I’d probably cut down my current job to about 1 day a week (because I still love my job).

I’d Spend the rest of the time making all kinds of weird abstract artpieces that nobody would understand.

( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Erh… yes… ehm… fine weather today, right?

I awkardly gaze to the ground while I wait for the elevator to arrive at the right floor.

I agree 100%!

Well… maybe 70%.

If she used adobe suite for so many years, it would currently be agony to try and switch. It will take months, maybe even years to unlearn and relearn stuff properly.

Unless she only uses it for some simple cropping or something. Maybe you can add what kind of tools she actually uses?

As others have stated: you don’t necessarily need to read music for it to be fun. And there are different ways of notation. Chords, for example, are a great way to learn music without having to read on a per note basis.

Acoustic guitar is fairly easy to pick up. It will take a few days of pain to get your fingers accustomed to pressing the strings though. Takes quite some pressure from your fingers. But after those first few days, you’re golden. It’s also easier to change in which “key” you play a song(oversimplified: how high or low the whole song is).

Piano is another pretty easy instrument to learn chords on. The upside of piano is that you won’t have pain in the fingers for your first few days. You press and you’ll have a sound. It is harder to play in different “keys” though.

Keyboard is an interesting one too: You’ll learn chords like with the piano, but you’ll have acces to more sounds, backing tracks etc in your keyboard if you’d go that route.

Flutes and such are quite easy to get into, but can be a bit less interesting if you only play on your own.

But in the end, most instruments takes practice and time. Just set your own goals on what you find important.

Posted this somewhere else too, but saying Theremin is easy is just crazy. It is one of, if not THE most precise instrument there is.

The pitch can vary per session if you happen to have different CLOTHES on. It is that precise. Carolina Eyck on Youtube has some great videos about the basics. She shows how complicated playing tonally is with a Theremin.

Easy to have fun with though, but playing along with other music is really hard. You need very good ears to succesfully play a Theremin

Huh, never noticed that. Probably always thought that was just part of the program/files needed.

Thanks! Hmm, never thought of looking at 7zip’s settings to see if it can autodelete/not unpack that stuff. I’ll see if I can find such a setting!

Hmm, I’d say the Theramin is easy to have fun with, but to actually learn to play songs it is up there in difficulty with the violin. It is one of, if not THE most precise instrument there is.

Our news network has daily polls anyone can participate in. They share the results daily during their broadcasts. They even ask open ended questions or commentary, and broadcast those with different views.

Can someone explain why MacOS always seems to create _MACOSX folders in zips that we Linux/Windows users always delete anyway?

Lemmy taught me I’ll go to Linux Hell for using Ubuntu.

Everything is finite. Live in the moment and enjoy that song now without worrying whether you’ll enjoy it in the future. Other songs will take its place.

Well, typing and deleting lets me think thoroughly about where I stand in matters and what arguments I use. So in a way, it sometimes makes a difference for myself even if not posted.

Your mother was a hamster, and your father smells of elderberries.

Any movie that is acting out one of my hobbys. I always appreciate it if the writers/producers actually took the time to research it. Stuff like:

-boardgame setups

-videogame gameplay

-musical instruments/singing being performed

I also always look in a carscene wether they are actually driving or if it’s a video/screen playing Basically I look a lot for clues behind the scenes with movies instead of enjoying the movie as is.

The Sims 1 is great because they were basically rendered sprites.

Also most of the music on Sims 1 is just… some of the best music I’ve ever heard.

I like that RTFM can also stand for Read The Fucking Manpage.
