REM users can't buy monthly transit passes at North Shore stations

tl;dr they can't figure out how to extort the money for the Opus Card where people need it. IT fail, once again.

neat little 4-port 2.5gbe switch with 2x 10G SFP+ ports for just $33 - there's an 8-port version with 1x 10G SFP+ port for only $44

Trump’s Immigration Forces Deploy “Less Lethal” Weapons in Dangerous Ways, Skirting Rules and Maiming Protesters
---

Civil rights and weapons experts cite the consequences of federal agents’ use of crowd control weapons: religious leaders shot with pepper balls and noxious chemicals. A nurse nearly blinded by tear gas. Protestors trapped, struggling to breathe.

I added a new CI check to Drum Machine, it now automatically checks if the .pot translation template file is up to date. If I forget to regenerate it after adding/changing translatable strings (which I usually do), it reminds me :D

You can add it to your own projects as well, just copy the translation-check job from the workflow file and change the paths!

Yeah, the whole poetry-as-"prompt injection" paper sure smelled like propaganda. Turned out it is.

Seit ich heute morgen von einem unserer Politkarrieristen was von „kultureller Identität“ gelesen habe, um die unsere Gesellschaft angeblich unermüdlich ringt, lässt mich das – nachdem ich meine spontan aufsteigende Wut willkommen geheißen hatte, wie sich das für therapiegestählte Dinosaurierdamen gehört – gedanklich nicht mehr los und ich werde meine Überlegungen jetzt einfach mal wie eine Gebäckschale in den Raum stellen.

If I had known in August 2024 what I know now, I would've bought my Roland SC-8820 before, not instead of, the SC-88ST Pro.
While it's not 100% compatible with earlier Sound Canvases, I've found that the SC-8820 makes up for it by being more reliable.
The ST Pro is great, but I find I run into more odd issues with it, such as MIDI settings not being transmitted properly, which happens less often and is easier to resolve with the 8820.

когда ты едешь в лондон и тебя незнакомый человек спрашивает - откуда ты - ты размышляешь что сказать - «из Израиля» - чтобы тебя ненавидели за газу или «из россии» - чтобы тебя ненавидели за Украину

когда ты едешь в Бангалор и тебя незнакомый человек спрашивает - откуда ты - ты гордо говоришь «из Израиля» и в ответ слышишь на всю улицу «Фак, фак палестайн»

Видимо непосредственная близость к самой миролюбивой религии перебивает даже антиколониальное прошлое.

Has anyone here ever used a headband for mounting microphones for use in a Quasi-binaural recording setup?

I've used glasses for years, but I kind of want to try something different with these LOM Audio mikroUši microphones I just got for those times when I don't want to just do the clip it to your shirt thing.

My work on JJ flex radio continues. We think we have fixed a lot of the connectivity problems faced in versions that I wasn't involved with. Individualswho have working Flex radios are having problems remotely connecting to the flex produced software. More to come, but if we get it all working, I might just get me one of these modern marvels. Before, previous versions did not skupport newer versions. Since getting the sourceq from JJ's son, I've made amazing progress.

@BorrisInABox It wouldn't have to be much. i get it about multi thousand dollar radios. I was either going to get an expensive Kenwood and now possibly a flex. That dual receiver noise cancellation thing is neat. Basically you have two antennas, one that's your daily driver and one like a wire. It listens to noise on the more inferior antenna and that noise basically goes away.

Sonic Onslaught is canceled as @nick is being pulled in several different directions and has literally no time to think of what a show might look like. He apologizes for this.

Instead, enjoy the U87 comparison video he was involved in making.

@Rooktallon I used some weird Logitech keyboard from my brother for years, and he did before as well probably. It was ugly, both control key caps broke off, and these stupid things aren't hotswappable sadly, when I got the Keychron I finally felt what a good mechanical keyboard means. But na the Logitech things life long in my experience. The question is whether you want to use them in the state they get into at some point. But tbf I only had one of their keyboards, well and the MX Keys Mini so...

Demand real art from real artists.

I don't even mean you should only like "good" art. I just mean we should expect human intention in all the media we interact with, & we should give no attention to the artifacts of soullessly produced "content".

If I can't see a person behind the art, I don't even know why I care. It's fascinating to watch a person make music. It's fascinating even simply listening to a recording of them. Somehow, in some way, that person is sharing something.
