@mcc i'm almost feeling nostalgic for Atom, but Atom would probably be exactly the same if it was still popular
@ratsnakegames @psilocervineStygian Abyss Pie Factory I'm still using Sublime Text, which is the thing that both Atom and VSC were ripping off, which I've been using since 2010. It still hasn't changed, I can still use my themes from 2010, it is still not AI-brained. It is closed source and costs money but in practice that means "I am supporting the developers, instead of a huge corporation giving the product away for free so they can extract something for me later".
I actually only ever pull out VSC for C#

여담으로 페트병도 괜찮긴한데 튼튼한 페트병으로 하셔야하고요 수명은 약간 짧습니다 2-3년 정도 추천하더라고요 그 이상 넣으려면 전용 컨테이너가 좋습니다.

쌀은 진공 밀봉 컨테이너에 산소와 습기 제거제 넣고 그리고 마늘과 고추 이런거 같이 넣어두면 됩니다. 마늘 고추는 벌레 제거용인데 한국에서는 아마 전용 약제를 팔것이고요 미국은 딱히 안파는것 같아서... 전통(?)방법대로 해보니까 잘되더라고요 안넣어두면 가끔 벌레 생깁니다 하여간 요렇게 해두면 문제없이 몇년 갑니다 판데믹때 제가 너무 쫄아서 이것저것 많이 사뒀는데 그때 사둔 쌀이 아직도 있음 하-하 본의아니게 그때 이후로 약간 프레퍼가 됬음;;

Thousands of rare American songs spanning jazz, blues and gospel — some more than a century old — are now available for the public to enjoy online.
That’s thanks to a collaboration between UC Santa Barbara and the nonprofit Dust-to-Digital Foundation , which digitized the recordings from rare and aging music collections.

People seem interested in my question about cyberdeck building, so I'll write out what I want to do in case anyone else has resources or suggestions:
In 2024, I started performing solo improvised-electronic music shows (as Void Femmes) with a modular synthesizer and a typewriter, connected via a contact mic. The takeaway is that having the typewriter in the setup gave the audience something to focus on and come up with their own narratives about. It was weirdly powerful!
For the next iteration of the live Void Femmes project, I want to incorporate a computer of some kind so I can play the techno I've been releasing.
I don't want a laptop on stage because I just don't like what they do to the "diorama" I have in my head when I envision what this might look like.
I think some kind of lightweight Linux DAW that can play back sectioned stems with a synced clock output (for program change messages to pedals, etc) would be amazing IF I could run it on a computer that makes the audience think "what the fuck is that?".
A cyberdeck (pelican case and 40% ortho mech build probably?) would do what the typewriter does, in that it becomes a narrative focal point for the audience. I'm clearly focused on aesthetics but I really do like the idea of a lightweight but odd-looking computer to act as a _functional_ set piece.
Does that make sense? I'm curious if people have tried this kind of thing before and have suggestions for things like what flavour of linux to use, which software might do what I need, and if they know of a good / complete build guide (hahaaaaa...).
Do you know of a community that could use their own Federated mapping server? Please DM me.
In six weeks, I've made TONS of progress on Atlas Maps, and I'm confident with real people using it in the field.

So I spent this morning reaching out to a handful of integrators and consultants, but I can't find everyone.
Please help me reach out to the activists, builders, and organizers you know who need to map local events in their communities.
Who should I contact next?

What I'm listening to today: "05 Feed The Fire Pt 2 Master 1", lesserbirdman
Okay so I'm … honestly not sure if you'll be able to listen to this without a Tidal account, but it worked in some tests. This is a catchy, high-energy, slightly spooky, grunge/metal track that exists *only* on Tidal. Not Spotify or any other streaming service, can't buy it from Bandcamp or Apple. No net presence, no Allmusic artist page, nothing on Google. No bio on Tidal. Hapax_legomenon.mp3

This particular cohort of zoomer musicians seems to return a lot to the suggestion of being at an electronica event but at the far end of the room, the music filtered through crappy speakers and the acoustics of a room larger than the event needed. This particular cohort of zoomer musicians makes music that seems shot through with a sense of loneliness
