Things you can say to immediately mobilize large sections of the Fedi:
• “I think I might be a girl.”
• “I can’t make sound work on Linux.”
• “What kind of bug is this?”
• “I want to learn how to play the bass guitar.”

True story: when I was recruiting amateur session musicians for the last #LPlatePlayers song, I got four bass players stepping up in the first 24 hours.

@futzle Had any of them hacked Big Mouth Billy Bass to run Linux, or couldn't they get the sound working?

@allrite @futzle you can install Linux on a real bass... the sound will still be an issues tho.

@futzle I wonder what it is about bass guitar that attracts a certain type of person (I say as someone who owns a bass guitar and is at least nominally trying to learn how to play it)

Well, it is a Precision Bass, and that position is precise.

@Owlor @futzle I played bass guitar 40 years ago, now I'm considering an upright an upright electric bass for playing jazz.
And I'm far too old to make sound work on Linux.

@futzle My first girlfriend nearly founded a student's band at high school, but they figured that a band of four bass guitars might not be popular
