       @textfiles I would imagine the copyright status on each of those midi files is going to vary quite a bit, no? Or does converting a copyrighted piece of music into midi form somehow duck copyright provisions?If I make a YouTube video with Brittany Spears' playing in the background, it'll get copyright struck, but if I play a midi version of it, I feel like it would still get struck anyway, no?

       @textfiles Wow, that was cringe. The discomfort in that room is almost palpable.

       @qlp "...Musk recently encouraged his followers to vote Republican, has unbanned far-right accounts, and regularly mocks 'wokeness'...""...liberals had a more negative view of Tesla than self-described conservatives. But what does surprise us is that conservatives also have a negative view of the brand on average..."Tesla CEO alienates the demographic likely to adopt electric cars, while courting the "Drill, baby, drill!" crowd. Bold strategy, Elon. Let's see how that plays.

       @qlpI've been considering the 2023 Chevy Bolt EV.Three reasons:1.) It's on the list of cars expected to qualify for the US Electic Car tax rebate of $7500 as of 01/01/2023.2.) It's one of 3 cars on that list for less than $40,000 USD.3.) Out of the three, it's the only one with more than 250 miles (~402km) of battery range.Before tax-rebate, the MSRP is $25,600 USD and the range is 259 miles (~417km).At an after tax-rebate cost of $18,100 USD, I'll live with the range.
