#MODtober – 'From A Long Distance'.
This song was composed by me in 1994. My friend Tarh and I recorded the demo of this tune on two acoustic guitars. Shortly afterwards we formed the music- and #demoscene group called 'The SandS': thesands.ru.
In 2005 I recorded this song in form of #Amiga MOD

'The Song Of Peace' – I composed this tune in 2001 after 9/11 when the war against Iraq was started. In 2005 I recorded it for the 'PostMODism' musicdisk, in 4 channels using Amiga ProTracker. Since then, the song of peace has remained highly relevant.

Modern games: run on the latest Apple M3 processor with 24 gigabytes of memory and a fast solid-state drive, look like OutRun from the 80s, weigh 5.5 gigabytes, freeze during races (probably due to map loading), skip frames, and don't even have the option to reduce resolution.

Atlassian Jira is phenomenal. You see the modal window with 2 action buttons: Cancel and Close. The action you actually perform is called Done, while the window’s header say Close.
That’s why so many ugly interfaces around: designers and developers use Jira on daily basis. Their brains are infected.
