  • Really annoyed today with how modular synth enthusiasts gatekeep the entire hobby by lecturing everyone who dares to use behringer modules in their setups. Some asshole felt the need to tell me that it’s kind of problematic of me to use a behringer Four LFO because it’s ACTUALLY a clone of the xaoc batumi. First of all, yes I know; second of all, I’m not fucking paying 300€ for the literal exact same device when the behringer clone is like 60€ new. And lord have mercy if you have the audacity to get one of behringers clones of a Mutable Instruments module. No no no, you must track down one of these original MI modules that have been out of production for years and pay 5x the price for it (again, it’s literally the exact same machine). idk and idc about behringer’s business practices or whatever the fuck, but mf i have a mortgage to pay and I like modular synths, deal with it. I need to think of some good comebacks for whenever someone confronts me about this again…



  • jesus christ, I just got back to work from vacation to the wonderful news of a “usage of at least one AI-assisted coding tool” mandate from some bullshit-job-having higher-up. They’re really gonna fuck up the one thing I kind of enjoyed with this job, namely writing the actual code in vim and instead force me to iteratively trial-and-erroring some fucking hallucinated garbage until it maybe ish works, at the low, low cost of the yearly energy usage of a small village, using a bullfuck electron app that takes six whole-ass seconds to start up. I’m gonna go with my regular strategy regarding these things and just lie and not actually use any of it hhhehehe.
