What's a common occurrence in your hobby that you think shouldn't be?

There plenty of things being a hobby musician that my community does but the one lesser talked about one is Musicians will makes plans and 90% of the time there is no follow through. “We will be in touch” “we should do something” “you would be good for…” “give me your number” “email me” all essentially go nowhere. The only other people who might be less reliable are contractors doing home improvement.

The original party god

Reply in thread

I’m not sure where but I know it was a point of contention that they made up over. There was a moment where tenacious D was brought onto stage as Jack Black and that pissed/hurt him a lot. So what they are saying is kinda of true but they’ve already talked and made up so why they are bringing it up as a gotcha is a bit strange.

Stop being elitist, spread Linux!

Stop being elitist about Linux, the amount of times I’ve had to explain that none of my software runs great on Linux just to have to hear how with trouble shooting it will. My work depends on the use of my software, it’s collaborative. If I have to trouble shoot every time adobe or Ableton updates it’s a bad use of my time and is actively taking time away from projects. Only I use VSTs for music production, they all work perfectly in windows and MacOS. Linux? Hit or miss.

Maybe I’m convinced. Now I gotta find the right one, set it up. Get all my software working, learn a new UI, hope that it doesn’t break collaboration. All in all, not worth the little I would save.

A Vermont mom called police to talk to her son about stealing. He ended up handcuffed and sedated

Reply in thread

there was a time where media portrayed that as a reasonable thing to do, the police would come and talk to their kid. I've heard stories about it happening. Hell when i kid we got caught being destructive and the cops who caught us took us on tour of where we could end up. We got brought in the truck straight to the cells. It is a foolish thought but a person who holds some idyllic model in their heads sometimes are blinded by it.

It may be nothing at all but what you describe can be seen as depersonalization/derealization which is something I suffer as part of my mental illness. It could also be something as small as not drinking enough water. Check on your mental health, check on your nutrition or sleep. What’s going on in your life’s right now, any new stresses?

Not My Castle, Not My Monkeys.

It’s a story a pooling together making up for each others weaknesses and work as a team. in the end finding with some confidence or perspective from the people around them they may have had it in them all along but sometimes we need someone to show us the way. It’s a story how we are a collective people who are all individuals within them.

Though I realize the original post is just an easy joke

Linux May Be the Best Way to Avoid the AI Nightmare

I am basically a layman, i do music productions and in the past VSTs seemed to never work properly nor the authentication software that some us. Has it gotten better in the past few years, is there a specific one i should try? i have tried Ubuntu but nothing else to be fair. Also if i want to make a plex server on an old PC, what would people recommend? thanks to anyone who responds!

edit - Thanks to all that responded, i have some direction now. Appreciated!
