Mostly extreme metal, moreso since going back to college, but I also like post-rock, shoegaze, and classical amongst other things. Try this out for size.

Yeah because we would definitely be motivated to manufacture fucking Hellfire missiles and landmines without the pressures of global capitalism… /s

Like I get it, getting rid of the defense industry ≠ getting rid of war, but it would be a much more daunting task to wage war if we didn’t have fucking weapons factories.

The entire defense industry.

Not yet, but I will when I get a job. I want to give back to the community, but I can’t afford it right now.

Sponsorblock supports Invidious. Go into the Sponsorblock settings under Misc and enable it. You might have to add an instance’s URL (on the same settings page).

In your Invidious local settings, there should be a “Feed Menu” setting. This allows you to choose which tabs appear on your local homepage. (If you have an account, then these settings are for your account and should persistent anywhere you log in.) You should be able to choose “Popular” or “Trending” as one or more of your tabs.

For FreeTube, you can copy the link from your browser (from YouTube or any Invidious instances at least) and paste it into FreeTube’s search bar, and it will go directly to the desired video. If you use Firefox, Privacy Redirect has a setting (under Advanced Settings --> Invidious) to redirect all YouTube requests to FreeTube. You would have to turn the plugin off to search, then turn it on when you want to use it.

FreeTube currently has two sections “Most Popular” and “Trending” that fetch content from creators I haven’t subscribed to.

Hope this helps.

1. Violin so I can play sick violin solos over metal music.
2. Drums so I can play blast beats all day in literally every local metal band.
3. Saxophone so I can do this.

You don’t need a physical keyboard to use MIDI technology. Many audio production programs have a virtual keyboard that will let you play basic stuff with your computer keyboard. However, I sequenced my entire metal album’s drum track by just clicking and dragging all the notes in the editor. (Not gonna post it because I don’t want to dox myself.) You can get Ardour (which can sequence MIDI amongst other things) for free through your Linux distribution, and I believe it can be found for Windows. Else, Reaper is technically not free, but you can use the demo for as long as you want.

All of this is to say that you don’t need any training or equipment to start playing electronic music, particularly that using MIDI technology. A couple hours here and there will be enough to start producing competent music.

Oof ouch my eyeballs

Connect for Lemmy has that feature.

PM_ME_VINTAGE_30S, 1 year ago

I’m not a Connect dev and the app is not open source yet, so I can’t quantitatively give you an answer. As a user, it’s been working fine for me on all feeds.

I recommend posting something in the Connect for Lemmy community. If a feature is broken, the dev probably wants to hear about it.

Ruin it yourself

Way ahead of you.

Excuse me but we’re on Lemmy, we don’t do that here.

This is probably just a use of different words to not sound repetitive.

Then the BBC could have said something like “More than 500 people were slain in Gaza.” They should have used a word that implies that the more than 500 people were actively put to death somehow, like killed or slain.

Keep in mind that the BBC are journalists; they literally do this for a living. Even if it was an innocent mistake, which I 1000% do not believe it is, it would still be an egregious fuck-up. But we know it’s not a fuck-up…
