  • I learned music on saxophone, I have both an alto and tenor stashed in my house. I haven’t been able to play due to no community bands in my area. Thankfully it’s almost like riding a bike, including my talent for playing by ear.

    I’ve also dabbled in a few other instruments, most notably guitar (in high school) where I eventually was able to play most of One by Metallica. The only thing stopping me was that the guitar only had 22 frets, and that song required 24 with standard tuning.

    I’m also an amateur with Hurdy Gurdy, which is a European folk instrument. I’ve been fascinated by them since I was a teenager, and got a kit a couple years ago. Unfortunately I haven’t had time to play it this past year






  • That’s kind of shitty. I mean at least they have a “no” option, but seems like it should be the default.

    What’s frustrating is that all browsers default to the “Yes AI” version when you pick DDG as the default search engine. So if you have a privacy browser that periodically dumps your cookies, the AI keeps getting turned on.

    This wouldn’t be a problem if DDG just made it fucking opt-in from the start instead of opt-out. Hopefully with the poll they’ll finally make the right choice and fix it
