What a wall of sound. I’ve never heard guitars quite like this album before or since.

4·2 years agoDoesn’t get much better than this. Heart-rending, in the best possible way
A quick google shows that a significant proportion of the arguments presented in this ‘movie’ have already been thoroughly debunked. For example, https://skepticalscience.com/climate-the-movie-a-hot-mess-of-cold-myths.html has a nice summary.

Linux@lemmy.ml•The Other Players Who Helped (Almost) Make the World’s Biggest Backdoor Hack
151·2 years agoFascinating read - interesting that the origin of the hack is not yet known (or at least, released). I wonder what the stats are on these sorts of exploits in OSS - the concept relies so much on trust and individuals.

2·2 years agoThanks for that - wasn’t aware of this and looks good
Ravel’s orchestration of Mussorgsky’s Pictures at an Exhibition is sublime.
Not an album I know well. For some reason I always gravitate to Love Over Gold and Making Movies - I know those albums like the back of my hand. Masterpieces, both of them. I must give this another listen

Music@beehaw.org•Understanding Even Flow - 12 Tone discusses homelessness by analyzing Pearl Jam
6·2 years agoGuess I’d never really listened properly to those lyrics. Makes sense it’s about homelessness… To be fair, it’s pretty bloody hard to understand what EV’s singing at the best of times.
I often wonder what changed about Pearl Jam’s songwriting - they never managed to recapture that same intensity that Ten had. Incredible debut, not a bad song on that album. Then Vs, a couple, maybe three dud songs. Vitalogy, maybe 50/50. Stopped listening pretty much after that. Certainly never bought another of their albums.
Like Vedder’s solo stuff tho.

Linux@lemmy.ml•Darktable 4.6 Open-Source RAW Image Editor Released, Here's What's New
2·2 years agoYes, and I understand the process pretty well I think, as well as what I’m striving to output (long time Lightroom user). But the DT just doesn’t respond how I expect it to, with unexpected results. Frustrating.
Wasn’t aware of the pixls site though; I like that idea!

Linux@lemmy.ml•Darktable 4.6 Open-Source RAW Image Editor Released, Here's What's New
111·2 years agoI really, really want to like Darktable, mostly because of the name lol. I must’ve tried it 8 or 10 times over the years, but I just can’t get my head around it. Something about the design language or the UI or something just doesn’t click for me and I can’t get decent images out of it. So I keep going back to Rawtherapee, even though I’d rather not…

Music@beehaw.org•What are some mistakes that were left in songs? Do you have a favorite?
6·2 years agoIt’s on the 2-and of the bar (the ascending arpeggio). Think the note is an E
Edit - on the 1-and. The lead in is beat 4 of the previous bar. So it’s the 4th note of the arpeggio

4·2 years agoI always thought it was a deliberate part of the track, but the internet insists it was a genuine double mistake and f-bomb from Billie Joe. Nice!

8·2 years agoI love the mis-fretted note in Stairway to Heaven at 3:30. Can’t unhear it and love that it’s never been dubbed out in all the various remasters etc.

4·2 years agoI’m like that with Green Day’s “Good Riddance” - the two attempts followed by a muffled “f$#k” are brilliant

Technology@beehaw.org•HP executive boasts that its controversial ink subscription model is "locking" in customers
16·2 years agoTo be fair, this has been pretty standard corporate-speak in most industries for a long time. It’s (typically) referring to giving people a reason to stay with your product - we used to use this exact phrase in reference to our complementary training programmes that were included with the product.
But, this is HP, so locked in means LOCKED IN. So, fuck HP 😂

Roads from the same concert is just heart rendingly good
