How Do People NOT Know This About Pop Music?

youtube.com/watch?v=l93JOUJZEo…

Rick Beto nails it on pop songs being assembled by pro hired gun writers who have written hits for everyone in pop music. Worth it 2 see the lists of hits for clients of a few pros he cites. Also lyrics are meaningless. Crafted and video storyboarded, every inch committee fabricated, not artist personal impression. Yet ppl debate artists' meanings when they had no input.

@Smeetoo @Metalglasses and yet those people have millions of plays online which I guess is how it's calculated now instead of album sales. You figure it's mostly people in other countries playing them and some young stupid kids here so you're not likely to know who they are without gossip sites shoving their names in your face constantly. And still it's who the fuck is that nobody? Which are all simply extensions of the industry process he's explaining.

They don't buy music anymore, they just create online playlist that they play iver and over, so the song is constantly streamed. Us old folks would buy the 45, LP, cassette, or CD and play that, so it was one sale. This is why the "artists" get fractions if a penny per stream. 12 yr old girls streaming the same song 20 times a day vs playing the media version we bought over and over

Yes, I know I left out 8 tracks

AppImage is a frustrating invention for Linux. It should work like macOS's .app, but it falls short. Getting an app to run and dock always involves tinkering and manually deploying a .desktop item, among other hassles.

I wish I had known about Gear Lever for Gnome earlier. omgubuntu.co.uk/2024/07/gear-l…

Gear Lever makes updating AppImage apps much easier. I prefer .deb packages, but too many apps don't offer them.

AppImages are great: a single runtime containing all of the dependencies needed for an app to run in a double-click binary that can be run from anywhere on your system. Therein lies the rub. If [&h...

@gme Nah. Sandboxes would be sufficient. Especially to allow hardware access. But Flatpak externalizes a lot of things and most things can't be gotten as a single .flatpak file. (There doesn't even seem to be a reasonable way to export to this or something.)

Like it's almost there. It's so close.

That said, it still does a lot of stuff right like sandboxing a lot, having access controls that can be enabled, and dependencies can be separate so things don't break just because of updates. EDIT: Oh and it doesn't require a dedicated OS...

esphome device encryption key after HA reinstall
I lost my esphome config in HA. I have several devices (sonoff S31) that show up in HA asking for encryption keys when I try to add them, which I don't have as old HA vm is gone. Is there anyway to reset them to base esphome config without disassembling and reflashing esphome? From what I can tell googling this, the answer is no, but thought I'd ask before I go ahead with that plan.

"oh no, the airplane is falling apart! is there an engineer on board?"

yes, me, hi hello, I'm an engineer :3

"oh, thank the heavens, can you save us?"

did you try adding Rust to the engines?

"how would that help-"

we're headed to Wayland, right? that's the goal?

"what? there aren't even any airports there, this flight is headed to PDX"

can we check the flight logs to root cause the issue?

"dude the engine is on fucking fire"

oh that's okay. it's noncritical because of the backup engines so i usually just ignore it because it's only really a mild inconvenience and it takes longer to fix than it's worth. xkcd 1205

"the whole thing is going to blow up and kill us all if we don't put out that fire"

just sandbox it tbh. put it in FireJail. that way it won't hurt the whole system even if it totally blows up and crashes

@Zennagain yeah I bookmarks a whole bunch of those ambient videos. Cyberpunk themed, 1950s light jazz, 1950s dinner music jazz, various rainstorms or foggy night in a cabin themed. They're pretty good for ambient background filler. Not something really to watch and in fact there are a few out there that will tell you it's with a black screen. Also binaural hemi-sync ones meant for headphones use to produce healing harmonic tones or induce brainwave Alpha Beta Gamma Delta states.

Wouldn't want to leave the last day of #BrideMonth without a post. Thus the cute girl and her many dolls.
Should the magician of the forest catch your eye with her mystical nature and well made dolls, prepare for a very special wedding. Of course, being the doll maker she is she would prefer to make the clothes herself for the event. On top of that, it's not just Alice you would need to wed for all her dolls will be brought to the event.
