I WISH signal was ubiquitous. Half of my friends are still using Facebook Messenger so I still have to resort to using SMS for them

The initial investment can be steep, but if you stick with buying second hand modules and look for deals, it’s easier. Plus the spending only really goes down over time, at a certain point you realize you have all the modules you need, and you find yourself only buying a module or 2 a year.

Also modular stuff holds its value really well. If you buy second hand, you can basically sell a piece of gear for what you paid for it, so if you get something you don’t love, you don’t lose much.

Having said that, cardinal and vcv rack is great, vcv rack is where I started and I used that for a few years before taking the plunge

My modular synthesizer.

I love it and I’ve poured far to much money into it for something that doesn’t come close to the power of making music in a DAW. But I do love it, and it can do some cool stuff that I’ve not been able to reproduce in a DAW - like random triggers and probability. It’s also nice to get away from my computer.

If you think an AI can do those things almost as good as a human, you should find more capable humans to hang out with

I have quite an extensive history of scraping web sites for various data over the years, I’d be happy to help you out but I can’t really know how to help without knowing what website your trying to scrape, different sites have their own challenges (maybe behind a login, or using JavaScript to load content - in which case a http response won’t give you what you’re after, or any number of things really).

If you give me a link to a book you want to download as an example I can take a look and help guide you through it

Madly jealous that you have grocery stores open this late. Where I am they close at 9pm on weekdays, 5pm on weekends

This is fascinating because I got a BRI of 1.9 and it’s saying I’m in the healthy zone. So I don’t really know what to believe here

Our just play games on Linux. Wine/proton is shockingly good. I’ve never had an issue

Reaper works great on mint. Plus yabridge to use your windows plugins.

Haven’t looked much into the breach, but probably the biggest issue is passwords. If unencrypted, and a user uses the same generic password for their email or bank or whatever, that possess a serious concern.

This highlights the importance of not reusing passwords

Edit: looks like passwords were hashed with bcrypt, which is really quite excellent. Very unlikely anybody is getting actual passwords from this leak.

A John Digweed mix is perfect for me and ticks all the boxes

• No lyrics
• Lasts for hours
• Never gets too repetitive, changes over time
• No starting/stopping between songs.

I’ve done my best work to his live in Cordoba mix

Completely depends on if your parents are in your life, if they’re good people and treat you with love and respect.

Also depends on your parents financial status, as well as your financial status.

Most people my age (Millenial) are not as well off as our parents so it wouldn’t make sense to support them.

There is no single answer to your question other than “it depends”

Around $400 a month in winter, $100 a month in summer. Australia has the most expensive power in the world

Everytime I want to do something that I can only do in windows, I really have to consider if it’s worth dealing with windows to do it.

I think having a single app that does that would be very inefficient compared to having an app like the one you’re probably using, that can be configured to do exactly what you want.

Art gallery followed by some lunch, then visit a record store.

This way you get to know the person’s tastes in art and you can judge if you’re compatible. If they don’t like the art you like it’s probably not a good fit. If they pick up a Taylor Swift album I know it’s not gonna work.

I think a person’s taste in art is a very good indicator. And if they’re not really into art or music then they’re not a good match

I use my headphone jack daily. It’s nice to see there are still (albeit very few) manufacturers providing this

Totally in the same boat. Less diversity and less content, but I don’t mind that. I like that I can can run out of content and it’s a nice reminder I’ve probably been on my phone too much and should do something else with my time. Using Lemmy feels healthier than using Reddit.
