Fair, but you can still post about it in the more general cars communities, no?

Even Reddit didn’t start with all these specialized subs. It started without subs at all, actually. And then the big general subs were born, and only later the niche subs were born because the signal to noise ratio in the big ones got too bad. Post your content here in the general communities until the signal to noise ratio warrants a dedicated offshoot.

This advice generalizes. There aren’t enough fans of each sports team here yet to have team specific communities, but there are enough fans of each sport to have general communities for that sport. Branch later.

“space music” – I played Mass Effect 1 long ago and got hooked on the idea of musicians trying (and often failing) to make music for futuristic settings. This is like Star Trek episodes that reference classical music but some person has to predict what classical music will sound like in 2300. So they go with with future retro stuff and it just tickles me. So I seek out these sorts of experimental musical pre-trend predictions cause they’re often hilarious.

There are dedicated communities on Lemmy to these things – and they’re pretty quiet. Post new content there and engage in conversations and be the change you want to see.

I think it is a common high school shop class project. Or similar.

It’s interesting that it is smooth specifically in the x direction, but the y direction has more abrupt changes.

This is a weird presentation. Was someone trying to make a minecraft mod or something?

Saw (or rather heard) a few at a football game recently. They’re still here, but at least it isn’t a stadium full.

Instead we use cowbells like God and nature intended ;)

That truly is beautific

Nice perspective.

What would you consider to be a contribution of value? Posting? Comments? Moderating? Installing a server rack in your closer for nightly backups? What would you suggest a minimum contribution for continued use should be?

Was playing slo-pitch (beer league rec baseball), pitching. The other team was short one player, so when the missing player came up to bat, there would be an automatic out.

It’s bottom of the last inning and we’re tied, two outs. Batter in the box and “automatic out” is on deck. My shortstop says: “if you walk this batter, they cannot win.” I decline, and throw decent pitches - our thirdbaselady makes a perfect line drive catch to preserve the tie. Walking off the field, I say the the shortstop.

“I couldn’t do it. If I walk the batter, then after the game when I go touch myself – I wouldn’t have enjoyed it.” The bench dies laughing.

Daaad, get off the interent.

I worked on open source software for over a decade (KDE). When we started having in person conferences, that’s the first time money changed hands. And even then, the conference attendance was free. Viewed through this lens of experience, this feels like an attempt to earn money from the fediverse for running video chats, rather than a grassroots effort.

Old man yells at cloud.

Chillout ambient. Basically, the Mass Effect 1 soundtrack affected my whole musical library. I ask myself – would this music sound cool in a bar in Mass Effect? If the answer is yes, it’s probably on theme.

Solar Fields - Leaving Home

Boooooo.

For messages, I have “(arrow noise) Message for you sir!” from Monty Python and the Holy Grail.

For ringtones and alarms I have the defaults for any device.

Paid online event? Weird. What happened to IRC for these sorts of meetings. I’m old.

It’s statistically improbable, but possible Almost all minerals you’ll find in the wild are bog standard ones.

Tangent about slate, shale, and clay. One of the diagnostic properties is “grain size”. To determine if soil is clay or silt sized particles, one of the common tests is: rub it on a tooth – if it feels smooth, the particles are clay sized. Slate and shale are clay minerals, and will feel smooth on a tooth if rubbed in the direction of the grain. If it doesn’t feel smooth, then it’s a siltstone or similar.
