@esvrld@octodon.social hahaha this is so true that several languages are base five. It takes some getting used to, but it works 🤣

@craigmod That'd do!

@craigmod or even better, Vim 🤣

@glizzyborden@mstdn.social I listen to pink noise on a bassy speaker system to help with this. As an added bonus, it blocks out annoying sounds from outside that are more frustrating than anxiety inducing, which means I can sleep past 7.30AM if I've either struggled to sleep at all or only just managed to get there (as in, almost always...)

Digitakt OS 1.50 - An amazing update. Nothing we couldn't already do, but the workflow for chops and time stretching is so so simple now. Very elegant. Grab it here: https://www.elektronauts.com/t/digitakt-os-1-50/189531 If you didn't know, now you know, and I kind of wish I didn't. I already had so much work to do, and after messing around all morning, now I have even more!

@omi_geek the same thing happened in America in the 1990s with their cryptography wars. Hopefully some smart people can work together to keep technologies open and distributed.

@omi_geek not entirely true. The web used to be open and decentralised (email, RSS, open and standard protocols like IRC, etc, etc) then existing social media platforms invented walled gardens. Nevertheless, I agree that it isn't desirable to discuss them. They are best relegated to the mists of time and used only as a reminder of how bad things got so we can steer away from it in the future.

@dodex100v@mastodon.online You're far too humble! And I'm sure both HCB and Leiter would be pleased that their legacy lives on!

@dodex100v@mastodon.online Just want to say I love your work and look forward to every picture you post. Such a distinctive style. The contemplative nature of Saul Leiter mixed with Cartier-Bresson's decisive moment. Modern and yet timeless.

Finally sorting out Gadgetbridge for my smart watch when I have a heap of work to do is definitely not procrastination... Stopping my data being mined by Xiaomi and automating my step count record in my journal is for sure more important than finishing important work and getting paid, right?

@SignalsAndSorcery Zero! There isn't one that deserves my money.

Not sure if I've recommended this before, but I'm really enjoying Phil France's Circle: https://philfrance.bandcamp.com/album/circle

this was more interesting than I anticipated https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dwr9e74S_J4 - via https://www.openculture.com/2020/03/take-a-3d-tour-through-ancient-giza-including-the-great-pyramids-the-sphinx-more.html

@gallaimage Guess it depends on which side of the fence you're sat on. Certainly someone else's interpretation of your work is not your responsibility, but isn't your response to a work of art an interpretation?
