Many instances block nsfw instances, maybe some of the furry communities are impacted by that.

How do we even tell between actors that only get casted for one type of role, actors who only apply for one type of role, and actors who just can’t play anything else well?

I think the situation is less dire for popular music, all the bass teachers I’ve had had me doing rhythm exercises and practice playing by ear etc.; and that’s in genres were a pretty high percentage of students are going to end up playing in some kind of group, so they’re very likely to just learn/practice to be musical by doing (with varying success).

I think a big issue for most genres and instruments is that students don’t get interested in learning an instrument because of simple stuff, but because they listened to some awesome, exciting music that prominently features their instrument. That leads to a general tendency to try and learn complicated, difficult to play pieces before they’re ready, and teachers often encourage this behavior.

lol, watching ads

Subs, Japanese voice actors just have a completely different style. And I’d probably need subs for English dubs anyway (like I do for English-language live action movies/shows), because English is not my native language, so there’s barely an advantage.

Coldmirror, if you speak German

I found that it had a lot of substance. Great show.

Parks & Recs season one was pretty different from the rest of the show - not necessarly bad, just different, e.g. several popular characters didn’t exist yet. TBH I don’t remember when exactly they introduced substantial changes, but I think it was the start of season two.

It means that the source code of the application (e.g. the Lemmy website/server) is available to everyone. Everyone can spin up their own personal Lemmy server. The difficult and sometimes controversial part is that I don’t necessarily know whether a website is running the publicly known source code.

The content you create with it is not part of what makes an application open source or not.

Rich people don’t actually need more money, it’s fundamentally about being above common people (i.e. power). If AI can cater to their every need, they don’t need to have more money than a 2010s billionaire who still had to pay people for goods and services.

yeah

“lesbian” inherently couples gender identity and sexual preference, no? Language and identity are certainly malleable, but it would be news to me than “lesbian” got the “gay” treatment (where the meaning did change from “homosexual man” to “homosexual or bisexual”, depending on the social circle).

Pretty sure their sexual (or gender) identity is “woman”. The trans thing is usually more a stumbling block than an identity.

Yes, women can be lesbians.

It’s vexing from a design standpoint, and TBH my sleep rhythm is bad enough that I do have an issue with it sometimes.

Not much of an improvement over the standard design. I already know that the clockhand pointing to 1 means that it’s either 1 am or 13 o’clock/1 pm, but it still doesn’t tell me unambiguously which one it is.

24-hour-clock being a military thing is kind of a USA-thing anyway, in many other countries it’s just normal.

I wish there was a more practical way to have an analog 24-hour-clock, a clockface with 24 numbers is kinda hard to read.

Don’t think I’ve ever actually said it, but I definitely think “el-mao”.

Remixes are bit of weird thing, because depending on the genre the original release might already include remixes. See here: https://basskruit.bandcamp.com/album/kopstoot-ep (“Ketel (Requake Remix)” is my favourite on that EP)

I do enjoy it when the remix or cover completely changes the song’s genre. Anyone up for metal remixes of pop songs? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8jfpsiLx21k&list=RD8jfpsiLx21k

Skream’s remix of La Roux’s “In for the kill” is a true classic IMO. Hey, that’s the second La Roux remix in this thread!
