Emacs lolz.
"GNU Emacs is an old-school C program emulating a 1980s Symbolics Lisp Machine emulating an old-fashioned Motif-style Xt toolkit emulating a 1970s text terminal emulating a 1960s teletype. Compiling Emacs is a challenge."

Today's Cold Turkey wisdom: "Either write something worth reading or do something worth writing."
Working on it Ben.
@elomatreb @Azure My intro to programming and animation and application logic was in the form of games and digital toys. I was fascinated with tech from an early age tho.
The key is to stop doing "mass teaching". Personalize the lesson plan, based on the human being taught, by understanding their interests and giving them a reason to be curious.
Everyone has curiosity. When we don't, it's a sign of unhealthiness, and learning can help nurture healthier minds.

One of the best early lessons one of my early career mentors taught me is to never be loyal to companies.
be loyal to friends
to coworkers
to yourself
But never to corporations. Corporations are there to exploit you, not to take care of you. They are not loyal to you.
So DIY media: Release the things and talk about the things and this is so important.
Print the zines. Release the CDs and the Cassettes, even though it's a pain in the ass. Archive that shit. Give it away. Ask people to pay for it, too, but focus on making something that will last first.
(Because for most artists the problem isn't piracy it's obscurity.)
This was 3 years ago! in 3 years, half the local music I listened to regularly disappeared.
And the people who made it, mostly, don't care anymore. They are parents with kids now, or they've moved on to other things.
3 years ago it was really important that no one heard their music that didn't pay for it. Now, you can't even pay for most of it.
And, when I watched this play out in real time, I saw people frequently choosing not to archive their content in highly public places out of fear that
- It wasn't good enough
or
- People would take it without paying for it.
And I guess either of those things might actually be viable concerns the day that you release the content, but I can't tell you how many of those things that folks decided not to make *too* available are just gone now.
Because in ten years, the only people that stand a chance of being remembered are the ones that we have proof existed.
If you don't write about your favorite local act, will anyone ever know about them?
If your favorite local act never releases a recording, will anyone ever care once they know about them?
