I was also being facetious, but I agree, it's far from ideal.

there's no ethical consumption under capitalism, so anyone who consumes food instead of photosynthesizing is a fake revisionist leftist.

but i got to do my part, 'cause i know in my heart, i got to please my sweet'n baby, yeah

I suppose it'll depend on where they are relative to the sun. Maybe if I send them on an inclined trajectory, it'll go through some non-zodiacal constellations, and it'll break their brain trying to figure out what it means.

imagine living 50 years ago, and not having to worry about this shit

I'd think it was mountain lion, which would make me want to go pet it. Yes, I know I'm going to get mauled, but I just can't resist petting the kitty.

I absolutely LOVE barbecue cauliflower!

Ah, gotcha.

Could cause issues if the compressed text file has to be read by another operating system, like in a dual boot situation, or if it gets copied to a flash drive and plugged into a Winblows/Mac PC.

And happy St. Patrick's day, too!

I wish you the best of luck! I went down the physical modeling rabbit hole a few years ago, though I didn't end up creating anything more than a few test programs.

That's awesome! Have you heard of Tao before? It's an unfinished FOSS physical modeling synthesizer that sounds a lot like what you're describing. The UI is... about what you'd expect for it being one guy's college project from 20 years ago, but I've managed to make a few neat sounds with it.

That's great! What plugin ideas do you have so far? I'm not a music professional by any stretch, but I have played around with DAWs before.

Because the bug fixes weren't big enough to warrant a major version increment

Introducing the 1.1 ring

that sounds amazing

I'm going to assimilate the FUCK out of this

there may be no more pie, but there is always more pi; the digits never end.

Whenever I start feeling this way, I remind myself that people who lived under brutal empires in the past probably also felt the same way. But those empires eventually crumbled, the people started the long journey of healing, and eventually the future was bright again. I very much want a good future, but that future has to be fought for, and part of that means rooting out defeatist thoughts.

I'm a fan of the "revolutionary suicide" concept (by this I mean the original meaning of the phrase as coined by Huey Newton, before it was hijacked by the Jonestown cult). Revolutionary suicide, in its original form, was the idea that it is better to die on your feet than on your knees; that it is better to die resisting the forces that would drive me to self murder, rather than by giving in to them. This is one of the things that keeps me going. If the fascists want me dead, they will have to come and kill me themselves. I won't do it for them.

No matter how bleak things may be, we can't give up hope. Because there is always hope, as long as people are willing to resist.

This really is a 50/50. Magic mushrooms are my favorite drug, so those plus diarrhea would equal weird diarrhea.

Also, I'm glad you're feeling better!

was thinking of giving emma a shoutout today for the Postmill updates, but I was worried that would be too meta

i instantly knew this would be the top comment

i want some of that

every so often I am reminded that advertisements exist

I have gone to such great lengths to eschew all ads, that whenever I see one I am instantly nettled, and make a vow to never buy whatever they're selling

my life is so much more peaceful without ads being shoved down my throat

Hooray! I saw your downtime message, and thought it was pretty funny ;)

Me too.
