What Happens When You Play Metallica Without Distortion?
One metal fan has a theory about what is really going on in Metallica's music.
Fellow #iPad musicians will probably be interested to hear that #Izotope just released a #free AUv3 version of their popular #distortion plugin #Trash. I did mention it was free, right?
A few days ago I saw a post here on Mastodon from someone who mentioned a new #opensource#plugin for low end #distortion that's also available for #linuxaudio. I thought I bookmarked it to check it out, but now I cannot find it anymore. Can anyone point me in the right direction?
We are trying to figure out which distortion correction algorithm is used in the embedded lens correction metadata in Nikon Z series cameras! It seems to not be ptlens (which is used by lensfun).
A friend privately responded: "[Eberhard should] blame himself for not having covered [the points that led to defamation suit] in his agreements when Musk signed up initially. America is a land of opportunists."
This is pure victim-blaming — In my friend's view, even if Eberhard was a victim, it was the victim’s own fault, not the fraudster’s.
Disqualifying the Positive: it’s a cognitive distortion where you disregard a large amount of positive feedback to focus on a small amount of negative feedback.
But a lot of positive feedback is like “good work, keep it up” while negative feedback is like “I didn’t like the color palette, I HATED the animations, the frame rate was choppy, the main character is boring, and the plot never resolved”.
We should all focus on giving more specific and actionable positive feedback. What is the positive equivalent to “constructive criticism”?
Pre-Monsoon rains are falling over the highest terrain of the Sacramento mountains of southern New Mexico.
First photo is a fisheye lens view of the sky. Fisheye distortion makes the horizon strongly curved. Above, storm clouds are forming. Where the bottom of the cloud is smooth and featureless...rain is falling.
Looking down at the driveway. The photographer's feet, waist, and torso are also in the frame.
This is classic New Mexico 'six inches of rain'...a raindrop every six inches on the pavement.
So far the rain gauge says 0.01 inches. You may think this is merely a psychological victory for those that worship monsoon, but the high altitude forest has come alive with this slightest trace of rain, and humid air.
both dumbfounding & deeply unsurprising that the total-fucking-godhead brainmelter big muff pedals from the 90s were designed by a trans woman, Fran Blanche.
I've thought for a while that a certain kind of dysphoria requires those sorts of tones for psychic nourishment.
