I used to be thrilled every time launched and was like "Do you want to install the update"? Yes! Free! Awesome! Works better!

...Now that they're owned by Canva, I have this fear that every update might be The One that starts the enshittification.

Yeah, I hear you. Affinity makes great products and we all hope the commercial model will stay reasonable. I have similar fears.

I'm trying to apply some Buddhist advice I heard once:

Don't worry.
If it doesn't happen, we have worried for nothing.
If it DOES happen, us having worried about it will not change it.

A perfect example of Governmental Capture by big business. These are ALL companies that has everything to gain by selling "AI" through massively inflated corporate needs for "compute" and "storage" resources on their cloud services and/or using their hardware.

Here's my music:

https://songwhip.com/white-town

I love that I can bung you one link which then has every service my music is on, plus other stuff.

Well, sadly, is shutting down.

So, lil tooters, what is the best alternative to Songwhip? I've just gone through a couple of 'BEST ALTERNATIVE' lists and they were obviously generated by drunk AIs. In a coal scuttle. With low batteries. Just awful.

I'm hoping you ugly bags of mostly water can do better?

Dang, so are shutting down? One of the truly great services that consistently did just what it was designed to do, with no fuss and a straightforward interface.

Miss it already...

😱 Eeep! @hilljam & I just confirmed a show in a city we haven't yet played on the Good to Me tour! Any guesses?

@shannoncurtis @hilljam

It is. The "Poolside Singers" are the highlight of the series for me, even if they only get a minute or two of airtime per episode. The way they go with 100% confidence into the old synth hits, with hillarious outfits and only Spanish lyrics is priceless.

Weirdly, I found not a single clip on YouTube of them.

For the first time this year I can draw for this absolute classic.

Such a wonderful track, a true classic.

You might have heard it, but Al Jarreau and George Benson made a suberb cover of it too:

    AI is clearly not sustainable. We can’t all fly to San Francisco!

    Surely, any local bridge with sufficient height should do the job just as well as the Golden Gate. Stupid AI…

    No antipsychotic at the hospital either, they’ve ordered me some but it will take 6 days to get here. Thankfully I have 8 days supply left. Now for a cheese scone in the M&S cafe

    Cutting it a bit too close for comfort there, eh? So happy it seems to reach you in time.

    Yet another case where "the market will sort it out" claim really doesn't apply.

    Yeah, Brexit was the worst idea ever.

    You guys should probably be reactivating the Spice Girls. Would probably be more effective than current leadership, I'm thinking.

    Oh no!

    I can kinda see Posh there but all of them? That’s terrible!

    Shattered illusions makes for a restless night… Oh well, guess I learned something new today too.

    TBH, in my younger years, I had very limited knowledge of politics and what was actually happening at that level. The only thing I looked to Thatcher for was wondering what hair products she used. How do you get a do THAT tall without a single hair moving? I concluded it was probably L'Oreal Elnett hair spray and it became my daily driver for years in during the 80s.

    I had this image in my mind that these were basically 5 working class girls who made it big with a message of inclusion, friendship and fighting "the man" :)

    Linus is right though.

    Step 1: Put headphones on to get a jam going while doing chores around the house.

    Step 2: Get absolutely mesmerized by the music.

    Step 3: Refuse to do further chores as they would interfere with the music on the open headphones.

    Just problems.

    A word of warning: never put on Bob Marley during office hours. Nothing will get done for the remainder of the playlist and several hours later :)

    Enjoy the music and let the good times roll, Jeroen!

    @airwhale@mastodon.social avatar

    @jpostma

    For sure, don't get me wrong - I love Bob Marley's music and lyrics. Even though the songs are around 50 years or so by now, the stories he told explain a lot about what's wrong in the world.

    ...but also, it has a severe effect on my productivity :)

    Alternatively, you could also put the Bop in the Bop-shuap-shuap or the Ding in the Rama Lama Ding Dong.

    All equally valid and people will come up wanting to shake your hand.

    Daily reminder that the fear both leading parties have of tens of millions of racist cunts brought us to this point.

    "If she wasn't born there, she would have immigrated.
    But as she was, she didn't.
    That's logic!"
