The bear name for those stars predates the ancient Greeks.

There's no known origin. It's present in languages of people that were separated at least 13000 years ago.

It is as if one day you're in the mall, and you feel a little hungry for tikka masala, but your friend who is an absolute legend and your brother, asks if you want chicken tandoori instead and you say "haan let us eat it"

I wonder if Putin's piss tapes are also mixed into this or if it's the same thing.

Hvis folk lever længere, så køber de også ind hos købmanden længere.

Botilbud bliver kørt ret stramt økonomisk.

Jeg tror det er spørgsmål om at de ikke har råd til at betale tillæg for overarbejde udover normen. Det er billigere for dem at bruge en anden til de samme timer fordi vedkommende så kun skal have sin almindelige timeløn, hvor du koster det dobbelte. Det kan afdelingslederen ikke give fordi de så mangler pengene til at dække timer på et andet tidspunkt og dermed ikke kan opfylde deres forpligtelse overfor brugerne.

De (din chef) sidder som en lus mellem to negle på den måde. Helt kort eksempel: De modtager penge til at dække 8 timer med pædagog løn for en borger, og så kan de ikke udbetale 16 timer til dig.

Hvis du brænder for faget og ønsker at fortsætte i flere år, så bør du tage uddannelsen for at få en bedre løn.

Nattevagt giver også bedre, men der vil du også ramme ind i lovgivning om hviletid som kan forhindre dig i at knokle løs.

The petty theft of the FIFA medals is also a pretty clear sign of dementia. It's classic dementia behavior and it would be overanalyzing to call it anything else.

I wonder if there are more assholes than normal people, so that it only seems that assholes are more successful in dating because there are simply more of them.

The meme is referencing Plato, so I'd say it was originally his idea.

Who?

And forgive my European ignorance, but don't they have alternates in such cases?

Otherwise it would be really easy to replace the entire government using only a Smith and Wesson or a combine harvester or similar or all together.

We did that in Denmark this year, cutting a holiday.

It turns out the whole thing was a calculator mistake, and also, the same faulty calculator was wrong about needing it in the first place.

hair plugs that admittedly look pretty good.

Nah, it also doesn't fool anyone. it looks like a toupee, except that he can't take it off.

Yeah the picture doesn't really present the issue. The 60% livestock isn't comparable to wild life. It's much worse than that.

I could also say that 100% of bricks are man made and there are no wild bricks.

Similarly, live stock is a product, that shouldn't and wouldn't exist in the first place. It does not represent animals in a way that is comparable to wild life that have full lives.

The 60% livestock does not live long happy lives. It's constantly being replaced by new livestock.

So sure at any given moment there might be 60% mass of animals classified as livestock, but if we were to count the actual number of animals over a year, it would be closer to 100%.

 
 

I recently got fed up with spending hours making my MIDI devices work in Windows. Everytime I plugged the USB hub with my controllers into Windows, it would reassign the ports and I'd have to use the ancient Korg utility to remove dead ports. This is a really old issue that Microsoft claims was fixed ten years ago, but never was. So I decided to test if Linux can handle MIDI devices better.

It seemed to work fine on an old Mint laptop that I have around, but since I'd rather use the newer laptop and since I still need Windows on that for work, I decided to try out putting everything on a USB stick for portability. Also, the old laptop which I might use sometimes is a bit too slow for Mint, so I needed something smaller.

So, the idea is to put the OS, the DAW, the plug-ins and samples on one single stick. I happened to have a 8gb USB that I found on a parking lot. It's kinda dirty and broken, so I figured it was perfect for the experiment. Yes, I do know that flash drives aren't good for this, and when I'm done playing around, I will probably get an external SSD for this purpose instead.

8gb is not a lot for this, but I like the challenge.

At first I wasted another evening trying to make Slax boot. I gave up and found Poppy Linux instead, since I do want the tiny and persistent kind of installation. It's a bit slow to boot into ram, but it's nice and quick once at the desktop.

For a DAW I got Reaper working just fine simply by extracting the files from the official webpage. No install required.

It recognized my MIDI devices and audio interface instantly. No issues at all, no missing dependencies or drivers or whatever, and better yet: It's still works after rebooting. I made a setup of the devices to control mixer actions in Reaper and that also saves fine as expected.

Now getting plugins is a bit of an issue. It seems that most people run Wine to use VSTs, but I decided to stick with free native Linux plugins and those are somewhat more difficult to find.

So far I've found Helm for a synth and LSP for a samples. I plan on recording real instruments mostly, so I only need the essential stuff.

I was pleasantly surprised that the linux download for LSP also ships with a bunch of effect plug-ins. Highly recommended: https://lsp-plug.in/index.php

I have yet to make any music other than test tracks, but it seems that my idea works so far. The installation is completely independent of which computer I have available, so I guess I will be using Linux in one way or the other to make music going forwards.

 

I get notifications on new messages that don't show in the inbox, and mark as read doesn't clear the message from unread.

Manually switching from all/unread seems to work and clears the read messages

Lemmy's årlige "place" er begyndt, hvis I har lyst til at deltage. Jeg har dårligt tid i år, men et par pixels skal der nok blive tid til. Reglerne er vist ligesom sidste år.

How do I best view tabs from pages like ultimate guitar and others on a phone browser, so that the chords and lyrics match up? I know on pc they usually show up fine in notepad or with ASCII fixed sys font, but I can't quite figure out how to set it up for easy browsing on an android phone. I tried copying it to other apps but none of them have a fixed width font.

How do you do it?
