Hmm lets give it a shot on the #Mastodon side of things @TheOnlyJoey@mastodon.online, maybe this platform will actually stay doing what people made join the platform in the first place (Joined Twitter 13 years ago, problems started a year-ish ago? wonder why...)

I think I will keep my #Twitter around for a little bit still, though #Mastodon definitely has been straight up better as an experience since I have been using it. Probably will leave once this becomes the 'everything app' that mr musk wants to turn this into.

Always great when Work gets interrupted with... other work! @BSGMarathon starts tomorrow for me (Stream starts sunday!) setting up and managing audio, halfway the event moving to Germany once again for production at 42 Gear Street! @EytschPi42. Yay event period #nosleep!

So far #Mastodon seems to be like twitter was over a decade ago.... which is absolutely perfect!! The reason i joined Twitter was to keep up with cool projects and people or have nice conversations about things, without any algorithms or bullshit. So yeah @TheOnlyJoey" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">mastodon.online/@TheOnlyJoey

Honestly don't know if Twitter is the place anymore for people who just want a place to keep in contact with projects, people's shenanigans and artists. I don't do anything fb/meta related so maybe need to look into the big old elephant one. Its sad, i liked twitter.....

No amount of Money will ever solve problems, only people do. Millions don't move a single atom while a single person can move millions of atoms. If you don't invest in people, don't invest at all. Money is only trivial if you own 'enough' of it, then it looses all value.

WIth Twitter becoming worse and worse every day for the last months, I am wondering when enough is just enough. Threads is not an alternative (same reason I am not on FB or Insta), Mastodon seems still quite niche. Twitter is my last standing social (not including Discord or YT).

Most guitar pedals are based on existing designs, reading the schematic and making adjustments or inspiring designs on them. Ergo, guitar pedals have been using the open source mentality non explicitly without anyone realizing.

Showerthought: Thinking about how the web was more responsive and fast with a fraction of the infrastructure back in the day, It should not be allowed for websites to take up 100s (to 1000s) of megabytes. In the end its just text and images, how did we end up with this bloat....

Solid combination so far! @Bitwig on #Linux (#Debian Sid, #pipewire), @WeAreNovation Launchpad X and out of screen @AudientWorld iD14! Rocking this setup for the near future!

Another 'hot take' I keep defending for over a decade. #Playstation should have never moved away from the CELL architecture off the #PS3, PC ports got more available due to x86, but definitely not 'better'. Innovation got thrown out for lazyness and higher publisher profits.

Your occasional reminder that if giant, multi-billion dollar companies like EA and fucking STAR WARS can't get games to work perfectly across an infinite spectrum of different PC components, maybe go easy on your friendly neighbourhood indie devs if their game has tech issues.

Maybe hot take? Every time anything turns into a "Us vs Them", the actual issue gets ignored/sidestepped and the the conversation/argument has been lost. This applies to work, politics, personalities, relationships, basically everything.

Death to false burgers!!!!! @GrillEmAll #LA

NAMM day 2 lets goooooo #SpectreDigital #lewitt #revv #audient

Colleague: Joey, why are you on the floor? Me: Compiling!

When real life is on low render distance and your phone makes it look like a 2003 era video game

I am confused, every time I touch the codebase of an audio plugin (VST), it takes me 20-30 Minutes to get a Linux version going, but still a lot of companies don't supply them. I like to support users regardless of their choice of OS. Multi-Platform should be the standard by now.
