hello and today is Saturday, August 29, 2026 and it looks like you can now download Ubuntu 26.04.1 LTS. you can upgrade from 24.04.4 LTS right now, if you even want to. Ubuntu 26.04.1 LTS includes bug fixes and security patches, making your computer more secure. package upgrades are included, too. oh and you have to apt update && apt dist-upgrade if you upgrade from 26.04 LTS or apt update && do-release-upgrade -y if you upgrade from 24.04.x LTS
I realized that for the most part, I don't do anything because I know that at some point, I'll realize that this wasn't what I wanted to spend my life on, and when I do, I'll find 100 and 1 ways to hurt myself by doing what I've been doing.
I am the aggressor. Again. I have no choice but to do as the voice commands and destroy the frail man that stands “defiantly” in my path with my sword.
Under a tree in a faraway field Lies a man, waiting for someone whom to yield Yet nobody comes, to this young man For he's always giving, never one to yield
I'm still a big fan of the timeloop paradox where you, take an idea from now, go back in time, and then use that information to invent the idea first.
For example, you find a ball, take it back in time, then place this ball where your future self found it. Even though every action has an actual explanation in that loop (you found the ball cause you placed it there; and you had the ball cause you found it), where did the ball come from? 😅
Sad you think this way, cause only the voice is AI generated in a monotone way. The lyrics are written by me after actual situations and things I said at one point to my girlfriend after we almost ended.
The music is actually composed separately by sampling a baseline. I then use the AI voice like a vocaloid, programming my synthesizer to play it word for word as I use keys that will play the words and the intonation and actual "singing" is a result of which key I use to do so. I have 3 extra keys for screaming, whispering and lengthening the words played, along to more samples I used in the baseline programmed to the right side of my keyboard and this create my final result playing on my synthesizer adding to the baseline.
So none of your input is even close to correct and you're just spewing anti AI rage to the wrong person.
If anything, I hate AI slop just as much, cause it's what makes people assume wrongly I just did a prompt, while I actually put time and effort in every song.
AI slop. You want to know what truly separates us from the rest of the animals? Our ability to make art. Our ability to suffer and put that vision in poetry and paint to make another person truly feel or sit with what we feel. You can feel the sadness about the reality of war in The Cranberries' Zombie. You can feel the strangeness and ever changing yet steady flow of life in The Talking Heads' Same As It Ever Was.
When I hear AI generated music I feel disappointed. It tells me that an unskilled person has made the choice to refuse failure and learning. You'd rather have a computer do the work for you than attempt the possible: making me feel eager to learn the meaning in your words and the feeling in your sound. I've found songs I enjoyed from musicians I thought were terrible.
We have so little time in our lives. For your own sake, dedicate it to the pursuit of passion and love, not convienence.
Anyway, I might have ended an 8 year relationship with the love of my life and I don't know if I can get through this. It was bound to happen eventually, but I kept hoping it didn't have to come to be...
Fuck me for investing my whole future in that girl...
