@bahi0u it ok. how's the bahi0u today?

I quite dislike when people on social media plagiarize other people's posts.

But if you post an image without alt text, I feel it's fair game as long as you acknowledge it was stolen to provide alt text.

@amadeus what you just mentioned in terms of focus, seem to be the golden tip for me.

I think this is what I have overlooked. I have not always been aware of where my focus was, and therefore my short cuts didn't always work.

I think that's a really important tip for people who switch to Bitwig.

@404mediaco Isn't the whole point of AI to reverse engineering stuff, that other people have made or written?

Hey, just checking.

If you're in Canada, could you access https://www.senate.gov or https://www.warren.senate.gov and tell me if you see this page or if you see the actual websites?

this is a serial terminal from ~1995 and is actually an ADDS 3153 OEM, IBM didn't even make them anymore lol

can emu a buncha stuff but seems to work best in linux if you tell it its a vt220

then arrow keys and page up work properly

i have one more reason to get that Netronics ELF II running 🤔

@Gargron @juandesant It's high pressure sodium that are the problem, right? Low pressure sodium lights are great for astronomy (unless you are studying sodium in stars, maybe that's what you do?)

I am not pretending their aren’t leftist idiots here, I am pointing out the unhealthy weird obsession some people have in this place with hating on them.

I had to laugh when you mentioned Linux as if it’s a requirement to use the Fediverse. It’s funny how everyone here loves Linux (including me).

I just wanted to say I'm still working on answering all the questions you guys gave me for #AskAConservator day the other week: you're all genuinely wonderful, thank you for your curiosity!

(And you can still ask me stuff, of course.)

birb...

It reminds me a little of the old internet. I like how relatively small it feels, and that people post content for the sake of the content, not to promote themselves. I haven’t found my usual corners yet, the ones I used to hang out in on older platforms, but I figure that’s just a matter of time. I’m not super nostalgic for the old internet or anything, but it’s nice to find at least a hint of something human-centered somewhere.

I hope it doesn’t fall apart and that it keeps growing.

I was skeptical when I switched to Linux, but then I ditched Windows on my dual boot for good. It was a hugely positive experience, and it really felt like freedom. I’m hoping this will be the same.

And don’t be mad at me if I act totally clueless here sometimes 'cause all that is new to me.

Welcome! It’s cozy here :-)

Except for the centrists and conservatives here who are terminally obsessed with tankies who feel the need to warn everyone in every single “I am new” post.

Stop

@Gargron even worse than street lamps are the advertising signs glaring all night long. I hate them!

@jalefkowit
There's an ideological slant, too. Sorry to plug-bomb, Jason; but I did address this one in my latest piece so if you'll indulge me...

I love it too. I really feel that this will be the future of the internet. Public non-commercial spaces to just interact. That’s what i love the internet for.

The incentive structures of the major platforms made me feel awful before i understood what made them so grating. I thought i hated social media but what i really hated was attention media.

I also have a sort of fetish for minimal utilitarian design that lemmy specifically scratches. It just feels and looks so good. The interface exists purely for what it is supposed to do and nothing more.

Warm welcome! It’s nice to have such a place to read about topics you like and get help when needed.

Also most people here are really friendly despite a few less friendly ones.

Enjoy and try to support if you can!

@cwebber It was very good and a *lot* more violent than I was expecting. I can see why it's not for young kids.

That studio has done several amazing stop-motion films in recent years, including Kubo and the Two Strings. It's one of my favorites, I highly recommend it. :3
