4·9 hours agoIt depends on the shape of your ears. I use the medium silicone tips (most normally ship with S, M, and L) and they fit comfortably. I can wear them for hours without issue. On the other hand, no size will fit my wife’s ears. They either pop out or hurt her ears. Regardless, they are uncomfortable for her.
I can’t stand the solid ones and highly prefer the silicone tipped. The amount of low frequencies and all around sound fidelity lost when using solids makes them a non starter for me.

Dear @violet08@lemmy.today, your consistently horny shitposts lead me to believe that you’re my kind of people. I love inappropriate humor.
I installed Pop!_OS on a Thinkpad in 2020 and have been using that install as my daily driver without issue. That includes multiple LTS release upgrades. The key is to stick with LTS releases. It’s boring because you do not get the latest and greatest features, but the payoff is rock solid stability.
EDIT: As far as distros, I stick with Pop!_OS for myself, Linux Mint for my wife (we’re both IT professionals), and LMDE for my servers.
Server or workstation?
I think it’s illegal in most states.
A Sig? Jesus would need to pray to himself that the gun doesn’t go off and shoot his holy dick off.
12·5 days agoI don’t think you understand. Larry Ellison is a Bond villain, but with actual power. Like when he bought a fully armed (and functional) Mig-29 as soon as the Soviet Union collapsed, but the US would not allow him to import it.
A few months back, he was the richest man in the world. He owns TikTok, Oracle, Paramount/CBS, and more.
Sooo Social Media platform purchased by facist fuck nut billionaire, Larry Ellison, starts spitting out racist ad images with AI - I really am hoping for Apophis to hit in a couple years
Always include his name. Larry is way to evil and powerful to continue to keep his name so out of the headlines.
I agree and disagree. Some people are drawn to music intellectually. For people that, who see music as a language or as a type of math, music theory is THE thing. For folk like that, I simply recommend a DAW where they can assemble their music through midi and electronic instruments (sampled or synthesized).
For most folk though, I agree with you.
You seem to be more interested and or inclined towards music theory. You are also on Lemmy, which means you are not technology averse. My last assumption is that you might be older (40+).
With all of those assumptions in tow, I would recommend something slightly different. I would recommend electronic music on a DAW like Abelton. Electronic music doesn’t necessarily mean “club music”. A lot of orchestral and acoustic sounding music today was mostly, if not fully, composed and performed electronically through a DAW.
So, why this approach? Put simply, you can learn it mostly from books and performing it does not require you to train your body, only your mind. Itbis also incredibly accessible. If you have a modern computer, and invest in small and new midi controller, you have all you need. I recommend an Arturia Keystep MK2. It runs for $169 and it comes bundled with all the software you will need to get started, including Abelton Live Lite, a slimmed down version of one of the world’s most popular DAWs. The Keystep is tiny and it has a ton of features you might benefit from later (sequencer, arpeggiator, chord lock, etc).
As you learn music theory, you can literally draw and adjust the musical notes with your mouse on the DAW. Music theory and a DAW is the most intellectual way to create and perform music.
If you prefer a more tactile and acoustic approach to music, then a Ukulele is a great choice. I recommend the “Enya Tenor Ukulele 26 Inch Carbon Fiber Travel Ukelele”. It looks cool, sounds good enough, and is weather resistant so you can take it with you anywhere. The damned thing is nearly indestructible by the elements (except extreme heat).
EDIT: The Arturia Keystep or any midi controller is not necessary on day one, or ever. Abelton Live Lite is free or nearly free and it is all that you need to get going. I still highly recommend the Keystep purchase though.
