Hm. I use it for anything, looping stuff, streams, entire album play, playlists, even audio books before I found maBooks

I work them, so I never just go and attend them - the experience is so much better when you're "in". I love the interaction, quite love the babysitting part of it even.
Also when I enjoy it, I will tell them & and it always work because artists know that if the local tech found them good, that same dude who see so much stuff day-in, day-out, it (probably) means something.
You meet jerks, of course. You learn to provide them with minimal service, but clean and decent for the public. You meet fantastic people who fail to make it through to the audience, and that's heartbreaking. You learn to put 200% of yourself into a musical style you don't enjoy because the dudes on stage are killing it and the audience is loving it - who cares if Jazz Manouche is the most boring, written down and set in stone style ever.
My most stupid interaction was, at the end of a programme that included both Chopin and Steve Reich, to tell the Reich' piece clarinetist "sometimes, Chopin is boring. Especially in regard to Reich". The Guy was in agreement lol.

In all the conversation, the one thing I didn't read about was how good it is to have a laid-back, "nonthreatening" logo. People talk about history, brand, happenstance whatever but not on the positive aspects of having a cartoonish emblem that doesn't scream "I'm serious" or "I'm valid".

It's cute to see the massive amount of "take care of yourself! Your health is more important than work!" on Mastodon, but I feel it is completely beside the point.
I bought my m mac because of the Asahi project ; I wouldn't buy it today because of ~apple current stance~ gulf of what exactly?
