Those early albums often consist of material that was basically battle-hardened by the time it reached the studio. Bands early in their career often spend lots of time all in the s…

Metal, punk, hardcore - any type of heavy music, really, should reject AI-made slop. If you’re a fan and/or maker of them and are not just wearing the genres as an aesthetic, you f…

There’s someone in this thread unironically suggesting this.

HN: If the AI spam doesn’t drive you away, can we tempt you with constantly drooling over rent seeking apps, privacy violations, the surveillance state, and worshipping our technof…

I'm a big fan of strength training, but think it too often gets suggested as the solution to every problem, when really, we need some mix of strength training, cardio (anything fro…

>> Cassettes are the worst way to listen to music ever invented. >Except for creating portable playlists, sure. I think it was the frontman for Phish that said something like “meta…

What fraction of that time goes to subsidizing the exponentially wealthier? We could just tax the hell out of the rich and and make better lives for the vast majority of us, while …

No. It’s accountability. There’s a reason real LEO have to identify themselves. You seem to be ok with having a secret police.

I am regularly reminded that this site is filled not just with tech enthusiasts, but bootlickers that would do the dirty work of Zuck, Musk, and the current administration, all for…

Then don’t be a cop, if you’re too scared. Law enforcement barely has any accountability as it is. Legit LEO do not hide their identity because they are accountable to the populati…

I love Igorrr, but still have mixed feelings about the AI-assisted video. They were capable of making videos weird and unhinged in the past without its use.

Expecting the Perl community, with it's TMTOWTDI (There's More than One Way to Do It) ethos, to come together and be the drivers of the next version.

> Trump claims It’s safe at this point to always assume the opposite of what he claims. Seems pretty clear he and his cohorts are going to cancel everything, funnel money into thei…

I like the 1, 2, and 4 changes. My feelings about 3 and 6 are mixed. Absolutely dislike the last.

They’re are plenty of bigot-loving Reddit clones, if that’s your thing.

I’m not sure that Reddit doing the same thing is a big a problem as random acts of admin overreach and the looming threat of old Reddit going away. The moment that happens, I’m don…

It’s not just the AI bubble. Think of all the public services, rights, and scientific and medical research being destroyed by rightwing extremists and their billionaire enablers. I…

This reads like, "It's a banana, Michael, what could it cost, $10?".

Seems to be common at the extreme levels of wealth

Just wait until the rush of commenters that insist you’re wrong about being offended that they want to automate and commodify every aspect of your life.

I’ve played mostly hard rock and metal, and am often the only band member with actual music theory knowledge (as the drummer, no less!). I’ve watched a number of bandmates resist l…

I wish I could share your optimism that they will see the light, at least before causing massive amounts of pain and suffering.

So if we're nice to the billionaires, they may return that kindness with table scraps - if we're lucky? Sounds like the tech version of trickle-down economics.

Is this your first day on earth. You sound like you're new here. The wealth-hoarding overlords won't allow for that.
