I'm going to have to go back to reading books or playing music just for no reason to pass the time again. WTF?!!

I didn't think anything could interest me less than chatting with a chatbot. But then came "watching chatbots chat with each other".

Fuck Spotify! But like a broken record I will say too fuck UMG who came up with the 1000 spins minimum idea so that the 3 major labels would monopolize the royalties payouts even more.

Jamuary Fun-A-Day 2026 05 This is another instrumental electronic jam I made with software synths and drums. Same formula as two days ago, but I added a second chord progression this time.

Back to electronic stuff tonight. #jamuary #funaday soundcloud.com/sdouglass/ja...

Jamuary Fun-A-Day 2026 03 I'm working

I thought about taking the night off, or even quitting altogether. Then I sat down and made something after all. #jamuary #funaday soundcloud.com/sdouglass/ja...

Jamuarh Fun-A-Day 2026 02 Tonight I made another beats and NTS-1 repetitive jam with the keys.

Jamuary Fun-A-Day 2026 01 Here goes the first year of my second decade of making music every day in January. I wasn't able to get set up in advance so today I hastily threw together a basic synth rig in the afternoon and jamme

Time to make music every day in January again! 1st year of 2nd decade. #jamuary #funaday #funaday2026 soundcloud.com/sdouglass/ja...

Fun! Are you going to share them here? Or somewhere else?

... you've also stolen the work of a lot of independent artists. And yeah, the streaming royalties thing is a mess, but that's more the fault of the 3 major labels than Spotify. And so those indie artists don't make much off streaming, but if you ask them I bet they'd say it's better than nothing.

Just speak plainly about this. You are stealing the IP of labels and artists (not Spotify) in order to make it "free". And understand and explain how the only parties that can be harmed by this are labels and artists. Nobody will cry if the 3 major labels lose royalties over this. But ...

This will not have any significant material impact on Spotify. The 3 major labels will be upset with Spotify and require them to expend some effort plugging up whatever mechanisms were exploited that made this possible. That will be it.

I just want to say a hearty "F U" to Anna's Archives. They are either stupid or acting in bad faith or both. Claiming what they have done is an action "against Spotify" is patently ridiculous. Spotify is not the owner of the IP they have stolen. It belongs to the labels and artists. 1/x

HARVMATTA letter tray, anthracite HARVMATTA letter tray, anthracite This letter tray uses the height to save space on your desk and the pull-out compartments offer easy access. A clean look in metal and cork that fits just as well in ...

Have an IKEA Kallax and lots of guitar pedals? I just set up this Kallax insert. Got a couple dozen pedals organized on its slide-out trays! A few pedals were too tall but most fit and I am really digging this. www.ikea.com/us/en/p/harv...

Billionaires would rather invent immortality for themselves, build climate change proof underground bunkers, and invent human-like AI-powered robots to take care of them forever in their underground bunkers, than solve climate change and continue living among the unwashed masses.

I did it! Tonight to wrap things up I just stuck to the #inktober #inktober2025 prompts again, and the prompt for this final day is "award". Thanks for all of your support, see you next year!
