fantastic for someone like me who doesn’t know shit about networks and file sharing yet has a mix of windows and linux machines

yea both are utterly cool

It’s helpful if given a partition (with sharps or flats duly noted in the key signature), of which you want to quickly know the key -thus the tonic chord, usually the one any given song begins and ends with… broadly speaking. With this mnemonic you can immediately tell what the key is and start playing. Of course most people who play an instrument have developed their ear so that they can find the key of most songs they hear intuitively/empirically, the trick is useful with a partition only.

Thank you but as the solar system as my witness that is such an absolutely terrible way to keep track of quantities

Fa Do Sol Ré La Mi Si
(F…C…G…D…A…E…B)

this is the order in which sharps go. Gives you the tonality of a given song. Let’s say the song takes 4 sharps- take the last one (Ré/D), add a half-tone to it (Mi/E), there it is, your song is in E major

It works with flats as well, in the reverse order (Si Mi La Ré Sol Do Fa). Take the next-to-last flat, that is your tonality.

Upvoted because it’s an imprtant contribution, not because I agree with it.

Yes, yes and yes. Unless it is overrun/diverted by bots & shills, which is a corruption silently allowed by reddit to serve its corporate agenda. Reddit, being proprietary and closed-source, does not disclose the specifics of its voting system, which grants it some plausible deniability in the face of accusations of bias. Lemmy and Kbin etc have the advantage of being opensource, transparent, forkable, etc. whether or not you’re in line with its creator’s political standing.

How old does that make them?

My wife has a few of these. Absolutely absurd beliefs that have no leg to stand on

C++ is the next version of C+

gotcha. Thanks. I do like time capsules ! but sometimes put off by the creaking, so to say. I did hear Black Mesa was very respectful of the original however

I have played some of it but got bored. I love long intros and anything narrative so that was not an issue. I think I was put off by the rigidity of the gameplay itself. But I really do want to play through it. Cheers

I haven’t played through Half-Life anyway so I’ll do them all at some point. Would you recommend I play the original HL, or Black Mesa? do they work on Linux?

Ah, I should play that

What about Half Life: Barney ?

damn there I am simping for a company again. Promised myself it wouldn’t happen after Sega

I learned the basics from Sonic the Hedgehog and Streets of Rage. Ready… Start! Time up! Game over! Marble zone! All useful phrases when abroad.

For the anecdote, and to pile on the testimonies saying it’s also happening in their corner of the world :

we’re also running out of water in Mayotte (Mozambique Channel). They’re building a new desalination plant right now, but the impact studies say it’s likely going to kill the nearby mangrove and coral reef (which is already rapidly shrinking). Rainy season has been diminishing for the past decade and the island is overpopulated with refugees from Comoros, which is essentially a dictatorship. They live in slums which the french government regularly razes, when cyclones don’t take care of it. Desalination is a good solution all in all, but it requires ungodly amounts of power, which we generate… with a petrol generator. Because of fucking course we do

comes up with tactics as the name implies

Nigerian english accent is super cool

I guess Kenyan too but am slightly more familiar with the Nigerian accent
