Mass genocide requires forethought
  • What are you going on about?

  • Speakers of non-English languages, what common mistakes do native speakers make that drive you crazy?
  • Oh trust me, it happens a lot even between native speakers, and it irks me too haha

  • Speakers of non-English languages, what common mistakes do native speakers make that drive you crazy?
  • From a quick search that didn't provide anything really insightful, it seems that at least in Italian the term has been used since the XIV century, so it's not photocopy related

  • Speakers of non-English languages, what common mistakes do native speakers make that drive you crazy?
  • Wait, the resemblance thing is also used in other languages: "spitting image" in English, for example, and "copia sputata" in Italian. I'm actually wondering for the first time where it comes from, so maybe there's a reason for the Portuguese saying to be related to spit

  • The death of ownership: Companies are taking away your ability to actually own the stuff you buy
  • Why does this read like a list written by chatGPT?

  • ‘It’s the same daily misery’: Germany’s terrible trains are no joke for a nation built on efficiency
  • Italian here

    We give a lot of shit to our train system (and rightly so) but it actually works quite well, in comparison to our European neighbours.

    Bologna to Milano is a very nice line indeed

  • I got that reference!

  • The Fairphone 5 is less about what comes in the box and more about what you get over the years
  • I agree with you, but why would you make a calla and listen to music at the same time?

  • *Permanently Deleted*
  • I have the same surname as one of the most important composers in music history from the 1500-1600. It wouldn't be so bad if I wasn't a musician, and a composer specifically, myself.

    Every people I've interacted with in my trade has made some remarks on it, and if someone searches "[name] composer" they obviously won't get to my music!

  • Infinite HP (kinda spoilerish?)
  • Yep, that's exactly what I do

  • I play with god mode on and i am not ashamed
  • Change difficulty before levelling up, multiclass, then change difficulty back

  • Consigli per zaino da viaggio

    Stavo cercando degli zaini da viaggio, in grado di contenere roba per star fuori qualche giorno, ma anche esteticamente carini da poter essere usati tutti i giorni (ho comunque uno stile abbastanza utilitarista, quindi non ho problemi a portarmi in giro uno zaino grosso).

    Su Amazon però trovo solo marche cinesone, SZLX, Homiee, Bagzy... che costano relativamente poco, quindi sono best seller, ma i materiali sono decisamente inferiori, e la durata nel tempo è sicuramente limitata.

    Avete consigli, magari anche di marche italiane?

    ‘Gigantic’ power of meat industry blocking green alternatives, study finds
  • No, because the subject is "the power", which is singular.

  • what are good spell or skill combinations you use in combat
  • Hex puts a disadvantage on checks, not saves

  • Question about team comp and synergies.
  • I’m curious what led to your decision to build your party in that way? Stats only or conversation options? Plot remixing?

    Basically, I like those characters and their interactions haha I will surely keep changing the party for story needs, like I'll do the creche story with Lae'zel and the Karlach encounter with Wyll.

    Still, I'm pretty happy with that suboptimal comp: yesterday I managed to beat the spider queen under Blighted Village with a lvl3 party, Shart with 1 lvl1 spell slot, Gale with 2 lvl 2 slots and everyone at less than half hp. Some smart use of bombs and invisible Imp to destroy the eggs, Firebolts to make the spiders fall down and I ended the fight in 3 turns or so, without anyone dying.

  • Found the best weapon in the game!
  • So that's why salami shows up if I filter for "equipment" in the inventory!

  • Question about team comp and synergies.
  • Wow thanks! That's a very in-depth build! I'll surely experiment with this, since respeccing isn't that expensive

  • Question about team comp and synergies.

    My character is a GOOlock, and I'd like to play with Shadowheart, Gale and Astarion as companions. I'll be open to future companions, like Halsin and Karlach, but I'd avoid Wyll (and possibly Lae'zel, but I could swap her in if necessary) in this playthrough.

    What are their best build to syngerize between them? I'd keep their main class, but I'm open to suggestions about spells, abilities and build.

    Ecate (la mia gatta) - Frip-cat-ronics

    Stavo sperimentando con tecniche di Frippertronics e loop degradati nello stile di William Basinsky, quando nelle cuffie sento "miao".

    Ovviamente ho subito iniziato a registrare la mia gatta, Ecate, che a gran voce reclamava che le aprissi la porta perché voleva uscire.

    Il "Frippertronics" è una tecnica inventata da Terry Riley, importantissimo compositore minimalista, e così chiamata da Brian Eno, importantissimo compositore minimalista, in onore di Robert Fripp, importantissimo comp- no, chitarrista dei King Crimson. Consiste nell'utilizzare due registratori a nastro così da creare lunghissimi delay e fasce armoniche sovrapposte.

    Il compositore minimalista William Basinksy ha utilizzato loop di vecchi nastri magnetici, lasciati riprodurre fino al disgregamento completo (disintegration loops).

    Come si può notare, mi piace molto il minimalismo, e stavo sperimentando su come realizzare queste tecniche "in the box", cioè utilizzando plugin virtuali, tutto al pc e senza registratori a nastro (perché pesano e costano un sacco) in Reaper. Stay tuned for new releases!

    tagli di capelli maschili?

    Da secoli ho sempre richiesto un taglio "normale", cioè corto ai lati e dietro, e leggermente più lungo sopra. Però è veramente noioso lol, le donne hanno molte più possibilità per farsi belle, da quel punto di vista.

    Io ho i capelli boccolosi che fanno il cespuglio se lasciati crescere (quindi poco estetico e soprattutto molto caldo), e al momento ho una treccina da 25cm stile padawan dietro l'orecchio sinistro.

    Idee? Consigli? Cose strane da provare?

    I asked ChatGPT to create a five years music theory and music education course plan

    I asked ChatGPT about a five years music theory and music education course from beginners (not necessarily children, but they would be the main focus for the first two to three years). There would be 30 lessons per year.

    Vorrei creare una community sullo studio della musica/teoria musicale (come era r/musictheory)

    Titolo, perché non ne trovo una su lemmy.

    Non necessariamente in italiano, anzi, preferirei qualcosa di più international, e la mia domanda è: mi conviene comunque crearla su feddit.it, oppure è meglio su un'altra istanza? Per creare community su altre istanze posso utilizzare il mio account feddit, oppure è possibile farlo solo con un account legato all'istanza scelta (ad esempio, lemmy.world)?

    I can't upload (some) pics from my phone with the app

    It says "value <html> of java.lang.String cannot be convert..." and then it cuts off.

    It mainly happens with pictures I took with my camera, or I already had on my phone. Case in point, I can upload the frog but not my cats.

    I'm currently using a second hand GTX1050ti (Yeah, I know lmao), and the next big games I really want to play are Baldur's gate 3 and Starfield.

    My other specs are quite beefy, since this is also my work computer: Ryzen 9 5900X 64GB RAM ddr4

    My monitor has a 1080p resolution, with a 60Hz refresh rate and I'm pretty happy gaming with that. Would an rx6700xt suffice? Is it overkill or just barely enough?

    Thanks!
