  • I’ve used powershell in previous jobs and if you learn it really well I cannot deny it is super powerful.

    For a college project, a friend of mine somehow made a hexadecimal file dumper with it, with formatting and everything (think like what you would see in wireshark) in one, reasonably long, line of powershell.

    However I’m just not a big fan of it personally for syntactical reasons (even with the syntax being super logical) and much prefer bash, or other unix-like native shells. I’ve been thinking about taking zsh for a spin recently to see what it’s like.








  • As far as I understand it, lemmy is a hub for anything and everything anyone wants it to be.

    You can block instances, communities, and accounts to resolve the problem as you see it if you wish, but in my opinion the real move is to learn to be able to read anything and everything in order to obtain the widest view possible without allowing it to affect you personally.

    I feel that if people learned to respond honestly and rationally without logic fallacies and worrying about things as paltry as votes, then we would be better off ultimately.

    That’s not to say that it is easy - but I firmly believe it would be beneficial, specifically because I think it would cut down on echo-chamber effects.






  • All this over a song?

    Clearly not if you read any of what I have said.

    If it really wasn’t worth anyone’s time, we wouldn’t be five paragraphs deep into personality diagnostics and fallacy name-drops.

    More Tu Quoque. You should think out an argument that holds at least a drop of weight before you speak, otherwise it just reinforces that you don’t have an argument in the first place.

    clearly, I struck a chord

    Oh I don’t think so. Given you used AI to generate the music instead of playing it yourself, I’d be quite surprised if you knew how to play a chord in the first place.

    Please enjoy the exact same reaction with whatever you should put on the internet next time, because if you don’t make changes based on criticism, you will only achieve the same result.

    Bye.


  • Again, you should follow the link from my initial message that will explain Tu Quoque to you, because you are doing it again.

    To avoid criticism, you are just criticizing the fact that I have made criticism instead of responding to the actual arguments that comprise it.

    Unfortunately that doesn’t really work in this case since I have never critiqued your music, I have only critiqued your arguments against others who have critiqued your music.

    This is made very clear by the fact that I have not once stated I did not personally like it, and yet you are trying to throw that out as a counter argument.

    This as well as you referring to 13 sentences as a college thesis, as well you clearly not having followed my link on Tu Quoque very much tells me that you haven’t even read my comments (or if you have, haven’t tried to understand what I have said) in order to establish any reasonable counter argument to my criticism.

    As a result, I’ll just take your last comment here as evidence you cannot support your position in favor of your music, which I really can’t blame you for because your position is paper-thin and not really possible to defend if anyone takes more interest than a passing glance.

    Additionally, the idea that you posted this on the internet, on a forum with comments, and then tell commenters “you could’ve just scrolled on like the rest of the internet’s unpaid critics” makes it pretty evident you have unreasonable expectations.

    Would you prefer everyone scrolled on instead of commenting at all? Would you prefer no one took more interest in what you made than a passing glance? If that’s the case, the best case scenario for you here that you are describing is if there were no comments and no votes on your posts, and if you prefer that over criticism, I can only expect you do not care enough about your own work to improve upon it based on criticism.

    If that is what you want, then you should have made your post in Microsoft Word, where no one could see it. That way no one would be able to criticize it or you. Since you did not do this, it is clear it is not what you actually want.

    It implies that you just want to be worshipped for anything you make regardless of how little or how much effort you put into it, or what anyone thinks about it, which shows you as being quite narcissistic, or in the least, fairly immature.


  • It sure is - that’s how society works pal. People are allowed to like or dislike whatever they do or do not.

    Do you have any political opinions whatsoever? Then by god, you better be running for office.

    Otherwise that’s like critiquing politicians without ever having passed a bill into law yourself.

    See what I mean?

    You can have opinions on politics without being a politician, you can have opinions on what food you like without being a chef, you can have opinions on what clothes you like without being a tailor, and you can have opinions on what music you think is good without being a musician.

    It also doesn’t matter if you understand the process, it only matters what people think of the result. A painter doesn’t expect clients or anyone who views their art to understand why they chose oils over acrylics, they only care that the art can be enjoyed (even if its just themselves who enjoys it), but again, they don’t expect to sell the art unless other people enjoy it.

    I highly suspect you would not make this claim about people understanding the process if people said they thought what you made was good.

    If every comment had positive feedback for you, would your response to them be “Yea but what you are saying doesn’t count, because you don’t understand the process I used”?

    I doubt that. It is only because it is negative feedback you have decided to utilize Tu Quoque (criticizing criticism) under the guise of a No True Scotsman (no real producer would say this because they understand the process of what I have done, so this criticism does not count) fallacy.

    In reality, it doesn’t matter. Artists who go platinum dont have millions of listeners because all of those listeners know how sidechain compression works or something, they have them because those people think the music is good for whatever reason they decide.
