Sometimes, an individual can do everything "right", and yet disaster will still strike them. Sometimes, people act carelessly, but it is others pay the the bulk of the price.
Life is not fair. There is no higher mystical (or not) force that would make things just.
I strongly believe that the whole goal of the existence of "society" in general should be to make things easier for us. That everyone should strive to make things more fair. Have safety nets. Everyone should help protect each other, or at the very least, avoid harming others. We already have enough on our plates as living beings.
The world is a cruel place. We live. We suffer. We die.
Why not make the suffering lesser?
I know that it does not matter what I believe about what "should be" or how the world "would be" if people acted differently.
But somehow I just can't accept this. It would be easier to let go and accept things the way they are, but I just can't.
I did everything as right as I could, and yet I still got sick, and right now, I am losing more and more of myself, most likely as a more or less direct consequence of COVID. If everyone wore masks, the risk of that happening would have been smaller.
But there is no justice. Not in this world, not in any other.

Unless you act. The pandemic is not over. Wear a fucking mask.

Me, confused when seeing people posting under the NewPope hashtag:

Wait, did a new NewPipe update come out?
Oh wait, one letter difference... Well, nevermind then

#pl #vegan #queer #anarchist I hope I can meet some nice likeminded people here! I like #musicmaking #gaming #anime I am also a freshly converted #linux noob.
Mam nadzieję że uda mi się tu spotkać fajnych ludzi!

#introductions

I realized my bio is a mess, and there is a limit to pinned posts, so as a reply to my old #intro I am reposting all my music and art/multimedia links here:

Bandcamp:
https://xymmusic.bandcamp.com/music

Bandwagon:
https://bandwagon.fm/@xymmusic

Faircamp:
https://music.zeroes.ca/xymmusic/

Peertube:

@MediaActivist yes hehhe

Are there any peertube channels about architecture?

I want to look at some pretty buildings as someone with some knowledge explains them to me,
and i tried searching youtube...
but most of what I find is an AI generated voice saying some AI generated bullshit, mostly the words "seamlessly", " blends", and "stunning" with pictures that I am not sure if were made in CAD or also generated.

@Siph @HauntedOwlbear yeah that is a good guess, because this type of account looks fake very often

@HauntedOwlbear i had a couple of those trying to follow me and I just blocked them because they looked like bots, mass posting low quality stolen memes.
It is a pity.

What?
Not what I call bonkwave volume 3, disc B release party
Where?
https://party.bonkwave.org/
When?
8th November 21.00 UTC
Dress code?
None
What to expect?
Some bonked or unbonked sounds!

(My modest contribution is also on this disk!)

... And my small contribution to the compilation will be on disc B!

I am honestly very excited for the first disc of the new #bonk #notbonk conpilation. Can't wait to hear what everyone made!

The premiere is on
25th October, 20 UTC, on radio free fedi!
More info:
https://bonkwave.org/board/index.php?topic=101.0
The party will be here: https://party.radiofreefedi.net

To any new arrivals here on the fediverse - you are welcome here.
Any step one can make to move away from the domination of proprietary platforms, technologies and all kinds of billionaires and fascists, is a potentially good thing. Things might be confusing to you at first, as all change can be difficult. Things are definitely not perfect here either and the fediverse has its own set of problems, but there are many helpful and friendly communities here. I wish you that you find your people (and foxes, and cats etc)

I would also like to respectfully ask the people who moved here to refrain from calling yourself #TwitterRefugee or #RedditRefugee or anything like that. An alternative is simply saying that you left a certain platform, or moved away.
I would like to encourage you to learn more about what it is like to be a refugee, and if it is possible for you, consider donating to organizations that help refugees. One such example of an organization is: https://www.pah.org.pl/en/ukraine
Being a refugee is tied to a lot of harship and severe trauma, to put it mildly, and using this word to describe changing social media platforms is not adequate.

@MediaActivist we have indeed. A true consensus decision ;)

Does anyone know how to get sforzando and decent sampler working with LMMS on linux without jumping through hoops while grabbing your left ear with your right foot?
The standalone versions work just fine...
But they are useless to me if I can't use it with LMMS.
I managed to get sfz banks working with lmms by adding liquidsfz as a vst2 and loading it with carla but it sucks ass, I want to be able to use the functionality that sforzando has, such as adding a custom scala file in order to tune it, this is the whole reason I want to use it.
And loading it with liquidsfz gives me no options at all, and I would be better off just converting the sfz to sf2 through polyphone. Which is also a PITA. Maybe some other sampler would work? One that actually has install instructions other than "install it from source lol"?

"Switch to a better DAW" you might say. But which one? That works well on linux, is relatively simple, is free as in free beer, and is not for ants? I tried installing some demos of other linux daws but was unable to read or find anything on the screen and got frustrated after 30seconds. (I have frustration tolerance of a literal 5year old, not exagerating)
"I should go back to playing guitar"- oh wait i cant cause my hands are busted. Welp

I am submitting my visual novel called "There is no CCTV in heaven"
To the #FediJam
It is mostly finished, if I will be changing anything it will only be small bugs or typos and stuff like that.

My music release "one person disco" is out!

It is a somewhat danceable collection of slightly noisy microtonal "songs".
I made this for myself to be able to have a one person party in my living room. Feel free to join me by listening.
