The nice thing about statements starting with "Billy Corgan said" is that I can just stop reading there and move on. Don't even need to bother with the rest.

In the last month, we've probably got as many influencer emails as in the last 5 years. I can easily triage LLM-generated artist requests: "collaboration" = "can I have your stuff for free?" "partnership" = "can I have your stuff for free and also will you pay me to make a video?"

It would be dope if Apple could make an App Store Connect that was only for devs that have been making iOS apps since the beginning. The whole site, which we need to maintain our products, is basically useless due to the avalanche of slop. This has been the case for some weeks now.

hard part of being a democratic socialist is all the assholes assuming you're allies: social democrats, tankies, other democratic socialists, etc.

Dear Instagram visual artist: waiting for you to turn your canvas around is only interesting when one of you is doing it. When you’re all doing it, it becomes quite tedious.

I've been making plugins for 25 years; I am, by any measure, an expert, having put in my 10,000 hours several times over. Believe me when I say that even LLM assisted, a proper product takes months to tune. If you want to give your money to a one-shot shop, that's your choice, but caveat emptor.

If you are in public, and you’re watching your iPad at full volume with no headphones, you don’t get to act surprised that other people find you irritating.

IMPORTANT UPDATE: Quaristice is no longer my favorite Autechre album. It is now in 2nd place. Plus is now my favorite Autechre album. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
