back when I made my Lemmy account I used a tool called redact to masse edit my Reddit comments into gibberish and then after a few days of making sure it got them all, I deleted them all and then my account.

What's a thing that increased your power? in c/[email protected]

[–] [email protected] 4 points 9 months ago

learning from mistakes. sadly took me longer than a lot of people I know, and as a result, I've seen shit get so fucked up that I finally learned my lesson a year or so ago to have some self awareness.

Sources for sample packs and other music production resources? in c/[email protected]

[–] [email protected] 2 points 9 months ago

As a music artist myself, i can say that most sample pack trading is done on private communities and kept way under wraps. I used to begrudgingly use discord servers for this but i've managed to stockpile so many by masse downloading that I left them all in the end. though if you just want drumkits there is https://rdx.overdevs.com/subreddit.html?r=Drumkits

Mozilla lays off 60 people, wants to build AI into Firefox in c/[email protected]

oh hey it's you! I actually thought about your comments as soon as I saw this headline. I switched from Firefox to brave a few years ago, then recently switched to waterfox as they are again independent of system1 like before. the browser itself removes a lot of unnecessary Mozilla integrations and also reverts the proton UI. maybe forks like this or Librewolf are the future for this browser?

How do you think you will die? in c/[email protected]

Everyone's a nerd about something. What are you a nerd about? in c/[email protected]

[–] [email protected] 2 points 9 months ago

I've always been a huge nerd for geography and traveling. Every other interest I tend to hyperfixate on then fall out of, but those 2 seem to be eternal. I love learning the history and geography of new places and going to see them.

Apple moves away from iTunes on PC with new Windows apps in c/[email protected]

I've been using soulseek and 3utools ever since they made iTunes a Microsoft store app. guess I'm not surprised it ended up like this.

You end up homeless. You have no family, friends, job, in demand job skills, money, credit cards, or car. What would you do to get out of that situation? in c/[email protected]

This community's stance on physical media ownership? in c/[email protected]

[–] [email protected] 3 points 9 months ago

I try to support physical media when I can because it's more consumer friendly than streaming exclusive shows. there are a lot of shows I just pirate. these days though my physical collecting is pretty much just manga.

How do you deal with the thought of having to work for 40+ years and then when/if you retire, you're too old to do much? in c/[email protected]

[–] [email protected] 13 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

I simply work part time on purpose. I don't have my own place (flatmates) so we all split the COL. It's not truly freedom, but it feels a lot more free than when I worked full time. I usually have enough to save a little and also because of this I am able to travel a few times a year. But you have to be REALLY able to manage your finances to live like this. I have no credit card and prepay everything ahead of time. It leaves me with a lot more time to enjoy LIFE. and feel less constantly tired as well.
