No, you were clear. That’s what I understood you to mean.

Same!

To achieve this you need to use a gate effect that supports sidechain on the music track, and then feed the morse code output into the sidechain input on the gate.

This tutorial I found with a quick search looks fairly comprehensive: https://www.practical-music-production.com/sidechain/

If you’re getting gcc errors it sounds like the package you’re trying to install contains some c/c++ stuff that needs compiling.

A lot of python packages that rely on things written in c/c++ ship those precompiled, which might account for why it feels easier for you.

Thou fucking killed it.

Yeah I feel exactly the same about Cool World. I’m not familiar with some of the bands on your list so I’m going to check them out.

Also, I’m seeing Thou on Tuesday and I am so fucking excited.

I’ve got some crossover with yours:

Didn’t quite make it but I love it too:

Chat Pile - Cool World This is a great album, I just ended up listening to the others more. Noise rock/sludge metal, similar to early Swans. Apple Music: https://music.apple.com/gb/album/cool-world/1750294553 Bandcamp: https://chatpile.bandcamp.com/album/cool-world Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/album/3k7GhMNdQ0KXGkC84qVRf2

Yeah, I just moved our linting/format checking pipeline to ruff and it’s been painless and fast.

I’m not sure what you’re asking. “Umbilical” and “Mind Burns Alive” are both metal, and the album by Glassing is adjacent to metal.

Thou - Umbilical

Pallbearer - Mind Burns Alive

Glassing - From the Other Side of the Mirror

That’s a fair point.

I’m still going to celebrate the gays.

If I understand you correctly, you’re saying that putting emphasis on the “Gay” description is reductive?

I don’t necessarily disagree, but headlines need to be short, capture attention and accurately summarize the content of the article. I think this headline succeeds in all these aspects.

Also it’s worth noting that this cruise was chartered by a company that advertises itself as specialising in gay & LGBTQ+ holiday packages. I doubt anyone taking part in this cruise would object to it being described as gay.

To me headline highlights the intersectionality and solidarity shown when of one group of historically oppressed people (refugees) is rescued by another historically oppressed group (gay people).

The fact that the rescuers were from a gay cruise doesn’t make their actions inherently more special than if they were from any other kind of cruise, but there’s an importance in having positive media portrayal for LGBTQIA+ folks when the current political climate in many countries is turning more towards intolerance and oppression of queer people again.

Why would the fact that it’s gay put a bad light on it?

Hah someone on the post I cross-posted this from said the same thing 😂

I think the majority consensus is that none of the Gospels were written by contemporaries of Jesus, and they were edited and changed up to 200 years after his death.

I get you, but I think it’s still a good thing that they’ve committed to this amount, regardless of how much their net worth is. It’s better than nothing and with regards to Chappell Roan, I really get the impression that she puts the effort and the work in to lift people up. I think that’s worth celebrating.
