Why is it called a U turn and not an n turn by sentient_loom in c/nostupidquestions@lemmy.world

[-] sentient_loom@kbin.social 6 points 1 year ago

Why would it be an n-turn? The n shape suggests you back up before turning. The capital U asserts that you simply turn. That's how I've always done it.

Today in Montreal it was beautiful and blue and fresh. I hope it stays that way. I want to keep my lungs and our forests.

It depends. If they can still be funny then go for it.

Choosing a Linux Distro for Audio Production on an x380 Yoga (kbin.social)

submitted 1 year ago by sentient_loom@kbin.social to c/linux@kbin.social

6 comments fedilink

Hello.

So I got a used x380 Yoga (i7-8550U and 16GB RAM) and I'm planning to use it for electronic music production. I like the touch screen for working with the piano roll, though I'll probably also connect an external monitor.

I'm probably going to install either Ubuntu Studio or Mint with the Ubuntu Studio Controls package. Either one of these will serve my purposes.

But can a 5-year-old laptop run Ubuntu Studio and a DAW? I will plug in a USB audio interface, so that will take some of the load off the processor. And 16GB of RAM should be enough (that's the max RAM on these machines, and it's soldered anyway). But I've heard that Ubuntu is more resource intensive than Mint.

What about Fedora Jam? Would a 5-year-old laptop run that better than Ubuntu Studio?

Are there any drawbacks to just using Mint with the Ubuntu Studio controls?

Does anybody have experience using an x380 yoga for audio production?

Any thoughts would be appreciated!

So are they going to hire people to mod all those subs?

Code Review by sentient_loom in c/programmerhumor@kbin.social

When I do code reviews it is a personal attack. I only suggest code changes on my enemy's pull requests.

I need Podcast app recommendations for Android/PC by sentient_loom in c/technology@beehaw.org

[-] sentient_loom@kbin.social 5 points 1 year ago

I use Podcast Addict on Android (both phone and tablet) and it's excellent. I'm using the paid version so it's ad-free. It has a good set of widgets too. Five stars.

I used to use Podkicker Pro, but the paid version started showing ads. So I switched to Podcast Addict Pro and it's excellent.

Why we need to move on from kbin.social by sentient_loom in c/RedditMigration@kbin.social

[-] sentient_loom@kbin.social 7 points 1 year ago

What would be the benefit of a single user instance?
I guess you'd really control your data.
You could do a magazine as your own personal blog.
And you could still post to any instance you want.

Best places to get human reviews/recommendations outside of reddit? by sentient_loom in c/AskKbin@kbin.social

[-] sentient_loom@kbin.social 5 points 1 year ago

YouTube is great, but I prefer reading the review so I can skim more easily.

Shitposting is Wrong (kbin.social)

Shitposting is what ruined reddit, which would be a great place for serious discussion if it weren't for the shitposting maniacs who just can't let good people enjoy pictures of kittens and assertions of respectable politics without lampooning them with ironic memes and foul language.

If these fledgeling platforms want to compete with reddit then I say delete this sub so we can focus on serious things like Donald Trump and superhero movies.
