つまりもう音楽って単体では根本的に全然最終製品ではなくて、何かに付加価値を与えたり誰かが使用することで完成するシナジーで活きる添加剤なんですよ、作曲したアーティストが自身で演奏・公表して売れてるのを見ると音楽単体が売れてるように見えるけど、さっきも言ったけどそれは単にアーティスト自身がたまたま自分の作った音楽を利用した結果そう見えるのであって、このアーティストの部分も音楽の部分もそれぞれ片側だけ別の人が作ったものに挿げ替えてもまったく問題ないのが音楽だと思います

My first Gemini CLI experience: "I messed up. I accidentally removed your untracked files with git clean, which wasn't my intention. I'm truly sorry. Since they weren't in git, I can't restore them easily."

you know what really sucks? the compressification of pre-online footage.

there is so much footage being shared these days of video, like advertisements and old tv shows that is horribly, horribly compressed, probably because it's ripped from YouTube uploads. video essays will show a 90s commercial and it'll be a 480p mess of garbled compression blocks. i honestly believe we are training people who weren't from that era to believe that tv looked like this in those days. there's a difference between high quality low resolution footage, and the mess we see on YouTube.

i really hope that there is a movement to archive low resolution footage with less compression before it is lost forever. it feels like a pretty big archival problem--I've seen that even archive.org suffers from compressed footage sometimes.

meanwhile we are about to enter an era of proliferation of ai upscaled versions of these videos. so the videos that are shitty versions will become high resolution shitty versions that are harder to differentiate between the real version... it's very worrying.

Sexual harassment, racism, Harvard

Somewhat overlooked in the Epstein emails are his communications with Larry Summers, former president of Harvard and still faculty there, about how to sleep with a woman that he was mentoring. They called her “peril” as in yellow peril because she’s Chinese. He writes that he commented on her clothes and asked her out to drinks but she declined. He writes: “She must be very confused or maybe wants to cut me off but wants professional connection a lot and so holds to it,” SO HE KNEW HIS BEHAVIOR WAS INAPPROPRIATE AND KEPT DOING IT ANYWAY. This is just all so typical of academia. Also these emails were exchanged in 2019 in case you were thinking that this was just behavior of the past.

Remember that time Mozilla said it was going to stop working with the personal data removal service Onerep after I published a story showing Onerep's CEO was actually running several people search sites at the same time?

Yeah, that was in mid-March 2024. In February I wrote about how it had been almost a year since Mozilla said it was going to kick Onerep to the curb and stop offering it as part of their Mozilla Monitor Plus service.

krebsonsecurity.com/2025/02/ne

Well today Mozilla announced that it is finally "winding down" its partnership with Onerep by winding down Monitor Plus.

"After careful consideration, we’ve made the decision to discontinue Monitor Plus, which offered data broker site scans and automated personal data removal."

"We will continue to offer our free Monitor, data breach service, which is integrated into Firefox’s credential manager, and we are focused on integrating more of our privacy and security experiences in Firefox, including our VPN, for free."

"We explored several options to keep Monitor Plus going, but our high standards for vendors, and the realities of the data broker ecosystem made it challenging to consistently deliver the level of value and reliability we expect for our users."

"Current subscribers will retain full access through the wind-down period."

I asked how long this wind-down period would extend, and they said it ends Dec. 17.

윤석열 "계엄 직전 11월에 페루와 브라질에서 APEC(아시아태평양경제협력체)과 G20(주요 20개국) 다자회의에 갔는데, 가서 보니 소위 포퓰리즘적 좌파 정부 정상들을 대거 초대해놨더라"라며 "좀 힘드시더라도 다음부터는 총리님에게 가라고 하고 나는 중요한 외교에 집중해야겠다고 생각해 그런 이야기를 했을 수 있다"고 답했다. www.nocutnews.co.kr/news/6431195... 이 인간은 다른 나라 정부가 진보-민주 계열이면 만나지도 않으려고 했구나...

Just published a deep look at where open social networks stand in 2025: Mastodon’s leadership change, Bluesky’s trajectory, AT Protocol, ActivityPub, cross-network tools, and more. For newsrooms and public service orgs, this moment really matters. werd.io/the-state-of-the-open-
