Mac DeMarco – Some Other Ones

Just realized that I included an 2015 digital only album in my Best of 2023 (though first time on vinyl) ¯_(ツ)_/¯

First time 9yo told about a meme I had never heard of:
Smurf Cat. There is no substance to it,
apparently it is an image originally created in 2014, now trending on TikTok,
”…almost always paired with the Alan Walker song “The Spectre”, particularly with the lyrics: “We live. We Love. We Lie.””
Aoomer memes…

@jhilden My 13yo was singing that song last summer. Showing me the Smurf Cat.
Funny that it is still making its rounds.

If any of you EU citizens are into jazz vinyl then you should dip into the Platomania sale where top-of–the-line repressing by Acoustic Sounds are on sale for incredible prices. They are normally at around €50.

But I should definitely pass by to pick up that pink De La Soul album!

Da ihr mich anschreibt, ob ihr das Bild bei Demos verwenden dürft, herzlich gern.
Ich habe es jetzt auch noch mal auf Deutsch gemacht, da nachgefragt wurde, warum ich es in englisch mache.
Ich mache es schlicht so, wie es mir grad gut geht.
Aber hier:

@SheDrivesMobility
ist das zu hart? (denke an Ecocide)

eWalthert,
@eWalthert@typo.social avatar

@dvw @SheDrivesMobility Die Reaktion auf das Poster war weder witzig noch verharmlosend gemeint.
Beim Femicide geht es auch um relativ geringe Zahlen. Aber die strukturelle Patriarchalische Ursache.
Beim Ecocide nicht um die vorsätzliche Zerstörung der Natur sondern das in Kauf nehmen dieser für andere Prioritäten.
Ich bin lange genug Fahrrad gefahren in Deutschen Städten und zwei mal Unschuldig verunfallt um zu wissen wie die Prioritäten gesetzt sind.

@dvw @SheDrivesMobility Nachdem ich dank Mastodon vor dem Vorfall letze Woche erfahren habe, war ich tief erschüttert und habe mich kurz eingelesen.

Hier in Amsterdam sind die Zustände paradiesisch. Nach den Moped‘s sind nun die Fatbikes und E-Bikes das einzige von dem wir uns fürchten müssen.

Yesterday I passed this mural by chance. I have seen it before, was on the lookout for it, because it depicts a sport that we used to do in the woods.
„Chnöble“ (German: Knüppeln/English: Sticking), starts by finding your stick and preparing and decorating it with your pocket-knife.
Then we toss them into the muddy ground, one by one. Continuing by trying to take out other players, while your own sticks need to end up standing.
I was always curious if this reached beyond central Switzerland.

Watching The Matrix with my son for the first time.
Questions: what’s that little black package? Drugs? (Floppy Disk)
Oh some sort of USB stick?
Did all computers look like that back in the days? (Screen)
And then he knows many cultural references that have been riffing on it.
Seems like it’s going to be a fun evening!

This is everything that's wrong with YouTube and how it influences the world. It's the home screen for an unsigned in user, showing on my TV. Among 6 visible recommended videos are one on Elon, one on Joe Rogan, one about some group of British nationalists who may not exist and one on Andrew Tate.
Remember: not signed in, this is what the network generically recommends

@ronanmcd Whenever I start windows 10 or 11 to test some fonts, the little msn thumbnails are full of total conspiracy clickbait crap.
Same if I start Edge, on the starting screen.
These are unpersonalized installations, only used every now and then to look at and debug fonts.

eWalthert,
@eWalthert@typo.social avatar

@ronanmcd Somewhat related.
My sons Instagram feed is 50% skating/freestyle, 20% Lego’s, 20% Family guy and pranks, 10% boobs and lips, that he swipes away annoyed, whenever they show up.
Today he asked, “why is my feed suddenly full of that wheelchair guy. So he went to an island with another creep? …”

Why is Meta pushing that stuff to a 13 year old, that is clearly not interested?

eWalthert,
@eWalthert@typo.social avatar

@ronanmcd Yeah, it’s really difficult. I’m happy the Netherlands has banned phones in classrooms now.
Parental control over a phone feels too intrusive. We decided against it, and I’m happy that there is enough trust to share such concerns with me.

Today I had a call with Andreas Nymark @andreasnymark about his Kirby @getkirby foundry plug-in @Fountain.

What I have seen is really promising and exciting! A lot of automated processes thanks to implementation. Like subsetting, trial fonts or conversion.

Holly Herndon is an known for blending electronic music with in her work. Alongside her husband, Mathew Dryhurst, she explores the concept of "embedding" personal identity into models, as seen in their project Holly+, a model trained on Herndon's voice. In this article, the couple reflects on the future of and authorship in the age of AI, emphasizing the need for ethical considerations and new economic models. https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2023/11/20/holly-herndons-infinite-art

@arselectronica
This sounds like a bad voice filter IMHO, not much like a Herndon cover version of James Blake’s – I’ll Come Too.
Also, there is nothing mentioned about copyrighted content being uploaded into the module.
I’m also curious how much processing power is involved to convert a song into this mangled version.

Yesterday I printed a small merch run at a former squat in Amsterdam West, thanks to @lttrspc regular Jaco.

The garments are all high quality and organic by https://www.stanleystella.com
We hand-printed the shirts with water-based paint (hence the slight DIY look).

Please DM me, if you are interested.

Hooded shirt (S/L) €30 (Drummer 2.0)
Heavyweight T (S/M/L/XL) €20 (Freestyler)
T-shirt (S/M/L) €15 (Creator)
Stack of 10 stickers €5
All prices are without shipping and barely any profit.

Be quick!
