Wilco - The Whole Love (2011)
Il coraggio è una virtù di pochi e i Wilco sono tra questi.
I fan di vecchia data, dopo un primo ascolto rimarranno molto probabilmente spiazzati. The Whole Love abbandonando la strada di Sky Blue Sky (2007) e dell’ultimo Wilco (2011), dimenticando i suoni di Yankee Hotel Foxtrot (2002) e A Ghost Is Born (2004), si inerpica in nuovi territori e...

Il coraggio è una virtù di pochi e i Wilco sono tra questi. I fan di vecchia data, dopo un primo ascolto rimarranno molto probabilmente spiazzati. The Whole Love abbandonando la strada di Sky Blue Sky (2007) e dell’ultimo Wilco (2011), dimenticando i suoni di Yankee Hotel Foxtrot (2002) e A Ghost Is Born (2004), si inerpica in nuovi territori e, questo, non può che far bene. Si perchè, al di la che il disco possa piacere o meno, quello che conta per un gruppo ormai sulla breccia dal 1995 (senza contare la parenesi “Uncle Tupelo” dei primi anni novanta) è il saper rinnovarsi, evitando così la noia del ripetersi. The Whole Love è un ponte, l’inizio probabilmente di un nuovo corso dei Wilco. Non che Jeff Tweedy non sia stato incline a sperimentazioni e a ricerche sonore, anzi, fatto sta che questo ultimo lavoro suona come un manifesto di cambiamento. Un cambiamento che sa di abbandono ai vecchi cliché e di abbraccio a nuove esperienze musicali senza preclusioni di ordine commerciale, non a caso l’album è prodotto proprio da Tweedy... artesuono.blogspot.com/2014/08…

In a First, America Dropped 30,000-Pound Bunker-Busters—But Iran’s Concrete May Be Unbreakable, Scientists Say
Previously, a yield strength of 5,000 pounds per square inch (psi) was enough for concrete to be rated as “high strength,” with the best going up to 10,000 psi. The new UHPC can withstand 40,000 psi or more.The greater strength is achieved by turning concrete into a composite material with the addition of steel or other fibers. These fibers hold the concrete together and prevent cracks from spreading throughout it, negating the brittleness. “Instead of getting a few large cracks in a concrete panel, you get lots of smaller cracks,” says Barnett. “The fibers give it more fracture energy.”

A giugno, tre opere sono state esposte nella stazione ferroviaria di Basilea durante la fiera Art Basel e un'opera è stata esposta nel Museo della Fotografia e Arte di Pechino. Dall'inizio del 2025 e fino alla primavera 2026, inoltre, altre sue opere saranno esposte in diverse gallerie ad Atene, Berlino, Dubai, New York, Palma De Maiorca, Parigi, Venezia, Zugo (Svizzera).
L'artista, inoltre, sarà inserito con una pagina dedicata, nell'Atlante dell'Arte Contemporanea edito dalla Giunti e presentato al "MoMa" di New York, che sarà distribuito alla Biennale di Venezia, alla Fiera del libro di Francoforte e all'Art Basel di Miami, consacrandolo tra i nomi di riferimento dell'arte contemporanea.
Klaus Zambiasi originario di Castiglione delle Stiviere (Mantova), vive e lavora tra la provincia di Bolzano e Bratislava (Slovacchia). Nel 2022 ha esordito sulla scena letteraria con il romanzo autobiografico "Il sorriso della luna", seguito da "3 Il Bacio Rubato" (2023) e "L'appuntamento al calar della sera (2024)". I primi due libri sono stati tradotti anche in tedesco.

Looking for a Safe, Super Open Source (and also cheap if not free) Journaling app. Any Recomendations?
I have already tried DayOne and Journey
Didn't like them Particularly. DayOne seems uncool and even though they claim, a little unsafe. Plus i once before lost all my journal entries in DayOne bcoz i didn't save the encryption keys in my GoogleDrive.
Journey is Worse (my opinion). They keep on pushing me to buy their paid option which costs 4$ per month. Like WTF. Its just a Journaling app.
I am not going to try Penzu because i have heard a lot of bad reviews on how they cheat people and stuff.
Finally i landed on DD-DigitalDiary which isn't open source. Which Sucks. But at least isn't costing me like 50$ a month or anything. Its mostly free. But i am looking or something better.
More specifically OpenSource, Free (or almost free) and idk, modern & sxy
Like when will these huge companies understand. Not everything needs to be VC funded.
Next i am launching my VC funded Venture backed Fried Eggs company

We should've gotten a 4-day work week decades ago. Now it should be a 3-day work week at most and I'm being generous. The capitalists are always screeching about the low birth rate, but if people were working 3 days a week and making a decent living off that time, it would help the birth rate because then a household with two working parents could be scheduled on different days and alternate staying home with the child, plus have a shared day off every week.
Anyway, that's just a selling point to make to the capitalists. Whether or not it helps with the birth rate doesn't matter as much as the fact that we're owed shorter work weeks thanks to all the blood, sweat, and tears that labor has put into making the world as wealthy as it is now. What's the point of all this work if not to improve our standard of living? Technology making our lives better is hitting diminishing returns and now it's often not making our lives better or it's even making our lives worse.
We should've gotten a 4-day work week decades ago
Then you should have burned down Chicago decades ago.
The 5 day work week didn't just happen because workers deserved it. It happened because they went to war.

The [new] venue is considered safer than the medieval former religious school where the party was initially scheduled to be held. It is surrounded by water, making it impossible to reach by land when bridges are raised.
I wonder, if Jeff is a good guy, why is he so scared? If he was a good guy, surely nobody would want to Luigi him (attack and/or murder him) too?
The Tyranny of 'Big Balls' Has Come to an End
Edward Coristine, the 19-year-old given unprecedented access to some of the most private information on Americans, has reportedly quit his role at the so-called Department of Government Efficiency according to Wired. If you don’t remember the name Coristine, you probably remember his nickname, the thing he reportedly told people to call him while he plundered the nation’s data. He went by Big Balls.
Officially, Coristine was an employee of GSA but was working across multiple government agencies, according to Wired. Big Balls was reportedly rooting around in government systems for USAID, the Department of Education, and the Small Business Administration, among others. It’s not clear how much data to which Coristine ultimately got access. Nor do we know what he, or anyone else affiliated with DOGE, has done with it.
Coristine made an infamous appearance on Fox News where he tried to strengthen Musk’s case that the federal government was riddled with waste, fraud, and abuse. But he wound up accidentally revealing that he simply had no idea how anything works. Coristine and Musk seemed to believe that because they didn’t know how various things in the government worked, some kind of nefarious activity had been exposed. But it did nothing of the sort.

in reply to sabreW4K3 • • •The proliferation of illegal IPTV services is a direct result of the fractured streaming and PayTV market. In many European countries you need up to 5 services to follow all your favorite football teams League, Champions league, cup and Nations League (bleh!) games. This can add up to close to 200 Euros per month in countries like the UK or Switzerland.
Additionally, in the UK the only way to watch your teams 3PM match on the telly (as they like to say) is to subscribe to a foreign service illegally as they are blacked out locally and there is no legal way to purchase foreign subscriptions.

But dont dare to make an app that doesnt do the "swoosh", "shaky screen" or otherwise isnt "polished" enough. Its "Go corpo or go home."
I wonder if there is any solution? When will we have extracted enough profit? Should we do 16 hr work days? Maybe then corporate overlords will be happy?

Any anyone that's missing, we have to assume you're in it for the exposure and we're doing you the favor by spreading your expression of free speech while you deal with how you want to fund it.
I didn't commission it so it's not my responsibility to make you whole on this endeavor. Stop pretending we owe you a specific amount of money.
No service was rendered. No service fee should be charged. If you want your content to remain a secret then why did you release it to not a form that can be copied at no cost to you.
I strongly argue that much of what we do around copyright is a violation of the first amendment in a thousand ways.
The fact that you can calculate damages against us is silly. Did I libel you? I recorded some knowledge I was given that was relayed to someone else.
The fact that you've provided something that can be copied perfectly is on you. Doesn't make you a fucking word god. How faulty does our memory need to be before this game of telephone because legal in the eyes of copyright?
Using a magical language doesn't override out right to use our free will to study our encountered world.
It is unjust to restrict us from sharing our findings. This is our free expression. These are chains that no corporate or other person or persons can be trusted to possess as empherial as they may.
Any legal framework that forces us to silence ourselves is crime against our humanity.
The longer you refuse the faster we build a video app that mathematically routes around any that may be constructed. Your imagination may be limited but the laws of mathematics finds a way.
