"Become ungovernable" has a varied history, laid out tidily, if wordily, by Nikita Shepard, and can, I reckon, be applied in creative pursuits as well.

See also, BIATFD.

Men Qi's Horizon is a new performative instrument processor thing and I smile at the thought that if the teaser video survives a thousand years it might confuse future generations.

Understanding Calculating Empires is a dauntingly icky look at the "genealogy of technology and power since 1500."

Digital Curation and Preservation, there's a course for that.

Little Snitch tip - annoyed by Cloudfront, an Amazon-owned CDN, continually popping up, I put the domain on a tight 10 minute leash when absolutely necessary, and soycott the site.

Soycott is a combination of soy and boycott, used to denote shunning some one or thing based on a notably watered down moral ground, as compared to things you might boycott.

I soycotted that YouTuber when I saw that they reviewed Behringer gear.

Not a day goes by that I don't soycott an X/AI/crypto-supporting artist / developer / company.
