If it works it works. I just never would have thought to do it that way.

Question for the audience: what city do you most associate this style with? For me it's Seattle, because that's where I live, and ugh, it's everywhere.

Fancy a bit of jolly cooperation?

I think it's a offshoot of the shabby chic aesthetic. Expensive stuff made of cheap elements because you're being sold a certain flavor of minimalism.

Right, but why bring theta into it at all? TV screens are as a hypotenuse (a²+b²) with a fixed ratio (a/b=16/9), so you just need to solve for a and b.

I'm trying to figure out how you need trig for that. Just the Pythagorean theorem and ratios seem sufficient to me.

It should be illegal to connect a touch screen to a computer that runs like a potato. Even computers in the 80s could respond to keystrokes and mouse clicks in real time.

I don't actually know anything about where bands are supposed to find an audience, but I don't think bands who haven't found an audience should expect to get paid, the same way I don't expect to get paid for going to a job interview or engaging in a hobby. If a band doesn't have an audience they can reliably entertain, what they're doing is self promotion for their own benefit, not entertainment for the benefit of an audience.

I ended up using a combination of Obsidian sync and Google drive to do what I wanted, and it was much easier.

I'm all for people using Syncthing in cases where it meets their needs, but when you're mainly syncing notes, I think it's overkill and doesn't pull its weight in terms of its learning curve and the potential to screw things up with an incorrect configuration.

Another issue I ran into was that the devices have to be awake at the same time to sync between them. Using a cloud based solution makes that problem go away. Syncthing might be worth it for me if I ever get around to setting up a Linux media server, but I've been resisting it because I don't want another machine to maintain. I still can't help but think of an old job I had where we were almost unable to do a big demo because it relied on a server at a coworker's house that was accidentally unplugged.

Stuff that nobody wants to listen to just takes up space and clutters up searches, making it harder for people to find the stuff they actually want. It had negative value for the platform and for users. That's why they went the AI stuff gone. If a few actual bands miss out on a few dollars of revenue as a result of Spotify getting rid of the outright junk, I'm not gonna shed a tear over it.

Checking your bank account on public wifi is perfectly safe thanks to TLS.

I think you're misunderstanding what people mean by "notes" in this context. They're not meant to be temporary.
