@errante@fedilist My plan, as always, is to keep my eyes open. Preemptively freaking out and doing random shit like instance-blocking them seems like a bad plan to me, but that is the most popular plan.
@meso@fedilist My friend woke me up when 9/11 was happening. I looked at the TV, some buildings in New York were falling down. I didn't see the big deal. I still don't think I should have to take off my shoes.
@lina@i@fedilist Or they accept and record every message they receive to train up an AI. There is no way to tell what is going on because every Mastodong either attended the meeting (universeodon dipshit) and honored the NDA, or spent their puny 500 characters virtue-signaling about how they refused the meeting, and zero of them infiltrated the meeting and recorded it and posted it.
@i@fedilist@p >whitelist federation out of the box then we've won before any action can be done, that just means they won't be able to do anything to us
@lina@fedilist@i They'd be able to filter, presumably. I mean, what they are actually planning to do is a complete mystery to anyone, but what they have the resources to do is somewhat well-known.
@p@i@fedilist i can only imagine the kind of AI that will come out of federating with youjo.love, bae.st, poa.st, lolison.top, etc. they absolutely can't just go onto the fediverse without blocking anyone, lest they want to see all the pedophiles talk about lgf's and wignats about how much they wish to suck BBC as an aryan own over the black race
@i@fedilist@p i just love how stupid they are honestly, you're up against corporations, but not the views they hold, and because of that you'll refuse to cooperate with the evil racists and homophobes
@Zerglingman Thanks, will listen once Awake I have managed to find and put in the CD player finishes playing. I'd also like to listen to some Liquid Tension, but I've only had one album and I haven't seen that CD for well over a decade, I think someone "borrowed" it and there it went 😔 Maybe I'll partake in some piracy later today 👉👈 Thanks for the link again!
@m0xee yarr harr fiddle dee dee Also I don't know about what DT's been doing lately, I think I listened to one song from ~2018 and it didn't really grab me
@Zerglingman Yeah, same here. But I am listening to very little of such music in general nowadays. The closest to prog I listen to these days is probably Mars Volta and Tool, maybe some King Crimson — but that is far shot from DT. I like these guys a lot: https://elephanttreeband.bandcamp.com/album/habits They are different too — more like stoner I suppose, but I really enjoy both their albums: this one and the self-titled. They have that spirit of old-school rock music, but sound fresh at the same time.
@Zerglingman It's good! Speaking of Melbourne, Australia, here is another one I enjoy a lot: https://jackharlon-dawsonthedeadcrows.bandcamp.com/album/the-magnetic-ridge It's also stoner/psychedelic, unlike DT's more clear "sober" sound, this one, not unlike all stoner rock, is heavily processed, it's dreamy, but it's trippy-dreamy — I'm not sure that it's your cup of tea. But it's story, or at least atmosphere, driven and quite interesting — it has a few highlights, but all album as a whole just flows really well together, I like that.
