It's been too long since I took a good photo with the bass guitar, so here is one from rehearsal yesterday.💜
My favourite bass line right now is probably from Feel Good Inc,by Gorillaz, which has also become my go-to to sing at Karaoke.
Can you recommend cool bass lines for beginners?

Apple Daily was a household name growing up in Hong Kong. They published on the side of the Umbrella Protest in Hong Kong, and now they're making an example out of him.
"A Hong Kong court sentences the 78-year-old British citizen Jimmy Lai to 20 years in prison after he was found guilty of national security offences last December."

If you're searching Mastodon, there are special phrases called "operators" that you can include to narrow down your search. For example, if you just want to search your own posts you can include the operator from:me alongside your keywords.
There's a complete guide to searching Mastodon including a list of all the operators at:

You can combine several operators in one search to narrow it even further, or include a minus sign - to exclude stuff.

i've been having occasional issues where a 1440p youtube video will buffer for ten or so seconds, then resume normally. no clue why, my internet's more than fast enough.
but it reminded me of a time where my internet very much wasn't fast enough. we used to have ADSL, and we'd get maybe 1.5mbps if we were lucky. i could watch 360p youtube videos with no buffering, or 480p if i paused the video for a few minutes to get it to preload far enough (back when that was a thing). sometimes i'd treat myself and wait five minutes to watch a ninety second video in glorious 720p.
for whatever reason -- maybe the app only supported lower bitrate streams, maybe it had a better wifi chip than my phone or laptop -- i could watch 480p without buffering or preloading specifically on my PS vita. other devices couldn't do it.
so i ended up watching a lot of youtube on that beautiful 544p OLED display.
I've been waiting several months for this module: Bohm from Ohmforce. It's probably the most versatile kick drum for Eurorack out there. I'm really happy that this module is now part of my setup.

Is there any reason why the official Mastodon app (I use Android) is NOT showing a warning, if you try to post a picture without ALT-TEXT?
@apps does a great UX job here and reminds me, every time I forget to add an alt text.
If needed, I can add a feature request / bug ticket.
Thx for your reply.
On should be the standard, or?
People who are new to the Fediverse and have zero ideas what an alt-text is, will not turn it on.
We see, especially after di.day, a rise of users who have zero ideas about it.
They want an easy user experience.
We have some "hard cases" and they are so much struggling with doing it right.

There's a lot of attention lately around digital sovereignty and often that conversation also includes Nextcloud. Frank tells us all about how Nextcloud works, how it can be used to free your data, and has some great insight into what decentralization already looks like and what it could look like soon

Preserved within the down-faulted interior of the Saguenay Graben are two large eroded, isolated patches, known as outliers, of Paleozoic, Middle Ordovician, sedimentary rock composed of limestones and shales overlying Precambrian basement. The Lac-Saint-Jean outlier rests against the south wall of the graben south of Lac Saint-Jean and extends to the west of the lake. The Chicoutimi (Saguenay) outlier rests against the north wall of the graben and extends southward to a few kilometers from the Saguenay River north of Chicoutimi. These Middle Ordovician sedimentary rocks consist of sandstones, micritic limestones and highly fossiliferous, alternating beds of limestones and shales. These rocks have been preferentially eroded by repeated glaciations exhuming the Saguenay Graben.
Some good soil there!
