  this description of what they're going to do to rubber soul on the new remaster, ending with a promise of 'remaining faithful to the spirit of the original recordings', gives me vibes of either a cover band or a karaoke bar pledge allegiance to the recordings, not to the spirit of the recordings, dammit. rubber soul is not for you to improve upon All of the formats boast new stereo mixes sourced directly from Rubber Soul’s original four-track master tapes. To achieve the final prod...

  RE: https://mastodon.social/@_elena/116832021297021883 @_elena@mastodon.social finds w social's tech problem but the bigger problem still sits in the room like a non-mastodon elephant More ironic: European institutions moved their accounts to W Social in order to have their data "hosted in Europe" but aside from their PDS, everything affecting their accounts is still relying on American infrastructure owned by Bluesky PBC. At least when they had their accounts on Bluesky, they we...

  hi, i'm tatiana and this is my #introduction in english, which is the only language i know your basic anti-fascist girl in the big city. on the walls where i post from : a ballerina, an anime empress, a watercolour witch and fox, calligraphy of amy winehouse saying fuck a lot, headphones in graffiti stencil, alice looking at the cheshire cat, and a shelf of sapphic romance novels i listen to basically what you'd expect. it's a cold, hard world, so my tunes are largely fluffy to cus...

  à propos of nothing but @ellesaurus@toot.lgbt making a cute funny about one of its members, i remind you of my sapphic, witch, romance list on bookwyrm. lately it's been more sapphic and less witch, but it varies by season as i note on the list, it is ordered roughly by how many copies i own (many are books i'm looking forward to but haven't yet read)

  in my ire at hugo, i started toying with #eleventy / #11ty. luckily, i didn't burn too much time on it before discovering that it was recently bought by font awesome and rebranded as 'build awesome' ( ! :neofox_facepalm: ) i can (just) suspend judgement on being taken commercial, but a name change like that tells me everything i need to know

  gentle data reminder, from a paywalled article in the financial times about airbnb expanding to hotels : Airbnb’s [head of hotels, Jesse] Stein said as well as its competitive fee structure, hotel owners would gravitate to the platform because of its pool of “young and affluent consumers” and the “insane amount of data” it held on users’ preferences. insane amounts of data. that's what we're providing these companies with, in their own words. sure, ai is stealing some, but we're sh...

  once upon a time somebody had concerns about a #GSoC proposal to #MusicBrainz and whether they were going to be receptive to a flood of vibe-coded edits to the database. i just saw that they have published a very clear statement. fwiw. emphasis theirs We discourage the use of AI tools in communications and contributions. The goal of GSoC is for you to learn and improve your skills, not just to finish your project at any cost. However, if you do use any AI or LLMs, you must disclose their use...
