Claude charged me 1.5 credits for considering my user frustration 🥹 (wanted a fix for my server-side code and got a client-side solution instead... PFFFFF.)

A very happy birthday to Nexus 6 replicant, and all around mad lad, Pris:

I find only few things more emblematic of the closed platform mindset than meta apps mercifully offering to open a link in an “external browser”. it’s my system browser, fuckwits, only external to your anti-social network prison.

Happy 80, Debbie Harry! ❤️ www.youtube.com/watch?v=YI2z...

haha, i hear you. it‘s got about 90 good movies though. 🙂

Hey cineasts, which Y2K+ top 100 movies are you missing? I'd have included Annihilation (+maybe Ex machina), Leave No Trace (+maybe Winter's Bone), The Wrestler, History of Violence (no Cronenberg), The Revenant (no Iñárritu), Gran Torino (no Eastwood)... Your snubs? www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

Netflix removes Bandersnatch. Pretty lame decision and shows the problems with archiving proprietary media formats. I have no idea how Netflix‘s „Interactive Specials“ worked, but the system should be easy enough to port to PC, right? chng.it/NpzVPSWF9r

new Abstract Eye album slaps soulless electro in the face 👁️👊💚 get the vinyl if you can giftedandblessed.bandcamp.com/album/you-ca...

Played a bit of Blue Prince over the weekend. Excellent puzzle game. Got lucky to make it to room 46 on day 12 and happy that a lot of mysteries remain unsolved.

Got no shortage of coffee table books, but couldn’t resist this Cheis Foss anthology. Don’t let the fascboys hijack your space dreams.

YouTube is such a perfect example of how technofeudalism works: Sink billions into outpricing the competition, once the market is destroyed make your ‚free‘ service unusable and charge what you want for ‚premium‘. Hello Rivermind.

Tax the Rich with Brian Eno.

Just checking out the short films of Sabin Bălașa, Romanian painter and animator, from the 60s/70s. Pretty trippy stuff. Slight touch of Fantastic Realism, but the live painting technique is awesome. youtu.be/9CEsoEfzKfI

In 1961 the Belgian government and the CIA conspired to kill the Congo‘s first prime minister, Patrice Lumumba. „Soundtrack to a Coup d‘Etat“ is an excellent free-form documentary about the events in the context of colonialism, cold war, and Jazz. (for free on arte) youtu.be/BmgdE9cVfDM

great techno from Gifted & Blessed aka The Abstract Eye. 1992 The Vision-era Rob Hood with freewheeling jazz trance vibes. giftedandblessed.bandcamp.com/track/dark-d...

great looking sci-fi short by Paul Chadeisson about automated extraction + warfare on an alien world www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gl2h...

this is what‘s currently left of the lovely 1987 #architecture of the Friedrich-Ludwig-Jahn-Sportpark‘s big stadium, despite an injunction against its demolition #berlin #gdr

XY.4 continues the TRUST XY recombination series this april. featuring reworks by DJ Di'jital, Microthol, Alex Cortex, and Luxus Varta. vinyl + digital pre-orders here: trust.bandcamp.com/album/xy-4

Played a fair bit of Citizen Sleeper 2. It's a good expansion of the (fantastic) original, but to me it feels a little too gamey for a visual novel and not gamey enough for a space trading sim. Still rooting for a third part though. And if you haven't played Citizen Sleeper 1, you should!

Earth sure starts to feel like Philip K Dick‘s ‚Clans Of The Alphane Moon‘, where a planet is ruled by a clinically insane council of paranoiacs, maniacs, and schizophrenics.

Going out on a limb here, but some post-classic era Devo tracks are pretty great! This one still slaps: youtu.be/D10fcw2_Plc

some DOS games from a time when they still had awesome packaging and shipped with instruction booklets, maps, comic books, and even entire novels. 🕹️

Nothing to lift the spirits like listening to Sister Rosetta Tharpe on a sunday morning youtu.be/3NFywQdeKSo

Lost in Tokyo: Amazing 19-part series about exploring Ginza‘s Inari Shrines. For serious weebs and history buffs: www.ginza.jp/en/visit-shr...

here's the track I made last year for the 30th anniversary of Morbid Records compilation, 'Vienna Is Dead'. Detroit techno with a jazzy vibe, kinda: soundcloud.com/gl03/dj-glow...

Killer track by Aubrey (who should get much more love for being a total hero since 1990). Thanks @lok44.bsky.social for sending! outelectronicrecordings.bandcamp.com/track/binary...
