I shouldn't have to connect to Adobe to read my favourite Prag Prog books. That's dystopian and unneccesary. Time to replace the Kobo software and stop using their shop.08 Apr 2026 16:56 +0000at://did:plc:tcxos36drurov2cftima7zzz/app.bsky.feed.post/3miyr6wt3ik2yhttps://bsky.app/profile/speakerstand.bsky.social/post/3mijfbfp7es2uJust listening to an old Mad Mike Banks interview from 2017. He's just called out the Korg Volcas. I love a Volca. Much underated bits of kit. My favourite is the Volca Drum but they're all good in their own way. #Korg #volca02 Apr 2026 14:13 +0000at://did:plc:tcxos36drurov2cftima7zzz/app.bsky.feed.post/3mijfbfp7es2uhttps://bsky.app/profile/speakerstand.bsky.social/post/3mieid3uz6k2uWhy is Argentine businessman Fernando Fernández being allowed to sell off yet another British food group to an American company? This did not go well for Cadbury. Can not keep anything thing of value in the country? Why do we have turn everything to shit like this? #Unilever31 Mar 2026 15:25 +0000at://did:plc:tcxos36drurov2cftima7zzz/app.bsky.feed.post/3mieid3uz6k2uhttps://bsky.app/profile/speakerstand.bsky.social/post/3mhxxzwvcdc26The DX7 seems to come in for a bit of stick for 80s cheese but really I think the Roland D-50 is far, far more fromagey.26 Mar 2026 16:01 +0000at://did:plc:tcxos36drurov2cftima7zzz/app.bsky.feed.post/3mhxxzwvcdc26https://bsky.app/profile/speakerstand.bsky.social/post/3mhxbf2mhys2iThe amount of scammy dark UX patterns that @carwowuk.bsky.social have put on their website, it does not inspire confidence at all. I'm sure some MBA thinks if they can just trick pepole into doing... whatever. Will be giving them a swerve from now.26 Mar 2026 09:16 +0000at://did:plc:tcxos36drurov2cftima7zzz/app.bsky.feed.post/3mhxbf2mhys2ihttps://bsky.app/profile/speakerstand.bsky.social/post/3mhus74vasc2bConfession: every time Apple release an iOS update with emoji as the main feature, I just ignore it.25 Mar 2026 09:39 +0000at://did:plc:tcxos36drurov2cftima7zzz/app.bsky.feed.post/3mhus74vasc2bhttps://bsky.app/profile/speakerstand.bsky.social/post/3mhun6a7sjc2hMedia heuristics: Any text written completely in lowercase is probably not worth reading. Any video with burnt in subtitles in the same language as audio is also probably worth ignoring.25 Mar 2026 08:09 +0000at://did:plc:tcxos36drurov2cftima7zzz/app.bsky.feed.post/3mhun6a7sjc2hhttps://bsky.app/profile/speakerstand.bsky.social/post/3mh6znpm45s2pNormally when companies talk about their history they don't mention their competitors and certainly not positively. Yamaha has so much class that they can talk about the CS series synths and also mention great work by Moog, Roland, Oberheim and Sequential.16 Mar 2026 17:54 +0000at://did:plc:tcxos36drurov2cftima7zzz/app.bsky.feed.post/3mh6znpm45s2phttps://bsky.app/profile/speakerstand.bsky.social/post/3mh2gsuukqs2wI'm now the proud owner of a used Korg Minilouge XD, and I'm feeling remarkably pleased with myself. :D14 Mar 2026 22:06 +0000at://did:plc:tcxos36drurov2cftima7zzz/app.bsky.feed.post/3mh2gsuukqs2whttps://bsky.app/profile/speakerstand.bsky.social/post/3mgqe5xdofc2rReally sad news that Sir Tony Hoare has died.
