I guess if music is a hobby, that would be my #1 hobby. I listen to it constantly and almost couldn't live without the tunes.

It's ALL rock and roll from the 60's to current. Don't do any Lady Gaga type crap at all. Currently at a hair over 6,000 cd's, along with XM radio in house and in one out of 2 vehicles.

Usually working and/or playing on a computer or 3 while jamming!! :yes:

Music mostly. I play guitar, mostly just messing around with riffs and jotting down song ideas. I want to get into composing some electronic stuff, but I have no idea where to start.

Download FL studio or something easy to start with, then just look up basics of electronic music.... it's basicly just 4/4 loops, if you play the guitar, it can't be very hard for you to start

That's my hobby btw, producing electro music

if anyone is interested in listening:

Man, I wish I had time for hobbies lol. Work 10 hours a day, 2 dogs to take care of, on call the other hours I'm not working, and a new Girl Friend to boot.... My hobbies now are watching or gaming on whatever I can for the precious hour or so I have free during the week.

Used to go hiking, to music venues, and reading... maybe I can get some more free time soon.

    • I'm not unblocking my camera for this crapola. Sorry, Google.
    • Ummmm that is what is it supposed to do. Just turn if off in settings if you do not want it analyzing your open tabs. Chrome does the same thing with Gemini. Sarfari will do the samething after Apple's AI and even more so with the release of their 27 versions that is now powered by Googles LLM/ML models. Understanding why it is doing it and how it can help you vs jumping to some conspiracy theroy is a much better approach. As long as it can be turned off, all is good. Yes the default should be off but the a lot of people would never discover these features.
    • Just another reason (aside from many others) not to use Edge. Firefox 153.0b5 DEx64 has a similar feature added recently in prior builds that I will turn off at some point when I get around to it. It's the new "Something looks suspicious" page that pops up here and there. It cleverly hides itself between web pages that I've actually visited; as a result, you know, of selecting a web page and telling the browser where to go. The interesting thing is that it does not produce these warnings from pages that I, as the only intelligent user of the browser in my system, have ever directed the browser to open! What seems to be happening is that the browser looks at all the goofy ad links on a web page I do actually open and selects one that "looks suspicious" and then creates the "something looks suspicious" web page, which is neatly inserted, as mentioned, between web pages my RB ("real brain") has directed the browser to load in a session. The thing is, I usually look at links I am considering to follow before I ask the browser to load them, and in cases I have noticed where the link does indeed look suspicious, most of the time I will choose to not follow the link at all. Doesn't everyone do this or something similar? I am picky about what I voluntarily load... (I don't like links that start off fine, with a site designaiton that seems normal enough but then is followed by indecipherable alphanumeric strings many, many lines long, etc. I tend to reject those because they look suspicious. They may not be, but I don't care... I'll stay with Firefox, of course, if for no other reason than they usually let you turn off the junk you don't like. And because it isn't Edge... But at some point Microsoft will come to realize that putting your bookmarks on the left side is a Good Thing for a lot of people, just as Microsoft discovered when it had the bright idea of nailing the Windows taskbar to the bottom of the screen, when for decades Microsoft browsers had left that placement up to the user. They have finally reversed the obscenity of that decision. Finally.
    • Google was using the old CATPCHAs data to train their LLMs. What is the say they won't use this camera data of users to train their LLM? these companies need some strict regulations!
