It’s both the video and my own recording, did some work to remove the background noise (mostly) and then layered them about 10ms apart. Added a lot of reverb. It’s a little muddy imo but I’m learning

they want a world in which there is inherently no understood reality. It goes back to Karl Rove's "we create our own reality" and further still i'm sure. Real information for the elite and zero understanding of how they manipulate reality for everyone else. What takes its place is misinfo firehose

the thing is... you are replying to a post that says "poor people can't afford EVs" by proposing all these scenarios in which people are not poor and afford EVs. like. read the post you're replying to and consider what it is actually saying

Saying "just buy an EV if you hate high gas prices" to poor people makes climate activists look out of touch. Those who are most impacted by high gas prices can't afford $20k+ on a vehicle and charger. I certainly can't, so let's keep that in mind before we shame people for not going electric.

Hi I made this Gamelan practice and transcription tool to help with rehearsals. Right now it is mostly focused around one instrument but it should be able to transcribe any tonal instrument in a gamelan ensemble as long as you can provide samples of every note ljferdinand.github.io/gamelan-practice/

I don’t think the frustration many feel for the difficulty or legitimate impossibility of owning an EV in their living situation is perfectionism

This image REALLY WAS posted from Trump’s “Truth Social” account and, fortunately, the bible itself reminds everyone that when a “man of lawlessness” drunk on earthly power declares himself a god, he is defeated by the combined force of everyone who sticks with the truth. 2 Thessalonians 2, nerds.

@gruber.foo neo’s got to be a play for the large scale adoption of iPads, chromebooks and terrible low-end pcs in education. Any school that distributes iPads already has the mdm infrastructure to manage Neos, and the performance and manageability over similarly priced pcs has to be substantial.

This was an invented moral panic. The NYT and Fox News ran more stories about trans people than the Advocate, an explicitly LGBTQ publication. It was the exact same story in the UK. The media fanned the flames of a moral panic.
