Yup, fucking captured it!

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!

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/

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

Ah, I missed that detall! https://github.com/suitenumerique/docs

Try an uncensored version, because everyone knows Communists hate Hexadecimal /s

Yeah agreed - anything not FOSS is just setting up another bad situation waiting to happen

Meanwhile the Trump administration has asked Australian academics to justify that their US-funded research lines up with Conservative values

These people idolize Henry Ford, so they should double check the history on how he tried and failed spectacularly at the same thing: https://www.theguardian.com/cities/2016/aug/19/lost-cities-10-fordlandia-failure-henry-ford-amazon

Yeah this is important to note.

It would be super helpful if Reddit showed the date a sub was banned so we could determine if this was a recent thing or not. https://www.reddit.com/r/suppressed_news/ is still up

according to the linked article, it sounds like it is for performance reasons.

I do suspect Qi is a useful abstract concept for focusing and activating parts of our physiology. But while it feels like a single thing ("energy"), it is more a very complex bunch of processes the same way our consciousness feels like a single thing, but is actually a very complex bunch of processes.

I'm just going to use this opportunity to publicly grieve again for Winamp fake becoming open-source: https://hackaday.com/2024/10/16/winamp-taken-down-too-good-for-this-open-source-world/

Ai2 make as much of their training data available as possible: https://huggingface.co/datasets/allenai/OLMoE-mix-0924

Appreciate it! The last audiobook I picked up from Libro is Kara Swisher's "Burn Book". Not sure if it's your thing, but was totally worth it for understanding more personal context around the big Tech CEOs from the last 25 years.
