Quick plug for https://halocraftofficial.bandcamp.com/album/chains-for-the-sea
Chanced on the album earlier today. One of the fastest Bandcamp 'buy it now' moments in a long time.
The whole thing is so good, and the end (She Speaks of Stars) is amazing.
Tried my hand on a little bit of animation to promote my new track "Mechanics". Hope I didn't fail 😂 😂 😂 Full track here: https://soundcloud.com/dreikelvin/mechanics
Having a look on the web for stuff I read years ago and could use now, and gutted by how many resources have just disappeared over the years, anything from robotics to diy guitar effect pedals to sewing patterns, it's all a forest of dead links, server errors and cybersquatting domain names.
If you really like something or feel it will be useful one day, point web.archive.org to it and save a local copy, better a cluttered hard drive now than irretrievable information later.
#VirtuaVerse cool as...
A #cyberpunk epic point & click adventure musically backed (and story written by) MASTER BOOT RECORD.
and I quote its blurb..
"Travelling around the world, he'll have to walk across hardware graveyards, deal with digital archeology, tribes of cryptoshamans, and virtual reality debauchery."
Everything about it has me lathered up, salivating and expectant.
I loudly applaud the rise of projects that make self-hosting apps & services easy!

Self-hosting is made more accessible day by day, even for non-techies. Decentralize!
DO NOT WATCH THE VIDEOS
That was their plan. That's why they made videos. Take that victory away from their grasp. #NewZealand

Taking my time on this one. I coulda gotten it done faster, but I'm really enjoying the process. So why not.
This bullshit open letter from Zuckerberg is (once again) only a communication strategy.
He puts the emphasis on "privacy = encrypted messaging".
It is, obviously, but it's only the very top of the iceberg. Facebook is still a fucking threat to privacy because of the data mining/farming they do on people's interactions inside and outside of their ecosystem.

Recycling programs are grinding to a halt. Much of what we carefully separate into green bins now ends up in landfills or incinerators.
The Atlantic says, "Americans have had little incentive to consume less." But consumer habits aren't the problem.
We consume what's available to us. Capitalists need to stop pretending that market demand exists in a vacuum, and companies need to start taking responsibility for the shit they manufacture.
