Thank you, and I agree. I did not want to cite examples, thinking they would overwhelm the thread with the specific problem in question.

I don’t mean groupthink or the opposing groupthink that comes in response, though. I believe I can tell the difference, and I believe this is new and systemic.

If you don’t perceive the same thing, I may simply be wrong or projecting. It’s why I asked.

I see sock puppets everywhere. Some obviously state actors. This is how soft power is exercised in the 21st century to shape narrative. Your tax dollars being spent (assuming you live in a country that practices propaganda against it's own citizens like the USA. see Smith-Mundt Modernization Act of 2012/2013)

"On Earth, phosphine is only present due to life, and so phosphine has been explored extensively as a potential sign of life. So the potential detection on Venus was exciting stuff. ... Phosphine is found in the atmospheres of Jupiter and Saturn, and no one is proposing life exists in the clouds of these planets."

I love the information density of this article. Compelling case for investing in hdd manufacturing sector as well as a great explanation of why tape storage is still a growing market (Subpoenas and cold data storage cost in case you were wondering).

Sounds like a bit of an opsec failure. I get it. As a faceless worker for a nation perceived as evil by most of the other nation’s citizens. Knowing your job is to steal, impersonate and lie, it would feel like the minions were all about your life.

How about a scan of git for related occurrences of Kevin, gru and minion images?

I just prompt the google music model and I can just play along.

All snark aside, ways to learn (already listed) include teachers, books, videos and the most difficult of all your ear. If music theory isn’t your bag, pick a song and learn to play the first phrase. Then the next phrase, then the next. That’s how they did it in the old days. One song at a time. One bit at a time.

If you want shortcuts to playing guitar enough to impress many, you can skip (some) theory and learn a few chord shapes. To play like the masters will require dedication to craft impossible for most. I applaud your efforts.
