for the remaining three of you who haven't moved and followed me there, I'm now also mrnulldevice on threads, I guess?

Hi. I’ve abandoned this platform but I haven't deleted it to make sure nobody’s trying to squat my username (I don't know why anyone would tho). I'm https://t.co/snh1wUy7Jg over there, and mrnulldevice on Meta's only-slightly-less-distasteful empire; Threads, Insta, fb.

@rolandthree @scottgordonwi Wow, strong assertion. I too grew up on the Rave, the giant concrete box of slapback, bass nodes, and flutter echo.

@electricalWSOP I mean a) it’s the Federalist so they’re always bloviating about societal decline and b) you can find writings where literal Ancient Greeks complain about how these kids today are going to collapse society with their music. Boomer takes are evergreen.

@AndiHarriman “Why ‘With Sympathy’ is the seminal Ministry album.” In this essay I will (1/63)

@Number452 @numanofficial Both the guy who it’s based on and the star are deep in the QAnon pipeline. And the production company these days mostly traffics in mid-budget biblical fare. It’s all pretty sketchy.

@AndiHarriman ohmygod that was the best. I learned so much.

Although for a while they were all "ReFX Vanguard" and "Access Virus B"

@bSmithMagic @krassenstein One of the largest tech employers in my hometown hires almost exclusively college kids because they "don't have to break anybody's habits." Their spaghetti codebase bears this out. They also get people too young to have family commitments so they can work them longer hours.

[Eric Oehler (find me elsewhere) @MrNullDevice]

@bSmithMagic @krassenstein If you've ever worked with tech CEOs like him, they hire like that to have it both ways. They want young people with no experience or salary requirements so they never question the boss's "genius." Looking progressive for the press and shareholders is just a side effect.

@datcoupleNOLA @Cortoome @scottkutler @krassenstein Hell, if you're rich enough, the age of accountability is already like mid-40's.

@Hyundai Called them. They were very nice. Didn’t tell me anything that I didn’t already know. “There is an acknowledged issue that we’re working to correct.” Okay, great. I had to sit on hold for that?

[Eric Oehler (find me elsewhere) @MrNullDevice]

@hyundai so my driver profile and bluelink data mystically vanished from my 2023 Tucson on Saturday AM. Apparently I am not alone in this issue. What gives? Will I ever get it back? Is this a thing I need to expect in the future?

@industrial_book Oh rats it’s not really drag n drop. You have to code a file. You can drag and drop banks but not individual files.

[Eric Oehler (find me elsewhere) @MrNullDevice]

@industrial_book Have you looked at Decent Sampler? I’ve not used it but I know some folks who swear by it.

[Eric Oehler (find me elsewhere) @MrNullDevice]

@MarkOnFire @scottgordonwi Literally here to say the same thing.

[Eric Oehler (find me elsewhere) @MrNullDevice]

@Chris_Randall They know. They simply don’t care. The cruelty is the point.

@AndiHarriman In the past, I’ve ended up on festival bills with some problematic bands, because when I agreed to play, I wasn’t privy to the other bookings until all the contracts were signed. It sucks and feels like a betrayal when it happens.

@scottgordonwi As the old cowboys would say “I’m wanted for confederate war crimes.”

@StRemyProphet @chaltione @Tweeto___ @kurtruslfanclub @NASAInSight Good lord I’m beginning to tear up just from that screenshot

@idie_youdie Your wardrobe choices for this process are perfect.
