TLDR

1. My definition of "P2P" or "Federated" is that if server A goes down, servers B and C can still talk to each other.

2. Bluesky/"Atmosphere" fails at this because Blacksky (B) utilizes Bluesky (A) to talk to me (C).

3. In order for Blacksky to avert this, they have to do something unreasonable and expensive.

4. Blacksky someday *will* do this, but will depend heavily on massively overworking Rudy and a few other people. This may someday fail.

5. ActivityPub has problems, but not these

As GUM TAKES TOOTH, the duo of Thomas Fug and Jussi Brightmore plot an adventurous, idiosyncratic and willfully unpredictable trajectory. Continuously exploring and mutating with an ever more nuanced approach while maintaining a staunch commitment to non-conformity, the band formed in East London in 2009 with wild gigs across the East London underground music and art scene. Early material coalesced primitive DIY Silver Apples electronics, blast beat mayhem, and experimental noise with explosive avant-punk energy.

Now marrying an unflinching beat-driven assault to a questing and transformative vision, their fourth album RECOVERY POSITION (2023) represents a clean slate for Gum Takes Tooth at a time when this ever shifting and morphing entity sheds its skin once again, revealing a lean, formidable and precise new form.

Recalibrating their signature enmeshing of drums and electronics they landed on a propulsive all-electronic delivery that stubbornly eschews genre constraints while maintaining the duo’s clear affinity for  the rattle and rumble of bass bins under duress. Thus was birthed a unique amalgam of industrial grime aerobics, sci-fi mutant 808 protest music and hands-in-the-air rave bangers.

The album documents the tumultuous years of personal and worldwide upheaval since its predecessor. Yet the duo have alchemically transcended their circumstances, channelling the personal and political into salvation. True to form, what’s emerged is their most singular and potent work to date, simultaneously their most pop-adjacent and their most extreme.

KEYMPI, who have been collaborating with each other for the past 10 years in several projects ranging from long experimental feature films - selected and awarded prizes in film festivals around the globe-, a series of live cabaret shows, independent music radio programmes and music production, experimental fashion proposals, folklore research and currently they are uniting forces once again for a music project intended to enhance our individual trajectories and push the boundaries of the sound we collectively revere.

my dogs if i may drop public informational tone for a moment i think it is fucking awful for a society of living creatures to be sold a future wherein everything is fucking broken and inexplicable and at the mercy of a black box run for the profit of four corporations. I think it is fucking awful to have an industry that claims to sell the notion of of "intelligence" as utility, like water, as a cover for a trojan horse high that makes the wielder feel like a god by corroding everything they touch, like acid.

we used to have "intelligence" run like a wild stream through these parts, a byproduct of people "living their brilliant little lives," but these days it's all on the meter and belches brown from the faucet as a firehose of microplastics and lead leached straight to the dome

I switched my Mac launcher from Spotlight to TinyStart two weeks ago and it was an instant delight.

I used to use quicksilver, but when that waned, I went back to basics. As of late, spotlight has been very unreliable.

If you’re anything like me, TinyStart will make you happy.
