I've been doing a lot of thinking/reading/listening about music recently. Not enough doing, but I learned some key things:

1. Transcribe and analyze songs you like so you can steal their secret sauce

2. Chords are relative to a key

3. You don't have to use cadences, you can literally do any chord progression you like

@MutoShack to be fair, practically no one pronounces that r

@dthompson should have done it years ago

@eatsshootsknits but for me it's because I live in smaller towns and all my interests are incredibly nerdy.

@eatsshootsknits I am relating a lot to the frustration with there being nowhere to go. I don't think I've ever lived somewhere that provided that though.

@monorail @fribbledom is that a tally Hall reference I see?

@dthompson if I remember correctly arm is a better low power solution. Battery powered devices can get a lot more time from an arm based processor. It's not as much of a concern for wall powered devices

@dthompson why arm? It would take a lot of effort to match the actual gaming performance of x86_64 with arm from what I know.

@MutoShack @loke huh, interesting. I like both Galaxy and Sunshine, wasn't aware there was a split among thr canvases like that

For me it mostly stems from a worry that the collected information will be used for witch-hunts in a possible future where the US has fully fallen to a fascist regime. I recognize that most people will find this to be a stretch, but it's a vague fear I've always had.

What prompted me to start listening was a coworker bringing up the Oculus Quest 2. I pointed out that it required a Facebook account, and he was entirely unconcerned. I had known he wouldn't care, but it really got to me how little people value their privacy. I realized I didn't have any good arguments for why he should value his privacy.

Listening to 1984 for the first time. There are definitely worrying parallels to our modern world. It is the social issues that I find most worrying, even though we have technology far more powerful than what is presented in 1984. I'm almost halfway through, I'm very curious about how the book will end.

@Mopsi @fribbledom Isopropyl Alcohol, presumably

@trebach@tilde.zone @jazzyeagle @stragu and another!

@fribbledom @jazzyeagle I guess I'm using nightly. The search bar only moves to the top of the keyboard in that

@fribbledom maybe I'm just missing something but I've had none of these issues?

@postmarketOS Cool, glad I already ordered.
