Sounds like an attempt to discover DIEarrhea. Report your findings, should you survive the experiment.

I tried it for a while. It was fun making basic open chords. But I could never figure out how to keep my fretting fingers from partially muting the non-fretted strings. I don't have super fat fingers or anything, I just couldn't figure it out.

And barre chords...forgeddaboudit.

Redditor: her features are symmetrical therefore you have no choice, you are attracted to her.

Me: this is so dumb

Also me: busts out laughing

Not sure about Minecraft, but sometimes the launcher is simply there to make configuration, startup options, parameters, profile selection, etc. a smoother experience for the user. You can do this kind of stuff without a dedicated launcher, but some software publishers prefer to divide things up this way.

It's a dumb analogy, but I kind of think of it like restaurants. Some restaurants have a full wait staff with a maitre d, some have walk-up counter, some have a kiosk with a screen, etc.

Many of them contain lye, which is alkaline. Always read the label to check for compatibility with your pipes. Note that drain pipes can be made from a different material than your supply pipes. PVC and ABS are common, but there are other kinds.

Most apps invoke my inner Dennis Reynolds.

It's a shitshow. LinkedIn, too.

Agree. Most of the new stuff Microsoft adds in their updates are desperate ideas concoted in staff meetings, just so some beleaguered coder can tell the dickhead boss they pushed out a shiny new turd. And/or they just add more spyware for the corporations that pay for bulk licenses and the data miners.

Nextdoor has gotta be in the top 10.

You're a bold one. Lemmy hates videos and AI both.

Years ago, I used to play live music. We played in a lot of shitty dive bars. Thinking back on all the ancient decrepit plugs we used to power our instruments, amplifiers, and stage lights with...it's a miracle we never started a fire. Nightmare fuel now that I'm older and a little bit wiser.

The smart answer: it can start a fire, don't do it.

The honest answer: I've done it a zillion times and never started a fire. I buy heavy 12 and 10 gauge cords and only chain them to power things that don't require a lot of amps, like LED lights.

When in doubt, a plug-in power meter is an option you can use to help monitor the situation. Plugs that draw a lot of amps can get warm, even when not using an extension cord. Also, it's not uncommon for a device to pull a lot of amps on initial power-up, and then settle down to a lower draw.

I have family there, too. It can be fun to visit, but I would hate living there. It's also annoying how people who do live there think it's the center of the universe, and being from NYC is a personality.

Just like he's increasing Secular Talk viewership he's also increasing Wikipedia donations.

I hope lots of folks also download copies of Wikipedia, just in case. Elon is a sore loser type with too much money and free time.

Used CDs (or local library). Ripping software. Super easy. Or just buy from Amazon and download your files to local.

Many of my friends use it. I'm old school and just keep a collection of mp3s on multiple devices for backup.

Elmo Husk. A puppet and a shell of a man.

When things shifted from being proud of server uptimes to being proud of constant push notifications and constant pointless updates, that's when the tide turned. Engineers lost, MBAs won, and now customers suffer. It's all subscriptions and lootbox mentality now.

I'm guessing somewhere around 2010, but it was a gradual relentless process.
