@rasterweb@mastodon.socialI listened to one of my own albums today. “Navasio” was recorded in 2009. It’s not very good. Oh well. At least I tried!

@Cognessence@social.linux.pizzaDear friends,
Please forgive one more post related to this, but I’m excited to share my new album, 'Habitations', with you!
A friend listened to a few of my thoughts/the album and summarised it as "inhabited worlds - human sanctuaries and tragedies, insect colonies and their swarm intelligences, bird migrations across continents, the microcosms of mind and memory, the metal nests of decaying cities…tracing the often-surprising beauty of the perilous journey home - t…

@cdarwin@c.imEven before extremist Republican Donald Trump returned to the Oval Office on January 20,
progressives warned of his fascistic tendencies and plans,
often citing his platform, and highlighting what former Labor Secretary Robert Reich calls “Trump’s playbook of dictators.”
But too few people, even on the left side of the electorate, listened.
After all, those warnings have been sounded for months if not years.
“Trump is following, point for point, the playbook of …
@hex@kolektiva.socialI've listened to enough episodes of Revolutions to have a rough idea of what's coming next. If you're in the US, now is a good time to do some more long-term (the system will be down for months or years) kind of disaster planning.
That means building connections with your community, because you can't do everything yourself and you may have to figure out how to get things without state/capital functioning to facilitate that.
@katrinakatrinka@infosec.exchangeInstitutional power, capitalism, colonialism, and an empire on the brink of war or collapse. Doncha just love escaping into fiction when the real world gets to be too much?
Yeah, 19th century fictional Britain is strikingly similar to the US today, but at least you know the fictional story will have a resolution. I don't want to spoil the story. Just know that you're in for a captivating ride with an excellent author.

@malik@Mastodon.SocialAnybody here listened to “the rest is politics US” last week? 😆
That’s what Anthony Scaramucci predicted would make sense strategically.

I listened to the Lunachicks on CD back in the 90s. Theo has a vibrant, strong voice - glad the group took off during 90s punk scene. They did some work with NoFx back then too.

@markhburton@mstdn.socialI've only ever listened to a handful of 'podcasts'.
But my question is, what's the generic name for them?
"podcast": from Apple's iPod machine, and broadcast.
"hoover": from a major brand of [generic name] vacuum cleaner.
I propose "webtape". From web and (for an historical feel) 'tape recording'.

I couldn't get the point of what they were saying at all. Then they talked about how charging for membership of their closed group didn't really make money but helped weed people out, with no consideration that some people don't have spare …
@portaloffreedom@social.linux.pizzaListened to half of the digital foundry video. The steam machine, AKA GabeCube, will have 16G of replaceable sodimm (laptop) memory.
Video memory it's probably soldered and a bit anemic, but (my guess) if the GPU can read system memory fast enough, it might even work out just fine! Ray tracing consumes a lot of extra video memory, so that's probably the biggest concern.
We'll see, I'm definitely interested to see where this goes!

@jake4480@c.imNow playing yet another older death metal banger again, Mortiferum's 2021 LP, 'Preserved in Torment'. Easily one of my favorite death metal (or any metal) records ever. I've listened to this one a LOT.

@cdarwin@c.imI listened to CNN talking heads praise the spectacular tactical success of the kidnapping

They spoke of a restoration of democracy, by which they meant capitalism, if they knew what they meant at all.
Then Trump said the U.S. would run the country directly.
Once again, journalists attempt to clothe an emperor who's fine with letting it flop around for everyone to see.
But to put it mildly,…

But tell me again, Americans, that massive protests in the USA would not be successful in removing Trump and his inner circle from power.
Yes, tell me again that it just won’t work, and that winning Congress in 11 months will definitely fix things.
All my life I have listened to American Presidents and people say that they were defenders of freedom… protectors of democracy…
And yet now, when it comes to their own freedom and democracy, they choose silence?
