@foone Or when the em-dash (19xx—) gets replaced with an en-dash (19xx–2025), a process from which the euphemism “emenation” comes

@neauoire Not bad; could do with some reese-style vowel-formant wubwub bass, IMHO

@futurebird didn’t “country music” start meaning “Southern rock” some time around the Bush 2 era? If so, that could explain it.

@futurebird @alice Does proximity to water cancel it out, or are the Beach Boys country as well?

Hacker gets annoyed at Amazon’s Kindle apps, reverse-engineers the Kindle web reader’s protocol (which basically sends each page as a set of glyphs in a deliberately broken variant of SVG). Such obscurity, much security.https://blog.pixelmelt.dev/kindle-web-drm/

@jonossaseuraava @dymaxion Sweden criminalises buying sex work (it’s the “Scandinavian model” SWERFs are trying to import elsewhere), though that doesn’t apply to porn, only interaction. (The moralistic rationale is that sex work is inherently exploitative.) Whether it applies to steamy chat with a large language shoggoth, with no actual exploitable human in the loop, is an open question.

@alice You had sex last night in the same way that a vanilla soy latte is a three-bean soup

@lardmotel Maybe your name is associated with the adjective “industrial”?

@futurebird I wonder whether the rising whine in Public Enemy’s “Rebel Without A Pause”, and numerous tracks that sampled that, is also a reed instrument from an old record, presumably extensively manipulated by the Bomb Squad.

@alice It’s even worse in Sweden. We have the Scandinavian Model here (buying sexual services is a crime, and sex work is automatically considered exploitation), and because of the consensus-seeking nature of Jante Law society, everybody agrees that this is right, including leftists, liberals and sex workers. (There’s a similar, though perhaps slightly weaker, consensus on Nixonian zero-tolerance drug laws.)

Lösningen (“The Solution”), a new GameBoy game from a Swedish developer, in which you play a police detective charged with eliminating evidence so that the murder of a Prime Minister (think Olof Palme) never gets solved, for reasons you’re not privy to: @misty https://digipres.club/@misty/115906832149808614
