Its wild how it took no time at all for the masses to outsource their brains to the first thing that offered the service; no concern at all for the quality of the service either. The last 5 years have just confirmed every shitty thought I've had about humanity over the years.

    I use one main page with only the home row of 5 apps, and one other page to hold my calendar and budget widgets. I use the default app tray to open apps instead of scattering them across screens. Pixel 8 Graphene OS.

    Do You Only Use Lemmy Or Do You Use Another Fediverse Thing And Why Did You Become A Fediverse/Lemmy Use? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.world

    Same here. The only socials I have beyond this are Strava, a few Discord communities for tech support-type stuff and YouTube comments if that counts.

    The Reddit API exodus was the canary in the coal mine for me. My entire technical/social life changed for the better after that.

    Go ahead and be a pessimist all you like. No need to embroil others in your misery. Honestly if you really don't care then why toss shit at someone about their character, as if you're some paragon of virtue? Pick a fucking lane and stick to it.

    Artificial Brain - Static Shattering (Cover Playthrough) 🤖🪐🔥 (www.youtube.com)
     

    cross-posted from: https://lemmy.ca/post/52726717

    This is where I'm at after two days of progress on this incredible track. I had a truly flawless playthrough on my second try this evening but failed to hit record in Reaper so this take comes about ~20 takes after that absolutely heartbreaking mistake.

    This is honestly the only AB track I can get through at the moment since all their songs are typically incredibly fast and difficult. My picking hand is just not able to keep up with that stuff yet.

    Big shoutout to the band for making their tabs available for purchase. It's been an adventure learning this stuff and it has seriously leveled up my playing in the process. Check out this link to their merch site for tabs and other stuff: https://massacremerch.com/collections/artificial-brain

    The tone I'm using is a custom patch in my AxeFX II using the FAS Modern III model - a tweaked version of the classic 5150 - and a DiMarzio Blaze in the bridge position.

    How to deal with wasps in fallen fruit around pear tree? (lemmy.ca)
     

    So we have a pear tree in our back yard that decided this was the year it was going to successfully bear fruit.

    Its been extremely dry and we've been away a lot so I haven't cut the grass in about 8 weeks. I didn't even notice the tree had ripe fruit on it until yesterday. Stoked to check it out I walked over to pick some and noticed there's about ten full grown pears rotting on the ground below the tree that are just absolutely infested with wasps.

    The tree is near our fence with the neighbors so I gotta deal with this fast so they don't get overwhelmed by wasps.

    Does anyone know of a safe way to approach this? I broke my ribs and fucked up my back on a dirt bike last weekend so I can't exactly do anything that requires quick reactions or running away.

    Any ideas would be super helpful 🙏

    [EDIT] The solution was to wait until nightfall for them to return to their nest. I was able to pick up all the fruit and dispose of it with ease with maybe 5 wasps hanging around, seemingly in a stupor due to low light and cold air, instead of what looked like a few hundred during the day.
