I'd argue that if you've never longed for automations, it's because you've never written a hard score. Any ambitious piece written at the churn pace that a composer needs to make a living - any such piece uses algorithm

Using vim to edit large dictionary files. I forked a steno dictionary for Plover, and edited its 300k entries in vim. I've ben using regex daily since then.

The real reason is because we tune instruments differently. Anything about "why would you want to be a copy cat of Bach?" is just non-sense - musicians have been copy-catting each other endlessly since music existed, and still do

The shocking thing about Spotify's UI was that it was never modeled to be a record collection or a record store. It was always modeled to be a database front end. The ui design and the business model always reflected that prerogative:

If you're OK with switching from gapps, a de-Googled android works just fine. I've had to keep a spare googled-android around for the rare occasions I need to use lyft and Uber. That's it.

Checking in with USG before publishing leaks is actually fairly standard procedure in order to avoid operatives on foreign soil being endangered. Wikileaks did so at everyone of the major releases they did in conjunction with NYT, WSJ, spi
