the amount of AI trance "music" slop on YouTube is hella annoying. sound too clinical, lacking emotion, insanely boring, repetitive beats, and lyrics like they were written by wannabe edgy teenagers🤮 theoretically i have nothing against AI trance music, but only if its just another "instrument"

Last night I met up with an old Navy buddy. We have known each other for 25 years, and more or less stayed in touch. When I was on shore duty in Yokosuka in the mid-90's, he and I worked quite closely together on a team of two setting up all the communications channels required at the time.

What kind of idiotic shenanigans is this @f1tv.bsky.social Refusing to support @firefox.com on F1TV, claiming its an unsupported browser makes zero technical sense. This nonsense only started during the Las Vegas GP. Firefox handled every race before without an issue. Completely uncool and illogical

Unsurprisingly SG tops the list again, w/JP & SK tied for 2nd. What I do find interesting is the US tied for 10th, falling behind UAE, and most of Europe. Ultimately, not a significant difference since US passports nets access to 182 countries vs SG's 193✈️ www.henleyglobal.com/passport-ind...

okay tokyo, it is time to break free from this relentless cold. raise the temperature, push beyond the single digits, and let the air carry something more than a lingering chill consider increasing the temperature to at least be in the mid-teens. this daily sub-10°c existence is not doing it for me

Every ride is a step forward, whether pushing limits or simply showing up. Habits are built in the quiet moments, when discipline outweighs motivation. Muscle memory matters as much as endurance.

I really want to see pixelfed succeed but right now the iOS and Android apps are buggy af and insanely slow. yes, it’s open source and being developed without any major financial backing, but that is no excuse. I am sure in time it will grow into a much better tool, so it will remain on my radar
