So many different ways to download and install #plugins! This series of posts compares them, which is kinda obscure but I'd never seen anyone else do it, so I thought it would be interesting to both fellow musicians and vendors alike.

Do you really think people that use AI want it to replace making things traditionally? I never read “put down your pencil”. Here’s a new analogy: Astroturf. It’s artificial but wasn’t invented to replace all grass worldwide.

When debating AI use, people use analogies to explain their point of view. Here's one I’ve never seen: Astroturf! It never replaced real grass, and AI won’t replace traditional methods.

Is anyone out there in Blueskyland that collects vintage calculators?
v01d ma1n()@v01dma1n.bsky.social · 8mo agoToday's thrift store find: Melcor 400 harking back to mid 1970s. It is surprising to see buttons dedicated to square root while many other calculators did not have such functionality. The interesting part is that the calculator goes into a 'power saving' mode by blanking display except one segment.
I’m terribly sorry but I neglected to tell you that I published another edition of Tool Much Fun. So in case you didn’t know… it’s a blog where I make a quick summary of all the cool creative and useful software and sites I find.
