Sure it has, meet my brain’s healthy levels of bitter sarcasm and bitter cynicism!

“where we get our news.”
And then they link to Reuters. LOL

that’s just it, they always meddle with what you do with your own body.
The same way bible thumpers just can’t be satisfied with how others live their lives

My fancy oven that thinks it needs to cool and runs the fan at max speed for 2 minutes after I used the microwave for 25 seconds.
And no way to turn it off.
It also keeps beeping/warning me for a long time until I open it.
Never am I buying that again.

what camera?

spyware company?
If only that.
They created AI drone-targeting software to help the US regime kill children.
Schmidt was appointed by the Pentagon to head the Defense Innovation Advisory Board.

That is a valid explanation.

controlled opposition

Fuck.
And to think people on Lemmy advised me to switch to it.
If I’d done my research I could’ve seen it coming.

Yen’s personal u/ on Reddit being “andy1011000,” which is binary for “andy88”.

It was considered paranoid to read something into that.
But then what would the reason be for usinfg this binary?
While they already used 88 as an obfuscation for HH(heil Hitler)
This is a similar step obfuscating the 88.
And there are precedents of it being used by fascist scum

I will never knowingly use anything from that scummy shithole.
I take it for granted that they will use it for spying.
Should be boycotted in any country.

You will not believe the trivial BS my doctor and I talk about.
This with a full waiting room.
Usually I’m the one that says ‘I really have to go now’ after 45 minutes because I feel guilty.

Had no problem with it and I’m old.
You might want to start on a new line after a sentence yourself.
Reads much nicer.

Just think they’re ukrainian, then it’s OK

I don’t live in the banana republic.
You want arson?
Today is the second day of protests where I live against budget cuts for education.
These are only the teachers, the most docile group of the population.
Europeans know how to fight for their rights.

So yes, I will continue to ridicule the pathetic non-attempts of your subservient, embarrassingly weak population of sheep.

i guess this gesture is even safe enough for weak americans

is it hard to find tape?

The US and their horrible system have worked against science on many occasions.

I do think it’s meaningful.
Even if I don’t need data or a scientific explanation of why the bulk (mainstream) music is getting worse.
I can hear that already.

loops are bad?

So you don’t go in to the measured chords, note progressions, and melodic transitions but cherrypick loops.
I didn’t say that.
It’s about OVER USE of the same loops and presets.

I guess I should inform all those classical music critics they’re actually dumb for liking Terry Riley and Steve Reich.

So this is irrelevant but apparently you feel the need to make snarky remarks too.
Bye

Dubstep is just as much a recycled genre/subgenre as anything else?
If you’re after something new to your ears it really shouldn’t fit neatly into any genre, right?

I have to disagree.
There is obviously a use of dub basslines but how it was used and everything else about it gave me that buzz I only get from a new genre.
That moment when you’re witnessing the next step in the evolution of electronic music.
Same as I had when hearing jungle for the first time, even if that also had faster recycled loops.
It was undeniably new and a genre in itself.
TBC it’s not the being ‘new’ that is important, but the fact that I have a lot of stuff to listen to from artists exploring the new genre.
I really like floating points BTW, the rest I haven’t heard of.

who was doing lush layered multi instrument compositions like this over electronic music pre-2000 not named Bjork?

I think there’s a few.

You name some individual artists here, of course there are plenty with their own unique sound, for me Autechre is the best example.
So yes there’s plenty of stuff to listen to, old stuff, cumbia, folk or whatever, but as I said, it’s been a long time since I’ve heard anything that can be justifiably labeled as a new genre in electronic music leading to a wave of artists exploring that specific discovered road.

I just clicked on one study as a reply to this guy being a dick.
While music and everything concerning taste is mostly subjective there are some quantifiable parameters.
Like variety of chords, note progressions, and melodic transitions.
The over use of audio compression, presets and loops,etc…
