  1. Turned out to be exactly what I wanted! Great sounding wah, clean or into gain, easy push to activate, nice bright LEDs. Can customize to tone down the resonant spike, and switch wah to a warmer freq range. Great taper in both wah and volume modes. Nice grippy surface, super solid build, lightweight. And does midi expression! Sleeper MVP pedal...

  2. @samvarma @billyjoebowers the complete gutting of the camera was my weeping point…. #AppleUpdate #Enshittification. As my 80+ year old dad said, wow, it’s taking us back to 2000 technologies! Nostalgia tech!

  3. @samvarma It’s amazing how often a simple is what sets off someone’s . We should design shirts with built-in .

    Latency should be a number in the product description.

    Converting audio into a stream of numbers, doing math on them, and converting them back to audio has to take time. Minimizing that on the algorithm level and the hardware level should be a priority.

    On the other hand, you'll sell more pedals if you add eighty new kinds of flerb than if you only make it more efficient.

    With the benefit of hindsight, I don’t think #Taibbi went anywhere. His writing on the housing/banking crisis was just the Putin anti-capitalism propaganda we wanted to hear at the time.

  10. Side note: this pedal is worth its weight in gold. I use it as my main compressor when I play electric, but it is just absolute gold for acoustic too. Cory Wong compressor.

  11. @samvarma A great friend built that from new parts + gold hardware with those pickups, and just shipped it to me out of the blue. 🙂

  12. @samvarma also happy new year to you as well! Thanks for making me feel at home here and being such a generous cheerleader, you kinda brought me out of my shell and I'm afraid there's no going back in. #watchOutWorld #hereICome

  13. @benroyce @samvarma Palantir is pushing hard on global id for social media. It makes it a lot easier for the paramilitaries to find dissidents.

    The DOJ hs been sending hundreds, maybe thousands, of administrative subpoenas , which are not approved by a judge, demanding any and all data on users who have been critical of ICE and the Regime on every platform except Masto. There’s no easy way to threaten a decentralized system.

    The compliance team at TikTok are all retired from the #IDF #unit8200 instituted an automatic system to comply, and turn them over instantly. Legal orgs are trying to determine how the other companies are complying.

    First thing we do, kill all the data centers, if I could poorly paraphrase the Bard.

    #bluesky feels very #cryptocurrency

    which makes sense since it's run by #crypto bros and funded by #cryptobros

    the way they work is they make exciting starry eyed promises

    people buy into the promises

    and forget the reality

    this is by design:

    a true believer is immune to reality

    the reality is, it's #centralized shit endlessly promising what #mastodon already offers

    #decentralization is always just around the corner, just you wait!

    and wait, and wait, and wait...

  15. Lovely, thoughtful piece. I also struggle with my book collection. @ewen social.ewenbell.com/objects/06

  16. "Upgrade" (2018) was very, very good. Sort of like a feature length Black Mirror episode. Twisty revenge story in the near future, stylishly done.

    Heavier on the human aspect, less heavy on the whiz bang, which gave the story a satisfying heft.

  17. Wow. This is especially interesting in the context of the World War II bombing raids over Japan, where they couldn't figure out why their extremely intricate Norden analog bombsight was off. They were not taking the jetstream into account.

    Referencing "The Bomber Mafia" here, which is utterly fascinating, and might be available as an audiobook from your library, which is how I consumed it.

  18. Can confirm: "His & Hers" on Netflix is a super solid murder mystery that goes hard until the *very* end.
