@meljoann I've been pretty fond of Ibiza Global Radio lately. One of my partners leaves BBC Radio 3 Dance on all day too. And while it's podcasts and not radio, the Resident Advisor podcast has tons of more experimental DJs on it.

@dawngreeter @susankayequinn this is very much meant in the spirit of collegial critique with someone I recognize as on the same side. I definitely see what you're trying to demonstrate, but I think it's kinda missing on the marketing front. Indeed, it even says things you don't seem to want to say. Like, it initially read to me that you were worried about futures where we have real synthetic intelligence and people are bigoted towards them, denying some kind of rights they deserve.

@dawngreeter @susankayequinn Respectfully, a position that includes the phrase "future human bigotry against synthetic intelligence" is necessarily using a future hypothetical as the basis.

@dawngreeter @susankayequinn Humans created LLMs. When a human uses a digital art tool to draw something, the creative credit goes to the human even though the software did the hard work of tracking all the human's actions, translating those intents into both pixels and portable encodings, etc. An LLM just does a lot of complex encoding in unpredictable ways. Why would we not assert that any "value" made goes to anything other than a human? If anything, humans aren't credited enough.

@dawngreeter @susankayequinn I appreciate what you're trying to say, but I think the logic is the same misguided illogic that leads to ideas like Roko's Basilisk. You're speculating on a future situation without regard to its likelihood or plausibility, then using it as a foundation for additional logic.

@sharan that can be pretty rare when wrestling opinions get involved. 😅

@sharan I like you already.

After taking some extended time off, I'm back in the saddle and starting to work on the October edition of the #Owncast newsletter. As always, I like to feature a streamer, so if you think there's someone out there doing good work who deserves the spotlight, I'd love to hear about them!

@millihertz Ah, I see your point now. I'm genuinely not aware of the history behind the intent of the CoCo series, but having used a CoCo-2 as a child (it was my first computer), I didn't get the sense that Radio Shack had even exactly eyed it as a games machine. I did have a lot of games for it (especially Children's Television Workshop educational titles on cassette), but I'd figured Radio Shack saw it more as a serious computer that had games available.

We've gone through this again and again with queerness, just like neurodivergence. Some people don't understand (or won't admit) the social construction of things, so they can't accept that changes in society result in more (or less) people openly discussing their experiences.

@marz I feel you. I've just heard so much culture war adjacent shit from the ham world that I don't really feel welcome in it. I pride myself on blending in to my surroundings, but I do have my limits.

And there is the Pride Radio Group in Discord, but I guess I've always felt ham community is local community...just not the same for some reason.

@etherdiver That's a good point, and I also just think that the 00s were kinda peak autolysis for the industry, at least to me, and they kinda constituted one of the lowest points in the history of modern popular music.

Like, yes, plenty of high points, but overall just a net negative.

@starfire Likely not what you're looking for entirely, but I must mention "Goodnight, Demon Slayer" by Voltaire (aka Aurelio Voltaire). Probably a little too energetic, but a lovely song about being strong enough to face the monsters under your bed. It was written as a humorous lullaby.

@millihertz Given that OS-9 was specifically for the 6809, and that virtually every IC in the CoCo-1 was also Motorola, and subsequent CoCos maintained compatibility, and that the CoCo-2 was the first in the series to have the full 64KB that the 6809 supports, I suspect the portage effort was pretty minimal.

"Disney+ Premium (no ads) will go up by $3...it’s hard to believe that Disney couldn’t have postponed the increase until the uproar from this unforced error (Kimmel) died down."

In Capitalism, Free Speech will cost you an extra $3/month.

@IrrationalMethod @ai6yr thanks, y'all. Even if you're describing it in a hazy way, it's useful to know.

@ai6yr I'm curious how you could hear the band was wide open? Asking because perhaps you had an intuition I should develop.

@fetzert Hey...FYI it looks like you're spamming the same reply over and over again every 5 minutes or so.

@mayazimmerman that game was so darling

@exelia_antonov @hazelnoot Related: I got the "lesbian in a man's body" quip in the late 90s and beamed with secret pride at it. Then cishet dudes started using it as a joke, often to excuse unwanted levels of horny, and I'd secretly be pissed off because I'd be like "No, but I actually am that and you're not."
