You can find anything from AliExpress but I especially love products where the product photos are just clearly photoshopped

Finland's and Sweden's NATO applications are stuck now because Erdoğan is blocking them. There's a ton of news articles about this but here's a relatively new one https://yle.fi/news/3-12495782

idm is such an unfortunate name for music that's just experimental electronic and techno and has more styles of electronic used in it's production.
A lot of IDM just really isn't what I would call experimental. Using 20-30 year old genre tropes isn't really "experimenting" with anything, f.e. the microtonal acid stuff was done to death already 10 years ago.
I don't mean this in a way that experimentalism is somehow mandatory. Also there's a fuckton of truly experimental wank that's absolutely horrible. I'm just saying that "experimental" doesn't apply that well to what gets called IDM and kind of dilutes the meaning of "experimental", i.e. experimenting with some completely new ways of making music.

Found this on youtube. Sounds like a club version of Make It Rain

QuoteSave for exceptions like Autechre, most of the folks deserving of a spot on IDM’s Mount Rushmore drop new material in infrequent bursts, often adhering to the glitchy palette of their early work. Like veteran jazz artists or jam bands, they work within their brain-tickling, technically proficient wheelhouse—they still churn out good stuff, but it’s functionally dad rock for lapsed ravers.
lol
It's funny because it's true.

I had a dream I was in some kind of a party in a big mansion. I was at the balcony with some lady and we were looking at a pond in the garden. She said there is a man lying in the bottom of the pond and so I looked and there was a man's body below the green water. We figured that it must be some kind of a prank and laughed about it. Then the man in the pond opened his eyes and we laughed more thinking that we got him busted. Then the man turned his gaze to us, opened his eyes wide and made a huge grinning face and started to laugh. I started to get scared and we shouted to other people to come look at him. When we turned back the man was gone and we started to hear horrified screaming from inside the house. Then I woke up in a cold sweat.

TBH, the 5% bot amount feels like it's way off. More than 5% of accounts I was actively FOLLOWING were bots. Also there are probably quite a lot of dupes. At one point I had three accounts myself and one of them was a bot, a kind of IRC/Twitter/SMS bridge back when mobile internet wasn't so common.

Hmmm, well I'm glad to hear things worked out for her. Were/are you content with things being on the more mediocre and boring side, or did it make you want to shake things up a bit?
Well, sometime after that when I got laid off from work I gave up my apartment and bought a one-way ticket to the Caribbean and spent about 8 months traveling without a permanent residence. But I don't think it was that particular date that made me do it, but it was something I had been planning for years and the opportunity just came then. Maybe talking with her gave some extra push though.

Well, were they any good?
Yeah, they were pretty good and she got into some art school later. She was just very bohemian or something I guess.
Not relating to the art but let's say some bit questionable life choices, though not drugs, it seemed like she was heading for trouble at the time. But what I heard from her a couple of years later she seemed to be doing ok. On that date I also realized that my own life is very mediocre and practically boring.

You know how when you're getting to know someone who's creative, and it's always cool to have them share their art or whatever... well, this is still true for me. But usually it's just a poem, or a song they wrote, or maybe a painting they did. So you can briefly check it out and enjoy it, give some feedback, etc. ... Yeah, it dawned on me in this new relationship that I really have my work cut out for me. The writing she wanted to share, which appeared in my inbox, is fucking 500+ pages hahahahaha. I mean, I knew it was coming. But the thought of me casually getting through that in a reasonable time frame while still just going about my life normally is fucking hilarious. I read at a snail's pace, and there is already so much stuff I've meant to get caught up on. It's okay though, I've already explained I'm damned near functionally illiterate, despite having a good understanding of composition, and a deep appreciation for writing, stories, and a desire to be more well read.
But yeah... such a big leap from "here's a poem I did years ago that I'm really proud of" to "here's the first couple parts of my fucking epic novel." Hahahahaha... I like it though. Still works as a SFWP imhotyvm.On one first date I went to the woman brought her art portfolio to show. Like a literal folder filled with paintings and drawings. On the first date. In a cafe.

You can get free demo versions for most DAWs and other audio software so I would just play around with them until I find something that suits me.
Anyway, Renoise has been really great. It costs only 75USD/68€ (free upgrades included) and it's basically a fully fledged DAW with a tracker interface and it's very very versatile. It also works well with a low-spec PC unless you load it up with hundreds of VST plug-ins, but even then you can render the instruments to samples (there's an automation to do this) or render whole tracks to samples and then use them through the sampler interface. But I have to say it probably has a pretty steep learning curve if you start from scratch.
I've gone 100% software so I don't even use audio or midi interface anymore. So don't know about that stuff. I just use Zoom H1 in case I want to record some audio.

Here's a nice video about the whole Celsius shitshow that has been going on for the past few days. Basically people gave their money to Celsius and have little hope of ever getting it back.
