Until they put it up again

The conspiracy theories are still just that

The real issue has been the same since the 80s

The ultra rich are getting richer and that makes everyone else poorer.

Once they have accumulated enough wealth to price normal people out of being able to buy anything, society will be forced to reconfigure to serve only the ultra wealthy.

Then we’re all in slums with relatively few options to ever fix the situation.

We need to tax the billionaires out of existence before their simple existence breaks everything.

Everything else is a distraction.

A stylophone is more of a toy than an instrument, really

If you want a small synth that you’ll actually be able to use to make music and learn, I’d say look into the Korg Volca series. They’re only around twice the price of the stylophone, and are much more powerful in terms of what they’re capable of.

There’s about 10 of them now and are very affordable for what they are, which is a combination sequencer and synth. They can also be connected together to sync up, so you could have one doing drums and another doing a bassline or something.

Look into YouTube videos about them and decide which you think would best help you make the kind of music you’re looking to make.

It accuses the EU of going after successful U.S. space companies via the legislation, saying its rules “appear targeted specifically against U.S. companies due solely to their size, prominence, and successful track record of innovation …. such unfair and unwarranted regulations are unacceptable to the United States and must be removed.”

Hmm, I wonder what draconian legislation this must be

The EU proposed the law in June in an attempt to dial up regulatory oversight of satellite operators — including requiring them to tackle their impact on space debris and pollution, or face significant fines.

Oh… “Don’t litter”

I know what I did

Wages basically stopped rising (compared to asset prices) a couple of decades or so ago

Funny that people without any more money, aren’t able to buy as much stuff now it’s more expensive

“good morning, I’m about to destroy the backend” is exactly the energy I’d welcome from a colleague frankly.

I think the outage that followed as we fumbled to replace it would probably be cheaper than the ongoing maintenance after a few months

I’m in the process of switching to these since Tile chose violence

No complaints so far, though Google’s find my network is still nowhere near as extensive as Apple’s due to them dragging their feet with this for so long.

Though ultimately I hope someone like the EU steps in and forces everyone to make their networks interoperable

It’s probably an intentional or unintentional reference to this

Nah I’d say it was around 2014/5 everyone started to lose their minds, the pandemic was just a catalyst.

First decade or so of adult swim is still peerless IMO

That’s not the same unless something has recently changed. The scheduling just stops it from scheduling them during the day, it doesn’t make sure everything downloads in a single night.

And even then, that’s not a “do all it right now” button

Now it would be nice if they could add a download all updates button (if only for Steamdeck)

Going into that download screen and telling 20 games to download now before I’m going on a flight or something is a pain in the arse

Yeah I’ve personally never got the appeal

I think it’s that it basically has a grip on small economy

It’s a chat app yes, but it’s also Amazon, it’s also a payment provider, not just online either, you pay in shops with a WeChat QR code, I think if you’re going to a gig, your tickets are on WeChat

It’s basically all encompassing.

WeChat I guess

Something geared towards finding out what they do in their free time. Generally a quick way to find stuff in common

Nix and Snap are kind of oddly similar

Now that’s a spicy quote

Oh that’s interesting, you’ve got me curious. I looked into it and some other company has already established a similar system involving “chef hat” ratings apparently. I guess maybe they didn’t want to bother competing with it.

Apparently Michelin seems to focus on Europe, the Americas and South East Asia. Africa and the rest of Asia seem to be left out, though they seem to be expanding every year (the Philippines got their own guide this year for the first time apparently), so I guess it’s probably just a matter of time before other places are covered.
