One of my favorite Canadian bands. I love to put this on and kick back and witness the guitar wizardry of Ian Thornley. https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLdrCg8t2DEYpOxSsnhhyMgXSR1KCE2qPc&si=7QRS3xZLnrOtWPRy #bigwreck #live #ianthornley #rock #music #guitar #guitarist #canada #Canadian #canadians

RSS really feels a cure against Enshittification. Let's share interesting #rsstips for great places to add to our feeds!
I really like the "Ancient History"-tag on All That's Interesting for bite-sized and fun, but very insightful articles about ancient history

What are your RRS-app recommendations? I use Feeder, and I like its simplicity, but I would love trying out other ones
The internet has massively sucked for quite a while now. @pluralistic calls this Enshittification. Let's talk about it and some ways we can get around it. In this installment I talk about cutting the noise of the internet with an RSS Reader. https://deadbeatguitarist.ca/2026/01/13/fight-against-the-enshittification-of-the-internet-with-an-rss-reader/ #enshittification #rss #fluentreader #takebacktheinternet #rssguard #linux #news #coreydoctorow #rssreaders #bigtech #techbros #mastodon
My observation of The Grateful Dead in light of Bob Weir's recent passing. Do you have any Grateful Dead stories of your own to share? I'd love to hear about it. https://deadbeatguitarist.ca/2026/01/12/the-grateful-dead-an-idea-and-a-band/ #thedead #bobweir #thegratefuldead #gratefuldead #longstrangetrip #music #legend #songwriter #songs #guitar #jamband #jam
I am releasing music in a completely different way going forward. No online streaming services, cassette and CD release only, and copy and share the shit out of it. If you want the wav file to write your own CD or make your own tape let me know. https://deadbeatguitarist.ca/music-releases/2025-christmas-cassette-tape/ #music #manifesto #humancreated #human #xmas #christmas #cassette #cassetteculture #cassettetape #cd #guitar #soulseek #creators #creative

It's Not Just You: Music Streaming Is Broken Now
OK, late to the AI party. Not really a fan as a singing guitarist, but it's not going away so here we go. I wanted my own locally trained AI so it seems like Ollama was the way. I was surprised to find out it got information like band names and their songs wrong a lot of the time - deepseek and gemma3 were equally bad. Asked it to retry and .... survey says... it's still dismal. wow. Can anyone tell me how AI actually helps them? #ai #wtf #whatactuallyworks #deepseek #gemma3 #ollama
