Image of a screenshot of news headline, saying, "WhatsApp is getting ads using personal data from Instagram and Facebook Forced Consent & Consent Bypass / 16 June 2025 Meta announced today that it also wants to introduce ads on WhatsApp, which will be based on personal data from Facebook and Instagram. This further integrates WhatsApp into other Meta services - an originally independent app, which initially was available for just $1 per year without ads or data usage. This also means that Meta is consolidating its social networking monopoly. EU law was actually supposed to prevent this."

Use Signal. We promise, no AI clutter, and no surveillance ads, whatever the rest of the industry does. <3

Desperately need shared folder sync on mac.

glorious sunny day out so I'm the basement making stuff, obviously

Humane mouse trap in action! Let this wee chap out into nearby field the next morning.

Clever idea!

But neither does the mp10ii

My experience is that a mp6ii and mp10ii would drift. When manually aligned they’d be off by a few hundred samples within hours, causing very audible phase issues.

mp10ii does not have wordclock i/o, so you’re definitely drifting. record for more than a few hours and it’ll be obvious.

what mic are you using to record in 3rd order? or are you just up-upscaling? (Audio Brewers?)

that's a great idea

I didn't think you could clock sync mixpre's? how are you doing that? (else you'd get phase issues from the inevitable digital drift)

blimey!! would love to hear that in atmos room.

Lewitt LCT mic mounted into Rycote shock mount for blimp

I found a way of mounting them in WS1 size blimps, using the old hoop design. not crazy big, but still a royal PITA!

I have a quad set in blimps. Huge hassle to lug around but the result is almost always worth it. Wonderfully quiet.

What a plonker.

A pair of Austrian Audio OC818 large diafragm microphones suspended in a blumlein-like arrangement.

Trying to figure out how to mount a pair of OC818s in an old large (stereo) rycote for ambisonic / double ms field recording. Not going to be swinging around on a boom but need to be secure enough to not displace in transit.

Mid-life crisis going well. Not good (at my age) to run every day but final week push to meet end of year distance goal was worth the risk!#running #ultrarunner

have they spoofed the "from" address?

John Coltrane Draws a Picture Illustrating the Mathematics of Music Physicist and saxophonist Stephon Alexander has argued in his many public lectures and his book The Jazz of Physics that Albert Einstein and John Coltrane had quite a lot in common.
