Told my manager I simply wouldn't use it and why and he gave me permission to use the webapp on the company issued laptops.
Last thing I need is my manager seeing me traversing the city drunk at 2am or whatever. I'm not on their time so whatever I'm doing is none of their business.
Even that type of flower as a hand tattoo isn't very common.
All that to say I think they're both conveying similar pitch information and take a similar amount of effort to ready correctly. Piano roll doesn't convey rhythmic information and that's where I think piano roll falls short as a method of straight notation.
Different people have different threat models and I think asking for a phone number for the reasons posted above is acceptable for most people.
No one is saying they were hacked this way but it definitely can be used as fodder to bolster election fraud claims (real or imagined.)
Looking at this dump, it appears to just be URLS. If the site doesn't exist anymore than the URLs point to nothing.
What's actually exposed? What am I missing here?
Any time something like this comes out it reminds me, especially during the holiday to season, to reach out intentionally to people I care about and make sure they know I've got their back.
Just last week I did some sleuthing and found out an old friend had been incarcerated for 15 years for a drink driving crash that killed someone. I knew his family life was a mess and even though we hadn't talked in 10+ years I wrote him a letter to let him know someone was at least thinking about him.
Whatever happened to this guy his story reminds us to take care of each other.
If I'm a shop and I want to deal Fender guitars, I have to sign a dealer agreement which says that I agree to buy $x worth of apparel, parts, guitars I don't want because I don't think I can sell them etc on top of the sometimes unreasonable numbers of guitars/amps they also make you buy.
The companies have all the control and they know it. A lot of brands are also making you pay a separate fee to be able to sell online and most absolutely prohibit you as a US dealer from shipping overseas.
All of these things + operating costs make the margins at your average local music shop very very slim. I ran one of the best shops in the world and we still struggled with this kinda stuff.
I've been in high end music retail for several years and even the big name stars we deal with are buying primarily combo tube amps in the 40w range.
