The original 303 & 606 are pretty crappy plastic machines. The 606 didn’t explode in value in the same way.

Roland, Korg & Yamaha had the ball in their court for years. Uli saw an opportunity and took it.

Korg has also been re-releasing old designs, notably the ARP 2600 & Odyssey.

When I built my xoxbox the demand for 303s was insanely high and Roland could have done what behringer did.

This exorbitant price is actually for your own good!

Yeah when I started out dreaming of machines I had to build my own 303 clone…

All other things aside, 20 dollars for a can of beer!?

Was playing it over midi w my Push 2 and it was 6 semitones too high?

Korea & Afghanistan too.

The consequences of the Iraq blunder are also still resonating.

This is off topic now but yeah the world would have been a different place if someone had listened to the demands of Ho Chi Minh earlier.. and Hammarskjöld had not been crashed

Anyone involved in burning that much energy at the same time as a large part of the planet will cook soon due to energy expenditure is definitely not helping humanity. It’s marketing & empire building all the way down..

They really show their hand in this one no?

I guess legit proof of agi would be unionizing

A friend told me that a Dutch university ordered a custom gamelan tuned chromatically. It was a total failure and sounds terrible. The gamelan are made one by one w the oldest member of the group making his first and everyone tuning theirs from his down in turn, IIRC.

My 87 year old grandma drives her Suzuki Alto from 2000 to her cottage on a hill in the forest. It's a log cabin, 200+ years old. No running water, no electricity except a gas driven generator that powers a pump, and sometimes power tools. There is a lake down the hill for washing oneself and candlelight. Since a few years there is a gas powered tiny fridge, before we only had a cool concrete food storage basement. Now the sandwiches taste normal, storing butter in summer would give a light sourness to them. My grandmothers ex boyfriend installed a solar panel, just enough to charge phones.

Being there for a longer time and coming back to normal life makes you really see what is necessary and not. Also how much work life was in the olden times.

Hacking it is even harder

I guess he never heard that the first reaction to combat is to soil oneself. In the Scandinavian military service I did they taught us to go to the toilet as a readiness maneuver.

Probably a similar ecological footprint to Bitcoin too...

The Steven Donziger story is so insane.

In germany it's the tax advisors

when the main interface steeulters even adults toward the slot machine interface endless brainrot scrolling I think intervention is due. I used to be able to remove the short videos from youtube but that function is gone. For a while it was "hide for 30 days". It's pretty obvious that the addictive quality of the ultra short slop videos that is prioritized these days.

yeah have been struggling w that myself. Good luck!

Effective?

take this hammer, take it to the captain

Digital feudalism. Musk is building a city where he can prohibit worker organizing. Joe Hill died for nothing.

Install Brave Browser for your mom?

Move fast and break literally everything. I am so depressed by what the internet has become. Such potential only to become monopolist behemoth bullshit.

This take makes me profoundly sad. Too much culture war and to little empathy.

I think you have it the wrong way around. The gross product of humans talking about themselves and those around them and gossiping is huge. What else is Twitter really?

The fact that Roger Stone & Trump haven’t faced consequences for jan 6 still amazes me. Edit: spelling

I made an old school linear psu for my arp 2600 clone like that. I etched w something else :)

And the American terror bombings of the north were the heaviest in history.
