worldbuilding thought 

thinking of what music by alien species would be like and honestly, I figure the main differences from what you find here on Earth would be more in the rhythmical and instrumentation (or if electronic, sound design) department than harmony per se

there's only so many combinations of chords you can smash together that'll sound right even if you consider differences in the theory behind it all and plenty of music here on Earth doesn't use chords, period

meta question 

one thing I'm currently missing from Tusky is the ability to just leave it running while I'm asleep, then being able to scroll up through everything I missed without having to reopen the app, start from the most recent posts and be stopped by the API a few hours down

are there any apps for Android that support that?

I've gone ahead and create a video tutorial that should help folks get to grips with all of this platform's particulars:

with that out of the way, time to make a shorter cut along with it for folks who don't feel like listening to 8 minutes of IDMey post-synthwave at a time, along with some bonus beats maybe and then I'll drop it here in a big ol' zip file probably since I can't be fucked making a bandcamp page right away

l-l-l-l-look at you, hacker. a pa-pa-pathetic creature of meat and bone. panting and sweating as you r-r-run through my corridors. how can you challenge a perfect, immortal machine?

The spacecraft function (semiotic) symbols for the movie Alien and subsequent series, designed by Ron Cobb

It's amazing how these are clearly distinct at a distance and easy to remember
