Good lord, the stupidity. Someone decided that our employee website, which we use to access things like our paystubs, 401k and other tools should have generative AI integrated into its search bar.
Here's how I even discovered it. I wanted to look at my 401k balance. The page that you normally access that one from redirected to the homepage, which noticed the referrer and helpfully redirected back to it, which redirects back to the homepage... you get the picture? So I just went to …

This isn't meant dismissively toward those who use such tools for rhythmic manipulation - there are no rules, and you probably do it better than me - but every single "beat mangler" or "glitch" plugin I've ever used somehow sounds terrible.
In all these years, no releases have changed that view, and doing it by hand always seems preferable. (Obviously, I'm not talking about inputting or tools we use/build that generate note values; this is strictly about…

I just made myself a new banner for myself, using (mostly) open source software. The only exception was that I used a random website to add an outline to my Rudolf Rocker image, I was too lazy to get out of bed and use GIMP on my PC for that step. For everything else, I used this tool from GitHub:
My main concern here is how well this “new” spec be integrated? Will Chrome add support? Will Photoshop, GIMP and other tools support it?
