i know artists like to make fast/slow versions of their songs but can they start doing versions of their songs at 10% of the speed?

i want to hear pop songs turn into haunting whale songs

@aen_the_acolyte, I guess the technical answer is :neocat_sign_no: because recording at 10x sample rate would require a much faster machine. Audio slowed down digitally to 10% would be capped at 2.4 or 4.8 kHz which is like MP3 at 8 kb/s or worse.

@cnx @aen_the_acolyte jokes on you, audio is often recorded at insane sampling rates, sometimes up to 768kHz. Just makes mastering so much easier and also gets rid of aliasing.

you know that feeling when you've been making notes and not reviewing them for the past 4 months, and now you have about 6 days left until your exam, so you decide to go back to your notes

and you realise, even though you spent hours in each lecture writing those notes down, they're not just shit notes but absolutely useless. how the fuck am i supposed to revise from bullet points

i should have just tried making flashcards for each lecture from the beginning instead of doing this

w8 wot @aen_the_acolyte, you guys take notes to read em later? i just do it to make sure i really try to understand and stay focus, and occasionally revisit previous points (e.g. lemma) if the lecture is following a narrative

can’t understand shit i wrote tho in the next class lmfao

@cnx if i dont take notes then i'm doodling or something because i genuinely can't just sit there and concentrate on a lecture for 2 hours. and it stops me from just going on my phone

doesnt really help me understand anything though

mhm, i have an exam in two weeks, i haven't started revising yet, and im beginning to feel the squeeze

time to learn effective study techniques for people with adhd for the thousandth time (i end up forgetting or abandoning it every single time, its extremely frustrating)

i feel mentally exhausted and i haven't even done anything today. brain feels eepy

maybe reading about cannibalism will make me feel better

im craving reading a book so hard and yet i can never find the fucking time

aen_the_acolyte, to books
@aen_the_acolyte@larkspur.one avatar

i want to read a book but i can only find a pdf of it which is very annoying

what's the best way to read a pdf? i can't convert it because it's formatted in a particular way so pdf is the only way

cnx,
@cnx@larkspur.one avatar

print it out i guess, @aen_the_acolyte, or find a physically copy at the local library

tbh i download ebooks if i need to look something up quickly or for archival purposes

everyone wish me good luck, i have two group assignments due in today, i've done most of the work out of anyone in both groups, and i haven't finished either one yet

got bored and started procrastinating so here's a version of my little bald guy reading a kindle (based on my irl kindle cover)

man, i fucking hate adhd. just let me get some goddamn work done for the first time this week

sometimes i wish my brain was a person so i could throttle it. why must you betray me at every turn

also it doesn't help that all of the work i need to do this week is on two assignments that are both group projects in which none of the people in the groups have done anything except for me. really demotivating tbh

i'm doing a masters degree and it has a placement attached to it, so it's an 18-month course

so when i apply for student finance, they give me a payment schedule that goes all the way up to april 2025 because they automatically class it as a 2 year course

the university wanted it all paid within 1 year, but i told them my student finance is more spread out so they changed their payment schedule for me

but now they're saying i can't do the placement if i don't pay in full before august?? like maybe tell me that at the start of the course you fucking arseholes

i think i have a condition where if i don't get up at 6am and get something done before 10am, i have a bad day

i don't think i've experienced this much joy reading a book than i did reading the Third Day of The Spear Cuts Through Water by Simon Jimenez

the past two hours have somehow been the best reading experience of my life, after 2-3 weeks of not reading anything...

kinda feel like eating someone now idk
