my political ideology is a Kalmar Reunion with nuclear weapons and where Swedes aren’t allowed to vote

[Jack 🏴‍☠️ 🌖 @wereness]

@pfau yes, agreed!

We are proud to announce the first spec-compliant PLAN runtime not written by one of the original authors. It is an OOM faster than other orthogonally persistent VMs.

Hipsters were not a subculture defined by what music they listened to. They were defined by *how they related to music*. Specifically, it was a subculture that could only exist in the interregnum between the internet and Napster at one end and streaming and Spotify at the other.

@samliebrand @residentadvisor and yes, we'll have a counterreaction too. i look forward to that too! but as you pointed out, it won't have a new technological medium to explore and exploit, so while AI music will correspond roughly to, say, idm, non-AI music will be more like grunge.

@samliebrand @residentadvisor in addition to such human-invented and AI-created sounds, we will also have a plain old aesthetics of failure (in the Brian Eno sense), where the glitchy artifacts in poorly generated AI sounds will be used as aesthetic material in themselves

@Amtays i don't exactly have a strong opinion on whether it's ethical or should be free or whatever, but regarding the thread you quoted, i don't think news outlets can complain about misinformation regarding them proliferating if they make it difficult/costly to check the truth

Rubio berömmer sverige för 2 saker. En stark självständig försvarsindustri (vilket är ett direkt arv av att Sverige *inte* var med i Nato), samt Ericsson; ett företag vars tidiga raison d'etre var att bygga självständig telecom i direkt konkurrerans med amerikanskt monopol

@YourFriendTina yes. You Could Feel The Sky alone is god tier

@aliceisplaying Finland right?

you don’t see a lot of serious weightlifters who do serious yoga alongside it

the reason is that the yoga can be hard as shit when you keep tightening your muscles from lifting

take your average (semi-)jacked dude in a gym and throw him in a Yoga Level 2 class and he will probably cry

but i will swear by the benefits of doing both together in a weekly program

The EU age verification app is presented as “completely anonymous”. But the risk is that member states (the countries are supposed to create their own versions of the open-source EU app) use it to introduce identity verification that makes it impossible to post anonymously on social media.

The idea behind “completely anonymous” is to use Zero-Knowledge Proof (ZKP) cryptography to break the link between the age credential issuer (EU governments) and the regulated services/sites. Currently, the EU app does not have ZKP functionality, contrasting Ursula von der Leyen’s claim that the app ”is technically ready to be used”. But more importantly, the app is designed to always function without ZKP technology; if ZKP is unavailable, the app falls back to a non-ZKP model. Even if fully developed ZKP technology could be implemented in the future, it would remain an optional extra feature that countries may choose to disable and that the EU could remove at any time.

This means that the EU could decide at any time that ZKP may no longer be used, and in one stroke the app would fall back to its default mode, meaning that every post on social media carries an ID tag. By that point, an infrastructure will already have been rolled out; people will have gotten used to it, and it will be harder to roll it back.

What passes for a philosophy of manliness often turns out to be nothing more than an admiration of those habits most suitable to a particularly industrious slave. The same mentality which regards the lifting of heavy objects as "manliness" tends to view the minimisation of time spent washing oneself as another manly virtue, preferring the hurried shower to the bath for reasons which have nothing to do with cleanliness and a great deal to do with compatibility within the labour process.

The form of “music discovery” I always see people neglecting is the good old fashioned comprehensive label deep dive which is weird because it’s also literally the best and easiest way to level up
