I've been playing guitar (and more recently bass) on and off for 15 years now. I've had a few combo amps and a Yamaha THR-X at some point as living room amps....
It depends what you're looking for as far as bells and whistles but if I were you I'd start scouring every pawn shop in a 10 mile radius of your house and see what you can find. Peavey solid state amps seem be indestructible but usually not many options. I had a lot of fun with my Line 6 Spider III back in the day, and the fender frontman series was also decent from my recollection

This is a good example, it's a hydrophone recording of a glass sphere imploding, the level of sound and echo should give you a good idea of the kind of forces we're dealing with:
I'm currently using a first gen Hermod on my rack, its been a great little sequencer but I've been thinking of upgrading it.

One of the things...

This is new since yesterday, I don't know what's happening. My PC has been partially powering off suddenly and without warning.

If the memory is fine it would also be wise to check your hard drive, I had similar issues right before my old laptop drive failed. Also are you using an integrated graphics card or an external GPU? Some extra specs may be useful
This one was passed down to me by my grandmother and it's proved to be a very useful tool for both cooking and gardening. There are non-vegetarian recipies but overall it's a great book, and these days it's not too hard to find a suitable meat alternative.
I did some cursory reading and read that too much sun can cause white/black spots, I keep it next to a south facing window but it's not getting completely baked out in my lawn or anything. Is this normal/fixable?
Thanks for the advice, my place is air conditioned but it's an old house so I'll have to keep a closer eye on humidity as well. If I had to do surgery would that entail just chopping off the entire section or just removing the blackened parts?
I think most of us who moved here from Reddit are enjoying our time here on kbin.social. We've left a lot of the riff-raff behind us and made new friends with intelligent, thoughtful members of kbin, Lemmy, Mastodon, etc.....
Frankly I think we need more people before we can start getting concerned about things like that. If we're trying to make the Fediverse a viable alternative it has to be appealing and easy enough to use that people want to use it. If we don't get that right this whole thing is doomed from the start
At first everything about this was infuriating but now I want to see the entire C-suite of Meta and Twitter face off in gladiatorial combat, and we can stream it all on twitch and bet on who will live
Mods made a poll to ask whether to extend the blackout or re-open. After accusations of brigading, mods created a second, more secure poll. The option to extend the blackout wins by a 18% margin.

As the fediverse continues to grow, let's reflect on some of the things that we disliked most about posting/lurking on reddit and what we can do differently now that we have a chance to build something new.
Stable Diffusion revolutionised image creation from descriptive text. GPT-2, GPT-3(.5) and GPT-4 demonstrated astonishing performance across a variety of language tasks.

Yeah it does not portend well for the future, especially combined with the current explosion of low quality, profit driven content. I fear if left unchecked we could approach some kind of Kessler Syndrome-style scenario where desire for rapid growth and profit will poison the well in the long term. "Garbage in, garbage out"
It might be a good idea to have comment replies turned on by default, I feel like it'll help drive discussion/engagement but that's ultimately up to the devs
It would help alot If telecom/internet infrastructure was treated like our other infrastructure. Not to mention the literal billions of dollars in fraud that companies like Verizon and Comcast get away with. I still get mad when I think about how they were given massive sums of money to expand fiber optic infrastructure and gave themselves bonuses instead.
So ive had a phone for a bit now but i struggle at finding game sand apps to put on it especially free ones. its kinda mid range dphone it cant run genshin impact at all but it runs stuff like battle cats really well i also struggle at finding good or useful apps to download so if you know any please suggest some or something.
Sure, they're going to be an adult company now and turn all of those memes, anime and genital pics into sweet sweet ad money, just like a real megacorp!
A Scanner Darkly is an incredibly moving and haunting novel to anyone who's ever struggled with drug addiction. For a nonfiction book probably "Kill Anything That Moves" which is about the horrifying and infuriatting reality of the U.S. war in Vietnam, and "The Hot Zone" by Richard Preston

I haven't been on reddit in a few days but before I left I recall seeing someone post a github link that touted something like that for lemmy instances. Haven't found anything for kbin but I know there are tools out there for scraping data/images/etc from different subreddits and users
Here's an archive.org link of the /r/datahoarder post I saw, the downloader tools at the bottom are probably most of interest but still some good links/info there:
I'm currently getting by with a mixture of Design Spark Mechanical, FreeCAD, and OpenSCAD for prototyping/editing files, I'd love to find a good alternative that isn't from a predatory company like Autodesk
Me too, I think reddit is going to keep enough bootlickers to stay running but I hope the fragmentation will result in a better and more interesting internet. Anyone here old enough to remember the days of TOTSE?
As a reddit migrator myself, I ended up here because it seems like the best open source version of reddit. But I have a few bugs and problems that I can't find a solution:...
One thing that helped me get a handle on things was creating my own magazine and just playing around with it. Magazines = subreddits, and articles = threads. An article is meant to be more text based, and you can also select the option to upload pictures/links to the magazine instead. I haven't messed with the whole microblog section but if you select "add post" it will upload to the microblog of the selected magazine instead of the thread list. Boosts are different from likes in that they boost your personal 'reputation' instead of ranking thread popularity.
Overall I really like the level of customization kbin offers, definitely needs some UI improvements but it kinda feels like a hyperpowered version of reddit once you get used to it.
