in the role of Zimba, me in the role of Rafiki.

https://www.theguardian.com/music/2025/jul/31/spotify-musicians-david-bridie-ntwnfb > Ek isn’t paid a salary by Spotify – he takes a share of its stock, last year alone cashing out a reported $345m. So here we are, artists helping to build algorithms to sell our music – and the success of that algorithm determines the flow of wealth to a man who invests in building machines that could kill people. > > In recent years, we’ve witnessed the horror of AI drone wars in Ukraine and Gaza – children killed and hospitals destroyed with the press of the space bar. Ek is investing in technology that can cause suffering and death. Spotify used to seem like a necessary evil. By association, it now just seems evil.

I was invited to talk about on Lorenzo's Music Podcast. Nice experience! My wife says I'm cute, and her opinion about me is the only one I care about, so I gather it is a success. https://www.lorenzosmusic.com/2025/08/basspistol.html

swede here, just passing by to say: based!

Throw back to the couple of days after getting my masters in Graphic Design, and i received an email from North Korean gov, prompting me to move over there and begin a career in the world's capital of design and high fashion, with pictures of ladies in thick but short fur coats and Cossack hats. For a brief instant i contemplated accepting, just to become the official and historically accurate inventor of techno music.

Is there a list of (semi-)topical, freely readable relays somewhere, or should i put on my digital jaunting hat and compile one during my holidays? #asknostr

Liquidphunk is great to softly energize a day https://arcologies.bandcamp.com/album/tracker (The page lists 28 tracks, but the download has 76) #musicTips

I operate a small instance here: https://v.basspistol.org we're focused on Music, Arts and activism. We don't have the largest disk on earth, but decent bandwidth from a machine located in Switzerland. I feel like your videos could fit well there, so let me know if you want an account.

I like the conclusion very much! We need each other more than protocols! Ever tampered with peertube? It's not perfect by any means, and it's hard to find servers with open registration. But it solves some pain points for grassroots/self hosters. Notably bandwidth, as it leverages webpeer. It leverages activitypub for social features, but is a plugin away from being able to do the same with nostr.

Of course I am allowing robots to scrape my shit. During the long facebacon Desert period (when facebacon was still a thing) robots were my biggest fans. They read and downloaded all my stuff, while humans ignored me completely, captive in a rage-bait loop or some shit.

I genuinely thought the British were fighting AGAINST the Soviet ideals during the cold war.

You know I love your style (particularly in music) This one is too chatGPT:ey for me. Maybe it isn't at all, but the still. Concept is goodz, but you are greater, ser.

Moin moin! 🥐☕🌞
