Yeah, some folks don't get sarcasm, huh?

Will people please stop using lazy as a synonym for bad writing?

There are so many reasons why someone might be bad at writing and many of them are far from "lazy".

If there's in thing about us lazy folk, it is being able to write as concisely as possible to conserve energy.

Not only is the use of "lazy" rude it is uninformed.

And will people please stop using "uninformed" as a synonym for people who aren't very smart.

There are so many reasons why...

Just realised I'm old enough to have seen this go through three cycles of internet memes.

It should have a sign on it like "est. 2002" or something.

[-] adam_y@lemmy.world 0 points 4 days ago

Yeah, and fractions of that stone? Pounds.

So like 10 stone 5 pounds.

Or, conversely, just switch to Linux.

Take an hour or so to have a look around the place.

Go on the internet if you have any questions.

People are smarter than you assume and if you want Linux to grow in popularity we need to stop pretending any if this is difficult.

[-] adam_y@lemmy.world 25 points 4 days ago

I think some folk want to pretend using Linux is hard so that they can feel more... Uh... Technical for using it.

You know we use pounds as a weight measurement too, right?

Some countries use imperial measurements, others metric, but the UK enjoys both.

Oof, look at the replies of all the Elon fans. They just can't take it.

[-] adam_y@lemmy.world 8 points 6 days ago

Yeah, where is the source for your claim?

Links now.

You have something against kids snorting tampons?

What sort of narc are you?!?

[-] adam_y@lemmy.world 53 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

Like, are you snorting tampons in there, boys? You getting high? Maybe you are turning gay on them, I don't know, but I do know I don't like it.

... "Forced". Lol.

When I use the internet to learn, I don't want to have to spend 2 minutes watching an advert, then try to decipher an accent I can barely understand whilst a 15 year old speed runs the task whilst seemingly skipping crucial steps in a video.

I want the steps written down. Maybe with diagrams.

I'm old. Learning is hard enough.

Sometimes it is best to look up.

I'm calling this 'West Coast Main Line' after the section of rail that passes through where I live.

Again, I'm using the Pro-1, a Volca Keys and an Uno Synth. This time a Model:Samples is playing a looped section.

I'm looking here about recreating the rhythm of rail using a phasing technique.

There's a bandcamp version too, where the track is free to download, if you prefer.

As before, please feel free to share any of your experiments too.

A day at the beach (lemmy.world)

Hello, long time listener, first time caller...

I just wanted to say hi. I'm very much interested in the grain, the unplanned and the documentary when it comes to analogue photography.

This one was shot on fomapan 400 and an Optima 335 that I've had in my jacket pocket for a while.

Hello!

I though you might like the more nerdier details about this track.

The equipment is a Pro-1, an Uno Synth and a Volca Keys (set to octave). All running through a Behringer xenyx and recorded on a tascam dp 006.

I used an Sq-64 for the sequencing, which was a steep learning curve but I think it came out ok.

In terms of the music I was particularly interested in timbrality changes and phasing as well as emergent patterns. I'd planned for the piece to be around an hour long, but it came to a natural conclusion at the 21 minute mark and I went with that.

There's also a version on YouTube here, where I used the recorded midi output to create an animation. It was a bit of an afterthought, but I think it might make some great and complex visuals down the line as a technique.

Ok, thank you for your time.
