Been revamping and updating my previous #mixcloud uploads and adding info where needed onto # Musicbrainz .Was at #theperformingroom ahead of a new mix soon to be released this Friday. Be sure to give a follow https://mixcloud.com/goldmaster

Gosh! Is one of my early Singles already 10 years old! Never thought that me mucking around on a drum machine #trump would be back again 10 years later. https://goldmaster.site/discography/single/trump/

I had often theorised this. That #whatsapp so called "end to end encryption" was just marketing bs. That #facebook can theoretically still read your messages as nobody knows how the encryption has been added. Yet another reason to get with the times and use @signalapp From: @newsguyusa […]

RE: https://mastodon.social/@urlyman/115977362665776210 As someone who lived though those times, this is pretty much correct.

@realGulDukat will like the new @signalapp update which allows for pinning messages #attentionbajoranworkers

RE: https://social.vmbrasseur.com/@vmbrasseur/115922995190919975 They need to keep it simple and focus on fixing bugs. Stop trying to look like #chrome as people moved away from chrome due to how bloated it has got.

0% tariff on the yyyy-mm-dd date format aka ISO8601 From: @Natasha_Jay https://tech.lgbt/@Natasha_Jay/115921738057087462

Trying to test more. unsure if posting text causes author attribution to show up https://goldmaster.site/discography/dj-mix/first-ever-vinyl-only-dj-mix/

Pleased to say that the @musicbrainz #picard issue of not checking of existing named files at the destination when moving or copying additional files, has been resolved and merged. First time ever I've worked on such a thing after the issue happened to me […]

It was originally Office 365 which was created after Microsoft saw how successful Adobe creative cloud was. Then rebranded to Microsoft 365 now Microsoft 365 copilot. What's the next rebrand? It's no wonder people who just edit the occasional document are moving away to better and simpler […]

Favourite Star Trek series! From: @paulbowler https://mastodon.world/@paulbowler/115832085655104428

#merrychristmas all! Relaunched the website and got things more sorted. Here's to new things coming to light in 2026!

A new week has begun, and 2025 is getting closer to its end. The question we should all ask ourselves is this: what have we done, and what can we do, to make the Fediverse a better place? The Fediverse is for everyone. The Fediverse belongs to everyone. We should not wait for someone else to do […]

Suddenly reminded of an e-waste story: about 13 years ago I spotted a high end gaming PC at the tip. Less than two years old, pretty expensive component choices for the era. Took home, powered up. The CPU fan immediately ran 100%, and it froze mid-boot. OK, we know why it was treated as e-waste […]

You know its that time of year when you look at your #SpotifyWrapped buy the tracks on #BandcampFriday and then tag them into @musicbrainz

In a world of #ElonMusks be a #linustorvalds

RE: https://socel.net/@TheSpaceshipper/115616671614459067 This is one of those films that gives #hope about the future that things will work out in time. #hopeposting

What is it about #piercebrosnan as #jamesbond especially #goldeneye that seams to age like wine? I remember when it was 20 years old and here we are and it's now 30 years old. Even on another watch, you pick out new things and make new connections.

We already have a #vine reboot it's called @loops

Whoa! While #whatsapp enshitifies, @signalapp adds new features that are actually useful such as #polls and also can share location! #DeleteWhatsAppInstallSignal

RE: https://xoxo.zone/@Ashedryden/115531709268939075 As someone who works in #socialmedia and with a degree in #digitalmedia the number of times I say exactly this to clients and other groups. They believe that getting onto the latest trends is a shortcut to that sweet engagement. In reality […]

Watching the #worldseries2025 and to see #bluejays lose in extra innings is absolutely heartbreaking considering it was close to 4am in the uk. I got into #baseball due to #startrek and needing a break from IT work. To follow a team and see a team that wasn't even much known about to being in […]

You can tell when the #uk is decending into #authoritarianism first with the so called #OnlineSafetyAct now #ddgitalid and suddenly #imgur which is what's used for hosting photos of computer builds and diagrams is suddenly not available. Many people like myself had been warning about #privacy […]

80 years ago we fended off #fascism 80 years later, an unelected head of state is welcoming a fascist.

The MMR vaccine is perfectly safe. Measles is not. MMR vaccine- studied for more than 50 years. Less than 1 in 1,000,000 chance of allergic reaction. No chance of death or permanent injury. NO evidence of increased risk of autism. Measles- 1 in 5 will die without hospitalization. 1 in 500 will […]

Congrats to @ZackPolanski on winning the green party leadership. I want a #startrek future and one way or another, we're gonna get it!

#putin could end the war in # Ukraine today if he really wanted to. It's very simple. He just pulls out of Ukraine. That's it. That's all he has to do.

@neil can also add @thegreenparty spaces forum to the In memoriam page on #OnlineSafetyAct it was forced to close due to rising costs and the new law coming into effect

"Violent crime is up in Washington, DC" says man who pardoned the largest group in history that committed violent crimes in Washington, DC.

For those who have brought physical cds this #BandcampFriday I have put together a video that shows how to scan and archive cd packaging using @GIMP including the discs themselves and upload the scans to @musicbrainz https://youtu.be/qSOyWkhnndg

Trying to rank and pick for the @thegreenparty elections is bloody hard! They are all good. Best of luck to everyone standing.

So now it's possible to post at the same onto 4 platforms using @openvibe and is my first Nostr post as well. Good to see rss support but adding 3rd party rss support such as with @#feedly would be a bonus.

Dj Mix from @performing_room is now available with details and download links on @musicbrainz to listen and stream as well as use for any future video projects as the music is from @NoCopyrightSounds please ensure you add a link to musicbrainz page and attribution of Music provided by […]

**Privacy is a marathon, not a sprint.** It's common to be overwhelmed by the constant attacks on privacy we read about every day, and to burn out trying to fix every problem all at once. This is by the attackers' design, of course. Big tech companies and governments want to paralyze you with […]

@openvibe could add better crossposting support using @fed.brid.gy essentially, the app would follow the bridge on bluesky and Mastodon and then the app would just automatically repost from your bridged profile onto your main profile rather than doing a screenshot.

Just found out about this website that can state how close we are to the world of #startrek From: @AlZheimer https://framapiaf.org/@AlZheimer/114904591811699810

More work has been done on #IM2SMS #android#IM2SMSapp. This time being able to preview individual and group chats. No apk or such yet as I have no eta yet of when this will be completed

Well, my website has been fully updated from #wordpress to @gohugoio which is much easier to maintain and update. Something I had wanted to work on since 2021. Not only that but I have created a @nodejs script that can pull discography data from @musicbrainz and display it on the website. Theme […]

An open source, self-hostable music platform will soon allow people on the #Fediverse to buy music and support artists. Here's why it's a big deal.

Get all sorts of things coming into #GoldmasterIT this 4GB (yes that is correct) was made in 1999, and is from a number of old machines a client wanted safely disposing off.

It's amazing how one can put together a basic website design using #hugo and create a theme using #lechat as well as VScode which has #githubcopilot built in and preview changes in real time. Got a decent navigation header done. Years ago, that would have taken me days to do. Now cut down to […]

Lessons learned from contributing to #musicbrainz Use an import tool whenever possible They exist for Bandcamp Spotify etc Cover art has to be done after creating album Use cover art download script which makes it 2 clicks to automatically get images. Works if album has link to Bandcamp etc […]

Hit 60,000 scrobbles on #lastfm https://last.fm/user/Goldmaster But then I do listen and archive alot of music.

Really like the design and layout of @indiewebadmin gives a similar design to #bluesky hope @Mastodon#blueskycould adopt a similar layout.

Don't know if we make it to then, but we have something to look forward to at least! First Contact Day concerns the flight of the warp-capable Phoenix and the subsequent first interaction between humans and Vulcans. Little known fact: April 5th was chosen […] [Original post on mastodon.social]

Thought it was april fools #skype shutting down. Not surprised as it's hardly used due to the rise in better more reliable options such as @signalapp Have fond memories of using it to chat to my relatives on the other side of the world which was never possible before. I remember when it was […]

Still blows my mind I can watch a #baseball game in the uk, that's being played across the pond. When I was younger, it seamed impossible to watch an obscure game in the uk unless you had crazy money or tech.
