Hi #Fediverse I am tooting to update you on the latest tech of mass #surveillance employed in real life in #China.
1/ when you take a bus and you mostly use Wechat or other methods to pay the fair. The machine on the bus can automatically know whether your #covid test(NAT) result expires or not, and it broadcasts aloud to the whole cart of the bus. (you are not allowed to take bus if your covid test being taken 48 or 72 hrs earlier)
and many local citizens welcome this as this is convenient.
#neurodivergence, #virtual things, and a small plea for consideration...
andante moderato...
So I made this little tune... (I used Logic Pro)... I call it "spring" and it's the latest of several little things I make for my teaching materials. I'd love to hear your thoughts...

Okay so lying in bed listening to music. Tonight Max Richter’s recomposition of #vivaldi four seasons and listening to Spring 1 thinking to myself how absolutely incredible it would have been to be the first orchestra to see and play this, in all its conplexity and beauty. I’m sure I would have been in tears of joy. I am anyway. Really, aren’t human beings so capable of wonders, and isn’t this a reason to try to keep them existing? ❤️ #wonder number 1 (thanks Hans, thanks Antonio)
Quick note before I lay me down to sleep, which I am sure very few peeps will read. The first thing is that The Princess Bride is quite possibly the best movie ever made, and the second is that, whilst I really only ever did the birdsite as social media and nothing else, I am feeling so welcome here. In other words, the #fediverse is not social media at all, just social. And you are all wonderful.
