Which Side Are You On - Dropkick Murphys

quote [ In solidarity for Wisconsin !

Lyrics :
Our father was a union man
some day i'll be one too.
The bosses fired daddy
what's our family gonna do?

Come all you good workers,
Good news to you I'll tell
Of how the good old union
Has come in here to dwell.

CHORUS:
Which side are you on?
Which side are you on? (x2) ]

Happy May Day!

Lay off staff to free cash for AI

quote [ In an interview on the Verge’s “Decoder” podcast published Monday, Dropbox CEO Drew Houston mounted a zealous argument for the importance of AI while defending his company’s 500-worker layoff in April 2023. The two things are linked, he said, noting that Dropbox’s layoff was largely aimed at freeing up cash to hire more engineers who are skilled in AI. ]

Ah well, at least they explain their reasoning.

A Brief Compendium of Lost Albums, Stolen Songs and Unreleased Music

quote [ If there is anything that can make a strident music fan salivate in anticipation, it’s the idea of an unreleased track or lost album from a favourite band. It’s like catnip for the musicologist and can become like a biblical quest for a lost chalice of sound for the collector of rare grooves and scrapped singles. ]

OpenOrb

quote [ OpenOrb is a curated search engine for Atom and RSS feeds. ]

Builds a little search index on the feeds you want to scrape. The example page leans heavily onto programmers but you could set one up on your own computer by running a lovely little set of Python commands.
