    > I would consider this a hobby because it costs me money and I get no value out of it outside of the act. Boy isn't that the truth haha, I feel like my previous phase of dotfile r…

    The problem with this idea is that it operates on the assumption that consumers will actually care about "provenance" on art. I just don't really buy that the set of people who car…

    I can no longer see images of cave paintings without having The Caves of Altamira start up in my head. There's worse conditions! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m_5MtGCWImE

    All kinds of random stuff really, but to filter it down to only the noteworthy ones: Tuber[0] - this is my favorite, use it multiple times a week. It's just a little CLI wrapper ar…

    Bandlab is decent enough for this, yeah. It's not "version control" in the way that programmers are used to, not by any means. More like "Google Docs" but for a DAW session. Certai…

    I might be wrong about this, but at least in my experience you just can't "next next next." There's too much complexity! I'm essentially the maintainer of a series of accounts for …

    I like that idea, almost like a prioritized queue of content - show me the stuff I'm sure to want to see first, and then just gimme whatever. In the context of NPR, the "stuff I'm …
