Apparently Patton did both vocals and ‘electronics’, but, as zecg mentioned, not on this track.

Confused as to how Patton figures in there, because I don’t hear anything from him. This seems identical to the album version. Is there something wrong with my headphones?

I mean, as much as I like Aphex’s little exchange with Stockhausen (iirc), wherein he claimed that his music is danceable as opposed to Stockhausen’s highbrow stuff, I don’t really think that majority of idm is dance music. Likewise, most punk doesn’t need that clarification except when it’s explicitly dance-punk, like some of Sexy Sushi.

I typically choose if I want to dance only after hearing the music initially (gotta say, the vacuum cleaner figures nowhere in that). And also, who knew that one of my favorite artists Mutaforia Lili is fit for house chores.

Opened Wikipedia to make sure I remember it right that the ladies from tATu must be around forty now and probably can’t sell the schoolgirl image anymore. Had a chuckle at seeing that the band broke up in 2011, but had one-off reunions in 2012, 2013, 2014, 2016, 2022, 2023, and apparently a longer one since the last year. Looks like all these times they performed just a couple of their biggest hits from twenty-five years ago, which must’ve been increasingly awkward.

Anyway, their biggest contribution to my musical collection is the cover of ‘Not Gonna Get Us’ by Boney Nem with the pretty memorable change of sound from their previous albums.

I have Windows 10 for games, but it’s firewalled so hard that it can’t check for updates or do any of its other shady stuff. I can’t even install components like WSL, because that works through svchost, the single executable doing too much.

I’m using Simplewall for that. The prohibitions for MS shenanigans are a couple checkboxes in the menu.

You could look into devices supported by Rockbox, and the features of that firmware. I’m guessing it can sync files from Linux.

Rockbox is the open-source.

Use–mention distinction

Pretty easy to understand, but still somehow eludes most people.

Interesting. Because I’m completely useless with lyrics-based music like mainstream pop, rap, country, ‘singer-songwriter’ and such. But I won’t be able to tell you that without listing every artist and song whose music I don’t grok. Unless I just list the genres, of course.

I’m a big fan of bass overall, so I definitely support the bassist in most of their endeavor, just not this time when he’s playing a six-minute noodly-ish solo. Perhaps I would enjoy it more if I knew music theory and Bach’s original composition.

Bill Laswell and Jah Wobble are my favorite musicians.

I also had the opportunity to buy a five-string bass pretty cheaply, but then I noticed it’s fretless. There’s no way I could do anything good with a fretless bass.

It’s just saying that many posts don’t have a language specified. So if you disable ‘undetermined’, all those posts disappear from your feed. It’s best to select ‘undetermined’ and whatever languages you read.

Why do I have to read ten reposts of everything happening in the US if it changes nothing and the comments are always the same? How is every little US thing ‘important’ to the rest of the world?

Let’s consult my feed:

Minneapolis hotel worker fired over ‘doxxing’ of ICE agents

Oh my God! Hotel worker fired in Minneapolis? What has the world come to? How will leaders of the countries respond to this issue?

Hugo Boss didn’t design shit, as he wasn’t a designer and his company wasn’t in fashion design until after his death.

a ton of shadow banning going on too I think

No need to guess: if you open the parent comment in an incognito tab, you often won’t find your reply under it.

This typically depends on whether the subreddit has external links or links to ‘social media’ banned (where the latter includes YouTube). But also there’s apparently a simple slider setting adjusting the severity of automatic moderation, wherein anything that could be remotely construed as even vaguely offensive will get your comment auto-hidden at the higher settings.

They’re saying that if everyone does hiring like this, they won’t be hired anywhere.

(Hopefully you mean that interviews aren’t normally conducted like this.)

Sounds like it uses electricity all day and night long instead of just while bringing the water to a boil.

I much prefer this kind of kettle, because I can see the damn water instead of having to peek at a small crack of transparent plastic. Plus glass kettles are quieter, metal ones really liven up the whole apartment with the noise.

Yeah, anything that gets a rise out of the creators of Go is good in my book.

The guy still thinks computers have 64 KB of memory and we need to economize on the length of identifiers. Nothing he says or does should be taken seriously in this day.

He’d probably like an appreciation note if it was written with all vowels taken out.
