Exactly! Nobody has to listen to OP and change plans because OP doesn't approve! Like you, OP is free to NOT use the product!

I understand the frustration, but that third paragraph suggests you're not very happy with yourself? I ask because everybody knows a country is not a sentient being with feelings and opinions; a country is just a variety of individuals with differing opinions. Anyway, flowers can grow even in junkyards; can we not find peace and the means to enjoy and improve ourselves... in any country?

This is the basis for every sovereign citizen (aka "sovcits"); isn't it? Doesn't sovereign citizenry really only make sense if a sovcit goes "all the way"? I ask this because sovcits seem to partake in society's services provided by the collective (like roads, traffic signals, police, firefighters, etc.) while complaining about state overreach when (1) they have to pay something like property tax or (2) when they have to deal with LE. I'm not saying you're wrong to have a sovcit mentality, but doesn't a sovcit have to stop using society's services and put up a real defense when LE gets involved? I'm not recommending you do either; I'm just saying while the system is flawed, at least, Western "democracies" have one. The alternative seems to be (1) leaving the country or (2) fighting anybody who threatens your sovereignty.

Yeah, it would be great to have to arm myself just to drive down the street because the dude at the corner decided to implement a toll to drive in front of his house. Lawlessness! The only law of the land under anarchy is might. The concept of "right" goes out the window.

I see God in it all. I don't believe all these "hi-tech features" would ever come about with random mutations causing an advantage from time to time. It's just too awesome imo. Oxygen, beauty, exuberant life, building materials... Water is equally miraculous imo. There's so much more!

I am simply "representing" my POV. I already know lots of people don't like anything religious, but if atheists can openly be themselves, doesn't everybody else have the same right? So, that's all this is. Just like Richard Dawkins and Keanu Reeves, I'm not interested in debate. I'm just representing.

I really got into Enterprise. They got into a lot of ethnic and cultural issues, and that really engaged me.

Why not use a web-based tool like LogMeIn, Teamviewer, Anydesk, etc.?

Amazing how the writers articulated the fact that some people IRL are disgusted by happiness and positive feelings.

 

The title links to a concert by Piknik (Пикник) in 2023. I'm curious to read the ideas you may have about their songs. I am intrigued by Piknik's music because, just like in every culture, these rock songs seem to come from the classical and/or folk traditions. I am not posting this for political reasons. It should be common knowledge that being Russian is not evidence of support/or non-support for Russia's government. Anyway, here is Piknik's official YouTube channel. You might want to explore the discography there.

Russia has a lot to offer musically both presently and historically. If you're into very melodic progressive (and often beautiful, imo) rock, I bet you'll love Inna Pivars and her "Histriones". If you prefer pop ear candy (and you have a stereo or earphones that does justice to the sound), I bet you'll love SBP4's Злой, which appears to be a song about a lady's mean boyfriend. Russia has its aging classic rockers also. Check out, if you wish, Уфа (means "Ufa", the name of a Russian city) by DDT. Isn't that a huge sound? If you close your eyes, can you imagine a darkened arena filled with concertgoers swaying back and forth, their cellphones and lighters in the air?

Anyway, this is an invitation for you to explore the rich music of Russia without thoughts of politics. Their classical and film music is amazing imo - especially the music composed for sci-fi animation and movies of the 60s. However, I'll stop dropping links because if this interests you, you'll either find it yourself, or you'll request more. Either way, Best. TD

 

After 2 or 3 days, I have to login again. I've googled, but have not found any Lemmy setting that would allow me to remain logged in longer than this. I suspect people are going back to Reddit simply because they're always logged in there - month after month. I suspect there is a setting the instance admin can change. I'm hoping that Lemmy.studio's owner can answer this question... or anybody. Thanks.

We're all at different stages of this. Some of us have recording studios, and others don't know how a guitar goes into a laptop. Many are in the middle, trying to figure out how to make mixes wider, reverbs deeper, and how to use compression to raise the LUFS without clipping. Rappers will seek sophisticated sounds while roots rockers will want the cleanest sounds they can get from the best mics. We all have different objectives. Hopefully this Lemmy community will help everybody, regardless the chosen path.
