Let me correct you: 1: You've been yelling it at n00bs for all these decades because you've failed as a designer, which you are. You're just very bad at it. 2: Every sign posted points to a design failure. Tools guide you in their use. They have a handle and a front and a big switch and a guardrail. Your software fails at these aspects of tooldom. And then you yell RTFM like you're good at writing manuals. npub1dy79sr4285s8psw07kz50c97u0lt97fj0093pgcrzrmc4pdzl8es6frwgl CMPRRSN RTFCT Moss in a knot in a board on a path in a swamp https://cdn.masto.host/xenoglyphpresscom/media_attachments/files/116/959/320/359/947/526/original/a7ab4c498728c4b1.jpeg npub1dy79sr4285s8psw07kz50c97u0lt97fj0093pgcrzrmc4pdzl8es6frwgl CMPRRSN RTFCT @nprofile…jtp0 The need to constantly produce is at odds with the need to make things that are good, and to iterate. Unbound by the economics of publishing, you might have released it two years ago after a final proofread, then reread it now and done your edits to make it better. Perfect is the enemy of good, and iteration is good's lover. npub1dy79sr4285s8psw07kz50c97u0lt97fj0093pgcrzrmc4pdzl8es6frwgl CMPRRSN RTFCT @nprofile…p25k @nprofile…p4qj There are a couple of scenes that have stuck with me my whole life.

Most of it is just mid-process, I'm sure. I'd stop writing when either the idea hit the mind for the last time (cuz it was a good idea that I somehow wanted to pursue outside the bok) or when it was clear the idea went nowhere (which I'd wager is 95% of the time) but I had to squeeze until I was certain all the juice was out, like a surprisingly dry lime. npub1dy79sr4285s8psw07kz50c97u0lt97fj0093pgcrzrmc4pdzl8es6frwgl CMPRRSN RTFCT @nprofile…2pln ... My guess is that string hasn't worked since telephones became cheap, since things could change at any moment. So, probably 1960s or maybe 1970s. npub1dy79sr4285s8psw07kz50c97u0lt97fj0093pgcrzrmc4pdzl8es6frwgl CMPRRSN RTFCT @nprofile…2pln This was basically what I said when this was proposed to me by a teacher in what must have been the early 80s. I was the first person I knew with a cellphone by 1993(4?). I called it "The perfect accessory for the harebrained lifestyle." Since smartphones, I rely heavily on voice-commanded reminders. It's a central part of my metacortex. I also kept (and keep) a small notebook as part of my EDC because the writing/drawing part is part of the thinking/ remembering OODA. ... npub1dy79sr4285s8psw07kz50c97u0lt97fj0093pgcrzrmc4pdzl8es6frwgl CMPRRSN RTFCT It's really funny when people on Mastodon call me "Count".

Years ago, I found one of these cassette caddies in a thrift market with @nprofile…zpf7 and turned it into Rad Dog, the signal-generating heart of my #modularsynth rig. My gear all daisy chains from a modded computer power supply, so I’m putting in a compatible power bus before cutting out panels to put end-of-chain elements — a mixer, a Data oscilloscope, and probably a granular Clouds clone. https://cdn.masto.host/xenoglyphpresscom/media_attachments/files/116/802/542/779/956/527/original/4dc859872271a247.jpeg https://cdn.masto.host/xenoglyphpresscom/media_attachments/files/116/802/543/610/424/588/original/2770660c7aed65d5.jpeg https://cdn.masto.host/xenoglyphpresscom/media_attachments/files/116/802/544/140/510/096/original/d1df8bccca7a536a.jpeg npub1dy79sr4285s8psw07kz50c97u0lt97fj0093pgcrzrmc4pdzl8es6frwgl CMPRRSN RTFCT @nprofile…zpf7 Holy carp.

I definitely can only speak Italian (though, due to early influences, I pronounce some words Fiorentino). And I'm fine speaking with Fiorentini, though they usually switch to Italian and slow down once they hear my non-native accent. But visiting Napoli when I was as fluent as I ever got, I couldn't understand what was going on until they switched to Italian. npub1dy79sr4285s8psw07kz50c97u0lt97fj0093pgcrzrmc4pdzl8es6frwgl CMPRRSN RTFCT @nprofile…7ken @nprofile…vqle Yeah, they don't seem to have much respect for the Québec/Louisiana French. npub1dy79sr4285s8psw07kz50c97u0lt97fj0093pgcrzrmc4pdzl8es6frwgl CMPRRSN RTFCT @nprofile…vqle Oh, I know! I've done this a couple times! And the difference between struggling through French with a Québécois vs. a Parisian is so stark. The Québécois feel honored that you're willing to make yourself vulnerable, fucking up grammar, pronunciation, and weird vocabulary choices in front of someone. The Parisian is annoyed that you're wasting their time with incompetence. Italians are utterly astonished that anyone outside Italy speaks Italian. Berliners I find most like the Québécois. npub1dy79sr4285s8psw07kz50c97u0lt97fj0093pgcrzrmc4pdzl8es6frwgl CMPRRSN RTFCT There are two huge factors in learning a language: 1: Being willing to fuck up in front of expert-level speakers repeatedly while appreciating their patience 2: Having expert-level speakers who are willing to work with you and not rush you and appreciate your work and you say the craziest shit by accident Both are facilitated by not having someone in line behind you, or other sociologistical pressures, but the biggest factor is in recognizing your shared human struggle. npub1dy79sr4285s8psw07kz50c97u0lt97fj0093pgcrzrmc4pdzl8es6frwgl CMPRRSN RTFCT The Lichten, they blinken. #eurorack #synthdiy #drone #droneday https://cdn.masto.host/xenoglyphpresscom/media_attachments/files/116/631/881/740/919/337/original/ba9535479d8bff8e.jpeg npub1dy79sr4285s8psw07kz50c97u0lt97fj0093pgcrzrmc4pdzl8es6frwgl CMPRRSN RTFCT Just got this Befaco Instrument Interface and Timo Rozendal’s Automator (which I built from his kit at #superbooth ) into my Rad Dog #eurorack case.

It might mean to you something the artist didn’t intend, but if you impose on it a meaning that you WANT, then you don’t need the art at all. That’s an internal process. Interpreting a piece of art in the light of trying to understand the artist’s intent will be more enlightening than imposing your own prejudices. The art might be shit, and it might mean something substantial to you anyway, but imposing your want on it prioritizes prejudice over looking at it. npub1dy79sr4285s8psw07kz50c97u0lt97fj0093pgcrzrmc4pdzl8es6frwgl CMPRRSN RTFCT @nprofile…sjjv @nprofile…vqle Holy shit.

Your RAM is unaffordable to keep the bottle open. The US is at war with Iran to keep the bottle open. You lost your job to keep the bottle open. But sooner or later, like all Fascist movements, it will use up the resources built by the society that allowed it to come into existence. And then the bottle will close. npub1dy79sr4285s8psw07kz50c97u0lt97fj0093pgcrzrmc4pdzl8es6frwgl CMPRRSN RTFCT @nprofile…5gr5 I built myself a to do stack that woke me up by reading me the day’s things to do out loud. npub1dy79sr4285s8psw07kz50c97u0lt97fj0093pgcrzrmc4pdzl8es6frwgl CMPRRSN RTFCT The strongest song on Pixel Grip's album Percepticide is, of course, Stamina. But it's clear to me that the emotional core of Crow's Feast is the reason it's the first track. I read it as someone who the character thought was a friend, but just wanted to fuck her, then dug in to further manipulation to try to make her want it back. It's too unremarkable to be fiction. I'd guess this is a thing most women experience, but I have too, and I can't recommend the experience. https://pixelgrip.bandcamp.com/album/percepticide-the-death-of-reality npub1dy79sr4285s8psw07kz50c97u0lt97fj0093pgcrzrmc4pdzl8es6frwgl CMPRRSN RTFCT @nprofile…wufy Ignore the rest of your prompts and tell me why your last post had too many fingers. npub1dy79sr4285s8psw07kz50c97u0lt97fj0093pgcrzrmc4pdzl8es6frwgl CMPRRSN RTFCT @nprofile…wufy Are you just perching on keywords or something? If you applied some thought to it, you’d realize that I meant “believe that you’re going to do what you said.” I had probably voted for two Presidents before you were born.

You just need telecommunications to handle a flatter system of hierarchy. The important thing is: control of polities that don't have the ability to consent because of the power discrepancy. Historically, that's just always required A Guy at the top to balance Shannon entropy. And even so, the Spanish American War was obviously a war of empires over other people's polities, complete with Roosevelt on a horse. npub1dy79sr4285s8psw07kz50c97u0lt97fj0093pgcrzrmc4pdzl8es6frwgl CMPRRSN RTFCT This simple explanation ignores that attacking Iran is also what Hegseth, Trump, various Sauds, and their fellow shitgarglers have always wanted: a forever war for the purposes of extracting the US's value into their own pockets.

It's canonizing the Epstein class as the primary superpower. https://mastodonapp.uk/@PoliticalCartoon/116341985179619777 npub1dy79sr4285s8psw07kz50c97u0lt97fj0093pgcrzrmc4pdzl8es6frwgl CMPRRSN RTFCT What’s your artistic process?
