So meditation is just one small piece of what is ultimately mindfulness. But meditation is not necessarily the answer. For example, it's completely possible to meditate mindlessly. Mindfulness can sound esoteric (and it certainly feels

I'm surprised no one here has mentioned mindfulness (is briefly mentioned in the article). It pretty much solves this problem. But I guess that's part of the issue, is that the problem directly obfuscates the solution, so the prob

Hopefully it fixes the MIDI input lag. Still using version 3 as a result.

The fact they managed to achieve this astounds me. I grew up with the PS3 as a teenager, and I just remember being told how complex the architecture was, as well as just how powerful the system was. Keep in mind, the US Air force connected

Your response is resource blind, and is part of the problem why we're in the predicament we're in. Think of the amount of resources that a doctor consumes in the services they provide, from all the medical equipment to the medicin

Can you name a modern society that doesn't aim to maintain positive economic growth year on year?

by dottjt 3y ago
You're conflating two separate things. Yes, society can collapse multiple times. Yes, there can be innumerable resource-driven collapses. These are given. What I'm referring to is the literal running out of the necessary resources
279.
by dottjt 3y ago
I think the thing that people miscalculate is that resource-depletion-driven collapse happens once. Everything the happens prior to the collapse is largely irrelevant, irrespective of how nice life was prior to the collapse. Ultimately we l

Games. It's the same reason I also own a Nintendo Switch. By the same token, I would happily own an Xbox as well if it had the games I want, but it's severely lacking in that department.

I think part of the reason for this is accessibility. If you're using a screen reader, then I think this approach makes sense.

The main reason is not necessarily because of the information presented today, but because of the years upon years of information the platform currently contains. If I want to learn something technical (for example, music production) I&#x27

I think a big limitation with VR headsets in general, is that if you have a morning facial routine (moisturiser, sunscreen etc.), it smears all of the headset. In fact, it's probably the primary reason why I stopped using my Quest 2. I

Kind of crazy, I was literally looking for a solution to this about an hour ago, and then this popped up.

Having eagerly bought the Quest 2 as a first-time VR enthusiast, I don't think I'll be buying the Quest 3, or any other headset for a while. The problem is the software. There just isn't enough high quality software of it bei

I disagree with this sentiment, but I also think it comes down to how you approach music. For me at least, music originates from my imagination. It starts in my head, not from playing an instrument, so to speak. I say this as a composer, no

Personally, I don't really like the Push platform, having previously owned a Push 2. I can understand the value of it if you're performing live, however the hard reality is that it's a really inefficient way to create electro

You can turn off track comping, you need to turn off the overdub button (that big plus sign in the top left). What parts of the audio editing is weak to you? In my opinion, it's one of the strongest things it offers. I assume you'

Bitwig, by far. It's more-or-less the same program (made by ex-Ableton devs), just well designed for 2023. With that said, Ableton has the advantage of being more mature. What I mean by that, is that the stock plugins are generally bet

by dottjt 3y ago
I've switched from Ableton to Bitwig and man, you don't realise how behind Ableton is until you try Bitwig. I think it's a case of death by a thousand cuts with Ableton. For example, Ableton does not have customisable shortcu

I get the sense that a lot of these suspensions are due to the moderation teams within twitter being decimated, and instead having all this functionality automated within Twitter.

I think the issue is that ChatGPT can already generate better responses than I personally can. Like, a lot of the time I'll have an interesting perspective that I just can't be bothered articulating, whereas ChatGPT will formulate

Well I mean, if at the end of the day the primary game is engagement, I don't think the right answer really will matter any more, at least in the broader context of a discussion forum.

Yeah, fair enough. I think I'm more used to posting on Reddit, where I think there's an expectation that you're offering something, in exchange for the information that others will provide. So I feel kind of dirty just asking

Okay, so this is what I find interesting about this post. I actually posted this exact same thing a few days ago, and admittedly at the time, I was fairly confident that it wouldn't kick off because the title was kind of half-arsed and
