All the good stuff still exists (and there is more of it, in fact). But it is no longer the mainstream. The popular discourse is always around what is happening on the major platforms, but there is constantly great creativity happening over at Neocities and MakerTube, just to name a couple platforms. Hell, even YouTube and TikTok have amazing stuff happening on them. It’s just not the top-viewed content.

One of the best things you can do is stop using algorithmic recommendations for a few weeks. Download the Unhook plugin for YouTube, etc. Then you actually choose the internet media you are exploring.

I listened to the whole audiobook in a day - one of the best books I’ve purchased recently. As someone who has been very much into the techno-futurists over the last 15 years, I would suggest this book, along with Manu Saadia’s Trekonomics for a much needed reality-check.

Love it! I’ve saved a copy, because I think it’ll make future explanations a lot easier. Thanks!

Thanks for the awesome comments everyone - I’m reading all of them 🙏

Initially I did yeah, but eventually learned that different people use it differently. So good practice to never assume sarcasm through emojis unless you know the person well

Yeah ReNoise is great! Though since I’ve transitioned to a full-FOSS workflow, I now use OpenMPT as my main, and Furnace for Game Boy specific tracks.

I’ve listed my main tools here if you’re interested: https://johnoestmannmusic.com/tooling/

The thought is still appreciated haha 🙏

Oh hey - thanks for the share!

Will do! Wait, you know flight_school from somewhere? :o

As much as I love what they’re doing, tieing an OS to a specific region via name seems like the opposite of Open Source values… Then again, I suppose it could just be forked into a more generalized version
