  • New alternate frontend: Tesseract. Photon now semi-supported

    Jump

  • I'm glad that the server team is experimenting and trying new things out. This looks really cool for someone!

    I just really hope this isn't a preamble to becoming the new default theme, because I really dislike this. It reminds me of other social media services that I go out of my way to avoid.

    I particularly dislike the infinitely scrolling dark pattern, but I also don't like that it displays all content immediately, wasting bandwidth, making it difficult to see headlines, and more difficult to ignore previously seen content.

  • Showing off my new alien spaceship themed tabby.nvim setup :D (feat. neovide, fzf, airline, markview)

    Jump

  • I love watching your cursor zoom around the window. Is that a feature of Neovide or something else that you have configured?

    What's the easiest song or melody someone with not experience can play on an acoustic guitar?

    Jump

  • I'm sorry, I didn't realize that you were just trolling. Next time, just save everyone some time and post to some shitposting community.

  • Keep trying! You can do it, it just takes time and it very likely won't click in an evening.

    Practice that change super slow going from a G chord to a D chord. Four strums on each chord, taking as much time as you need to make them sound as good as you can. It will sound bad for a little while, but eventually, you will do it perfectly, and you will do it perfectly again and again and again until doing it wrong is more difficult than doing it well.

    Keep at it, you will do it!

  • Ultra-processed foods need tobacco-style warnings, says scientist

    Jump

  • That's right! It's close to being a whole food, but it's just a bit off.

  • Have you gone down any rabbit holes that gave you an existential crisis?

  • Toxoplasma Gondii - a parasite bred through cat poop. It is extremely common, easily spread through undercooked food (especially meat). It can affect your mental state to engage in riskier and more self destructive behaviors. Testing for Toxoplasma Gondii is not standard, but it is believed that 10-15% of the US population is infected with the parasite at any given time.

  • 'It's inhumane.' Despite how hot it is, Tennessee renters don't have a right to air conditioning

    Jump

  • I took a measure from a friend's house in east Tennessee the other day. 40-some percent humidity (really good!), but 88F in the shade, 93F in direct sun, and 116F when standing over blacktop.

  • Star Trek Is Showing More Love To Scott Bakula’s Enterprise

    Jump

  • I've only made it to season 2, so I'm holding out hope that it gets better, but lazily progressive seems to describe it pretty well.

    The one that really rubs me rough it how Tilly is very clearly coded to be some type of neuro divergent, probably autistic, but also only when it is convenient and quirky and will not interfere with the plot too much.

    Her suddenly being very socially adept when the plot needed her to pretend to be an evil commander or whatever, and she dropped all of her character flaws to make it happen just felt so out of character and lazy.

    Also the scenes with Spock and "child abuse bad" at the start of the red angel arc was very ham fisted.

    I much preferred how SNW handled the "our wonderful society is supported by horrible child labor and death" arc. Still about as subtle as a brick, but it at least felt like an attempt was made to encode a message, and not just saying it at the viewer like a pre-school cartoon recapping the message of the episode.

  • In 2024 we are now further from the release of the song 1985 than 1985 was from 1985

    Jump

  • The song "1985" was released in 2004. At that time, the song was reminiscing about a time that was 19 years ago. Now, in 2024, the year 2004 is 20 years ago. Therefore, the release year of the song "1985" is closer to the year 1985, than the current year is to the year the song "1985" was released (2004).

  • They do deep dives are random shitty people throughout history, and occasionally contemporary people like Andrew Tate. Usually it is people like 1940s gangsters, 1990s drug kingpins, King Leopold the 2nd, and fittest gurus from the 1800s.

  • Anyone interested in a book club?

  • That's super cool of you to share your notes with the world like that!

  • Biden administration sets 50 miles per gallon fuel economy standard for 2031

    Jump

  • As far as I am aware, current fuel economy standards are primarily determined by the size of the wheel base. Some years ago, the EPA went from a reasonably managed chart to a specific formula that gets a little extreme on the ends.

    So you end up with craziness like a 95 ranger required to have 60mpg to meet the standard, and a 2024 f35 super mega ultra cab long bed to have like 3mpg to meet standards. (Numbers are made up, but that is the main idea as I understand it)

  • Anyone interested in a book club?

    Jump

  • I'm game. I'm currently reading "Don't Make Me Think: Revised Edition" by Steve Krug. The book is primarily about website design, but anyone with half a brain could translate the design principles and main ideas into a game development context. I just finished Chapter 10(?) all about designing usability tests and how to get a feel for where the main issues are with your design. After that, I've got "Design is Storytelling" by Ellen Lupton and "The Animator's Survival Kit" by Richard Williams queued up.

  • I am at a loss for words that I could recognize it almost immediately.

  • 'Sedition Panda' convicted of assaulting officer on Jan. 6 after judge calls defense argument 'absurd'

    Jump

  • I once met a guy in a guitar shop telling me about the "litter boxes" in the class room of a local high school. I was working as a substitute teacher at the time while I finished my master's thesis. I told him that I work at that school regularly and could confirm that it was a facebook shitpost and not even remotely grounded in reality.

    He walked out of that store still 100% convinced that our local high school just had students casually pooping in the corner during class.

    I mean sure, we still had students pooping in the corner during class, but it had nothing to do with litter boxes. It was very much motivated by how much they hated that particular science teacher, and there was absolutely nothing casual about it.

  • Suggestion please: overdive pedal

    Jump

  • It sounds like the Rat might be more of what you are looking for. Blues can and does distort, but not THAT much. Try out a Rat, dial it back a little, then see what you think. Worst case scenario, you try stacking the TS and the Rat? Although, that may get untenable quickly.

    I'll also put the Fulltone OCD overdrive onto your radar. It has a very wide range and my buddy loves it with his deluxe reverb. It isn't as classic or super well-known, but it isn't super obscure either.

  • Suggestion please: overdive pedal

    Jump

  • Ok, reading the description, it is may be trying to sound like a deluxe reverb or a blues junior.

    If that is true, then a blues driver pairs with that amp style really well in my opinion. More grit than a typical tubescreamer, but not quite a full bore distortion pedal like a DS-1 or a Distortion+ (My personal favorite distortion).

    Check out some samples online and see what you think. If you want something a little more like Black Keys, or Jimi Hendrix, then you may also want to consider fuzz pedals with some, relatively lower-ish, gain settings.
