the biggest thing that I think was missing from my experiences playing in rock groups in college was any time for us to just listen to the original recordings of the songs we were rehearsing, and just talk about what we were hearing, analyze them a little bit (not from a really technical standpoint, just enough to actually understand what we were playing), and just get a better sense of what everyone was playing and how it all fit together.

god. fuck. this music I made in 2013 would be so good if I could clean up the arrangement and mix somewhat. I should've just kept finishing making songs since then. I should start now. but I just... y'know.

hmmmmmmmm I want to get a kinky stream sketch from an artist who's streaming rn but I don't fuckin know what to get!!
I have a list of ideas but they're all either too big for a stream sketch, intended for some other artist, or just not the vibe I want rn.

it's hard to explain to people that software is a fundamentally communal activity because they're like "ohh you're a dev! you must be so smart!" and like. it literally does not matter how smart i am. none of this works at all unless we can collaborate across time and space.

cops on the fediverse, actual serious meta 

knight isn't a cop. don't call him a cop he's a galactic warrior. yeah sure he's tried to take over the world a few times but who hasn't in kirby and he's a reliable friend

fediverse : email :: ?? : gmail 

Oh, fediverse is like email? So we'll struggle to get something setup, use a variety of clients, then get inundated by spam with hodge-podge solutions. Okay.

Then a huge company will come along with an ad-supported instance that solves all the spam problems and everyone will need to federate with them to reach their users.

Then they'll start imposing requirements on all the other servers, or they'll defederate from your small-time servers.

Seems all too plausible.

mindblowing new discovery in Conway's Game of Life: any buildable pattern in Life can be constructed from the collision of 15 gliders.

the key principle: distance itself can be used to encode information. by determining the correct starting [x,y] coordinate for each glider, any future state of the Life universe can be created, with effectively unbounded complexity. 🤯
