Folks, here's the thing. I am _happy_ to hear your opinions on AI. I have in fact, in part due to feedback I've received, stopped using AI art in work product I create because I agree that it cheapens any brand it's used in.

#linuxaudio journey update. Switching #BitwigStudio v5.3.x and v6.b.x to use OpenGL for the UI acceleration results in much smoother and expected interactions with my various presets.

Here is a thing I've been wondering about:

My biological father is visiting from California over the next few days. Kind of wild hearing stories about how I came to be and understanding crazy life that has lead him there. Makes me appreciate how lucky I am in so many ways to live the life that I do.

Went to see an allergist for the first time yesterday.
She prescribed a saline / steroid sinus rinse.
It's kinda like waterboarding yourself. I'm sure I'll get used to it, and if it will help me not need to constantly fight the battle of my head becominga giant bag of explosively compressed […]

Well that's interesting.
For all the struggles I've had trying to get modern web browsers to not perform like hot garbage on this 2009 Macbook Pro..
I'm typing this on Firefox latest and it performs like a champ.
Credit where credit is due #firefox. Well done!

Hrrm. I deleted my bluesky account and asked @bsky.brid.gy to bridge my account there.
No sign of https://bsky.app/feoh.org
I'll give it a number of hours and look again.
It's possible my bsky account deletion didn't percolate all the way through before I activated the bridge.

Have you been considering donating, but worried that we might be running out of space? Worry not! A new challenger appears! @Yhg1s has committed ANOTHER $5000 match, raising our total matching funds to $17,000, which (modulo a few additional receipts I need to process) means we are down to 43%.

In light of the PSF's recent loss of an NSF grant and attendant funding shortfall, I will be matching donations up to $5000. Send me your receipts.
Very happy if you've already donated for similar reasons but the point is to motivate *new* donations so be sure the timestamp is after this toot 😉.
