MiddleWeigh

I got duck.

Buddy's first big swim

OK so I am fairly tech illiterate, and would like some guidance.

I had been using ver. .33 up until today, very happily I might add, and I decided to try .35 out. I know there were some issue with the .18 ver of lemmy and compatibility so I just wanted to try.

I Uninstalled .33, installed .35 from github. I immediately got an error message about compatibility and ver .18.

OK whatever. Uninstalled. Went back and got .33 , but now the app just crashes. I much prefer and am used to jerboa over the web browser.

Any thoughts ?

Edit: lemmy is pretty unusable right now on web browser, it was working fine until I no longer have the app, the constant refresh is pretty bad, every second there is 100 new posts regardless of how I sort.

Edit2: solved. Repeatedly click hamburger till app stays open. (: thanks @FlayOtters

The only god is our own intent.

(I've never done this before lol)

I'd like to think im not a stupid person, but sometimes I'm not too confident. Perhaps most of my "stupid moments" stem from this.

So I see people are starting move stuff over from reddit. But now my feed is clogged with r/nosleep mirrors, and due to the sorting bugs and lack of a hide read thread option, I think it's worth discussing best way to go about this. I'm not tech savvy, just thought I'd bring it up.

I'm all for the idea, but it feels spammy, especially when sorting by all>new is currently our best browsing experience.

Thanks for reading.

Edit: they said they're dumping them into a defederated instance first as a work around. Thanks to everyone doing their part!

So I was commenting on another post when I found myself rambling so decided to just make it a post. Not sure if this is a good place for it, sorry.

As far as redditors go, I'm probably more removed from the situation than some of you. I have no dealings with mods, admin, and I've only been active for the last year, and really only in super niche communities.

I didn't feel too strongly about this whole thing tbh. But as I've followed this topic, and the more I interact with the feddiverse, the stronger I feel about reddit based on principal.

Thought is such an invaluable resource for the common people, which is, and always has been, monopolized by a system that exploits us. It divides us. Look at what reddit is doing trying to get mods to turn on each other. It's just nasty capitalist tactics to make a buck off of....thought itself? Oh hell no. That just feels too convoluted to me from a pure logic standpoint. And from a principals standpoint, and I'm the kind of person who doesn't feel too strongly about many things, the dude can't abide.

Why do we need a thought middle man? There is no real need to take that out of our hands to begin with, when we have awesome people willing to take up that mantle for the sake of progress. Thanks to the people who are contributing by running servers, developing the software etc. You are seemingly on the edge of the ever expanding human understanding, of itself and its place in the world.

Thought should always be free flowing and uncontrolled. It is what makes us human. And I think, more and more, humanness is something innately missing in our everyday lives.

I'd like for my community to be a community. For the sake of community. As a basic biological need for happiness in this life, that has far too much needless suffering as it is.

So in the end, this is really an appreciation post, for getting to experience something like this with everybody.

Thanks for reading. Sorry for some of my clunky wording. Brain moves faster than my weary bones sometimes, and I'm not nearly as smart or refined as I'd like to be. Let's keep working to making this something to take pride in.

Love yourselves.

and feel free to discuss.

OK so for the sake of content, here is my current guitar area of my living room. It's a hot mess. I kinda went on a bender with some psychoactive substances last week and was writing and playing alot, moving pedals around, getting tangled in cables lol.

My current signal chain: Prs custom 24 se into CMC Germanium Sunface fuzz clone > wampler mini ego compressor > eqd grand orbiter phaser > CMC effects King of Tone clone > strymon deco double tracker > dod rubberneck delay > strymon flint reverb > boss rc5 looper.

All into a fender hot rod deluxe that needs repairs, I mic it up with a sm57, and whatever condenser mic I feel like using, I've got a akg c3000 on there now, then they run to some decentish preamps(Isa one and wa12) then into the line in on my interface. I'm running reaper on a shitty home made PC that's like 12+yrs old with expired windows. Jammed it with ram and it runs great. It sounds pretty damn good. I blend the two signals together, or just use one, sometimes I'll use 1 mic and do a direct in and blend those. I like the results. I'll refine my process once I get down to really recording. I've been in writing mode for a while.

I bought that carpet recently and I kinda dig it. My first carpet purchase, I must be a real person now.

If you have any questions or recommendations or anything at all please feel free, thanks for reading.

Perhaps I'll make another post with some other stuff later. But for now, if you care what it sounds like. I recorded this a while ago in spring, I have a more done version now but this is just guitar bass and drum for this post. No harmony or vocals or anything. Real rough. I have this and about 6 other things I'm working on right now. I'm trying to get an album done before I am too old and broken to hold a guitar. (:

I don't do this for money
