Would be very interested to know if Meta (listed as a “partner” organization) is providing financial support, like how fellow partner the Ford Foundation lists a $50k grant[1] in February 2024 to the Exchange Point Institute, which is the “fiscal sponsor” of the Social Web Foundation[2]
Not to mention that their napkin math is wrong by a factor of 12
No replies yet so I’ll give it a try - feel free to ignore if you solved this already
Are you using pipewire? I would think that either helvum or qpwgraph would be able to route the audio from youtube into bitwig but I haven’t tried to do this.
Regardless of what happened on the sidelines, Hawkins added that on the field, there was sportsmanship, as some of the Bow soccer players reached out to the transgender girl on the Plymouth team.
“Some of the fellow soccer players from Bow actually sent supportive letters of love and support and encouraging that student to continue to play,” Hawkins said.
The kids are alright ❤️
You may want to double-check that math ;)
Did no one in the replies happen to notice that this is a loan
Corporations and surveillance?
Yep absolutely, and even those numbers likely represent raw emissions figures vastly lower than the true impact these data centres are having on global emissions.

Isn’t technofeudalism great?
I would like to hear you say it
What’s strange about defending people’s freedom to be themselves?
What’s the problem with drag queens reading to kids, exactly?
Very cool! Yeah I will definitely need to crack open some more of these tools and just keep playing, I haven’t even tried most of them yet, will have to explore that select-4 module first though
Also that strip on your controller looks like fun to use!
I don’t have a video to share but one of the things I discovered was, if I use the note expressions to randomize velocity a bit, and then map velocity to the likelihood of transposing notes up an octave… now every time a midi chord plays, I can get a different voicing. Got a feeling I’ll be using that technique a lot
Like it or not, things sometimes become symbols for other things, and especially given the political climate, it makes sense for people to get their guard up if they see something that looks like one of those symbols that represents, say, an utterly toxic ideology.
