I don't know if this deserves it's own topic. I thought about putting it in the films recently watched but it's not a film recently watched. Then I thought putting it in the Danke Memes topic but I don't know if this is a meme. Or if it's dank. Anyway, I'll just leave this here:

A guy who I went to uni with (a cunt) is currently running against Boris Johnson in the forthcoming GE. If he manages to win, then Boris can't be PM, so I'm periodically leaking stuff to the press about this guy. Impressed? You should be.

What happened, who thinks this is OK? The original two sites were near perfect. Its almost like, from there, they tried to make things incrementally more ugly and hard to navigate. Its hard to wrap my head around what went into making it so fucking terrible. Only bringing this up because I accidentally landed on the site for the first time in almost two years and it blew me away.

I think this is about due... I sold off some of my D/SLR camera equipment to get into film. Voigtlander Bessa R4A - been wanting an M-mount rangefinder for a really long time and grew inpatient for a digital full frame that didnt cost as much as a car. Used a few Voigtlander f-mount lens on my Nikon and the optics were superb for the price. Voigtlander Color-Skopar 21mm f4 Voigtlander Nokton 40mm f/1.4

Just got a request for a recently joined member's account to be deleted. When asked why: I apologised on our behalf and thought this was worth bringing to everyone's attention - and this is not the first kind of request like this I've had to honour for similar reasons. Let's all try to be a bit more empathetic towards each other and not let this kind of behaviour define us as a community.

Hi all. I have been without my PC for a couple or three weeks, and more importantly, without my beloved Reason. It's been.....shit. But on the bright side, not only do I have my PC again, I have bought a new keyboard - finally. I have been doing everything by programming or using the PC keyboard, now I can actually play parts...awesome. And I am working my way through the Piano Grades, so I can pick up that again - I'm so chuffed!! Anyway, just thought I would say a quick hello to y'all - hope everyone is well... David PS I have a problem I can't solve regarding my new keyboard and Reason, is there somewhere here I could post it for some help??

morning watmm! i have a lot of music on my external disks. alot of which is just sitting there waiting to be discovered. i used to be happy with foobar2000 but now i'm on a mac, so i'm stuck with gnarly vlc. vlc is a very good video player, not a very good music player. having used the good itunes (back in the days) and spotify now i'm also realizing that i need more of a music library app – not just a player – to categorize, shuffle, search and discover my music. it's uninspiring and boring to dig through tons of files and directories with no album art or categorization, as you all know. i'd really like to just index a directory with all my files, have the album art…

I was reading discogs' best of 2010's when i started feeling time in a big way. Even though two months is not a lot of time for change, it will begin a new decade of trends, culture, growth, decline, politics, art, and MUSIC. I think about the movements of the 60's, the reputation of the 80's, the dynamic change of the 00's. I'm equal parts optimistic and pessimistic about these next ten years, but above all realistic, so one can't help but ponder what's next What kind of shit do y'all think lies in wait for the roaring unknown 20's?

I can't imagine how our world will change when quantum computing becomes the norm. Machines that are millions or billions of times more intelligent than we are. We will integrate them into our lives and depend on them like never before. The rest of this century is gonna be an amazing time of change, for better and worse. https://www.moneycontrol.com/news/world/google-announces-breakthrough-in-quantum-computing-research-4568371.html/amp

I used to have it but been looking through my collection and I cannot find it to save my life. Can anyone help with this at all? I think it was made by that old troll Aleczandah if it is any help. I don't know if I have broken rules or not doing this but if anyone can help I will love them forever. Thanks.
