I #sampled a #bunch of #YouTubers (in 2019) - Once Upon a #Synth

top

This is a throwback to 2019 when I went to a #synth event in #Germany with a bunch of content #creators and #sampled some of them saying random things into a mic. Then I stitched it all together into a beat using a custom piece of software I wrote. I posted this a while back but the old #video had a long #vlog intro so I figured I'd share just the #music part cause I feel like it got lost in the #noise.

" #SomewhereInDetroit": #Underground #Resistance, #Submerge, #Techno and the #DetroitWay - #RolandChannel

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5ErxKvL_zzU

Somewhere in #Detroit is a new #short #film about Detroit’s greatest #musical collective since #Motown, the cooperative and record label dubbed Submerge and #UR ( #UndergroundResistance). The mini-documentary reveals intimate conversations, providing unique insights into the tight-knit co-op at the center of Detroit techno—the #creators, #pioneers, and #futurists who embody the spirit of the genre.

Roland Articles has also published an in-depth story, “Underground Resistance, Submerge, and the Detroit Way,” featuring voices from the documentary expanding on its themes with exclusive anecdotes. https://articles.roland.com/the-detroit-way/

Why None of my Books Are Available on Audible:

And Why Amazon Owes Me $3,218.55

by Cory Doctorow

So now there is one Cory Doctorow audio book on Audible, and it's all about how Audible screws over writers, publishers, audio book narrators, and customers.

You can read the text here. https://pluralistic.net/2022/07/25/can-you-hear-me-now/

You can listen to Cory read it here. https://archive.org/download/Cory_Doctorow_Podcast_431/Cory_Doctorow_Podcast_431_-_Why_none_of_my_books_are_available_on_Audible.mp3 It starts at 4:26. This is the latest episode of the Cory Doctorow podcast, so there is other stuff too.

It is now available as an ebook for Kindle for $0.98 (presumably with DRM) on Amazon. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0B5RWTPR7/

And, finally, the audio of Cory reading it is now available on Audible (definitely with DRM). https://www.audible.com/pd/B0B7KH8KSD

In 2011, I gave a speech at Berlin's Chaos Communications Congress called "The Coming War on General Purpose Computing." In it, I explained that Digital Rights Management was technologically incoherent, a bizarre fantasy in which untrusted users of computers could be given encrypted files and all the tools needed to decrypt them, but somehow be prevented from using those decrypted files in ways that conflicted with the preferences of the company that supplied those files:\

\
As I said then, computers are stubbornly, inescapably "general purpose." The only computer we know how to make – the Turing-complete von Neumann machine – is the computer that can run all the programs we know how to write. When someone claims to have built a computer-powered "appliance" – say, a smart speaker or (God help us all) a smart toaster – that can only run certain programs, what they mean is that they've designed a computer that can run every program, but which will refuse to run programs unless the manufacturer approves them.

BTW, here's the RSS feed for the Cory Doctorow podcast. https://feeds.feedburner.com/doctorow_podcast

#Flattr released no blog post since March 2018. The browser plugin is a good idea. But despite all assurances of transparency, it's stilll complete intransparent to me why some flatterable sites are disabled by default while others are enabled. Why isn't there at least an option to enable all sites by default? I mean, if the site is crap, I would leave immediately and no flattr occurs. Isn't this the basic concept of the browser extension? The way it is now, the old flattr button was easier to use than to enable the switch in the plugin. I found this in the source code on github (at least they kept their promise to make it open source):

"Flattr provides a list of flattrable sites. This list contains " +
"the content sites which we have enabled automatic flattring with " +
"our attention and engagement algorithm by default. If you want to " +
"enable or disable sites manually you can do that from the Flattr " +
"interface while visiting a domain."

Why this arbitrary preselection? Don't they trust their users to make the right decisions? Or don't they trust their own technology? Or is this an exclusive service for Eyeo clients? Why are they restraining their own product?
