@Cerberus well, good to have you here. Teach me this:
I wonder if it's just a perception bias on my part, or whether it's indeed more customary among the Russian -- and more broadly speaking, Eastern European -- YouTube users to use their actual legal name as their handle.
It's doubly interesting because it's not equally the case on other platforms. People use nicknames all the time there.
@RegDwigнt I...have no idea. Maybe? Maybe their culture is somewhat newer to the Internet and so they don't have privacy as a thing yet as much as Western Europe?
@RegDwigнt See, that's the trouble. We never seem to agree or disagree. Our conversations are of the Schrödinger's cat variety, yet even when we open the box we can't tell if the cat is alive or dead.
Well, actually, this one time I said "dude, choir rehearsal at 7pm". And they've known me for 25 years so they expected something more along the lines of what you just said.
So they paused for a beat and then replied "fuck you".
Software developers are like I dunno, bus drivers. Or bin men. Doing menial tasks that people really really need in the moment. But the very second the task is done, it's immediately forgotten that it even existed.
Which is why everyone is all up your ass about frameworks. Angular! Angular 2! React! Because it removes all the interesting stuff and turns it into something a monkey can do.
I was talking with Matt Ellen about that the other day. How all those people with menial jobs get to go on strike. Even though nothing is left of them in the end. While people like Bach who actually leave stuff behind, or artists in general, they don't get to say "hey I will stop painting now unless you give me 247 Euros".
But it was like all re-furnished from the ground up. Every hammer. Every little piece. They were just finishing up the finetuning on the keys as I walked in.
It was a dream. They have a few there, but this one sounded nothing like any of the other Steinways I've ever played. And, like, not just different but different exactly in my way. How I play and what I do. We were created for each other.
Vor vollendete Tatsachen stellen is what they say in German. I've been trying to think of an English equivalent for the last minute like. It escapes me.

@RegDwigнt Heldentenor is an actual thing. I was just trying to extend that to soprano, and even though I failed a bit my ambitions weren't entirely cockamamie.
@Cerberus No no no, it's the iPhone he said was the gay one. Don't forget to sue when Android turns you back.
The other day on MuseScore I posted a bug report saying that the custom order of scores in my sets has been reset, and that trying to change it back again wouldn't work, either.
Some other user then replied, yes I also can't change the order, but it's even worse than that: my previous custom order has been reset!
Why does nobody ever read my shit.
How can you forget the first half of my sentence by the time you arrive at the second half.
