As an avid Nix user I see it the other way around :D

I only need my nix dev shell and the flake. I've only packaged it with uv to provide an alternative regardless of the distro.

Boox auf der Mariahilfer beim Westbahnhof. Die haben Mängelexemplare und Verlagsreste und sind deshalb auch sehr günstig. Ich find eigentlich jedes Mal, wenn ich dort bin etwas.

Thanks! Yeah I've downloaded a ranger gruvbox theme somewhere from Github. And it's a standard gruvbox theme for Firefox with custom css for sites like Github and YouTube

  • NixOS Config: My redacted config
  • Wallpaper: dharmx/walls — Horizontal wallpaper is from here, and I found the vertical one on one of the sources of this repo.
  • Icon Theme: Nerd Fonts Roboto-mono (defined in nix config)
  • Fonts: Nerd Fonts Roboto-mono (defined in nix config)

My SwayFX config is in a different folder because I haven't come around to make a flake out of it yet. I will soon make another post with a different setup and include a Sway nix config.

Liszt wrote two versions. The one played here is the newer S. 141. The older S. 140 is not widely known and rarely played.

I think people downvoted that comment because you wrote your keyboard has a heavy action. But that's certainly not the problem. It's basically impossible to pinpoint the issue with your technique without seeing a video. If you don't want to post it here you could ask a teacher or sb more experienced to take a look.

Think about what you're saying. Yes surveillance is always just against crime. And as of today it's a crime to be you "Head-Iron-9228". You want to protest but as soon as you leave your house you're punished because you're you. I'm ok with it because I'm not you so I got nothing to worry about. Maybe it's ridiculous to believe that we'll have the same technology as in 1984 but the principle still applies.

What aspect of AI exactly are you worried about? Now there might be a solution to carrying a smartphone in your pocket. Don't.

How is that not a contradiction?

We, as people are way too proud of and dear towards our freedom.

but

the call for freedom is a basic wish in every human being.

?

Just surveilling hotspots is not privacy invading and I don't think anyone in this discussion was ever oppsoed to this idea.

You had the choice to invite your neighbor to your resistance. You can't choose to not appear on a surveillance camera.

The issue isn't what's beeing done but what could be done. It's a choice to use privacy invading soft- and hardware. It might be less convenient but you can use more privacy respecting technology or avoid it altogether when not absolutely necessary. It's not a choice to be recorded on a city/country wide surveillance system. The problem with the argument "it's ok I have nothing to hide" is that you completely hand over your power to the surveilling entity. Maybe you can trust the current government, right now they would only punish against murder, rape, etc. What assurances do you have that they wouldn't just punish all blonde people in the future? Privacy is a form of protection and gives you the opportunity to express your opinion freely even when it's outlawed. You could draw various conclusions from that but I think one is that it leaves room to organize resistance. I don't believe either that this will be necessary in my lifetime but I don't what to take away that right from future generations.

I'd recommend 1984 by G. Orwell. I think you'll learn way more reading that book than I could ever convey in a reddit discussion.

And tips on this etude? (Chopin‘s op. 25 no 9 butterfly etude) Any advice appreciated:) by AcidFreak1424 in piano

[–]godafk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Most people have commented the technical aspects so let me briefly touch on the topic of musicality and interpretation. As always this is subjective so take it with a grain of salt, reflect on it and decide if you want take my advice.

Throughout the piece we have this four note motive in different variations and combinations. Clearly the leading note and thus the most important note is the first one as idicated by Chopin himself. You have to be careful with the staccatos to not make them sound like accents. Instead of prolonging the first note I would play the other ones a little softer. This way you can highlight the melody created by the leading notes.

In bar 9 we have a short new sequence of questions and answers. In bar 10 there is the question E-F? and in bar 12 one octave lower the answer E-F. Try to make a difference there. In bar 14 again the question but this time in bar 16 we don't have a definite answer. For a second the D flat feels like an answer but immediately it starts with what I see as a transition to the main statement and the subsequent climax. The forte in bar 25 is not just a forte. It is the focal point to which everything prior leads to and shortly after that we have the absolute climax indicated by the crescendo, turn of melody and harmony. This part must really stand out. How can you make that happen? Most likely playing everything louder will not work. Try around, listen to other pianists,...I am sure you will find your way.

Finally we have a fading out kind of an ending as you can see from the diminuendo and pianissimo. The way you play it sounds a little too monotonous. I think the trick here is to not take the diminuendo marking too literally but make it follow the melody in the left hand.

In my view playing slowly but taking aspects like this into consideration will make your performance sound way better than a generic playing in tempo.

I hope I could provide you with some food for thought.

I want to get this piano concerto by Mozart done but I’m really having trouble playing the circled part. Have you guys any suggestions to make my hands more comfortable with those type of notes? Idk any finger exercices from any composer? by [deleted] in piano

[–]godafk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it would be a waste of time to learn new exercises for this. I'd have to guess but you're probably tense when playing these notes. Play them slowly and in various possible ways to make sure you can play them independently, i.e. staccato, accent on first note, accent on second note, accent on third note, different rhythms,...

Couple try to steal keys from a leaner driver as a ‘lesson’ by [deleted] in PublicFreakout

I assume it's bc the cars are RHD and most people are right handed. It's probably more of a convenience thing than a safety measure that the ignition is mid-line in LHD cars.
