Yeah, pretty much this. Would have been best had he never bothered with 3d printed and manufactured parts as they allow a level of control (or illusion thereof) that would have never been possible with wood. Who cares if you’re losing a couple of marbles during a show (no pun intended), or if the snare drum isn’t tight to the thousandth of a second?

Hate to say it, but Wintergatan and his Marblemachine X. In the earlier days his videos were an exciting mix of mad genius, cool music improv and crafting. Then he became obsessed with making the machine play tight, precise music to a level that is beyond what anybody in an audience would be able to hear, and it became obvious that the machine would never get finished because he was stuck in an improvement loop.

These sticks look super uncomfortable to use though

Niagara Launcher for me. Love the minimalistic approach!

Grayjay has completely replaced NewPipe for me because it automatically updates my subscriptions

Agreed, NewPipe is awesome. The only thing I wish it had was an actual feed of my subscriptions, not just a list of my subscribed channels that I have to manually refresh to get their new videos.

Comments like yours wouldn’t fly on any properly moderated community

Hey, you’re officially the first person I block on Lemmy!

Genuine question with no intention to talk down on someone: how are there adults that don’t know how to cook at least the basics? My mother told me a story about how she went on a trip at school and a teacher that apparently had never cooked before wanted to make spaghetti by putting them in the cold water and then boiling them. Ended up with a huge fused chunk of pasta. How can you not know how to at least make pasta as an adult? Parents and then partner that always cook for you?

That’s like saying playing video games for 10 hours every day isn’t a sign of addiction because it devalues the gaming hobby.

Social Media addiction is a real thing. Every single popular social media app is designed to draw people in and keep them using it. The “drag down to refresh” is literally copied from slot machines.

?

It does. But while in English you could easily say something like “you son of a bitch, you did it” to a friend, you wouldn’t do the same with Hurensohn in German as this would offend most people.

Should be noted that Hurensohn in German is a lot harsher than son of a bitch in English

“I think it’s very easy to convince people they are wrong.”

“Actually, here’s all these studies that prove that the opposite is-”

“Well I don’t believe that.”
