@kevinrothrock Nothing's impossible for Putin, there is always a way for them to reunite 😅
Wow, is this account real or just automated reposts from elsewhere?

@gemlog I think, in 🇨🇳 you can go to jail for figuring out who Winnie the Pooh is 😂
It's both funny and not.

@thor When I just became unemployed, I have had to see a real girl once every two weeks to continue receiving unemployment benefits. It was fun, at least I had to sober up every now and then 😂

I did try placing a tiny piece of lead on a power plug and putting that into socket when I was young – didn't look good.
But should it really be this bad with this thing? It's like 12V 1,5 amperes or something. Also, hard to believe that these adapters aren't protected against short circuiting 🤔

@tobestewart I don't think it's a war of attrition, you have to fight back 😆

@kravietz
Like I said many times before, in Russia government is brutal, but at least it's also incompetent — I'm not so sure about China.

@useless_idiot

@kravietz
Hard to admit that revanchism is some trait of Russians, but that is exactly what everyone observes now. I don't know how to put it to not make it look like blame shifting, I think that non-free regime always brings out the worst in people, people are not limited to it, but it's always the worst that gets exploited. By analogy that is why I'm rather sceptical about China in this regard — they are just as far from liberal democracy than Russia is, maybe even more so.

@useless_idiot

@kravietz
Interesting theory! I think explaination for that might be more simple than that, focused on short term interests, but might also be way more complex, focused on something long term that we are yet to see. Might even be both — that is the worst part.
But I agree, we can only speculate about what China's game is here.

@useless_idiot

@useless_idiot Yeah, that definitely was a mistake, instead of making 🇨🇳 and 🇷🇺 more democratic, it "tainted" 🇩🇪 and whole 🇪🇺 with it.
I couldn't even imagine the scale of corruption, I was expecting at least what we have now sanction-wise in 2014-15, but no — it go back to business as usual pretty fast.
I bet with 🇨🇳 it's even worse as it's less obvious, they are really good at not being "in your face".

@threat
> but no one is using it
Well, services like Bubble and Station get this problem solved, I think the big turnoff for many was that there was nothing "interactive" on Gemini, no easy way to interact with each other, having standalone capsules and gemlogs felt like foing too far back in time.
But of course it would be even better to have better ways of intercommunication, just to avoid the centralization mistake too.

@threat Yeah, it feels the same way to me, like the web gets re-done, but this time avoiding the mistake we've made the last time. Recent discussion whether ANSI colorcodes should be supported universally looked very encouraging, I hate modern web with every single cell of my body, but even I'm not THAT conservative. With web we were like: "Oh, a marquee tag — lets' add a scrolling line of text everywhere!"
Lesson learned well, we can have anything now, but it doesn't necessarily mean we should😂

@useless_idiot I've never lived in Germany so I only judge by what I see from the outside, but it looks like Merkel's politics got Germany in the wrong in every possible way, but "her legacy" is still not considered something bad.
Then again, who am I to judge, we've got Putin who started the war in Europe and it got to the point when we can't even fix this shit ourselves anymore 😩

@threat Whoah! I've seen even the MIDI-saxophone thing, but not something like this!
No, my basses, even the remaining cheap one, are analogue, MIDI controllers are separate from them. Have both, but don't mix 😁
I still have a four octave keyboard and M-Audio Trigger Finger, and MPC-like drumpad device.

@evelyn Welcome to the Evelyndome!

@re9177 You're right, could as well be an homage. Either way, nothing's wrong with that, it's the best spot for a pointing devices anyway 😄

@re9177 Yes, but on CEC-E it's in its own block on a flat, slightly submerged surface, exactly where you expect touchpad to be on modern kb/touchpad combos. It's amazing how it doesn't look like something from the past at all, more like a modern re-imagination of it.

@threat I have sold all my good bases, except for the most cheap one and most MIDI-controllers. Your thread made me plug this cheap bass in only to realize that one of the mic/instr inputs on the soundcard no longer works as expected — something's wrong with the gain knob, I had to press it upward for the input to work. Now I'm a sad panda 😔

@thor
Space Cadet was nice, but this was WAY more addictive! 🤤

@shadsy
Those vintage Victrolas definitely need a comeback 😆

@misty

@misty Both my Rotel and NAD CD players stopped recognizing CDs so that is probably how I'm going to listen to jazz too pretty soon 😄
