if a chatbot can’t fully parse a chat beyond a certain point because of the immense input, how do you manage an entire codebase with the same technology and not break things constantly??

‘the surface’

hi it’s my birthday today ^^

SFLT beta v0.9 out now! featuring: - macOS support! (VST3/CLAP/AU) - support for SF3 files - context menu option for manual value entry - extended parameter ranges - various little fixes and QoL tweaks estrobiologist.gumroad.com/l/sflt

game industry business tip: instead of having 25 studios working on one big ass doomed-to-fail live service game, make 25 smaller games in different niches just an idea..

any platform with UGC has a dangerous choice to make. 1) spend a fortune hosting and delivering any and all UGC (including tons of slop, ai or not) 2) choose to remove and reject spammy and low-effort content, potentially losing users in the process i have a couple ideas on how to fix this…

good news i’m feeling normal about music again. bad news is it probably won’t come out until late next year so

Weird AI Yankovic

idea for folks releasing music (i’ll get there) bandcamp timed exclusives music releases on bc, elsewhere after a set amount of time. you wanna stream it? wait or buy it on bandcamp like timed console exclusives, everyone will eventually be able to experience it, but it nudges people off spotify

the engine in the car weighs too much so we removed it for better fuel economy

if you leave any decision making to a computer, you have to understand the shortcomings involved with that. if the computer makes a mistake on your behalf, that is YOUR mistake actually

i so badly want to build a physical audio format for the modern day. optical media isn’t gonna last, no one has a cd player anymore. vinyl is cool but impractical and can be damaged moving from place to place. cassettes are the closest to what i’m thinking, but are still too bulky and lack detail…..

pc gaming is saved

why is “rude” set to hide by default instead of warn? i just had to change that myself. who decides what is and isn’t “rude” and completely buries the post? also, rudeness =/= dangerous misinformation. i feel like regardless of tone i feel we should be more focused on that????? weirdo mod behavior

being an independent artist is all about spending hundreds of hours making something that less than 100 people will ever notice and just pretending that doesn’t bother you

first time seriously exploring arm linux. any linux nerds in chat with some indispensable creative software or new user advice? mostly just exploring for curiosity’s sake, macos is still my daily driver

since my ep was removed from streaming, i initially was eager to find another distributor to get it back up asap. i waited long enough, and now i don’t think I want to distribute my music to streaming anymore! bandcamp + soundcloud from now on i think. spotify doesn’t deserve to profit from my work

hi

musicians should be negotiators. they’re good at coming to arrangements

hi how have things been

eve personal brand press conference we have decided to retire eve hair blur profile picture and we are now in the tiny eve era

apologies for being a little too vulnerable, i can save it for lyrics. i’m steering the ship again i kinda had to wait out the storm a bit and that’s all i really need to share on that i’ve been afraid to post! a lot has changed so fast but i’m still here and still trying to make stuff. hiiiiiiiiii

masters of the soundtrack to a summer's day walk, @koganemusic.bsky.social and @imagi.ro finally join forces to play some nice music together at #FORMFESTLONDON👑 this July 10th!

erm, sorry pal, you can’t post just anything in general chat. that picture of the meal you made has to go in the food-pictures or cooking or eats or culinary channels and yes you have to check all four of those separately to stay up to date on everything. wait why is the server dead

a form legend since 2019 — join us for nothing but original & unreleased @birkham.bsky.social tracks at #FORMFESTLONDON👑 on July 10th!

as someone who’s a control freak about my work, i cannot fathom punching in paragraphs trying to get a machine to understand what i want. set aside any and all arguments about the environmental impact or morality or copyright, the workflow doesn’t make any sense to me either. i’ll do it myself thx

(not film) i love the monorail

when making Mac and cheese, the type of Mac doesn’t matter too much. i recommend a Mac mini, but for lighter flavor you can use an Air

hi! i'm working on a research project on the way digital streaming platforms & etc treat musicians (and their more famously controversial practices), i'm conducting a survey for musicians as a part of it forms.gle/7eE4kZXZKUCr... it's reasonably short and general, reposts are very appreciated :)

big eve update coming in the next 24 hours or so 👀

electric vehicles be like “please plug your Dodge charger into your Dodge Charger”

happy triple threat sunday to those who celebrate (4/20 + easter + minecraft movie “chicken jockey” special screening)

why are so many of my friends still the most active on the bird app
