Watching Worship on the Coachella feed. Does it really take 4 dudes to work some CD decks? The spectacle is the visuals and lighting design tho.

The transcript shows the moment astronaut Reid Wiseman reported four confirmed meteor impact flashes on the lunar surface during the far-side eclipse, while the science team communicator on the ground reacts with visible excitement, mouth open mid-laugh, describing her colleagues at the CERB literally jumping up and down.

icymi, I made a site that archives/transcribes audio from the NASA Artemis II mission feed, was finally able to deploy it publicly last night

here's one of my favorite moments... the crew reporting meteor impact flashes on the moon (and mission control's reaction on stream)

Oh AI. You'd be adorable if you weren't being used for anything in the real world.

We were really excited a bit over a year ago to be at a panel with the Artemis II crew at SXSW.

We didn’t because we weren’t able to get a NASA feed that wasn’t full of produced “packages” and other non comms 🫤

Thank you for understanding

More traffic never equates more donations for us. Please email us (dj@) to discuss some options that may work for both of us

Please don’t do that, it costs us real money in royalties for your use. Each stream listener costs us. Hope you understand.

"SomaFM is like comfort food for me... Sometimes I just need somebody else to "take the wheel" on music, and not only with elegance, but with taste. Thank you all for doing what you do, and you're one of the few bastions on the internet that I still feel like I can trust." -- from Albuquerque, NM

So many crappy AI generated press releases about crappy AI generated music hitting our mailbox 😡

US man pleads guilty to defrauding music streamers out of millions using AI Michael Smith, 52, charged after flooding platforms with thousands of AI songs and boosting them with bots

Streamers are scammed by music made by bots listened to by bots. There are 60,000 fully AI-generated tracks delivered to Deezer daily. The AI-shitstorm never stops!

That’s how the internet was.

There is a special place in hell for sites that pre-check the “sign me up for spam” button

Their smart meters are supposed to be telling them that something is out of bounds… but apparently nothing is set up to monitor those kind of over or under voltage trends

we had a similar problem a while back but it was low voltage, very low like 90v at night.
