcloud.com/hikari_no_yume/beyond-the-stars-sc-7-version

once it started being more profitable to sell Cloud Services instead of little boxes with electronics in them, that's where it went wrong imo. they only put things in boxes for guitar players and hipsters now, and they're all just raspberry pi's or android tablets or something

‪i don't want a Cloud Subscription i want a metal box with extremely powerful dedicated silicon in it that can do whatever an equivalent box in 1999 could do, but like 100 times more of it. and with a cute little backlit monochrome LCD, cool buttons and a MIDI port‬

‪i gotta found a startup called Middle-aged Engineering that makes a €1000 box that has a literal terabyte of samples in ROM and like 16384-note polyphony. VCs please address your cheques to hikari_no_yume enterprises påhittsbolag, 123 ickexisterande gata, malmö sweden‬

lil #KitsuneTails sneak peak 👀

95% of fedi be like:

#Germany just passed a new law, called #SBGG, that grants #trans, #inter and #nonbinary people the right to change their official name and gender without much bureaucracy. It takes in effect at Nov 1.

What they need to do is request it as some office, wait 3 months, then request again and it's official.

#SelfID

This will replace an old law that in the past forced trans people to divorce or even undergo operation in some cases, just so they can change name + gender marker. This was ruled unenforcable a few years ago. And to this day, trans people have/had to get the approval of bureaucrats who claim to be psychological experts (they often aren't) in a long, demeaning and expensive (thausands of euros) procedure, where they ask EXTREMELY intrusive personal questions.

On Nov 1, it will be nuked forever.

OH: the existence of All Games Done Quick and Some Games Done Quick imply the existence of None Games Done Quick

Finally, a reference I can really use!

in case you ever need help telling what kind of drum and bass someone is talking about i made this handy little chart!

whenever a community tests ubi or free housing for the homeless the result is always "holy fuck this works incredibly well and costs less than existing solutions!" and then all the politicians do this

Blood for the blood god!

since talking about how kitsune tails has various keyboard presets and one is for those without arrows keys i have learned that more people lack (usable) arrow keys on their keyboard setups than i had previously assumed

“I must not work on weekends. Working on weekends is the mind-killer. Working on weekends is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face the JIRA tasks that arrive on weekends. I will permit them to pass over me and through me. And when they have gone past I will turn the inner eye to see their path. Where the work-need has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.
