Britain Backs Plan to Store Carbon Dioxide Under the Sea | Two proposals in Northern England, led by the energy giants BP and Eni, aim to establish an industry in burying emissions
  • adam_y adam_y Now 100%

    Britain says a lot of shit.

    The fact they are suggesting this is down to Northerners is a new low.

    What's that, man in Burnley? BP can offset their horrific environmental track record by exporting their harm to the bottom of the sea?

    Sure, that's a great Idea and we love your ferret and whippet.

  • A global housing crisis is suffocating the middle class
  • adam_y adam_y Now 97%

    It was also a work of fiction.

    Or propaganda.

    A lot of 80s/90s TV was selling a lie because it was primarily written by the upper middle classes portraying the lives of the working class.

    They had little idea how things actually worked.

  • Minimum alcohol pricing rises in Scotland by 30%
  • adam_y adam_y Now 95%

    I can't help but feel this is another form of disproportionate tax. Minimum prices hit the poorest hardest.

    I think behind it is an insidious idea that the working class are alcoholics whereas the middle classes are drinking responsibly.

    Deaths attributed to alcohol can be seen through the lens of alcohol + poverty, rather than alcohol in isolation.

    So this is really treating a symptom, not a cause.

    I have a theory that our job is just to get out of the way when the boomers die off.

    Hand over the power to the next gen.

    Maybe let us have some basic income and our first gen consoles and we'll be cool.

    Fun fact, TinEye lists this image as first uploaded to the internet in 2015, nearly a whole decade ago.

    It has been pretty unfunny for nearly ten full years now.

    Mark Zuckerberg: creators and publishers ‘overestimate the value’ of their work for training AI

    So he's determining the price of peoples goods for them.

    That's like walking into a shop taking what you want and throwing a few coins, if any, at the till whilst shouting, "I think you over estimate the value of these goods"

  • Why do people like crt shaders in the retroarch community. There's so many videos about it. Is it a product of their time or are non-crt experiencers doing it?
  • adam_y adam_y Now 100%

    That makes a lot of sense.

    As far as I'm aware, if your TV did start to provide feedback as you played you were in for a bad time.

    I guess I'm thinking more holistically. Gaming is often seen still as a visual medium, but you'll know that the physical set up was part of the fun/not fun.

    I suspect you might remember man parties and lugging gear around just to play with friends. In theory it wasn't exactly easy, but somehow still enjoyable for it.

  • When I use the internet to learn, I don't want to have to spend 2 minutes watching an advert, then try to decipher an accent I can barely understand whilst a 15 year old speed runs the task whilst seemingly skipping crucial steps in a video. I want the steps written down. Maybe with diagrams. I'm old. Learning is hard enough.

    I'm calling this 'West Coast Main Line' after the section of rail that passes through where I live. Again, I'm using the Pro-1, a Volca Keys and an Uno Synth. This time a Model:Samples is playing a looped section. I'm looking here about recreating the rhythm of rail using a phasing technique. There's a bandcamp version too, where the track is free to download, if you prefer. [bandcamp Link](https://competitionspeedcube.bandcamp.com/track/west-coast-main-line) As before, please feel free to share any of your experiments too.

    Hello, long time listener, first time caller... I just wanted to say hi. I'm very much interested in the grain, the unplanned and the documentary when it comes to analogue photography. This one was shot on fomapan 400 and an Optima 335 that I've had in my jacket pocket for a while.

    Hello! I though you might like the more nerdier details about this track. The equipment is a Pro-1, an Uno Synth and a Volca Keys (set to octave). All running through a Behringer xenyx and recorded on a tascam dp 006. I used an Sq-64 for the sequencing, which was a steep learning curve but I think it came out ok. In terms of the music I was particularly interested in timbrality changes and phasing as well as emergent patterns. I'd planned for the piece to be around an hour long, but it came to a natural conclusion at the 21 minute mark and I went with that. There's also a version on YouTube [here](https://youtu.be/QWYjpjGf9hQ), where I used the recorded midi output to create an animation. It was a bit of an afterthought, but I think it might make some great and complex visuals down the line as a technique. Ok, thank you for your time.

    Long time listener, first time caller. My first post to Lemmy is a piece of modernist music I've made for three synthesizers. In this case, I used a Behringer Pro-1, an Uno Synth, and a Volca Keys. I'm very much interested in repetition and emergent rhythms. Feel free to share some of your own work if you think I'd be into it.
