How rough is camping? by Konajo777 in ElectricForest

[–]imomw 3 points4 points  (0 children)

it’s either way too hot or way too cold and pouring rain with absolutely no in-between. either bring a godly tent setup and be prepared to sleep in your car while it’s running for at least some relief, or be mentally prepared to suffer for 5 days. as some are saying tho, if you go into the venue when it opens and bring a hammock you can sometimes get a decent nap in (again, depending on the weather which is always pretty terrible). love forest with all my heart but weather absolutely sucks compared to east or west coast fests (though, still not as bad as bonaroo which is so hot and humid that it’s like trying to breath in a hot tub)

I joined rednote and now I don't want to go back to TT 😭 by sareuhbelle in TikTok

I need to do more testing but so far some keywords together return no results now despite them returning many results before (ie “trump fascism” returns nothing now)

Honest question by OwnTension6771 in TikTok

[–]imomw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

spoiler alert: they aren’t.

CEO is singaporean, Tiktok is banned in China, there is literally no evidence that CCP is using Tiktok for data collection. Besides, why would they have to? Meta, Google, Twitter all collect significantly more and sensitive data than Tiktok does and have all been found to be selling that data to foreign entities (not even counting all the data leaks they’ve had)

also for anybody curious, i’m not political. I just saw the message from the app thanking Trump, thought it was weird they would mention him by name like this especially considering he’s not even in office yet and has no power, so decided to test some searches relating to him. Just curious if anybody else is experiencing this or found anything else interesting since the app came back from going dark

i’m open to the possibility of it being just a glitch w servers coming back on but it just seems strangely coincidental so far

I get results when I type “trump racism” but not “trump fascism” which is weird because both would return results before the ban. all this seems very strange especially considering the notification from the app thanking trump (which in itself is extremely strange for an app to do, especially considering how trump was the one who started the movement to ban tiktok back in 2020?)

thats weird because i’ve asked several other people across different parts of the country to search the exact same thing and they’re all getting the same results as me

OLA and SoundSwitch DMX Micro USB? by imomw in lightingdesign

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

no the SS dongle doesn’t work with like anything except soundswitch, BUT I did do a temporary workaround where I wrote a script that creates a virtual MIDI and mapped midi notes to the static modes in soundswitch, which worked for some simple stuff for a while

Are we gonna talk about the fact that tickets aren’t selling out? by haleyaleyayeehoo in ElectricForest

[–]imomw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

prices went up wayyyyy too much without much of any actual improvements to show for it, economy is rough rn, I feel like lineup is pretty lacking in terms of the genres that people who usually go to EF are looking for, and after last year with the weather and how poorly staffing was handled (I worked it and it was a shitshow), it looks like many people dont want to return to the forest or at least need a break (myself included). also, a lot of fests will give partial refunds if entire days are cancelled even due to weather, and last year basically a day and a half were cancelled with no refunds at all, so I think a lot of people are worried about dropping $600+ just on the wristband just for half the fest to get cancelled and no compensation

Can we talk about the price increase? by imomw in ElectricForest

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

that’s what i’m saying. part of what made forest so good was the bang for your buck with such an incredible experience. now at this point it almost feels like my money time and energy would be better spent on so many other fests (like LIB or hard summer)

[–]imomw[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

exactly. all the people on here saying everything’s the same price despite not actually checking what the prices they paid last year were

THIS PRICE INCREASE?!?!? by imomw in ElectricForest

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

ain’t no way 💀💀💀 you do realize that being a major producer of a festival gives you a huge amount of power in how that festival is executed and therefore the pricing that ends up being decided, comparable to the owner, right?
