DJ Sundog - from the toot-lab / is on Nostr

Trying to break things that need breaking, deliberately and after much reflection, make things in a likewise manner, and generally reshape the various worlds I inhabit to be slightly more habitable.

into music, retrocomputing, people, caring, and thinking.

dislike capitalism, cryptocurrency, terfs, nazis, fascists, racists, & edgelords.

Feel free to ask questions. I will not always answer.

mix tapes (and the follow-on mix CDs that became popular with folk once CD-R media got cheap and CD-R drives got ubiquitous) were artifacts of a beautiful culture of citizen curators, rarely paid directly for their (usually statutorily prohibited!) curation, yet creating an entire market for (also illicit) distribution and marketing folk that definitely can be tracked to increased record sales for the artists included on the mixes.
I think about things like this pretty often and yet still not often enough.
capitalism ruins everything around me, and it has ever been thus.

frankly santana has enough miles behind him to smooth out the rough spots of almost any collaborator which is why that dave matthews track is pretty good and so is the one with the chad from nickelback. santana's really that smooth.

feel like eugen is kicking himself because he missed out on getting mcafee on the mastoboard before it was too late

new rule: if your company puts a LLM bot on the front lines of your customer support effort, your company should be legally bound to adhere to whatever the LLM bot states on your behalf.
oh, you put a lying machine at the front door and it's telling people your product does things it doesn't actually do? and now you're stuck making your product do these things? maybe you'll think twice about deploying lying machines...

just saw a boost of a toot containing a screenshot of a bluesky post that contained a screenshot of an email containing only text. bluesky has an overlay that denotes that the screenshot of the email has alt text but it is not displayed in the screenshot. the screenshot of the screenshot does not have alt text. everyone involved is a damned sinner. I don't ask that we all use the same tools, or use the tools the same way, but can we at least endeavor to not use them to make something shittier before passing it on to people we ostensibly enjoy sharing things with?
