    Foreign Music

  • This.

    I was exposed to it only two years ago at a syrian restaurant and had to look it up after.

    It’s some of my favourite music now, especially live when they have half an orchestra on stage.

  • Can I oil wood with cooking oil?

    Jump

  • I don't think that’s the case. I tested the drying time of different oils on a sheet of plastic in optimal conditions (summer, sunlight, next to an open window) and it still took 2-3 days for the first ones to dry (being tung oil and perilla oil, I think).

    I don’t see how you could accomplish that on wood, unless you’re using drying agents, of course.

  • They didn’t seriously do that?

    Since when does that happen? Also, on professional/enterprise versions?

  • 24h is not enough time to build coats, not for BLO and absolutely not for any natural oil.

    You need to wait much longer, else you’re just saturating the wood more and more (which isn’t necessarily a bad thing).

    The oils will take much longer to polymerize in the wood, you can prevent any spotting by wiping off any excess if it shows on the surface.

  • I have recently done this. Used tung oil and mixed in a bit of pigment to create sort of a transparent oil color for added saturation.

    Worked well, but the oil takes multiple weeks to fully dry under best conditions until it doesn't smell anymore.

    I would either take the time and wait or use a boiled linseed oil finish with added drying agents.

    Also, I had an old bass neck that was treated with the usual mineral oils before. Even though I had flooded the fretboard with naptha, beforehand, it got a bit messy. Oily spots and uneven soaking everywhere. Still not sure if it worked, so I guess it’s possibly one time mineral oil, always mineral oil.

  • No, that’s a gyphe.

  • I meant the text that was pasted onto the image. It’s perfectly perpendicular to the image frame, not to the paper it’s supposed to be printed on.

    I don’t even know why it was done, but it’s edited in.

  • That's the big question, but "living your life as normal" just means doing nothing, that's usually how fascists win.

    You could start by just talking to people about it, that might already shift their attention to the issue as well, so more people are sensitized to it.

    If you’re in Europe, you could join an antifascist party and get organized, I don’t know how that works in the US.

    But just getting connected and being ready to invest a bit of your time could go a long way.

  • Right? I imagine with a bit of work, some people would use that.

  • I love it

  • What do you mean by "support"? Flatpak is in the official repository and has been for a while.

    You may also consider the backports repository for common software such as office and maybe your DE/tools.

    Otherwise, I've used a T60 with Libreboot myself for years and it still worked fine for general purpose stuff, but then the CCFL display lighting went dead. It's not TFT, unfortunately, so they don't last as long.

  • You know, a few decades ago I've heard people joke about physical media only becoming download codes in the box or cars requiring software updates to drive, so you better believe this is exactly where we're headed.
