#sports and #music for fun. Social and environmental issues out of interest.

@WillyECoyote69 Just learned today that Jefferson Starship was the continuation of Airplane. I only know this song by the way. From the soundtrack of Tour of Duty.

I’ll be probably by the only user that wants to control #Volumio by making use of #SmashTunes, the #macOS app for displaying #Spotify and #AppleMusic. But hey, I’m the author of this software, so why not add this functionality?

Playing around with #websockets now. A basic setup is in place. Nice to work with open hard ware.

I must add that I’m super happy with my #Rivo+ Any other owners out here? Or #Volumio users?

#DigitalMusic

Interesting talk, but a bit too Russia friendly imo. He has a point though about Europe needing an own foreign policy instead of leaning on the USA.

If you’ve got a phono preamp on which you can change the gain, impedance and/ or capacitance, experiment a bit with them. Take a look at the specs of you element and change things. And listen. I which I had done this years earlier 😀

Especially lowering the impedance made quite a change.

Quite long, but very interesting talk by #JefferySachs at the #EuropeanParliament about the current state of the world. A lot of background.

@fozztexx I remember learning assembly on 68000 processors in uni. On Sun workstations. A lot of my peers were not amused that they could not do on their PCs, but 8086 had a more complex instruction set, less symmetrical. So the uni choose, 68000. It may well have been for the availability of those Sun machines, now I come to think of it.

#NowPlaying Ry Cooder - Chicken Skin Music.

Something relaxing from the #usa. Nice music, which I have not listened to too much. I guess it’s #blues with some #Americana mixed in. Good solid album.

You can hear why Ry’s Buena Vista Social Club project was such a success. He knows how to make great sounding music.

I bought this album based on the cover. I think it is really funny and light. A bargain for €10.

@nxadm yes, here it is less scary, especially given your history. Good luck! Hope for the best.

@nxadm I think the problem is that the established parties have lost their connection with their voters. They somehow don’t reach them and that is why they vote for the populists. Same here in the Netherlands (where they are not fascists). Implementing their agenda won’t get those voters back. Addressing the underlying issues may, but not without restoring connection.

@nxadm Yeah, all true, but Metz also ruled out the AfD for the next government. I don’t follow Germany much, but I think that we can trust people like that when they make promises like that.

@nxadm That Salvini guy is part of the extreme right as well. Don’t confuse that for the voice of Europe. The AfD has won, which is troublesome, but it does not mean that Germany is a totally different country all of a sudden.

The new German government will have great trouble to turn the ship around.

@SandraDeHaan Ja, dat is natuurlijk ook zo. Een slecht mens dus.

@SandraDeHaan Het zou best kunnen dat ze gewoon niet zo vaak de krant leest, maar wel Twitter en dergelijke. Beetje dom, al dan niet bewust. Of ze is gewoon kwaadaardig, net als de rest van het stel. Of een combinatie.

Good morning to readers; #Kyiv remains in Ukrainian hands.

Tomorrow #Germany will #vote. Will it stand by #Ukraine or give power to the pro-Russian far right?

Kirill, a Ukrainian in #Hungary, warns voters about ‘Orbanization’ of Germany.

We should no longer call #America the Land of the free, but the Land of the freak

— Mart de Kruif, former chief of staff of the Dutch army.

USA, hold your head in shame. Once a global leader, now part of the axis of evil.

The world needs true leaders who stand for justice, not betrayal. It’s time to build a new global order based on truth and courage.

Victory and justice for #Ukraine. The fight continues. #StandWithUkraine

After having spoken to Vladimir Putin, Trump claims Ukrainian president Zelenskyy’s approval rating is 4 percent.

The actual number is 57 percent, which Trump would know, if he ever did some fact checking.

US voters have elected an amateur.
