I have just read a most gloriously kink-informed science fiction short story. I am in awe of the author's powers of #kink negotiation. I think it might be the first time I've come across a story in this format, too.

Thread: I've been having a crap week, feeling sick all over the place, didn't play any music all of yesterday but today I sat down at the keys and wrote this weird little thing in 7/8, no drums, no tempo even. Fed it to #Suno for some ideas, and boy did I get some ideas! Just had to share some of them here. This is the original, and it's bad playing central. Luckily, Suno makes up for it. To me this is where AI can truly shine. Not just a random prompt and hit up a random word generator, but feeding it some ideas as a basis and letting it rip. 1/

Alright, now this has the most beautiful time-signature and I still haven't quite worked out what it is but I'm totally here for it. Probably my favourite generation of the lot. I got 8 in total, but this is the last one I'll share. I want to meet the drummer that can pull this off, and yes I know there are some of those out there for certain. #Suno

From this 15yo video I learned that Canadian Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre has had a full pension since the age of 31.

He could've retired at 31 but instead is making us suffer youtube.com/watch?v=gnmgL5CZqf…

Found this Windows virtual display driver which basically acts like the software equivalent of a dummy plug. This solves a very specific problem for me: If I close my laptop lid and try to take screenshots or share my screen, they show up in 480p because Windows apparently defaults to that when no display is connected. This also makes websites render in their mobile layout unless I zoom the page in.
The driver goes all the way up to 4k resolution and can actually emulate multiple monitors if you need that for some reason, but I found 4k lagged my poor five-year-old laptop noticeably, so I'm using 1080p now. This also would have been really useful in the days when screen readers didn't have screen curtain, but now they do. When looking through the assets, make sure you download the setup instead of the driver, unless you want to manually configure it. github.com/VirtualDisplay/Virt…
