I use AirVpn. Seems good (no logs, etc) and they allow payment via bitcoin.

I moved to them as they allow port forwarding when many others were dropping the option

He said this back when he unsuccessfully ran for leader back in 2015 or 2019 (can’t remember which) and has recently said that labour got it wrong about how they reacted to Gaza (whether that includes actively participating in the genocide, proscribing the group that were protesting it and jailing some of those protestors under terrorism legislation remains to be seen).

Seeing as he has kept the same home secretary that excitedly wanked herself into a froth about purging forward with the surveillance state and oversaw jailing those protestors, I don’t really hold out much hope but if he continues with a lot of the same policies as his predecessor, he will be absolutely fucked in the election in a couple of years.

And scrap the met police roll out of fixed position facial recognition cameras across London

But seriously, boss—I’m tired

Unfortunately, that’s their game plan: be an unrelenting bureaucracy that grinds you down so you eventually just give in and finally accept it as it is now then passively accept what they come up with next.

I use AirVpn as they allow port forwarding and are reasonably priced. They are no logs and allow payment through non-bank methods

What makes you think I was even involved?

How dare you accuse me of such nonsense!

If that were the case then people would be so well behaved considering that people post everything to social media nowadays.

Or maybe this psychopathic piece of shit knows HE would behave if he was being monitored again proving that every accusation is really just a confession?

Wasn’t that also one of the episodes of “Tales of the Unexpected”?

Perhaps most glaringly, the Financial Times‘ Richard Waters asks in a new piece, is whether SpaceX will be able to justify its unprecedented valuation five or ten years from now.

So the journalist of this article has nothing really and is carrying out some embarrassing shabby work.

Space X cannot justify it’s valuation right now and this article does nothing to question that. Instead it’s like a bunch of gossiping hairdressers all trying to guess who and when someone is going say the emperor has no clothes

And you can totally hear the difference between when somebody is phoning it in or using a programmed synthesizer versus when they are emoting with their soul with every note that they play.

Something I’ve learnt is that some of the music that I connect the most with is very simple but has beautiful and surprisingly sophisticated coalescence.

Also small movement and modulation in the elements goes a long way to trick the brain into accepting the same patterns repeatedly but thinking it’s constantly evolving

I think it’s just that I want that analogue synths feel and experience without having to buy the hardware until I know wtf I’m doing

Using modular isn’t about that “analogue feel” but about a paradigm to patching and building bespoke synths from the block level.

If you want analogue feel, get a simple 1 oscillator VST that replicates something like an SH-101 (the TAL version is cheap enough and a great plugin). It’s interface is simple and nothing is hidden in menus then you can watch untold videos sitting how to get more out of it.

Then move up to simple 2 or 3 oscillator synths that replicate the Prophet 5 (2 osc) or the Mini Moog (3 osc but monophonic).

He does most of his videos using Rack and does great breakdowns of his patches.

That incident with Bob the scaffolder

For those who don’t know, when you put “”“news”“” in triple quotes, it is literal.

They have a broadcast license as an “entertainment channel”, not as a news one.

I saw a video the other day from an anaesthetist that explained the caffeine is a very similar shape to adenosine that your body produces throughout the day that eventually causes you to fall asleep.

The caffeine therefore locks into the receptors, blocking its absorption and giving you a wake up boost.

It separates the wheat from the chaff in my industry.

Is that the old, or new school?

I pull my bed covers over my head and huff my own farts until I see stars then the universe lets me know that I’m correct about everything
