FSF may do a lot of harm to the open-source movement at times, but their insistence on copylefting everything lets me legally extract certain critical binaries from otherwise-proprietary systems and avoid ungodly amounts of effort, so, it’s impossible to say if they’re bad or not

god i love music from the era where game soundtracks had to be sampled that leans into the sampling. who says notes have to have a gradual attack and decay? who says sampled instruments have to even remotely sound like the things they’re sampled from?
