Given Korg are so abysmal at writing drivers on Windows .... someone kindly fixed them... and it works really well

Share widely.... this saves hours of registry hacking for those who have lots of Korg kit

Naming the capsule "Integrity" has to be a joke right?

Like seriously, it must be a joke... Either than or Alanis Morissette will be asking NASA to hold her beer

It's simple, if you throw paint on a plane then you get proscribed and any 80 year olds defending you get arrested.

If you ask people to burn down hotels, and they try, you get an interview in the Telegraph and positive coverage in the BBC.

That's sensible, proportionate policing.

💥 The NFL is stoked to be woke.

“All 32 teams will feature an end zone message of their choice at each home game throughout the season, selecting from four options: ‘End Racism,’ ‘Stop Hate,’ ‘Choose Love’ or ‘Inspire Change.’

Social justice messages to continue in end zones
For the sixth straight season, all 32 NFL teams will feature a message of their choice in one end zone at each home game and "It Takes All of Us" in the opposite one.

That's the point... and merging UKSA into DSIT is not a good look for the UK as a whole, no matter how click baity the BBC headline is, its not a good thing full stop
The original reason UKSA was created outside any government department was to foster a culture of innovation. I worry that bringing it back inside will cause it to lose that freedom and be subject to the glacial decision making of Westminster. The very opposite of an innovation culture.

Lovely weekend at the Rewind Festival. Great to hear real artists, playing real instruments, who pen real lyrics, driven by real experience... and not some tosh, who think that to chuck a prompt at Chat GPT to create a song allows them to call themselves musicians and producers

Lovely evening with friends observing the Perseid peak last night. 41 total, some really bright at around mag -3/4

If it's clear again this evening, I'll probably do the same

Outstanding video from #starskycarr on the Jupiter 8 vs System-8. Owning both over the years (and still the System-8) he nails it, and shows why, along with the V-Synth, The System-8 is absolutely the best synth they have done in decades @sonicstate.bsky.social @prosynthnetwork.bsky.social
