Good morning, Fulda!
My mic stand has finally become what it was always meant to be: a clothes drying rack.

I've opened up the repo for my #mico controller - a tiny and cheap 14 bit midi controller based on the #raspberrypi #pico. It includes the hardware design, the firmware, a 3d-printable enclosure and a SuperCollider package for an easy to use interface.

Locrian mode lullaby. Don't think I'd try to use that to get my 5-yo to bed...
Getting a sense of the different modalities of the diatonic scales by playing children songs in the different modes. Occasionally quite freaky...
Enjoying a lot Nicolas Carter's Music Theory book! Explains in an easy and logical way many of those things that have been buzzing at the edge of my awareness for years, and that I never bothered/got round to properly understanding before.
No amount of fancy terminology can ever erase the fact that wine is grape juice gone sour.

What is futurism? Futurism is the present as it exists today, projected, one hundred years from now. That’s what futurism is. If you have a population of X billions of people, how are you going to have food, how are you going to do this… nothing has changed. All they do is they make everything either bigger, or they change the size—you’ll live in thirty story buildings, you’ll live in sixty-story buildings. Frank Lloyd Wright was going to build an office building that was one mile high. That was futurism.

Really enjoying writing my first ever presentation in latex/beamer. Using this guide https://latex-beamer.com/quick-start/ and the vimtex neovim plugin (https://github.com/lervag/vimtex) makes it a breeze.
My one comfort is that this is made so much easier by virtue of excellent tools: #swaywm, #xournalpp and #zathura. With these I can still derive some nerdy pleasure from the process.
Sun is shining, birds are singing, kids are playing on the grass. What better to do in this situation than catchin up with much overdue accounting 💀?
OK. Just a friendly and timely reminder: health care is not a product. People in need of health care are not customers. I know this is very difficult for the more market-oriented politicians, so let me repeat: health care is not a product. Patients are not customers. There you go. Not so difficult to wrap your head around, is it?

About #TechBros and other forms of #technocentrism, especially #TechnoSolutionism.
Something I have a hard time understanding is why they’re so obsessed with the outmoded tech of #currency (including that of the #crypto persuasion) when they’ve been influenced by #SciFi in which #SocialSystems often went #BeyondMoney.
Different biases from mine.
