Last Notes npub13qv0gz6x5m75n3y8k9smhrh8qd39yxv0nzzkfrz9gxg39p46uc3q6cdy40 Alison Wilder @nprofile…ayqg lol "plastic spitter" yet another hobby I really want to have... npub13qv0gz6x5m75n3y8k9smhrh8qd39yxv0nzzkfrz9gxg39p46uc3q6cdy40 Alison Wilder @nprofile…cmq0 oh lord. That doesn't sound great. npub13qv0gz6x5m75n3y8k9smhrh8qd39yxv0nzzkfrz9gxg39p46uc3q6cdy40 Alison Wilder @nprofile…ayqg actually, now that we're talking about this, I might have myself a little photography phase this week! I've taken my self-employed version of a vacay in July (no big projects), so I have time. Glad we had this little chat! :blobcathighfive: npub13qv0gz6x5m75n3y8k9smhrh8qd39yxv0nzzkfrz9gxg39p46uc3q6cdy40 Alison Wilder @nprofile…ayqg haha been there! And I'm not sorry either. Occasionally I have a little photography phase and I have all the stuff. This is why organization is so crucial to those of us who have, like, a lot of hobbies. I don't have to walk around asking where that weird zoom lens from the 60s is, or the adapter thingie that makes it fit on my camera. (Yes, that's correct, I am a well-educated professional photographer.) npub13qv0gz6x5m75n3y8k9smhrh8qd39yxv0nzzkfrz9gxg39p46uc3q6cdy40 Alison Wilder @nprofile…ayqg it's true. For this reason, I've started selling only things that actively piss me off. Other stuff, I've decided I've already taken the hit, and I'll keep it around for that day it's just the right thing. (I also don't buy too much new music stuff these days. Happy equilibrium.) npub13qv0gz6x5m75n3y8k9smhrh8qd39yxv0nzzkfrz9gxg39p46uc3q6cdy40 Alison Wilder A lovely Jungian reading of Spirited Away at The Quietus > Chihiro has matured beyond the need to resort to splitting objects into purely good or purely bad (something some of us never attain; what is social media but splitting at its most vituperative?). https://thequietus.com/opinion-and-essays/anniversary/the-importance-of-ma-spirited-away-at-25/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=the-importance-of-ma-spirited-away-at-25 npub13qv0gz6x5m75n3y8k9smhrh8qd39yxv0nzzkfrz9gxg39p46uc3q6cdy40 Alison Wilder @nprofile…lu82 @nprofile…qltj thank you both! I'm ordering a house full of kits from cleanairkits.com, which is the perfect price/efficacy/effort balance for me. Really appreciate the help! npub13qv0gz6x5m75n3y8k9smhrh8qd39yxv0nzzkfrz9gxg39p46uc3q6cdy40 Alison Wilder @nprofile…qltj thank you! npub13qv0gz6x5m75n3y8k9smhrh8qd39yxv0nzzkfrz9gxg39p46uc3q6cdy40 Alison Wilder @nprofile…6zk2 @nprofile…xl60 I think that's true of the people perpetrating the fraud, but I think your average MAGA voter thinks there's real voter fraud. I've talked to otherwise seemingly smart, reasonable people who believe the 2020 election was stolen from Donald Trump. npub13qv0gz6x5m75n3y8k9smhrh8qd39yxv0nzzkfrz9gxg39p46uc3q6cdy40 Alison Wilder @nprofile…j7q6 okay but hear me out, my new mission is to 3d print a way to hold one together that isn't tape. https://www.printables.com/tag/corsirosenthalbox Srsly though, I really appreciate the feedback! It's clearly an excellent design, and also obvious that the reason there aren't commercial versions is that companies don't want their customers able to replace the filters easily/cheaply. npub13qv0gz6x5m75n3y8k9smhrh8qd39yxv0nzzkfrz9gxg39p46uc3q6cdy40 Alison Wilder @nprofile…2szz :blobcatknife: npub13qv0gz6x5m75n3y8k9smhrh8qd39yxv0nzzkfrz9gxg39p46uc3q6cdy40 Alison Wilder @nprofile…qhvj okay wow, that's cool npub13qv0gz6x5m75n3y8k9smhrh8qd39yxv0nzzkfrz9gxg39p46uc3q6cdy40 Alison Wilder Thank you to all the people who answered in this thread so far. Boosting because it might be helpful to quite a few people who are grappling with the necessity of preparing for smoky summers. There are so many good suggestions for air filtration in the thread. One thing I'm realizing -- even if the Corsi Rosenthal filter method isn't the most aesthetically pleasing, there's something to be said for choosing such a flexible method that could work with any HEPA filters. #ClimateCrisis #climate npub13qv0gz6x5m75n3y8k9smhrh8qd39yxv0nzzkfrz9gxg39p46uc3q6cdy40 Alison Wilder Context: I'm in northern New England, in a house with no central AC, but with window units. npub13qv0gz6x5m75n3y8k9smhrh8qd39yxv0nzzkfrz9gxg39p46uc3q6cdy40 Alison Wilder I clearly need a long-term solution for maintaining my respiratory health when there's wildfire smoke. What are people doing? Anyone recommend specific respirators? (I don't particularly want to rely long term on being able to get a very specific type of filter if that's possible.) Is the Corsi Rosenthal box the best thing for my house? Is there a permanent version I won't hate looking at? (I have basic Levoit purifiers.) #wildfires #MaskUp #corsirosenthalbox npub13qv0gz6x5m75n3y8k9smhrh8qd39yxv0nzzkfrz9gxg39p46uc3q6cdy40 Alison Wilder @nprofile…qf47 DO NOT WANT npub13qv0gz6x5m75n3y8k9smhrh8qd39yxv0nzzkfrz9gxg39p46uc3q6cdy40 Alison Wilder @nprofile…xsv9 just put it on our tab. npub13qv0gz6x5m75n3y8k9smhrh8qd39yxv0nzzkfrz9gxg39p46uc3q6cdy40 Alison Wilder @nprofile…lel8 :blobthanks: @nprofile…0j3v npub13qv0gz6x5m75n3y8k9smhrh8qd39yxv0nzzkfrz9gxg39p46uc3q6cdy40 Alison Wilder @nprofile…3qgh I have three Casios at the moment and I love them all! npub13qv0gz6x5m75n3y8k9smhrh8qd39yxv0nzzkfrz9gxg39p46uc3q6cdy40 Alison Wilder @nprofile…z5ah so did I, but then I stopped stopping. (having it be vaguely legal and going to a store and buying exactly what I want is quite a different story from back in the day. I haven't once purchased cannabis that smells like it just came out of a gas tank.) npub13qv0gz6x5m75n3y8k9smhrh8qd39yxv0nzzkfrz9gxg39p46uc3q6cdy40 Alison Wilder @nprofile…z5ah I mean, if the big testicles were on a big cat, I could see staying sober, but as it is, I really don't see how you could. npub13qv0gz6x5m75n3y8k9smhrh8qd39yxv0nzzkfrz9gxg39p46uc3q6cdy40 Alison Wilder @nprofile…z5ah dear Lord please tell me you have cannabis for these trials npub13qv0gz6x5m75n3y8k9smhrh8qd39yxv0nzzkfrz9gxg39p46uc3q6cdy40 Alison Wilder @nprofile…z5ah it sounds like it's time to get inebriated and stay that way. npub13qv0gz6x5m75n3y8k9smhrh8qd39yxv0nzzkfrz9gxg39p46uc3q6cdy40 Alison Wilder @nprofile…z5ah so, let me see if i understand this correctly. So far your vacation is getting a cold and dealing with wild boar? That is rough. npub13qv0gz6x5m75n3y8k9smhrh8qd39yxv0nzzkfrz9gxg39p46uc3q6cdy40 Alison Wilder @nprofile…ugx0 I've always said about free jazz that I'm glad someone else will listen to it, because it's fun as hell to make! @nprofile…7v38 npub13qv0gz6x5m75n3y8k9smhrh8qd39yxv0nzzkfrz9gxg39p46uc3q6cdy40 Alison Wilder @nprofile…ugx0 yep! I also think each approach in isolation can be great, although honestly, there's not that much fully-improvised music that I come back to again and again. Which is, I guess, exactly in the spirit of improvisation. But it's also why it often doesn't work for me when someone releases a fully-improvised album. I do enjoy seeing good improvisers perform though. @nprofile…7v38 npub13qv0gz6x5m75n3y8k9smhrh8qd39yxv0nzzkfrz9gxg39p46uc3q6cdy40 Alison Wilder @nprofile…65ys i think people are going to have to grow their own. So get yer dirt ready :) npub13qv0gz6x5m75n3y8k9smhrh8qd39yxv0nzzkfrz9gxg39p46uc3q6cdy40 Alison Wilder @nprofile…q8hs thanks :) npub13qv0gz6x5m75n3y8k9smhrh8qd39yxv0nzzkfrz9gxg39p46uc3q6cdy40 Alison Wilder @nprofile…jcfg ❤️ npub13qv0gz6x5m75n3y8k9smhrh8qd39yxv0nzzkfrz9gxg39p46uc3q6cdy40 Alison Wilder This song I've got cooking ☝️ is one I've been working on for a year or two, building sequences and playing it in the studio and on various instruments. This version is from a few months ago during my prep for my Gravitons livestream. This is a fluffed up, long version of what I've got now, which is trim, sculpted, and refined compared to this. But there are things I like about this version, and I think I'm going to end up pulling some samples from it. #ExperimentalPop #CreativeProcess https://cdn.masto.host/iowaxandleathercom/media_attachments/files/116/926/859/705/911/484/original/29145fd10e844716.mp3 npub13qv0gz6x5m75n3y8k9smhrh8qd39yxv0nzzkfrz9gxg39p46uc3q6cdy40 Alison Wilder @nprofile…jcfg I bet!

I was caught up in something else and totally forgot to go! Sorry I missed it, but glad it will be available as a live album. npub13qv0gz6x5m75n3y8k9smhrh8qd39yxv0nzzkfrz9gxg39p46uc3q6cdy40 Alison Wilder I feel like everything I do musically is so much slower than it used to be. Not necessarily tempi (although, honestly, those too), but how long it takes to do things. I'm not sure if things are actually taking more time, or if it's just my perception/attention span that has changed? Anyway, the good news: I have a new song (like, a real song with vocals and guitars and shit) almost done! I think I'll release it as a growing album instead of waiting, because if I wait, it may never happen. npub13qv0gz6x5m75n3y8k9smhrh8qd39yxv0nzzkfrz9gxg39p46uc3q6cdy40 Alison Wilder @nprofile…ya25 haha really?

It grosses me out SO MUCH when she licks me. npub13qv0gz6x5m75n3y8k9smhrh8qd39yxv0nzzkfrz9gxg39p46uc3q6cdy40 Alison Wilder I thought there was a bug crawling on my ankle, but it turned out that Pepper was licking it increeedibly lightly. Just look at that innocent face, she would NEVER. (She is chastised for licking many times a day. She really really really wants to lick me all the time, and she tries hard not to but she just can't stop herself.) #DogsOfMastodon https://cdn.masto.host/iowaxandleathercom/media_attachments/files/116/914/627/092/818/141/original/4ada44a16ddabf03.jpg npub13qv0gz6x5m75n3y8k9smhrh8qd39yxv0nzzkfrz9gxg39p46uc3q6cdy40 Alison Wilder @nprofile…vf35 it's our equivalent of "in bed" https://www.reddit.com/r/NoStupidQuestions/comments/83iyf9/why_do_people_add_in_bed_after_reading_a_fortune/ npub13qv0gz6x5m75n3y8k9smhrh8qd39yxv0nzzkfrz9gxg39p46uc3q6cdy40 Alison Wilder @nprofile…vf35 "I might be a nerd, but" is implied at the beginning of each and every post on the fedi <3 npub13qv0gz6x5m75n3y8k9smhrh8qd39yxv0nzzkfrz9gxg39p46uc3q6cdy40 Alison Wilder @nprofile…uuna wunderbar, danke! npub13qv0gz6x5m75n3y8k9smhrh8qd39yxv0nzzkfrz9gxg39p46uc3q6cdy40 Alison Wilder @nprofile…2wml ahh, Indiana.

(There are loads of Discord channels like that too, but I can't really handle Discord.) npub13qv0gz6x5m75n3y8k9smhrh8qd39yxv0nzzkfrz9gxg39p46uc3q6cdy40 Alison Wilder @nprofile…mmp3 I can easily imagine that! Even just seeing how it's portrayed on Hacks also gives a different sense of it than I've gotten the few times I've gone there, so I figured there was more going on than meets the eye. Oh also Hacks is good if you haven't seen it. :) And Las Vegas is basically a character in it! npub13qv0gz6x5m75n3y8k9smhrh8qd39yxv0nzzkfrz9gxg39p46uc3q6cdy40 Alison Wilder @nprofile…mmp3 (just in case...that's a Holy Grail ref. Not trying to dog on Las Vegas. It's not my favorite place, but I don't know it well enough to know if it's silly through and through. :) npub13qv0gz6x5m75n3y8k9smhrh8qd39yxv0nzzkfrz9gxg39p46uc3q6cdy40 Alison Wilder @nprofile…mmp3 'tis a silly place! npub13qv0gz6x5m75n3y8k9smhrh8qd39yxv0nzzkfrz9gxg39p46uc3q6cdy40 Alison Wilder @nprofile…krw3 that's awesome, thanks! I really appreciate the detailed notes, that's super cool. I'm running a similar MiniPC w/ BazziteOS for Steam on my main media room TV, which is totally great. It's a legit decent gaming experience, probably Steam Machine-like. Just thinking about replacing a Roku in another room where I don't do much, so I think a Pi 4 set up this way would be totally perfect! @nprofile…8ama npub13qv0gz6x5m75n3y8k9smhrh8qd39yxv0nzzkfrz9gxg39p46uc3q6cdy40 Alison Wilder @nprofile…mmp3 that is so much more 21st century Vegas npub13qv0gz6x5m75n3y8k9smhrh8qd39yxv0nzzkfrz9gxg39p46uc3q6cdy40 Alison Wilder @nprofile…4t9g long ago I had the Moogerfooger ring mod, it was crazy good. But I'm pretty sure they're prohibitively expensive now. npub13qv0gz6x5m75n3y8k9smhrh8qd39yxv0nzzkfrz9gxg39p46uc3q6cdy40 Alison Wilder @nprofile…l2j2 yes! npub13qv0gz6x5m75n3y8k9smhrh8qd39yxv0nzzkfrz9gxg39p46uc3q6cdy40 Alison Wilder Have any real live British people here seen the show Rivals?

I feel like I remember seeing something like that a while back, but I should look out for it. npub13qv0gz6x5m75n3y8k9smhrh8qd39yxv0nzzkfrz9gxg39p46uc3q6cdy40 Alison Wilder @nprofile…p6fr cool place! npub13qv0gz6x5m75n3y8k9smhrh8qd39yxv0nzzkfrz9gxg39p46uc3q6cdy40 Alison Wilder @nprofile…yyg0 that's definitely the only strawberry wine we had in West Texas, so that was my middle school (high school?? Not sure what year...) assumption, which I haven't had cause to revisit since. npub13qv0gz6x5m75n3y8k9smhrh8qd39yxv0nzzkfrz9gxg39p46uc3q6cdy40 Alison Wilder @nprofile…fsru omg amazing, I haven't seen this before npub13qv0gz6x5m75n3y8k9smhrh8qd39yxv0nzzkfrz9gxg39p46uc3q6cdy40 Alison Wilder @nprofile…yyg0 so foul 🤣 npub13qv0gz6x5m75n3y8k9smhrh8qd39yxv0nzzkfrz9gxg39p46uc3q6cdy40 Alison Wilder um, there's currently a guy on stage whose only job is making mouth noises into the microphone.

Strawberry Wine is top shelf pop!

I'm not 100% sure it will work for that yet, but either way, I kinda like it! Moog Subharmonicon + Pittsburgh Modular Voltage Lab 2.

Yes, that's what I've seen in my AI-addled brother. So disturbing. npub13qv0gz6x5m75n3y8k9smhrh8qd39yxv0nzzkfrz9gxg39p46uc3q6cdy40 Alison Wilder @nprofile…65qj gotcha. I'd say that's pretty similar in general to the take that the guy in the video expresses re utility. I certainly would not assume that the problem has already been solved in pieces and that an LLM will put it together. Sure, LLMs have done that a couple of times, and impressively. But there are a lot more problems that they have not solved, so I don't see the logic in assuming they would solve the specific problem that makes this business not really that viable. npub13qv0gz6x5m75n3y8k9smhrh8qd39yxv0nzzkfrz9gxg39p46uc3q6cdy40 Alison Wilder "The moment you ask where the power comes from and when it arrives, the entire narrative falls apart in your hands." I'm past tired of hearing about AI, but this person's engineering experience provides a different take than I've seen, and one that seems important and worth sharing to me. h/t @nprofile…ya25, who shared this with me this morning. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sQGZXrzykpU #ai
