The “Jupiter Greedy” discourse is quite literally sending me into outer space

This week, us northern hemisphere folx will have made it through the darkest ten weeks of the year. The light is returning!

“Wonderful! Just wonderful! … So much for instilling them with a sense of awe.”

Amazing Scott Alexander post on Scott Adams. I too was a young Dilbert fan, emailed him and received a reply, read many of his non-Dilbert books, and then watched his fall into right-wing madness with festering lament: www.astralcodexten.com/p/the-dilbe...

Someone made a 2007 YouTube video and released it in 2026. www.youtube.com/watch?v=xqmG...

In het RTL-journaal wordt ten onrechte vermeld dat door heffingen Nederlandse bedrijven duurder uit zijn...onjuist , het wordt duurder voor Amerikanen...

De Sociale Verzekeringsbank, één van de grootste verwerkers van privégegevens van miljoenen Nederlanders gaat volledig naar MICROSOFT AZURE. Dit is geen technische keuze, maar een politieke.

Honestly all Denmark needs to do is to withdraw all Ozempic exports to the US and Americans will finally revolt

Who would have thought that...

Bandcamp was never going to be at the center of AI music slop, but this does look like a stand worth taking. Now the questions I have are -- how do you define this? How do you enforce it? And I suspect that'll apply to independent platforms and fediverse, too.

Grok is so much worse than you think.

Alle geldautomaten van alle Nederlandse banken draaien exclusief op Amazon Web Services. Dus als er verstoring is met Amerika en je denkt, dan betaal ik wel cash, kom je niet aan cash. Hier het trotse verhaal over de capitulatie aan 🇺🇸: schubergphilis.com/industries/f...

My debut album from 2013 is now in 150 Bandcamp collections. People all over the world are still discovering this album today. I occasionally sell a CD, like this week, which will be sent to France. 😊

pretty sure he meant the other thing, grok, but very cool that those are your two things

Het Nederlandse instituut Beeld & Geluid heeft het volledige archief van game-incubator Dutch Game Garden opgenomen in de collectie. In de incubator werden sinds 2008 honderden games ontworpen door Nederlandse studio's. Beeld & Geluid neemt met name administratie en documentatie over,… #Tweakers

Grateful for an amazing run of more than 17 months on the Sleep station on Amazon Music for my track Ascension Road that I composed with fellow ambient musician Human Is Alive. Sadly this run has now come to an end, with over 1 million streams a month on average. I don't think I'll ever top this.

The new Flea track featuring Thom Yorke is pretty neat. I like the direction Flea is going. youtu.be/iDdl-cwIXJU?...

We have an update on Charlie’s newfound love of printing.

congrats to everyone's favorite very important lawyer (sparing him the tag; he's got important lawyering to do) for creating a meme that appears on my favorite "explain dumb inescapable online shit to my old ass" YouTube channel, @scrolldeep.bsky.social www.youtube.com/watch?v=sTFP...

#trustuh crowslabyrinth.bandcamp.com/track/reverie Afkomstig van @crowslabyrinth.com's debuut Travels uit 2013. Vandaag 13 jaar geleden uitgebracht. Zie ook: whitevalley.nl/2019/06/07/c....

Well…after two days I finally got it to work (I tell the saga in the vid). You are hearing the music from the new M4Pro mini being streamed via an AVB (Audio Video over Bridge) Ethernet cable to the M1 Mini into OBS then streaming to you. Wild ride. Now I have to reconfigure everything ELSE! #AVB

Somehow I screwed up the Lynkify link. Sigh. 🙄 Giving it another try. lynkify.in/album/travel...

On this day in 2013 my debut album Travels saw the light of day. Inspired by the dark ambient work of Steven Wilson's Bass Communion I wanted to make a soundscapes album with bass guitar as the sonic source. Bandcamp: crowslabyrinth.bandcamp.com/album/travels Elsewhere: lynkify.in/album/travel...

Wie niet is aangewezen op zorg of sociale zekerheid, hoeft geen spijt te hebben van een stem op VVD, D66 of CDA. De mate van beschaving van een samenleving wordt bepaald door de omgang met de zwakkeren. Denk daaraan bij volgende verkiezingen. www.volkskrant.nl/politiek/d66...

I finished Stranger Things 5 yesterday. Absolutely loved it. Now I feel like I'm in a black hole. I need to process that it has really come to an end. Or until they make up a prequel or spin-off. 😄

Fortunately this monstrosity can be turned off.

Apart from the obvious moral and ethical questions surrounding the use of AI, there is one more fundamental issue. It looks like absolute shit.

Voel me lichtelijk optimistisch terwijl dat nergens op slaat. Alleen maar omdat JA21 niet in de regering mag... Terwijl we straks wel weer een rechts kabinet hebben, MET de VVD... Nou ja, laat ik vandaag maar even van dat gevoel genieten. Morgen weer gewoon pessimistisch.

If I stop using the local pizza place because they keep putting dog shit on my pizza then the dog shit pizza makers win. So I'll keep eating the dog shit.

Just watched Asteroid City for the first time and I was trying to wrap my head around all the layers of narrative. Stumbled upon this article by jamnpp.bsky.social it’s incredible how well he laid it all out. mashable.com/article/aste...

More than just a gimmick, this telephone drum machine integrates the keypad into sequencer functions and sports a 4-voice analog architecture. Amazing work by simple_but_nerdy:

This is what the internet was made for.

#NowPlaying 🎧 Turbulence by Steve Howe 1991 Excellent instrumental album by Yes' guitarist. If you listen closely you will recognize some themes that were recorded in a different form in a couple of songs on Yes' Union album. #CDFriday
