The Counterforce

Discovered this french-language zine from Brussels while in Lille on tour last month. Similar to The Counterforce, an anarcho-punk contribution based zine, comes out every month with 6 issues. They release the PDF online, so I'll be printing copies and distroing them in Montreal from now on!

Hey everyone! I want to get hold of an 808 clone but really don't know which to choose. Any recommendations? I don't really care about the sequence unless it can be synched with MIDI (MTC or MMC).

Boosts welcome

@Alice Then I discover the damned written instructions do not include a diagram of the (unlabeled) control panel they refer to... so I have to cue up a video to see what the heck they are talking about.

@Alice There is one exception.
- mid/late 2000s
- communication via Notepad
- "Let the bodies hit the floor" as the only audio
- Unregistered Hypercam 2
- tutorial shows you exactly the steps you need and nothing else

I am the opposite; videos sometimes help explain things better because of the visual instructions, but at the same time, if the subject is more of a reasoning problem that does not require as much visual information, I prefer text.

Often language has similar words or similar sounding words that people speak with incorrectly without really knowing or realizing it's misleading or not quite right.

There is a more specific words and less misleading versions of or ...

➡️ For example "Common sense"
...might mean "Common principles"

"Sense" is similar to "principles" but importantly principles can be more specific or measured way of saying / doing things so a list everyone can see is more agreeable, rather than your own version of "sense" which might be differently measured than list of "principles".

Since EVERYONE IS DIFFERENT and naturally they have different personality, it's better to measure it a bit more clearly which a list of principles in the middle which can help indicate agreement or debate things with less .

➡️ Another example
(quick-fast / maybe not perfect)

💜 Love for others is perhaps top of the of for Jesus ✝️ and his principles - so clears up a lot of confusion between people or or - presenting a |Yes| or |No| simple question

We all need need to debate what loving people or looking after them means perhaps after that, but can assume better and not guess too not far off than even more general / unspecific words.

So if is top 5 on your list then a debate "Common sense" or "Common principles" about Jesus or something can be quickly agreed / answered rather than something .

are always good.

"Common sense" is a thought-stopping phrase and concept. It is the same as saying, "Just go with cultural traditions which support prejudice and oppression because those are familiar and comfortable."

When you see someone appealing to "common sense" when defending prejudice/bigotry, they're encouraging people to suspend thought or criticism that might challenge prejudice, and instead, retreat unthinkingly to the comfortable inertia of the social norms which establish the prejudice in question.

I’m a bad person with a short temper, who occasionally realizes his anger should be turned on himself.

But thank you for your kindness.

I'm honestly really fucking angry I don't see anyone in tech talking about this, ever.

The two hardest problems in Computer Science are

1. Human communication
2. Getting people in tech to believe that human communication is important

Totally agree. This is why I argue for "non-autistic" in papers to describe research participants who are... not autistic, but could be unusual in loads of ways we didn't measure.
