Honestly I haven’t really listened to them yet, but I once talked to a social worker in my local youth center who was really fawning over them, as he listened to their music back in the 80s. I think he Maybe I should give them a shot. ;)

Flamme? Ich dachte das ist erst an Pfingsten dran?

I’m not sure if I should be relating this hard but here we are…

Thank you very much for sharing! Some good old noise was exactly what I needed on a straining train ride.

I’d say this EP is a little more dull (as in less ear-shatteringly screechy) and also more melodic/rythmic than what I usually go for as for noisy tracks. Overall a very nice exploration of what “noise” can be by use of different genre influences.

I particularly liked the horror feel of Queens Enigma and the dipping into breakcore all throughout but especially in Divination of the Neutron Bomb.

You’re welcome. Just don’t let the sun explode. :)

I’ve had it with this “de at” censorship! This is not Facebook, you can say what you like!

de at, de at, de at!!!

I already started :3

Was ist dieses “Snacklink”?

I don’t have any issue with Nostr, it honestly doesn’t interest me very much at all. But since it came up, let me tell you a little anecdote:

A few months ago I opened the Wikipedia article on Nostr, which states in the last sentence of the overview that:

Nostr was created as a result of perceived moderation issues on Twitter, as well as both technical and cultural disagreements with other protocols such as ActivityPub and Secure Scuttlebutt.

for which it cites the original blog entry where the protocol was introduced. Since I was interested in what these disagreements might be, I read through the post. And while I did find out what the criticisms of AP and SSB were, I also had a different train of thought going on too:

After reading the short summary, I thought to myself “Well that sounds like a nice hobby project, but isn’t that just BBS with crypto (and over the internet instead of telephone lines)?” That changed, however, when I read somewhere else that relays can also query other relays for their posts, after which I though “Well that sounds like a nice hobby project, but isn’t that just NNTP with crypto (and over the internet instead of usenet)?”

Again, none of this is an issue for me and I don’t really have any problems with the protocol itself but what did rub me the wrong way was that towards the end of the blog post, in the Q&A, it says the following:

This is very simple. Why hasn’t anyone done it before?

I don’t know, but I imagine […]

and idk, not actively looking for prior art seems a bit lazy to me ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I don’t see the issue?

Was denn jetzt schon wieder passiert?

I’ve had this discussion before, had the “proper way” of preparing them explained to me and made them according to these instructions. Turns out, I just don’t like the taste. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

AROO!!!

Very nice! Thank you for reminding me of this game, I also wanted to give it a shot a few times before. Maybe I will now ;)

Danke, dass du mich an diese Reaktionsvideo der alten Schule erinnert hast.

Observers blame years of underinvestment, cumbersome planning and approval procedures and political paralysis caused in recent years by the feuding ruling coalition, whose November collapse precipitated the polls.

That’s pretty short-sighted. Long-standing infrastructure doesn’t go bad in less than four years. The coalition that ruled the 16 years before is at least as much at fault for this.

Arthur my man!
