Fish in a Birdcage just released Rule #34 (it is indeed about sex) and Rule #35, Rule #4 (also titled Fish in a Birdcage) is his most famous and Rule #13 is also very good.

Cathal Coughlan (Microdisney, Fatima Mansions, Telefís). His solo album Black River Falls is beautiful (The Ghost of Limehouse Cut, Black River Falls, Frankfurt Cowboy Yodel)... To say nothing of Microdisney or the Fatima Mansions.

Actually one of the songs on his last album with Telefís was a mockery of TESCREAL beliefs. Space Is Us: "I will live forever in those racks of tin"

Tuğçe Şenoğul - Bu Rüya Değil

Mon Laferte - Amárrame

Lots of things by монеточка, such as Русский ковчег, for pure outright fun jams.

I have alllllll kinds. Being able to share music in an easy manner is actually a fucking disaster of a problem in recent years. Just try to copy a fucking track name out of something like Spotify or Apple Music.

It's a problem I want to solve.

Rival Consoles - Howl
Sleep Party People - Heap of Ashes
Nathan Fake - Drowning in a Sea of Love
Model/Actriz - Dogsbody
Katie Alice Greer - Barbarism
Blanck Mass - World Eater
Yves Tumor - Praise A Lord Who Chews But Which Does Not Consume; (Or Simply, Hot Between Worlds)

Some albums, mostly electronic, mostly experimental, that I've been enjoying.

I got no Spotify, and I buy a lot off bandcamp.

• Nate Borofsky, formerly of Girlyman, made a soundtrack for a community theater production of Romeo & Juliet
• Mint Green
• Me First and the Gimme Gimmes
• Kimya Dawson
• John Prine
• Rhiannon Giddens
• Maria Ka, a Polish, non Jewish singer who performs mostly in Yiddish.
• “Fuck the Tories”. Happy fourth of July.
• “FTP in der gasn”, a Yiddish and English arrangement of a nineteenth century song that got there before N.W.A.
• Amber Rubarth and Paper Raincoat (YT link)

Update 4 days later, the main Karen in charge of the promptfondlers is calling for the banning of users impertinent enough to flag their comments.

for people who thought this might not be related to the llm brainworms, the reasoning of the iterm2 author for inclusion of the feature (when promptedy by @gerikson@awful.systems) :

I got a number of requests. I also got tired of copy-pasting things to ChatGPT. Usually if I find a feature useful, other people do, too.

Saw this update yesterday and it pissed me really off. I've been using iTerm for almost 20 years at this point and it's a really good and well-integrated terminal application for Mac OS, and no one asked for it to add spicy autocomplete.

There's a fork already, lol.

Or maybe I'll just move over to Alacritty. I use that one my Linux machines and it's actually good, but the attitude of some of the developers when it comes to feature requests and contributions really makes me like it less than I could.

tbh the enforced civility and de facto ban on social issue discussion on lobste is not helping. (but after last “polite discussion” i had with the moderator i'm not going to bring it up anymore, just suspend the account or wait to be banned.)

Noooooooooooooo! Argh, I'll have to seriously consider using the fork FML.

EDIT: Not strictly required since apparently you have to provide an API key for it to be enabled, still it's not encouraging that the main developer thought this would be a good idea.

You've got to love the prompt jank: https://github.com/gnachman/iTerm2/commit/755dc2ed881d853f495ffaea2498452915e5e8cd?diff=split&w=0

EDIT 2: Given direct access to bad AI code to a dev workstation is bad enough, but given that the console is a primary way to connect to servers, where more havoc could be wrought, this is terrifying, I mean sure devs were already capable of bricking enviromnents, but supercharging "knowing just enough to be dangerous" is NOT a good idea.

the follow-up video is fucking scathing, and I’d like to take a moment to remember all the orange site posters who were fucking wrong when they pretended the rabbit leak was fake
