Funny, I went the opposite way and went back from smaller boards to adding back the number row. I settled on the Iris, although I've been eyeing building a 4x6 manuform for a while. Layers are fun, until I use some software with a shortcut like Ctrl+Alt+Shift+2... I actually have redundancies, multiple ways to type some characters, for this very reason - mostly numbers and F keys. Sometimes it's really just much more of a hassle to do some key combinations when everything is hidden behind layers.

I was about to ask the same question. It's one thing to think of the potential impacts of AI technology, but to be "against AI" in the most general sense is, to me, a weird concept, especially considering AI is so many things.

OP still wants search indexing, in which case it's a big no-no - it can be perceived as spam by search engines, and links your pages to tons of unrelated keywords.

I'm not sure I understand. I'm speaking specifically about this particular situation you mentioned : what's the difference in terms of legitimacy between the two kills, if both were made to be sold to feed someone else?

I understand the legal aspect, like endangered species protections, etc, but that's another topic entirely. Or is it actually not and you actually meant "legality"?

If things were running on such low margins and shit working conditions, maybe, maybe, the industry as a whole was running on hope and dreams?

I'm not diagnosed. I have had some doubts for the last handful of years, and especially since I started meds for ADHD. But if that's really how allistics think like... Damn boi, I'm autistic as fuck 😂

you can't trust it was killed for a legitimate reason

I'm probably being a little facetious here, I think I kind of get what you meant, but isn't the whole reason "to sell it to someone who wants to eat it" regardless of which one was killed?

Note that I'm using these terms in their largest, most generic sense. Melody as elements of pitch with some kind of temporal progression. Beat as in a regular pulse around which sounds are organized. Rhythm as a form of temporal repetition or pattern (you can have rhythm without a beat). As far as I know, they're pretty much the fundamental differentiating elements versus what's just called noise.

I know there are types of music that stretches the limits of what most consider music, but I'm trying very hard to think about a single thing we'd call music that doesn't have at least one of those elements, and I just can't. Maybe you could come up with some examples, cause I really can't haha. I was thinking of things like Perendecki's Threnody, but it definitely has melodic elements, despite being mostly extremely ambiant and atonal/dissonant. John Cage's Prepared Piano stuff is basically all rhythm. Most ambiant music is extremely melodic.

"Amusia" is apparently a thing, which would be the inability to feel patterns in pitch, beat and/or rhythm in music, so I can definitely see those people not enjoying music so much. I can't relate at all, but I guess I can't exactly relate to what it's like to be blind either...

Yeah... Indeed, our field is pretty prone to weird tribalism and jumping on bandwagons. Still, I dislike that just as much lol
