This is great organic dance music, reminiscent of the collective who did the original Cowboy Bebop soundtrack. It's fast, fresh, fidgety, fun, upbeat, and not all the appropriate thing to be listening to this close to the witching hour. But I have a podcast to finish and post ...
Would love to hear from you: which #FreeSoftware related #podcasts do you listen yourself or recommend to others?
I've been looking for a more accurate term for the neofeudalist entities usually described by the propaganda phrase "think tank". Investigate journalist Lucy Hamilton conveniently supplies the phrase "junk tanks";

"So the idea is, that guns aren't neutral, but it is also true that who we are, plus the technology, that leads to the affordances it has."

"The answer 'we have to fix capitalism' doesn't help. It might be true, but it doesn't help.
So here's where I think there are some ... interventions that would require a change in political will to enable. But there's very little stopping them other than a lack of political will, which is largely a result of capture of political power by economic interests."

So happy I realised I can get audio of the legendary KEXP live-to-air series as a podcast. Now I don't having to go through YouTub to hear them. But, PeerTube channel please KEXP! 馃檹

"[DJ Jazzy] Joyce slowed it down for a second and she said; do you know why the bass is so important?
... the bass replicates your mother's heartbeat. Which is the very first beat that we all ever hear.
And that stuck with me ..."

Link at end, but If any voice actors wanna build up their portfolio, I'd love to make more of my later blog posts into audio! I already have a narrator recording, On the Architectural Hostility of Doorknobs, but I am unable to pay for future audio for a while, but I'd still want my podcast to get some love too! If you can record pro bono, get in touch! I'd be happy to provide a link to your resume, let you record an intro or outro saying you're always looking to narrate, anything! https://sightlessscribbles.com/posts/#VoiceOver#Actor#Act#Narrator#Podcast#Podcasts
"The fediverse would be how you build that today, probably. Much less in 10 years, when it's just ... the infrastructure that you build this kind of thing on.
It's sort of like with transportation ... now we just have tools that, if you have a city, you're not going to invent a new way of getting around, you're just going to buy some buses, or build some roads. And that's what the fediverse is for ... online services ..."

"We also started to dive into the state of the open web, and why it feels like the web as a media platform is in decline, even though it's at an all-time high as an application platform."
@nilaypatel, 2025
I'd say that's because of predatory businesses setting out to use the application web ("Web 2.0") to kill the document web. Which is why people building the protocol-based social web are out to kill the dominance of predatory business.
Listening to an interview with folks from Data and Society on the Sunday Show, a podcast of Tech Policy Press;

They mention the "network state", which I'd never heard of.

Very disappointed to hear True School crew playing blatantly homophobic and transphobic rap on bFM, even as a listener request;

Where the Hood At by DMX, starts about 1:48:00. Followed by an announcement from the hosts, but not a single comments on how badly DMX's anti-queer mouthbreathing has aged;
"... besides central government providing education for your tamariki and health, local government is basically doing everything else. You turn your tap on in the morning, that's local government. You catch the bus or you drive on the road, that's all local government. You go to the library after school, you take your kids to sports, all of those playgrounds and everything that your tamariki are playing on is local government."

Journalists seem to finally be realising that #MOLE Trainers selling "AI" are selling us a bill of goods;
https://www.rnz.co.nz/podcast/mediawatch?share=d6af8e05-b61a-4f80-ace5-e9b00a408999
But they're still buying into the "hallucination" line. The MOLE is not "hallucinating", it's just generating plausible sentences. Just like when it outputs a sentence that happens to be accurate.
Either way, it's not "answering" your questions, it spitting out plausible sentences. Because this is all it can do.

"And of course we work with standards [for Libervia], with XMPP notably. It's a communications standard which is ... mainly know for instant messaging but it can actually do a lot more. So we use it also for blogging ... for these kinds of things.
And I've been working on a gateway [other protocols], notably ActivityPub, the protocol behind Mastodon, PeerTube, Mobilizon, etc."
