Two pop art - style works made by my friend Wassana, she has a studio & gallery a few towns over from me & has been producing lots of awesome stuff for many years. Msg me if interested in either of these ~
Summer is near, says my #synthesizer.
The overheating problem of my #Roland #JDXA is back. I put in a miniature amateur heat sink and later even a fan. Doesn't help 100%. When it overheats, da AD section between the analog synth parts and the FX go crazy, producing 0dBFS noise.
I really don't know what to do now, except for replacing the digital board… which might be an expensive thing to do. And even worse, it won't be a sustainable fix, because the new board will be broken by design the very same way. Unfortunately, the JD-XA has become my work horse for a specific music project I play in – live.
Photo shows a “heat sink” to some kind of power supply / voltage regulator chip that does weird stuff when too hot and then the 4ch AD chip goes mad.
Would do #fedihelp #electronics #nerds think? Is there a non-SMD-replacement to that regulator that I could fit in and mount it somewhere else, perhaps on piece of metal?
Oh dear, #Apple has done the unthinkable and swapped rsync for #openrsync on #macOS Sequoia. 
Don't worry, #Unix #nerds, your world will still spin, albeit in slightly different syntactic circles. 
Meanwhile, millions of Mac users are blissfully unaware and continue synchronizing files using Safari.

@ajsadauskas @JessTheUnstill @tomiahonen yes, and to add insult to injury #Mozilla didn't even wanted to sell people like @fuchsiii or me a #FirefoxOS device, with the only one being "launched" in the #EU being a #SimLock'd & #NetLock'd #prepaid phone in #Spain one could only attain in-store with all the "#KYC" nonsense they had, demanding a legal address in Spain back then.
- So whilst Firefox OS had the most "#accessible" #Development #tools (literally using #Firefox for it and having every #App as #WebView|s / #HTML5+#JS5+#CSS3 files in a container), they didn't even sold us said devices, making it a worse flop than #UbuntuTouch which at least still gets some devices made that support it...
And #nerds like myself are far from the "#consoomer #Normies" for whom stuff that isn't on shelves at Staturn/MediaMarkt, BestBuy, Walmart, ... doesn't exist. I'm used to importing #tech that I want!
- Feels even more half-assed than #MobileCoin in hindsight…
Look, someone finally noticed that #LaTeX, the darling of #math #nerds and philosophers, only spits out PDFs—because who really needs #accessibility in #academia, right? 
Apparently, the answer to making #textbooks more accessible isn't to use a different tool, but to whine about it while clinging to the past like it's a beloved old sweater.

The answer was John Diefenbaker in 1958 and Brian Mulroney in 1984!
Now the question might be... can Mark Carney be the first Liberal Party Prime Minister since WWII to achieve 50%?
#CPPotD *WITHOUT CONSULTING WIKI* :+)
Pick the last Federal election(s) in Canada where the winning party received 50% or better of the popular vote?
Why do I ask? An Ekos poll that polled people on March 23 had sentiment at: LPC 50% CPC 35% NDP 7% Bloc 4% GPC 2%
