Used to be that you'd have to have some sort of label and a name because they were gatekeeping the distribution and weren't gonna sign somebody for any old crap. I used to be able to keep up with 'all the dnb releases' by spending 15 minutes a week listening to sound clips of 10-20 tracks posted on Redeye or whatever, order the four or five i wanted, done. Now? I've got to spend 2 hours a week on beatport etc because there are 200 new tracks every week, very few by those names i recognize. Some of the tracks of the 'big names' are awful and some of the tracks by unknown indies are amazing, so you can't really just filter like that. what if you made an app that curates those 200 tracks into tight 80 minutes

the thing where automation replaces jobs and people say that well that technology will create new jobs is sort of true but most of the new jobs created are around fixing new problems that the automation creates.

i mean, i can never quite hate on automation as a concept because obviously the ideal outcome is that we all take up philosophizing badly while drinking wine as a career. but equally obviously in the interim it is commendable for workers to smash the machines to whatever extent is needed.

given massive technological progress we've designed a system where you'll still die unless you constantly work your whole life but now you get a glowing piece of glass and several tons of plastic too

So how do you wake up in the morning and feel well rested? My morning routine is to wake up dead and gradually reanimate through the day. I'm thinking I should just run first thing when I wake up.

If anyone has a link to that Id appreciate it if youd share it w/ me.

If anyone has a link to that Id appreciate it if youd share it w/ me. i dunno about that one but i'm trying to find the one showing that 40 hours a week, 50 weeks a year, is more than people have ever worked in human history, except for the victorian era. that's the point of comparison when people say "well you have it easier than in the old days." the time when an average factory job was 16 hours a day, 6.5 days a week, with no breaks, and the factory doors were chained shut and also you were 8 years old.
