I get that shit is fucked over there (everywhere, really, we live in fucky times), but repeatedly posting takes about democrats vs republicans, Trump, US fascists, riling folks up to obtain guns... what does that really accomplish? Aside from making folks even more anxious, sad, and angry? Fuck all, I'd say.

On a more personal level, I just can't hack absorbing even more abstracted + formless anxiety and sadness than I already have about shit I actually have a say in. It's not good for me. If it helps people to post through it, fine, good for them (though I feel like it's less about venting and more about generating 'engagement'), but that doesn't mean I gotta see it too.

In the US, you have to be vigilant about hate.

Not paying attention to what you are reading, watching, and consuming will have you hating people you don't even know and voting for people that make careers from exploiting that ignorance.

My daughter, who has had a degree in computer science for 25 years, posted this observation about ChatGPT on Facebook. It's the best description I've seen:

Audio tech troubleshooting, opinions welcome

So I have an old E-mu Proteus 2 rackmount synth that I got off Kijiji, but since plugging it in after my move, I discovered the audio output is frequently dropping out, most audible on sustained samples.

I'm suspecting the DAC's capacitors are toast, since I don't notice any sort of sign of power fluctuation (the LED panel stays lit for example) or data issue (the MIDI input light flashes in time with all events logged) but I know a few people I follow are tech heads too so can anyone weigh in with a second opinion?

Now is a good time to study up on the actual history of the Luddites because the ChatGPT maximalists are going to use all the same propaganda and playbooks that their industrialist forebearers used to oppress all of us who care more about people than about programs and profits.

Please get the word out. Share and boost this post.

If you are a drummer, are familiar with big band swing and are going to @anthrocon and would like to play a concert with The Furry Jazz Experience, PLEASE contact me. Circumstances have come up and I most likely will not be able to attend AC. The band will need a drummer.

Was working on more Doom sprites for the morning art stream, but I finished with about 20 minutes left so I threw together a quick sketch of some gay catgirls.

Krita's "colorize mask" tool makes the coloring super fast!
