@mlyoung.tech.lgbt.ap.brid.gyGoing to a metal concert this evening and sitting on the metro The guy across from me is wearing a Trivium shirt and I'm wearing Lamb of God. I look at him and he looks at me, we both smile and exchange nods of approval Such a wholesome interaction :blobcat:
@mlyoung.tech.lgbt.ap.brid.gy@wingo I know Hanlon's razor, but my genuine and sincere belief is that they do this as some baffling DRM scheme.

@mlyoung.tech.lgbt.ap.brid.gyupdate to the whole mosquito tone sonic weapon in Sydney situation: I wrote an email to the government 🙀🙀 with the location I observed it and the spectral analysis. Hopefully they will reply and I'll publish their response to my questions, if not, I guess I'll file an FOIA request or something […]

@mlyoung.tech.lgbt.ap.brid.gyhere is also the original recording to see for yourself :blobhaj_headphones: I may contact the venue in question and see what their justification for this type of device is :/
@mlyoung.tech.lgbt.ap.brid.gyVery disappointing to see an anti-loitering tone/"Mosquito" tone in use in the wild; at the Cutaway in Barangaroo, Sydney.
This kind of indiscriminate acoustic weapon should have no place in an entertainment district like Barangaroo, no matter what time of day it […]

@mlyoung.tech.lgbt.ap.brid.gy[thinking and philosophising] And finally 3: Valuing handmade and hand-engineered things more, and doing things the old-school way. I now make a concerted effort to do things the like, old-school way. In my research I print off and highlight all my papers and read them cover to cover. I borrow […]
@mlyoung.tech.lgbt.ap.brid.gy[thinking and philosophising] I was inspired by a comment I saw and I think there are actually a few _good_ things that have come out of this AI apocalypse for my mindset, or things that I'm trying to focus on: 1. Takings things slow. Not everything needs to be done _right fucking now._ Not […]
@mlyoung.tech.lgbt.ap.brid.gyNew blog post! https://mlyoung.cool/blog/macquarie_asrs/
In this article, I have a look at (read: gush over) Macquarie University's Automated Storage and Retrieval System (ASRS) based on a tour I did last month. I try to analyse the system as deeply as I can. There is then also a small […]
