Also:

Quieter than Silence are sublime, they have several shows on Youtube and they’re all different with different guest musicians and they’re all amazing.

and

Özgür Baba - Dertli Dolap, Çay Taşıand this full show: at the Franciscan Church.

Ooh I really like this one and the Le Lab Virgin Radio one, especially Opposite Ways. So much better than the album versions.

Off the top of my head: Parliament Funkadelic - The Mothership Connection, Live In Houston 1976.

That’s my go to. An amazing show and never fails to get me in a good mood or cheer me up. Parliament Funkadelic is magic.

I mean that’s my point. I’d trust Reddit more than some completely random dude to handle my data you know? Why wouldn’t I? At least with a centralized datamining piece of shit I know a part of what the data is used for and they’re not just stalking me waiting to murder me or something. Blindly sharing whatever with some rando who just comes up to you like “hey you want some privacy” is just fucking weird. Some random dude could be any weird fucked up person you know? Maybe I’m over/underthinking this, but sometimes all of this just seems weird.

Thanks for the thorough reply. I’m just wondering, in general, about privacy and shit. Like it’s a big talking point here, how lemmy is so much safer and privacy focused, but then there are these huge oversights regarding some things. Sure it’s great my shit isn’t being monetized for bullshit reasons and ends and ads, but, if all this kind of decentralized thing doesn’t come without it’s own problems. It’s fairly new territory for most people and people easily lull into a comfort you know?

I’m paranoid rambling, but thanks for the reply.

Sorry for the dumb question, I’m thick in the head - since federated content is, well federated, does this mean potentially anyone who makes an instance can see practically everything?

Good point, they probably are. A cassette can fit in a pocket though, it’s like a greeting card and usually comes with a download code. CD’s are just lame :D I don’t know man.

Yeah cassettes never went away when it comes to punk. It’s a cheap way to distribute your music in physical form as well, which is a big part of why it’s so present in punk and indie music.

Ok I’m definitely profound. This just made me smile and “Always look on the bright side of life” started playing in my head and my shitty morning turned into a better one. THANKS OPANON.

I feel like your warning was not quite sufficient, there are some ungodly things there - I just rinsed my eyes with combat footage. This stuff is great! Thanks.

It’s sad to see how AI advocates strive to replicate the work of artists all the while being incredibly dismissive of their value. No wonder so many artists are incensed to get rid of everything AI.

It’s such a shame too. Like you can have a million sensible takes and opinions and views on the topic, pro-AI, but the discussion revolves around the same shit on both sides.

It is an amazing tool, and could be used (and is used, it’s just obscured by the massive amount of shit and assholes trolling other people/artists) in so many creative ways. I’d been in a bit of a rut for quite a few years (partially because my brain no make happy chemicals or sleep), but I haven’t been as excited about the possibilities and inspired maybe ever in my life (at least not for a decade or nearly two) with art and my own stuff. I’m finally drawing again after way too many years of letting my stuff gather dust.

That was a disappointing Where’s Waldo the Nazi. Everyone is either clapping or some shit. Waste of time. At least the dude with the roasted chicken for a hat was fun. 1/5 don’t recommend.

Ah I needed that laugh, thanks.

It’s insane how abruptly things went from “Don’t share any information, online, especially anything personal” to “You must be a suspicious person or a criminal if you’re not on the net with your real name, face and everything about your life” in the advent of Facebook et al.

We’re going to have to bet on the finns.

Please don’t, for the sake of us all, it’s the same over here unfortunately.

All of the shit is everywhere already. Fighting this shit is going to have to be a worldwide effort the same way bigots, fascists, nazis etc. are uniting worldwide. There is no place on Earth immune to idiocy, because most people are just idiots and/or fucking suck.

I feel like I’m a little old school in this thread compared to most other replies, but idgaf:

Castlevania: Symphony of the night has the best soundtrack ever, or maybe on par with the first three Silent Hills and its just an awesome game

Also Alundra. Great story, great soundtrack, great everything.

They did a whole bunch of these for all/most songs on both albums or just one, can’t remember, for some anniversary and they’re all absolutely fucking horrible.
