I don’t juggle my Monkeys as I assume I’d need to reinstall all the scripts.

and here I thought it was the Monkeys doing the juggling…

@UltimateRiff

You don’t mess with these Monkeys. The one that currently looks after my scripts is called “ViolentMonkey”…

[UltimateRiff]

found one while browsing tickets, oh how thin that line is sometimes

@Zastai on MBS-11283
Interesting - Firefox works fine but Edge messes up. Looks like a Chromium bug/feature then.

had to grab this exchange from the weekly IRC meeting notes~

@mr_monkey

Diagnosed an issue with the live API docs for BB (problem was between my computer and my chair it turns out)…

@zas

Last week, I helped @Mr_Monkey to find the issue between the chair and the computer

[UltimateRiff]

man, I’m finding a new one every 4 days, I guess… lol

@sparkinson

For example,

musicbrainz.org

Hespèrion XXI

has been renamed to „Hesperion XXI“ in 2000. I consider it silly to wait until 2025…

@reosarevok

I entered an edit…

@sparkinson

… and it’s applied (FWIW, will the onebox in my post above change to the new name, making it sound like I am mad?).

apparently yes, eventually it will @sparkinson

[UltimateRiff]

@winston79

I won’t be needing powershell anymore

@IvanDobsky

After enough lessons on here, the multi-skilled Picard will also do your cooking and cleaning…

it’s true! I have Picard mow my lawn every few days with this simple taggerscript~

Another goodie from mr. Dobsky:

@IvanDobsky

…in front of a live audience. That kinda the point of an audience, they tend to be living and breathing much of the time.

from a Discord discussion around using ChatGPT to generate artist roasts:

@iolomorganwg: whereas the machines dig metallica because they have an intimate familarity with metals, and are just as bad at writing songs

[UltimateRiff]

sorry for the double post, but I had to share this one too:

@UltimateRiff I just found out about an amazing punk performance, I really hope it’s true, lol
Italian Band Eats Spaghetti On Stage Rather Than Play Music #funfact - YouTube
I might just add it to MusicBrainz…

@lazybookwyrm New instrument

…and yes, I did add it to MusicBrainz… lol

Skiantos at Bologna Rock 1979

edit: …the performance, not the instrument…

more from the Discord server~

@sound.and.vision
im very much “kept in check” with storage myself… which again is ultimately a good thing… no-one wants to read “sound.and.vision lost control of his legs after a pile of 1000 VHS tapes collapsed on him”

@aerozol
What are legs even for

@sound.and.vision
exactly, this chair’s got wheels

@elomatreb I should shave my head because I keep accidentally uploading scans where a loose hair fell on the scanner bed

@teethfairy on haunted typos (source):

@teethfairy

honestly i feel like ive fixed this typo 50 times but it keeps coming back to haunt me. i keep finding it in new places. i don’t even understand how i made it in the first place. i see it in my restless dreams. i wake to find “HEALING FANTSY” carved into my bedroom ceiling. there’s no escape. he will be with me forever.

@Zas: well, we are in the middle of the river right now, and I prefer we reach the shore before the flood…

ChatGPT (j’ai pété)

It took me a moment to get this one

[UltimateRiff]

@chiark

Say what you will about CDs, but can you smear honey on Spotify and it still plays?

@UltimateRiff

Tasty

more gems from the Discord (message link) discussing this remix. (screenshot source)

@UltimateRiff: OOH that’s too good~ I just found a remix of a silent track~

@teethfairy: oooooooh!!

@afrocat: reversed silence what the hell

UltimateRiff: hey, it’s a different recording! there’s artist intent!

teethfairy: well yeah, different studio session, different recording!

afrocat: artists are doing too much man i say we overthrow all artists
no more art

[UltimateRiff]

from MEB-148:

@aerozol: All done, if you go into the design system > brand > logos, you will now see a ‘monochrome’ folder for all projects[…]

@kellnerd: Hmm, am I blind or have you created monochrome versions for all projects except MusicBrainz?

aerozol: Hey, what’s that, look over there! …Oh look, the MusicBrainz monochrome logos are now there and always definitely were there

Thanks David!
