Lambeth @hearlambeth.bsky.social · 20/04/2026go if you can. we were there for Vintage Computer Fest East. i got to click the Windows Messenger icon for the first time since i was a teenager. someone printed out a portrait of us on a dot matrix printer. people made a univac run a C program. a very odd good time. 010
Lambeth @hearlambeth.bsky.social · 20/04/2026yesterday a friend & i saw a wax cylinder being played by an original wax cylinder player. InfoAge, Wall NJ - this place has a bunch of small museums on computers, audio technologies, radio and communications, model trains etc. and nearby is the site of the first transatlantic radio broadcast. 121
Lambeth @hearlambeth.bsky.social · 08/04/2026above 45 to be clear. two at 70 would solve everything with ease. 000
Lambeth @hearlambeth.bsky.social · 08/04/2026we have two household incomes a bit above that with two young kids and a car and a mortgage and putting the most we can into retirement savings - that would not be enough to sustain us perpetually. i can see how a couple of those things are a choice but still. that's where the money goes. 100
Lambeth @hearlambeth.bsky.social · 04/04/2026how are you listening to what i am saying. an hour ago i was singing this song in my kitchen. specifically the Futureheads version. my phone wasn't even in the room. advertising has gotten too invasive. i am disconnecting my internet 130
Lambeth @hearlambeth.bsky.social · 26/03/2026yep. download your media, back it up in two physical locations and on a cloud service (as a last resort) and migrate it every few years. 011
Lambeth @hearlambeth.bsky.social · 26/03/2026i recall them accidentally losing a ton maybe a decade ago 111
Lambeth @hearlambeth.bsky.social · 22/03/2026personally i'm no more concerned about what the Chinese government could be collecting than what i know US private industry is currently collecting 020
Lambeth @hearlambeth.bsky.social · 12/03/2026yes! we just got a hand-me-down laserjet printer for free and ... windows can no longer use it. linux is fine though. 020
Lambeth @hearlambeth.bsky.social · 12/03/2026I'm actually a little surprised that it was people manually reading these. It seemed like the result of ctrl+f. IIRC Ted Cruz had a staffer look for "trans" and proposed canceling research where trans just means between/across in compound words. 260
Lambeth @hearlambeth.bsky.social · 09/03/2026just found this one! www.philly-shows.org/march2026philly-shows.orgmarch 2026 — philly-shows.org 000
Lambeth @hearlambeth.bsky.social · 09/03/2026appreciated! the original poster should also be aware it's a troll. 100
Lambeth @hearlambeth.bsky.social · 09/03/2026philly music fans - i'm looking to shift away from Meta and info about shows is one of two things keeping me there. are there alternatives out there to playinpossum.org or does anyone know the status of that site?playinpossum.orgBOOKMARK IT! 100
Lambeth @hearlambeth.bsky.social · 09/03/2026at 9:48 in this video I'm fairly sure that's him, alongside the anti-nazi protesters. so probably trolling. youtu.be/iV2QKd6bgAMyoutu.beWhite Supremacists Protest Zohran - Counter Protest gets uglyYouTube video by Walter Masterson 100
Lambeth @hearlambeth.bsky.social · 02/03/2026how is this surprising when he has cornered the markets of music that may be played in airports, films, a white cube, the state museum in St Petersburg, and a civic recovery center? 010
Lambeth @hearlambeth.bsky.social · 20/02/2026"all available data" is doing a lot there. i don't require people around me to learn my language. maybe i can learn theirs. i already don't talk to most people. 020
Lambeth @hearlambeth.bsky.social · 15/02/2026i bet there's not even an angelic pigeon above the omfug 000
Lambeth @hearlambeth.bsky.social · 24/01/2026their explicit goal is Christian nationalism. it is unnecessary and endless but it is also consistent with their goal. 000
Lambeth @hearlambeth.bsky.social · 24/01/2026personally very much looking forward to this song tonight in Philly (if the snow starting shortly after the show doesn't shut it down) 000
Lambeth @hearlambeth.bsky.social · 24/01/2026that thread led me to this excellent summary of recent escalations. taking it all in at once is ... a lot. every week is a new horror worse than the previous. donmoynihan.substack.com/p/past-the-b...donmoynihan.substack.comPast the breaking pointThe violent occupation of an American city is more than a warning 000
Lambeth @hearlambeth.bsky.social · 15/01/2026him not being in control of specific institutions hasn't done anything to his success at decimating them. personally I've been expecting there to be talk of canceling elections and this is not surprising. 000
Lambeth @hearlambeth.bsky.social · 15/01/2026last time he asked someone to "find" votes for him, and got in trouble. this time he's not even getting stopped when a court mandates it. the epstein files are late beyond the law and there's no apparent consequences. maybe the midterms come and go but i have little hope for November 2028. 100
Lambeth @hearlambeth.bsky.social · 15/01/2026i wish, as you do, that capitalist techbros hadn't turned this interesting technology resulting from 70 years of innovation and turned it into an art killer. 000
Lambeth @hearlambeth.bsky.social · 15/01/2026okay but the technology of 2019 still exists today. i fully agree with what this policy is about. i only wrote this because i have a memory of getting caught up in Bandcamp's ban on harsh noise wall when they thought that was a fascist genre based on a subset of musicians. 100
Lambeth @hearlambeth.bsky.social · 14/01/2026my sense is they must have been doing it already, because AI generated music must be constantly being submitted to their platform. 000
Lambeth @hearlambeth.bsky.social · 14/01/2026and to be clearer this is 2019, before the billions, when the technology was still predominantly a research tool, and i have no other examples to point to. i don't wanna distract from how good it is to see Bandcamp take this stance. i fully agree with it. 110
Lambeth @hearlambeth.bsky.social · 14/01/2026i guess i can't convince you other than encouraging you to listen to what she did with it. she trained it as an interactive instrument that plays off of the voice of her and a choir, as an accompaniment. it was deliberately an entirely new sound from a failure to reproduce voices. 100
Lambeth @hearlambeth.bsky.social · 13/01/2026excellent! i know you will, but please exercise some caution with those artists who've made creative use of their own self trained AI models as part of their music. I'm thinking specifically of Holly Herndon. 120
Lambeth @hearlambeth.bsky.social · 13/01/2026i think a not insignificant amount of bandcamp sales is sample packs, some from field recordings, which strikes me as something one might, if a wanker, AI generate for quick sales 140
Lambeth @hearlambeth.bsky.social · 13/01/2026border patrol has been doing things like destroying water bottles left out for people crossing the desert, this whole time 010
Lambeth @hearlambeth.bsky.social · 12/01/2026amazing find! i have a CD set of this. saw Glass perform this a few years ago in Philly with his group, with a dinner break half way through. incredible endurance. 010
Lambeth @hearlambeth.bsky.social · 11/01/2026surely you called them hardies, because 8" and 5.25" were more floppy, and these were hard in comparison 000
Lambeth @hearlambeth.bsky.social · 09/01/2026at this point I'm surprised that screen readers do not extract typed text from an image. this seems like it would be an important, and at this point easy, addition to the software. 110
Lambeth @hearlambeth.bsky.social · 08/01/2026he is doing an excellent job of defying limitations to his power 000

Lambeth @hearlambeth.bsky.social · 07/01/2026i fully agree. personally tired of waiting though. thanks for pushing the conversation. 000
Lambeth @hearlambeth.bsky.social · 07/01/2026there's also individual change as a solution to systemic problems. this kinda underlies my hesitancy - i have to research a lot to make one small change for just my house. we have government resources we could use to en masse convert to renewables. instead people are fighting their HOAs. 110
Lambeth @hearlambeth.bsky.social · 07/01/2026SELL ME SOLAR PANELS. do guerilla gardening but with solar panels! don't rest until every square inch of empty home depot parking lot is covered in solar panels. but seriously: that's fair. thanks for replying. i'm primed, i have no opposition. 000
Lambeth @hearlambeth.bsky.social · 07/01/2026i don't get how that's a response to this comment. was it meant for another? the comment said "it's more than $2k in reality as an initial cost and therefore more than i can afford". not "i don't believe its ability to function". that said, $2k for panels is way less than it used to be. 120
