Happy 40th birthday, Apple IIc!
Launched April 24, 1984.

Next screen: a 50s dad smoking pipe in recliner with the Apple IIc snugly sitting on the desk, everything is neat and tidy. A cat is sleeping on the desk. “It just so happens that’s your Apple can help put your life in order by doing a lot of the routine tasks most people hate doing.”

Remember I said the community will gather behind a fork to keep it , and that is a strong candidate?

It's continuing to gain momentum, and just added more major corp partners incl. Aiven, Alibaba Cloud, Chainguard, Heroku, Huawei, Percona, and Verizon. Check out the @linuxfoundation announcement here: https://www.linuxfoundation.org/press/valkey-community-announces-release-candidate-amid-growing-support-for-open-source-data-store

is also going full steam, reaching GENERAL AVAILABILITY just a couple of weeks after the fork announcement:

is the fretting forearm perpendicular to the neck, or does it angle from the body toward the headstock?

I'm putting the guitar on my left leg and have found recently that switching from the former to teh latter, bringing my elbow in and letting my left hand angle so that my pinkie curls more than my index finger helps everything relax more.

    @molly0xfff well, you need a book to be able to refer to as source from wikipedia or from « research » papers. It’s a long game.

    Look at any of Robben Ford performances. A lot of elbow and he’s allright I recon 🤣

    I would like to say that I prefer to play classical "with the flesh" (using the fingertips, not nails) because I like the aesthetic, or because I admire Sor's work, or because I prefer the sound.

    I do like the aesthetic, I do admire Sor's work, and I do like the sound.

    But the real reason is because I keep and work with and consistently maintaining long nails is just… not plausible.

    Badscrew,

    @hrefna oh wait - this is why my college GF back then never had nails!!!

    Today, I replaced the steel strings on my with nylon Slap Happy Weed Wackers. I like the tone, but I feel like my E-string is now too close to the finger board and tends to slap it even playing pizz. I don’t have an adjustable bridge, any I’m wondering if any other players out there have any experience adjusting to nylon strings? The string diameter is so much larger than before, and that seems to be contributing. Seems like I should get an adjustable bridge?

    Badscrew,

    @chrishuck it’s possible to shim the bridge feet

    In the uber-uber-uber classic 1967 film "The President's Analyst", the FBI and CIA had major continuing roles. However, apparently FBI director J. Edgar Hoover became upset upon hearing about this, causing writer/director Ted Flicker (yes, Flicker was his real name), to go back and dub over all use of FBI and CIA with FBR (Federal Bureau of Regulation) and CEA (Central Enquiries Agency) before the film's release.

    Badscrew,

    @lauren
    Smart.
    No one ever figured out what those agencies were for real.
