As an out of touch person, I have a possible explanation for this: have you ever said “shit” repeatedly as something goes wrong? I imagine some people would write a story where that happens and write it as “shitshitshit” and not “shit shit shit”. But outside of that situation I have never seen or heard “shitshit”.

https://fanaticus.social is a whole sports instance, and the instance as a whole definitely passes the “at least a post per week” requirement

Yep, definitely not new, but in the past I have seen people promote not-new communities that nonetheless are tiny and have not been posted here before so I figured it was okay. If you’re concerned this sub is losing its purpose you might want to message the mod about changing the rules or something. I do not mind seeing old communities here but my opinion is not the only one that matters, and !communitypromo@lemmy.ca does exist even if it gets far less traffic.

On one hand I get your point, but on another if you spend most of your time learning (but through other formats than books: through quality online articles or videos, and not eBooks) then it does not seem so bad to me.

I am reading nearly 24/7 but I complete a full actual book maybe once a year. Might be bigger if you count the books that have also (legally) been wholly posted online, but I often forget them because I read them just like an extra-long article: on my phone. I read peoples’ original fiction that they post online so I’m not sure whether to count it or not.

I like longer articles but I do admit that I consume so much less long-form content than I did as a child. At least I avoid TikTok and Reels and the like? (Not to be elitist, but because I know I specifically would get addicted and waste my life. Very bad for my particular ADHD brain.) Also something something possible link between lower attention spans and only consuming short-form content. So I get the general gist of your idea and agree even if I do not particularly agree with the emphasis on the medium of books.

Ooh a PieFed community! Wonder how that’ll play with Mbin and Lemmy. Followed. Hope this along with the more mainstream textile hobby communities convince me to actually engage in my textile hobbies more often.

A decent explanation on what a digital garden is. Kind of at the intersection of PKMS and blogging. You can keep continually editing and it is not meant to be perfect, somewhat like an online journal you keep, something something learning in public.

That link punted me off my instance to sh.itjust.works, here’s another one !lemmy_stitch@sh.itjust.works

This is exactly why I chose Mbin: to help diversify Threadiverse software.

Title is ugly.

I figured “where you live” is basically the same thing as “home” unless you start getting into stuff like some adults living in hotels all the time because they are constantly on the move and rarely at their permanent address, or adults not considering their current residence their home because they know it’s just a temporary place and they’ll move soon or they do not like where they live and they don’t feel welcome.

Data investigates nothing like that. Instead investigates adults specifically within 25–29 years old who live with their parents, which might be the same place as their childhood home.

Pretty image though.

Is that still good? I heard about some old music piracy sites now being flooded with viruses and the like. I don’t feel like having to be careful with what I download so I’ll probably resort to a YouTube to mp3 downloader since most of what I have is probably posted on YouTube, and I am not one of those people who can detect a difference in audio quality with different file types. I appreciate the help!

Younger person in my 20s. Most of my friends use Spotify. I grew up buying music on iTunes and will continue to do that. I also have little interest in discovering new music and a preference for straight-up owning instead of streaming something I do not own. (Yes, I am aware I should probably go reread the TOS to see if I actually own or if Apple can remotely take my “ownership” away and back up the files like mad.) But I know my approach is uncommon amongst my social group.

I do not have CDs and will not buy one. I know of their use for backing things up. I keep external hard drives but otherwise do not really like physical media and want to keep the count of physical things I have down. Another thing to collect dust, to have to try to keep nice because I like things to look nice, and to be heartbroken about when I inevitably spill something on it/scratch it/otherwise break or damage it, whether in a “it will lose functionality” way or just a superficial way. I’ll avoid the pain and just go digital.

I am also just not much of a merch person. I might donate money to support musicians but please don’t give me a T-shirt I’ll never want to wear (they are not my style, I might buy clothing if it actually fits my style but merch clothing almost always doesn’t) or a poster I’ll never hang up. If I like your music I might buy sheet music to play it myself. Better be accurate though, not a simplification, or I’ll turn up my nose and transcribe it myself. Can’t guarantee I’ll have perfect results, but I will be closer to the original than the simplified piano/vocal/maybe guitar scores that are often put out.

I also don’t know what skibidi toilet is, besides a meme that really belongs to people a decade younger than me. I don’t care to find out but I am happy to let them have their fun.

I feel like I’m missing the word for “plays live without a DAW”, what do I call that? Usually the highest-tech thing in the setup is a microphone. (Or maybe the keyboard itself, but mostly I just leave it on the default piano sound and treat it like a piano that just so happens to plug in and doesn’t require a moving team to handle.) I may have half-assumed people would infer that when I said “play live” even though that is factually incorrect because I know live play often involves the kind of thing you mentioned, using computers and controllers to trigger or change sounds. (Disclaimer: not a snob saying doing it that way is less valid. I am aware it requires a musical skill set to sound good and a technical skill set to make it work! It’s just also not what I do and I want to know how to better talk about it.)

As a person who mostly plays live, and has zero interest in composition, special effects, or editing, recording layers into GarageBand to play with myself and/or importing stuff from friends so they can play with me from faraway is good enough for me!

I use Ableton Live for making mashups of existing stuff though, the Warp function is super helpful.

I’d usually butt out of this to let the people who do more than just play around in DAWs talk, but the Fediverse could use engagement and it’s still technically on-topic because I talked about my favorite DAW :P

You sound like me. STEM background, though I have been playing music from an early age. I’m good at transcribing what I hear down to sheet music, but ask me to generate anything original or creative and I can’t do anything.
