Those in the UK may not have this #ipad prob, but every few months I have to test something browser related on an iPad. I revisit what's going on with the world of browser plugins, when I see all browsers are still being forced to use webkit, resulting in needing to jump through OS/network layer hoops just to BLOCK STUPID ADS.
However! Even as a fan of #kagi, I did not know about the Orion browser, which makes me like kagi even more, and solves so many of those problems. https://orionbrowser.com
I'd love to have a Yamaha cs1x back in my life. A bit of nostalgia and it has some ok #midi control with velocity at least. Scavenging FB marketplace and others, keyboards are very often mislabeled, so I need to think like them for search terms:
BLUE PIANO
A KEYBOARD
YANAHAM INDIGO
GENERAL MIDI SYNTHESIZER
Ordered my very first pair of bifocals. They look like these

Often I'll describe how not having endless fx like every daw has puts more focus on quickly making nearly complete tracks of NN patterns where I can just keep pushing forward, cloning the next pattern making some changes, Next..
When I think of an app like Reason, I think of it as noodle hell, and since Renoise also has endless fx and even supports vst instruments, I need to keep rules in mind to avoid getting mired in noodles

After seeing #vnv and now #assemblage23 I think I understand future pop. It's really about the vocals being very accessible and reachable in any voice so it's easy to learn the often emotional and sentimental lyrics and sing along. You don't have to get wrapped up in celebrity or vocal acrobatics to take part and feel close to the music
iirc it's the app developer's bday https://www.pixeljam.com/
Reminded of this putting on a random xfiles EP. The artist set up a virtual environment that sounds like walking around an arcade in different eras. I would use this as noise masking all night (or day after graveyard shifts). Heh also filter hey man nice shot in the xf soundtrack. https://archive.org/details/ArcadeAmbience
2day was a #selfcare Wednesday https://youtu.be/EBN_5OFMh7M?si=aI1Qdmg2QI5i_Guz
inspo for my imaginary yt channel
little #audiomulch loop session for this week's #weeklybeats
i was going to try to crank out an intense 2ch mod, but it has been a long day and i didn't feel like blasting noisy beats into my face
The recumbent trike community, I figured would be much smaller than most others, but it is quite tiny, probably exacerbated by the demographic skewing toward boomer-gen who are less likely to have a first thought like "take me to the the rad recumbent trike diy/mods chat! On the internet!"
I created an alt for pondering an #autism

Whenever I start using an iPad, I'm confronted with having to figure out a secure and easy way to get files from non-apple-macintoshes onto it. I mess around with a music app or two. Then I put it down and forget about it.
🥱 slept like a welcome to the rock
NEVER EVER PRESS DASH DASH DASH ENTER IN MICROSOFT WERD ONLINE U WILL REGRET IT 4EVR
i'm feeling this pull, like the shape of reality is shifting behind me, where i can't see it, always outside my periphery, but its motion is distorting what's in front of me, so i must start a serious venture into making retro pc hardware and emulation a serious hobby
i really like the sound and style of Inear Display's plugins. I recommend checking them out and supporting the developer; now offered as a bundle https://bedroomproducersblog.com/2026/02/24/inear-display-pwyw/

I saw Moby once with an old friend from high school. Afterward, downtown Chicago was hit with a major power outage as I was zipping through lower Wacker tunnels in the pitch black dark in a 6spd Ford Focus SVT, which was actually quite fun and scary. Then, the next day or so, that unlistenable Gwen Stefani collab was released
i know i do techno n stuff but cut it out with the cool handshakes they give me anxiety

Repurposing an Athlon Gold 3150U laptop as a retro gaming #htpc and going to try #bazzite with the steam deck option. I also need to research some games that have the accessibility of modern casual games, but run on older consoles. Kingdom Hearts, some of the Yakuza games and Disney Dreamlight Valley have been favorites for the target audience. I skipped just about everything between SNES and Xbox. Never had Sony or Sega
