This is the second Tuesday I’ve felt absolutely wiped.
Must be something in the water…

Got my Edifier headphones today and I have a good first impression of them. Audio over USB just worked and I’ve connected them to my phone and work computer over bluetooth. Audio quality is pretty good. Honestly, you can’t complain for $60 that are just going to be work headphones

Today I am listening to some classic electronic and ambient music
Oxygene www.youtube.com/watch?v=FlURDUaB27o

Been a while since I’ve heard Jean. Really good stuff. Hugely impacted EDM.
On oxygene just two of the synths he used today (not his actual ones they’d be worth a fortune) is close $100k which is nuts.
Here’s one:
reverb.com/au/item/22370628-ems-vcs3-1969
These days you can emulate it on the 'puter for $20 (and get close to the sound ‘but never quite there’).

electronic music was different then, seemed simpler
But I’m very far from knowing anything, it’s just how I experience it as a listener
“and get close to the sound ‘but never quite there” , humans are just incredible at discerning differences in sound

I read the local papers from cities i used to live and read the most heartbreaking story from Detroit. A woman let two of her children die of the cold, she just had too many children, they all lived in a van and she couldn’t look after them. It’s like something out Gorky’s My Childhood. She could have gotten help, it’s not like there is none, but I expect she was depressed and isolated. 😔

I don’t know about public or charity mental health services.
The bad thing is that the weather is very cold people will die of the cold. So people who refuse to be helped are in danger.

It’s been a while since I’ve posted YouTube links on Lemmy, (like as a post and not in comments).
Maybe forget but, I copy link from YouTube and paste into the URL section in the create post page and normally generates a post title automatically that I just click on
That doesn’t seem to work now? Am I forgetting something?
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 2 months ago
I’ve tested it out and it seems you have to type in the title yourself.
useless_modern_god@aussie.zone 2 months ago
Hmm ok thanks
Bottom_racer@aussie.zone 2 months ago
Just tried a bunch of times on the testing community and couldn’t get it going.
useless_modern_god@aussie.zone 2 months ago
Ok thanks, it used to generate a post title automatically dunno what happened there. Maybe YouTube shenanigans blocked it or something

I had to reset my online access to the libraries. Looking at my history I can’t even remember half the books in it.
just_kitten@aussie.zone 2 months ago
I had a rather vivid but weird dream that I mostly can’t remember except it involved having to take a break on a road trip somewhere subtropical due to heavy rain and being welcomed at a stranger’s place where they had us sit down for dinner with them and it was jovial and lovely. The guy was a taxi driver.
The most memorable part was that the guy started making tomato sauce using powder from a packet 🤔

I had a dream about finding my boyfriends pyjamas in the form of wide leg jeans in Cotton On (they’re really awesome Catzilla jamis) and while I was contemplating buying them I discovered that a boba tea place in Eastland was actually using their tea to fuel experiments and making people deranged. Then I ate ramen with some random people and when I went to pack up my duffle bag, there was sooo much random stuff in it that I’d never seen before.
Dreams are so weird.
just_kitten@aussie.zone 2 months ago
That’s actually pretty rad. I love me some deranged tea conspiracies - out of Eastland no less. Now I need to look for these jammies…

Had to make a phone call at work today and my words came out as mumble jumble. All I had to say was, “The machine was broken.” I find that my communication is terrible in the morning. I tend to think of what I was supposed to say after the fact.
I’m going to have to give up caffeine and somehow sleep earlier. It will improve my mental health too.
SituationCake@aussie.zone 2 months ago
Better sleep is a good start, but rest assured occasionally fumbling a sentence or two happens to everyone. You can always say something like, let me start again, and laugh it off with the person you’re talking to. No one will care, it’s a normal part of conversations.

Very productive work day
