It's ok, the kids learning this stuff these days are on YouTube and Discord.

It's an old meme

https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/i-accidentally

Seems to be MacOS only.

Consider phrasal verbs like "shut up", "get lost" or "kick off". Knowing what the parts mean doesn't let you understand the whole.

In your native tongue you take these for granted, but in a second language you have to learn that the sum is more (or different) than the parts.

I think this is exactly it. I started getting RSI, spent a little time researching, bought a zsa moonlander and it cured me.

I haven't turned it into a hobby, it's just a tool that solves a problem.

I've been using Firefox on android for over a decade, including for YouTube, and maybe once a year I encounter a problem where I need to use Chrome for a specific website.

We could, instead, simply eat beans.

I recommend altSnap to get this functionality on Windows.

Renoise just added support for a programmatic sequence generator called pattrns.

Norway isn't part of the EU.

Probably not.

By coincidence I just listened to the Decoding the Gurus episode on Sabine https://decoding-the-gurus.captivate.fm/episode/sabine-hosse...

I also just finished a four-and-a-half-hour defence of modern physics by Sean Carroll which has some really good counterarguments in it, as well as a whirlwind history of the last century in physics. https://www.preposterousuniverse.com/podcast/2023/07/31/245-...

I am conscious of the irony of responding to this post by posting podcasts.

It was specifically Benn Jordan and Venus Theory who cut their ties.

Polarity has never stopped making Bitwig content and I've learned an absolute ton of stuff from him.

It's really nice to play a scale, come to the octave, slide, and keep on playing the same shape across the higher strings. It's made the fretboard feel a lot more transparent to me.

On guitar in fourths tuning, you only need to learn each interval and chord shape once, compared to multiple permutations in standard tuning. Not sure how much difference this makes over the long run as another poster pointed out, but for me it made the process seem much less overwhelming and motivated me to start learning how to make my own chord voicings, which is something I wouldn't have done in standard tuning.

I haven't played a linear isomorphic keyboard, but I do play guitar with an isomorphic tuning (EADGCF) and I have an Intuitive Instruments Exquis, which is a hex-grid. I feel like melody makes more sense linearly but harmony makes more sense in 2D.

I use all-fourths tuning on guitar (EADGCF) which makes the fretboard isometric.

You lose some idiomatic guitar vocabulary, but if you don't care about that you gain the ability to construct your own chord voicings much more easily, and only need to remember one fingering for each chord instead of three.

I tried to install it recently to a linux container running on proxmox. I gave up after half an hour because it requires a ton of PHP dependencies and there's no instructions or script provided to install them. I guess if you use the docker version it should be easier, but that wasn't an option for me.

Here's a video showing how to use it in the Renoise DAW.

I can't speak for YouTube's specific compression, but since there's less information in low frequency sounds they should compress better than high frequency sounds.

Anecdata: the bass in low bitrate online drum and bass radio in the 2000s always came through cleaner than the mids and treble.

I use pocket all the time to save articles to read on my kobo, which has a pretty good first-party integration in the OS.

I wonder what Rakuten are going to do.

Brett Domino wrote a song about this.

They look hand-drawn to me.

"Literally" has been used for emphasis in this way for hundreds of years.

No other religious text?

Bhagavad-Gita is number 96.

My favourite was "how did I get here?". In walking life a story immediately appears, in the dream you were just kind of always there.

It still works for me, is there something specific you're referring to?

It's not arbitrary. They assign colours in order based on wavelength, so the shortest wavelengths will be bluer and the longest wavelengths will be redder.

Here's a timestamped link to Scott Manley's commentary video where he points out that the yellow glow at the bottom of the booster is the heat shielding behind the engines.
