Do you have some kind of subconscious awareness of interests you already have or know you eventually will take deep dives into at some point in life? (self.asklemmy)

I mean like awareness that, just under the surface, there are deep explorations waiting for the right time and place to emerge; things you've set aside or placed on the back burner but will tackle eventually/many you already have tackled.

Are you deeply self aware of these interests like some kind of list? If so, are these interests deeply connected in your mind to your past explorations and interests like some kind of road map or branching tree structure of thought?

Yes. I want to create my own open-source spectral, organic synthesizer. I've tried diving into DSP, but I don't really have the time to do so.

I am also interested in designing my own electrical appliances. Maybe a electric shaver, or a vacuum cleaner that respects the right to repair. Or maybe work on creating my own RISC-V laptop and module-based cluster computer for fun, maybe experimental gaming. But my basics in computer science is pretty messy.

Sometimes, I also wish I had the time to learn game development, but I'm okay with not pursuing this. Or you know, working on my own dream, experiment, purely immutable operating system that violates POSIX, has an alternative to shell-based input and stuff like that.

Right now, I just want to learn some crappy web dev, make a project and get a shitty job to enter the industry, so I'm focusing on that.

What makes a synthesizer organic?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Carbon, probably

Nice. But really, that's not a term that's thrown around a lot with synthesis so I wonder. Like organic interface, so it feels more like an acoustic instrument with wood keys/triggers? That would be neat. Or does organic mean something else in this context?
