Exactly! Nobody has to listen to OP and change plans because OP doesn’t approve! Like you, OP is free to NOT use the product!

So, you’re saying that if you keep watching happy people grooving, you’ll keep the pessimism “at bay”? I can supply more!

I understand the frustration, but that third paragraph suggests you’re not very happy with yourself? I ask because everybody knows a country is not a sentient being with feelings and opinions; a country is just a variety of individuals with differing opinions. Anyway, flowers can grow even in junkyards; can we not find peace and the means to enjoy and improve ourselves… in any country?

This is the basis for every sovereign citizen (aka “sovcits”); isn’t it? Doesn’t sovereign citizenry really only make sense if a sovcit goes “all the way”? I ask this because sovcits seem to partake in society’s services provided by the collective (like roads, traffic signals, police, firefighters, etc.) while complaining about state overreach when (1) they have to pay something like property tax or (2) when they have to deal with LE. I’m not saying you’re wrong to have a sovcit mentality, but doesn’t a sovcit have to stop using society’s services and put up a real defense when LE gets involved? I’m not recommending you do either; I’m just saying while the system is flawed, at least, Western “democracies” have one. The alternative seems to be (1) leaving the country or (2) fighting anybody who threatens your sovereignty.

Yeah, it would be great to have to arm myself just to drive down the street because the dude at the corner decided to implement a toll to drive in front of his house. Lawlessness! The only law of the land under anarchy is might. The concept of “right” goes out the window.

You didn’t mention where you are in the transition from hardware-to-DAW or what your objective(s) are, but I suppose there is no need for any of that if you are happy. Why not put together a midi-only song (only DAW-generated sounds)? It’s just an idea.

Source?

I see God in it all. I don’t believe all these “hi-tech features” would ever come about with random mutations causing an advantage from time to time. It’s just too awesome imo. Oxygen, beauty, exuberant life, building materials… Water is equally miraculous imo. There’s so much more!

I am simply “representing” my POV. I already know lots of people don’t like anything religious, but if atheists can openly be themselves, doesn’t everybody else have the same right? So, that’s all this is. Just like Richard Dawkins and Keanu Reeves, I’m not interested in debate. I’m just representing.

If you’re not comfortable visiting that URL, they have a u-turb channel.

Hey, thanks a lot; I just thought I’d let you know that the problem with having to login all the time might be my own fault. It might be the Cookie-Auto-Delete extension that I added to Firefox. This issue may also be the reason embedded u-tub videos keep suggesting I’m a bot. Either way, thx.

Lemmy is not supported by any oligarch (afaik). Secondly, you can browse posts from other Lemmy instances! So… people from Red-it: You came around before to have a look; don’t you think it’s time you settled in? A lot has improved since you visited the Fediverse; if you subscribe to feeds from other instances, when you click on ‘Subscribed’ or ‘All’ at the top, you just might see a similar amount of content that you saw on Rddt.

What I’m really hoping is that this instance really turns into an eye-opener for music and theory that I’m not familiar with. After all, there are so many genius-like musicians around the world, in history, etc. Wouldn’t you like to learn about them?

When?

PCMag seems to endorse it.

Tuta Mail is free for personal use, though you must accept a few limitations. The free edition lets you send and receive all the secure messages you want, and it includes a secure calendar. Searching encrypted email is limited—with the free edition, you can only search messages up to a month old. Paying 36 euros per year for a Revolutionary subscription ($38.65 as of this writing) removes that search limitation, lets you have multiple calendars, and adds features including filtering rules and 15 alias email addresses (more about those later). It also raises the storage for your messages from 1GB to 20GB.

I would enjoy checking out the new features of the upgrade! I’d like that more since Lemmy looks like the future for me (Corporations seem to be drawn to Kryptonite or the Dark Side or something).

Hey, I’m having to login everyday lately, and was wondering if this is the new normal. Thanks.

Seems $ is the idol he is worshipping.

Spend money like this to get ideas down?

Will I record an entire track on it? Nah, probably not.

Dolphins and rainbows? What kind of LSD has OP been taking? Yeah, America is a hypocrite, and its politicians are liars who selectively apply “justice”. American exceptionalism DOES indeed seem like a joke, and it is arguably far from the best Western or “democratic” country, but what country would OP say is the model we should all follow? OP, you obviously hate the USA. What country is the best in your opinion? I hate shit countries, but I sure as fuck would rather eat this shit over the shit I see in some countries.

I really got into Enterprise. They got into a lot of ethnic and cultural issues, and that really engaged me.
