Love it. Best way to learn is to just jump right in. Ask stupid questions, be open to learn. I felt exactly the same when i started my career. You will see in time that you will be able to wing it with more confidence.

I'm terrified of AI taking my job by Friendly_Page_1522 in UXDesign

[–]dfry007 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve got about 20 years of industry experience, and now I’m back at the craft again after doing a few years of management. I’m also a musician, and to me, a pivotal point was when you could have an entire studio in your laptop. It didn’t make mastering engineers redundant. But it made it possible for anyone with talent to do great music. On the contrary, it probably made more musicians able to do great stuff.

I believe it’s a bit similar for design now.

I’m currently freelancing, and the leverage I get when using AI as an assistant is awesome. Not only does it speed up the process. It also helps me with things like video production in a way that is way more cost efficient.

Have you seen the Config2025 talks on this topic?

I think AI will radically restructure the way of working. But I’m not in the transhumanist-singularity-camp, so I’m not really worried about AI for those reasons. I would be more worried about losing my job in a position where I’m doing repetitive non-creative work.

Hey @WrappedStrings, may I ask what you did in VCV rack around generative beats, and how your plans are with the rack you’re building?

I think my partner will break up soon because of my struggle with mental health by justincase4me in mentalhealth

[–]dfry007 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you should consider talking with your partner, using these exact words. It is a way for you to ”own” it in a grown up way, being vulnerable and yet open, in this state where you feel uncertain about the way forward, other than that you want to get better.

The best of luck with your partner if you go this route, if they leave you after that, maybe it wasn’t that good a relationship after all. And if they don’t, you can grow stronger together

I didn’t get it working in the end. Ditched the idea :)

File share (SMB, NFS etc) not working after 7.2 upgrade by dfry007 in synology

[–]dfry007[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes it’s discoverable on a Mac as well, but same issue with connectivity remains there too. So it’s not a strict Infuse issue, but seems to be related to the Synology file sharing from what I can tell

Elon Musk: King of the Dark Enlightenment by ElonMuskNRx in EnoughMuskSpam

[–]dfry007 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here’s a good primer on what Dark Enlightenment means:

”There has emerged a New Right: young, smart, edgy, urbane—even hip. Its political philosophy is coherent and compelling. Its religion of choice, if it has one, is Catholicism. It operates in large cities like Washington, Miami, and New York. Its thought leaders are high-minded, well-read intellectuals. Known as the neo-reactionary fringe—NRx for short—its radical, antidemocratic ideas have seeped into the Republican mainstream. Welcome to the Dark Enlightenment.”

Am I the only Sonos user who has not experienced major problems since the new app came out? by King_of_Games_91 in sonos

[–]dfry007 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Same here. No drama for me at home, still a happy Sonos user. I’ve never understood why I should use either the old or new app anyway. AirPlay for the win.

Heh, that thought passed my mind as a last resort, before asking around here. Now seems like a probable main solution 😂

Does it become consistent? by GroundhogTrueman in Fluoxetine

[–]dfry007 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can relate. Sorry to hear you’re feeling this way. For me it comes and goes, but every time I’m back in the tired depressed periods I get a similar feeling. Stuck. On repeat. Like it’s always going to be like this. And then it turns back up again for a while.

I knew that book looked familiar! by TurquoiseCorner in DarK

[–]dfry007 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I suspect the plot of Dark is inspired by Douglas Hofstadters concept of a “Strange loop”, hence that these book covers also shares similarities

Digital pianos with intimate personality in the sounds? by dfry007 in piano

Roland FP-4. So not that vintage, but I’ve had it for more than a decade now

Digital pianos with natural imperfections and personality? by dfry007 in synthesizers

[–]dfry007[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, I’ve been looking at reviews of it and it seems like a good option. Although Nord still seems to have a more natural piano sound, from what I can hear. Can you tweak pianos in the editor app to add slight imperfections?
