that time that a daft punk album came with a whole anime

kind of interesting that google's huge money contract with the copyright cartels made youtube subsume not only track-based things like napster/spotify/etc, but also mix-based things like mixcloud/soundcloud/etc.

an essay on the relative thematic accomplishments of harder better faster stronger versus shades of jae

there are songs that remind me of people with whom i never listened to the song, simply because the song makes me feel the way the person did.

i think sites like vox and msnbc are far more responsible for america's impending civil war than facebook.

why do we tolerate laptops and cars with a giant fucking billboard for the manufacturer smack in the middle of the front of it? that shit is so ugly and tacky. at least pixelbooks got this right.

so it won't even flash without loading the kext (to send some commands over usb, something that absolutely does not require kexts) and now it's flashing and it's been going for 15 minutes and it's barely a third done. what a shitshow

why is the only way to keep your desktop computer secure to have like 6 computers, including three that you are constantly wiping and reinstalling in a neverending loop

@devnull yes, the earth's atmosphere is thick and dirty

why is my a7s-iii firmware updater app trying to load a kext?

what the actual fuck?

@aetios i don't even have a telescope, just a 74-200 with a 2x teleconverter.

@devnull the white balance was set correctly, the color is pretty close to accurate.

i took a picture of the moon in my backyard. it's potato compared to those who are good at astrophotography, but i'm pretty chuffed that even tycho is plainly visible.

note to self: start shooting at around f/8 in broad daylight. f/5 is not a reasonable general purpose aperture despite years of shooting wide open at f/1.2-1.4

@pete i emailed the rep saying that i expressly reserve those rights it says i waived. i assume they'll unilaterally close my account today.

I opened a bank account recently, and signed the signature card whilst in the bank. No deposit agreement was attached.

Some time later that day, the bank representative emailed me the deposit agreement, stating what I agree to by having the account.

It claims that I've consented to giving up several civil rights, including the right to a jury trial, in the event of a dispute with the bank. The bank received my signature before I ever saw this document.

How is this possibly enforceable?
