it’s just an average 90s shot…

Yeah, that’s what happens when you upscale low-res text.

what’s the third image? and can you really call that spiked hair?

Would you say Gig is a sequel to Breathe?

i agree but i think that one’s just a good transition

oops

coincidentally i think the actual wish you were here song is also a folksy one but more rock

For that song I wouldn’t have chose these two parts. I would’ve gone for Part 1 and Part 3. Instead of a sequel Part 2 feels like a separate installment if you get what I mean.

Plus that’s kind of cheating. Is every prog song split into multiple parts considerable for this? Like also from Pink Floyd, Wish You Were Here (the suite?) is split into two large sections, and the folksy Pigs on the Wing acts like a storybook introduction and ending split into two parts and put at the start and end of the album.

There’s a ton more examples like that. Especially on concept albums. The Beach Boys’/Brain Wilson has Wonderful, Song for Children (Look), Child is Father of the Man, and Surf’s Up exploring the same idea and building on top of one another.

Radiohead’s Creep, My Iron Lung, and All I Need

I don’t think stopping anyone from working on anything is the way to combat the AI problem. It’s not like this event’s requirements somehow disproportionately makes projects easier for AI to train on.

In other news, Big Tech uses Chinese labor, and the water in the Pacific tastes is too salty to replace tap water

the projects don’t have to e hosted on github

there’s a tool called wakatime that many editors offer† as an extension, and you have to write a blog post every 10 hours, which the organizers will review along with the projects mentioned

† meaning it’s on the editor’s extension marketplace

you can’t order foreign entities to change especially if you’ve banned them already

However, the 2023 trial overseen by US District Judge James Donato revealed a pattern of scheming on Google’s part to prevent the distribution of alternative app stores on Android phones. While Android devices do allow sideloading of apps, and the platform is open source, Google’s scale and partnerships with OEMs made it a de facto monopoly. This led the court to impose extensive remedies that could remake the mobile app ecosystem.

in the linked article on the 2023 trial:

At the time, Google was quick to point out that the ability to sideload apps on Android meant Epic hadn’t been completely barred from distributing Fortnite on the platform (as it had been on iOS). “The open Android ecosystem lets developers distribute apps through multiple app stores,” Google said in 2020. “While Fortnite remains available on Android, we can no longer make it available on Play because it violates our policies. However, we welcome the opportunity to continue our discussions with Epic and bring Fortnite back to Google Play.”

By April 2020, Epic had returned to the Google Play store, accusing Google of imposing a number of important limits on its sideloaded software. As the company said at the time:

Google puts software downloadable outside of Google Play at a disadvantage, through technical and business measures such as scary, repetitive security pop-ups for downloaded and updated software, restrictive manufacturer and carrier agreements and dealings, Google public relations characterizing third-party software sources as malware, and new efforts such as Google Play Protect to outright block software obtained outside the Google Play store.

on what? there’s a gazillion chinese android app stores already, which makes chinese android phones need a ton more ram to compensate for all the update notification etc. services clogging up the backend

One is definitely racist.

plus the idea that the country might be gone in two months
