In Korea, they refer to it as “magic” time. Take that as you will.

I have to have Facebook messenger installed because it’s the only way I have to contact several out-of-date friends and family. Notifications enabled for the same reason. It will send a notification when you get a message. Ok.

If you happen to leave that notification there to say, maybe check that message later, it will send a second notification to remind you of the first notification.

Oh, it also makes loud annoying noises when you or someone else is typing in a chatroom.

Fuck Facebook messenger. With a rusty hammer. Sideways. In a vat of acid.

Needs more Linux femboys.

Bluey is a fantastic parenting manual. Seriously, it should be required viewing for anyone considering having a kid.

Chrome peaked when it was all angular. Why does everything have to all rounded now?

Hmm. I’ll have to check it out. Not sure I’m willing to give up my current workflow.

I have not tried Bitwig yet. Reaper is my jam.

Pew pew!

Haha! I refuse to even look at modular. Well. I did once or twice, and got frightened off pretty quickly. So much coolness. So much money.

Cries in synthesizers.

At least there are a bunch of great budget options these days. Still not cheap though.

Oh long Johnson https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=kkwiQmGWK4c

Do we? I remember watching movies like Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels when I was younger and never having a clue what they were talking about.

AI is trained on the Internet. Look at the bullshit on the Internet. AI will take some random schmoe’s bullshit opinion and present it as hard fact.

That, and it just re-introduced the problem of being able to see search results without visiting any of the resultant websites. The last time, sites ended up burying answers down the page to avoid being able to see results in search previews. Making everything shittier. What kind of response is there going to be to AI summaries? Everything will undoubtedly get even shittier as sites try to get people to visit and not just read the AI summary. Hello even more obfuscation. We’re taking the greatest method of spreading information around the globe ever devised and just absolutely filling it to the brim with bullshit.

To compare this to music streaming, I have a couple of tracks with ~4 million listens, and they each made ~$20.

I played through Phantasy Star one more time not that long ago. It came out (in English) in 1988.

Always? OK, I guess. It’s probably going to make teaching hard, though.

Oh shit, this is that stupid fucking comic again, isn’t it?

I’ve done that. It’s not the worst. To be fair to me, I live in Korea and tahini is prohibitively hard to find. (Chick peas have at least become more common over the years.) Lately, I use olive oil and sesame seeds blended into a kind-of pseudo-tahini instead. It’s definitely better than the peanut butter.

Definately!

You also downloaded 5 offensively funny songs wrongly attributed to Weird Al.

Haha! I live in Korea and have a daughter who was not-so-briefly completely obsessed with this movie. I know all of the words at this point. English and Korean. I didn’t mind at first. It’s starting to drive me a bit nuts, now. Also, it is some pretty blatant propaganda for the grist mill that is the Kpop industry. Despite the subtle nods to the contrary.
