You had to mention the Stranglers and that notoriously. Golden Brown drum sequence still haunts me.
Mind you, never ever even tried something more horrifyingly difficult, such as - say - Boston's More Than A Feeling or anything my Jonathan Moffet or sorts... Was more to let of steam.
@cataspanglish
Uhm. Generally not wrong, what you are saying, but my garage space is taken up my bikes of all types and sizes.
And it's a small "résidence", as they say here, so I _could_ shove the bikes aside and set up a drum set instead - but I fear 😱 that I might damage the millenials on the 2nd floor irreparably.
Wait a minute. PLAN! 😈
@cataspanglish
Flat still small. Kids. It's a no-go.
Will revert to that, when the midlife crisis kicks in fo' real.
Drumset needs space. Space at a premium in Lux
@cataspanglish
Oh, I played a Yamaha DD7 for a year or two. Couldn't afford a real set and no space in my room for anything more substantial.
@cataspanglish
Me too. More useful as doorstops than paperbacks.

Song To The Siren (Remastered), a song by This Mortal Coil on Spotify

This is the short answer. A book version (hardcover) will be upcoming.

Ohmy. Story of my life. At the ripe old age of 7 I drove my Romanian piano teacher to madness. I regret doing that now. She wasn't prepared for dealing with free spirits and totally didn't get Shostakovich. Dilettante❕
I sing, although i only cover half an octave on the alto end and thus not every song is for me.
I stuck to school radio thus, until management forbade me to sing along to Depeche Mode songs, citing a general need to get fellow students OUT of depression. Not into it

reading about the history of strawberry switchblade, they got big and did an album, and ryuichi sakamoto got in touch about producing their second album, at which point they admitted it was all a joke and they were trying to be an outrageous pastiche of a bubblegum pop band as an art project but got famous by accident, then they disbanded. incredible. i love them
So, it took me around 20 years to understand the Cocteau Twins.
By the same token, I have proven my planky thickness to Mastodon. You're welcome.
Day, day go away. Come again some other... uhm... day.

An esoteric lesson many on the fediverse can learn.
Each person is a point within a circle... able to influence what happens within their circle, but beyond those bounds, it's risky to act.
If you draw another to you, a life partner perhaps, that circle grows.
A family? it grows further.
Those of like mind? it grows again.
Working together, groups of people can effect more change than realized because of this.
Draw some circles close. Make some things happen.
Good night and good luck.
@paolo ADB has been a constant companion since forever. But I, for one, didn't make the link betw Oath and Yahoo (b/c I never investigated it). I just found their opt-out dialogue incredibly tedious, but no alarms go off.
You pin on Yahoo that they're not playing fair with peoples' data. I wager you the same applies to every counterparty that is commercial.
If I'm wrong with that statement, it still poses the question how to educate the great unwashed on this.
Let's discuss on Wed, shall we?
@cataspanglish
I refer to "other angle". Alternatively the universe might be trying to tell you something.

Are there software tools/plugins that automate filling out, e.g. the Oath checklist, according to general preferences (from "privacyphiliac" to "I'm stupid"), cause otherwise everyone is going to click on "accept all" every time. 2/2
@paolo
Yeah. Your point raises the chief issue: the effort required to opt out of all this mass data collection (including educating yourself on data processors and what it might mean that data is passed on to them) is unrealistically high or, at best, disproportionate.
To be hard-line about privacy implies that you disconnect from the net, full stop.

NB: FB doesn't need to be preinstalled/irremovable to be crapware.
