Threema.ch already do this. Maybe that’s the answer?

I wonder what that looks like fleshed out a little, though. Is that a mandatory or voluntary payment? And by paying for what they use is that per message or per month like a subscription?

But do we trust entities that depend on our governments for funding? It could be argued that they’re fundamentally compromised.

Maybe within whatever bubble this article is aimed at, but I think it will be the vast minority who get that. But, we should push for it all around the world.

If they’re scraping the web, and they’re generating AI content on the web, how do they avoiding training their AI on it’s own nonsense somewhere?

Upvoted bc VC eventually means enshittifiication. But with xz getting back-doored recently, what is the middle ground that keeps these things sustainable financially and operationally?

Will it be possible at some point to have private magazines? in c/kbinMeta@kbin.social
[–] FarraigePlaisteach@kbin.social 1 points 7 months ago (1 children)

For those with the skills, yes. But it would be good to facilitate less technical people to use the platform too.

Just wondering if local communities could use kbin that way.

The problem is that we can’t leave. We’ve requested for our accounts to be deleted a long time ago. It’s not our fault that we’re still waiting.

EXIT 0.1.0: Export subscriptions across kbin/mbin instances in c/kbinMeta@kbin.social
[–] FarraigePlaisteach@kbin.social 1 points 8 months ago (2 children)

The export process says it has copied subscriptions to the clipboard, but when I paste I just get the code I had pasted in to the browser console. I'm using Safari on macOS.

It's not a big deal. I don't mind starting from scratch.

I’ve been waiting for my account deletion request to be accepted for a while now. Maybe a few weeks.

I like Kbin in theory, but the spam is too distracting for me. I’m not in a position to volunteer either.

Panning with only a few instruments? (kbin.social)
 

I’m struggling to pan the chorus of my song. It only has drums, bass, one slightly distorted guitar and a lead vocal.

The drums have a nice default panning spread from L-R in the DAW I’m using (Logic). But the convention I’m reading online recommends putting bass and vocal in the centre.

My question is, what do I do with the guitar, which is just playing a power chord at the beginning of each bar.

I like songs that fill the stereo spectrum but due to the composition, this one seems narrow by comparison.

I’ve read about stereo expanders but I’m not sure when to sure them. I was also thinking that I could somehow split the guitar into two tracks by frequency and pan those differently. Not sure how to go about that yet and then not sure if I would need to do the same for vocals in that case.

Any suggestions on how to make the mix a bit more exciting without changing the composition ?

Kung Fury is due for release in November 2023. Is there an official trailer for it? (kbin.social)
 

Any video on YouTube claiming to be a trailer isn’t. I know it’ll be a great movie but curious to see if there is a trailer.

Is it possible to collapse comments under Kbin posts? I can’t seem to do it, at least on mobile. (kbin.social)
 

I’m sure I’ve seen comments indicating that people can do this.

These are my favourite browser based games. What are yours? (kbin.social)

I’ve been playing the wipeOut rewrite in my browser.

I also found browser-playable arcade games like Daytona USA on this website.

No registration is required and I’m amazed at how accessible and well-performing these are. Can anyone recommend others?

First / Third Person without the Shooting/Combat? (kbin.social)

I’m a non-gamer looking for recommendations please. I saw the Quake II refresh and it makes me want to explore/roam some 3D environments again. But I’m really not into the intensity of any of the shooting games.

Tomb Raider was fun but I found combat hard to control.
Half-Life had great environments but too much shooting for me.
Portal was great fun but I eventually found it repetitive.
Beyond a Steel Sky is one of my favorites although the pace of exploration is a bit slower than others.

I’m tempted to give a game like Myst a try but the puzzles sound a bit too involved for me. Basically something without much stress or excessive friction against exploration of the environment. Thanks

I’m on Linux and macOS.
