AI Companies Are Buying Tons of Old Books Because They're Free of AI Slop
The worst part is that they are destroying the books afterwards.

When they destroy the physical copy they remove them from the antique stores market which often rely on circulation.
Edit: Also physical copies don’t require electricity, a device and internet access plus they are something you can own.

„I Felt a Little Homosexual Today, So I Called in Sick: The Formation of “Reverse Discourse” by Swedish Gay Activists in the 1970s“
This article revolves around the legal and epistemic battles around “homosexuality” in Sweden in 1979, which led to the abolition of homosexuality being classified as a “disease”. Among other things, gay activists “called in sick” to the Social Insurance Agency (SIA) and claimed that they were unable to work because they were homosexuals (read as mentally disordered).

Only Germany can make you feel bad for being only one "Dr"
That’s just your inferiority complex.

A Premium subscription is no longer enough. Now they want $3 a month per “membership” channel.
Let them invent subscriptions for everything so people start realizing that this is just a new way of extracting money. Capitalism is a damn pyramid scheme.

Drop OSS - an open-source, self-hosted alternative to platforms like Steam and Epic.
If this can be hooked up to a TV and a controller I‘d love to try this out.

What helped you stick with an instrument as a kid?
Reply in thread
Boy do I wish I could play the clarinette. I love it in Jazz. I was never allowed to play any instrument at all because they always thought I would never stick with it. Well, today, I play to forget all the rest. Maybe I wouldn’t have that if I had taken up a music career.

I‘m buying a uke. Tenor or Soprano
Reply in thread
I‘ve borrowed this uke from a friend and I learned those four chords and I‘ve already learned two songs and I can’t believe how easy it is to play this instrument. I played guitar for a little less than a year and didn‘t get past the F chord. Maybe that helps still but that was almost twenty years ago, lol. Maybe the fact that I‘ve been playing piano for the past year helps too but it so simple and so much fun and so gratifying.
Btw. Banjolele? It’s so cool this exists.
I actually picked up the ukulele because I wanted to see if I could learn a second instrument besides piano. The instrument I was actually interested in is neapolitan mandolin but I might stick with the uke for a while.

Decent budget compact keyboards?
So, I just listened to the CT-s200 and for the price point, it’s a solid buy.
However, if you want something even more compact and in a lower price range, take a look at the yamaha pss series. They are compact, the sound is comparable and often better than the Casiotone in my opinion, they have midi out and they are cheaper.
Another alternative would be the Yamaha Reface series. While they are pricier if bought new, you might be able to get a used one for half the price. They also offer a range of sounds but are focused on a specific type of instrument. Instead of offering hundreds of sounds you‘re not going to use anyway, you get to shape your sounds by tweaking a couple of knobs and the sound is very close to the originals. They have an organ (YC), a synth (CS), an FM-synth (the DX, which I wouldn’t use as a beginner but if you know what you’re doing it can give you almost all the sounds a keyboard has), electric piano (CP, it plays rhodes and wurlitzer)
