  • I have the CD-ROM version of this they features a full orchestral score in red book (live) audio that can just be played in a CD player. I didn’t actually even know there was a MIDI score.

  • For anyone who checks the comments I have a question unrelated to the content - when you see an article like this that you know has incorrect information, do you tend to upvote (to give visibility to the corrected info in the comments) or downvote it (because it’s incorrect in the first place)?

  • About 15 years ago my kid was given a picture book called The Curious Garden about a little boy who practices guerilla gardening in NYC which eventually grows (via community action) into to the High Line Garden.

    Ever since then I’ve tried to keep packets of native wildflowers on me. There are a lot of semi-overgrown and underutilized areas where I live, and I can think of a few spots now that have regular outbreaks of wildflowers because I happened to be passing by one day.

  • I buy DVD/Blu-Ray collections and rip them. Facebook marketplace (the only thing I would ever think of using FB for, and obviously in a containered browser, etc), OfferUp, EBay, etc make it more affordable, and also really make me realize how little I want to bother having a copy of.

  • Plus the unlimited data only applies if you’re renting their modem/router ($10/month) and have xfinity WiFi enabled. If you’re using your own hardware unlimited data adds $30/month, which is exactly what it costs today.

  • So yesterday’s Anthropic victory said that the use of copyrighted works to train LLMs was fair use, but only because Anthropic had been buying and scanning in the media so the first sale doctrine was protecting them. Did the judge in the facebook case now really say that it was ok to pirate the materials in the first place because there was no market harm? That seems impossible, it seems like it would open up a huge loophole in copyright law.

    TIL the first use of the term "brain rot" was in Henry David Thoreau's Walden

    Lock in, chat. If you're on your sigma grindset (or your GenZ/Gen Alpha kids are) you might think I'm delulu, but it's true - Thoreau, a utopian philosopher with big W-rizz, lamented the issue, which he described as one's inability to capture the essence of the condition of a gradual atrophy in the capacity to think critically, concentrate, and be in the world appropriately. It's not bussin, no cap.

    When an instance like lemm.ee shuts down, what happens to the posts and comments?

    While I understand the concept of federation I'm unclear as to what it actually entails at a technical level. When lemm.ee eventually shuts down, will all of that user content (posts, comments, votes, etc) cease to exist? Is it mirrored on other instances?
