Such beautiful sound. All soft waves and darkish deepness under sparkles of color and electric life.

This video does a great job explaining many of the reasons I think the MEGA65 is the best 8-bit Commodore computer for modern users. Everything about this machine has the heart of ‘80s Commodore, and I love the community so much.

What if you just picked up a C64 at a garage sale and want to make some glorious SID music, but you have no other peripherals other than a display. Famous demoscene artist LFT does some insane music hacking in this video.

Sigh. A YouTube creator I like used an AI generated thumbnail for their most recent video. I gently commented that he should reconsider using AI thumbnails, and a still from the video would much better showcase his art (he is a historic documentary filmmaker and photographer).

Replies to my post quickly degenerated into people suggesting that I meant he should use MORE AI art, and the creator replying that the thumbnail was not generated and was a hand picked still from the video (YouTube showing me something different?). And finally I was asked if I am actually a bot or just replying to the wrong video.

Sometimes I just want to pull the covers over my head and cry.

Does this thumbnail seem AI generated to you? Is YouTube just randomly replacing thumbnails now, and only showing it to some users?

Wow, my SystemUIserver process on my MacOS Mojave mini was taking up 29GB of swap space!! I killed the process and all was well. Hope it didn’t thrash my SSD to death. 444 days of uptime on this mini.

My goal in life is to one day follow as many people as @lisamelton

Don't laugh! I'm gonna do it! And they will be good people (mostly).

It is difficult for me to believe this oscilloscope music is real. Mind blown.

As a counterpoint to all the blue hued links I see lately; it feels to me that Mastodon is doing very well. There are more and more interesting people to follow every day, and they post a high quantity of interesting things — far more than I can keep up with.

I’d rather hang out in the hackerspaces and libraries than around the “cool kids” anyway. Interactions here just feel less transactional.

My friend dropped a new piano album under the name “Peace and Honey”. I would describe it as contemplative music. There are some themes that remind me of my childhood, but I can’t pinpoint why. It feels especially nice to listen to in the rain.

Just to follow up… it was indeed very crowded, and the shot itself was indeed no big deal. I wonder how much of the drastic reduction in vaccine uptake in the US is simply caused by the cost/convenience factor. As an introvert; it’s hard to express just how much I appreciated those drive through vaccine systems we had early on.

Mmmmm…freshly washed berries next to lovely flowering plant . Big thanks to my big brother for passing down his beautiful table; we love it. We took the family van on a 1200 mile road trip to pick up the dining room set, and gave our daughter many hours of driving lessons on the way. She will be ready to take her test in no time.

Off to get my Covid vaccine today. I’m not nervous about getting the shot; just about going to usually crowded Walgreens. Hehee I need to get out of the house more.

When as a child you have beautiful dreams - to advance humanity and explore. And you work passionately; endlessly toward this goal. And you step on a few — only a few — but inspire so many more. And you move closer to your goals but step on far more and crush a few. And as you approach fruition you focus more and more on the crushing until this becomes the dream. You have become evil.
