@matt@MarkAssPandi@rysiek@katzenberger I don't know how we tick "green" without a paid-for search engine. If @protonmail could launch something and package it in with one of their existing subscription packages that might work, but search engines are expensive to run and we need to pay for them with money or our corporeal selves (data).
If you're a serious #MusicProduction hobbyist I strongly recommend Landr as a source for great feedback on your tracks. You can hire a professional for a relatively modest (depending on your budget) amount to give very insightful and actionable feedback on your stuff.
I've used a guy called Franz Matthews on there on every track I've released one I've got a good draft together and the changes suggested have always added a really professional touch.
@poiseunderchaos I mean, I'm considering my tame music professional as my "teacher" here. Each time I've worked with this guy I've come away with a track I'm happier with.
Research is good though. Landr verifies whether someone is a professional, and you can see reviews etc.
If I had many musician peers that would help, and friends aren't going to tell me that it's getting muddy in the 800hz range. :-)
I went back to Banished (game) after about 8 years since last playing it. It's always bugged me that I got close to getting the final achievement but lost my saves.
No more. (It's quite painful - the game gets extremely slow towards the end with that many people.)
@b0rk You know when you're on the fediverse when 75% of respondents to a public poll have git integration in their shell prompt, and there is an option for not using git.
I have worked in online content for well over 15 years, yet still I have to google 'name html' if I want to include an in-text anchor link so I know which way round to put the tags.
I am also one of those people who Googles 'Beyonce' rather than learning the shortcut for an é on my keyboard.
There should be a word for the anxiety feeling you get when you've got something in your Ctrl+C clipboard and you need to paste it into the right place before you forget and Ctrl+C something else.
Social media, on a good day, can be a tool for talking therapy, especially to introverted or those without means to get professional help.
I think this is a very strong argument for keeping Meta out. This space should be ephemeral, should that be the user's preference. Or at least that's the law on my social media company mxtthxw.art
Toots delete every two weeks. I know they're cached on other servers. Maybe consider clearing them once in a while?
@mxtthxw essentially, to build the TLs my instance keeps local copies of the content to save it having to re-fetch the data every time which would be wayyyy too slow and put excessive load on other instances.
It has a size limit. Once it's full, the oldest stuff gets evicted to make easy for newer stuff. idk the details on how deletions work though, as in, I don't know if it deletes stuff from the cache if it sees a deletion from another instance. You'd hope so.
