If someone were to write code to their software fixing bugs, how and why can that break other code/features if it’s not meant for that? A common example are Nvidia drivers “breaking” or Microsoft patching one feature but breaking many, many other features.

If code is meant to be hyper specific, how can it affect any other feature?

I’ve been studying music in many different ways all my life; I started in grade 5 with my lil’ ol Clarinet and worked my way up to ~7 instruments I can play that I’ve either learned myself, or had the help of my wonderful music teacher. I learned something that may seem obvious to others in this field, but I haven’t noticed until I just saw a video about this:

When you’re trying to figure out notes on the bass clef: the notes go up alphabetically on the staff. Starting with G on the first line, then working your way up.

When I saw that video, I literally went “Whaaaaaat? No way”, frantically searched for an image of the bass clef on google, and Lo and behold: it was right. My mind is utterly blown; I’ve never thought of it like that. I learned first by mnemonics for the treble clef (Every Good Boy Deserves Fudge for the lines, and the word Face for the spaces between) so I created my own for the bass clef: Good Boys Deserve Fudge Always for lines, and All Cows Eat Grass for the spaces. Now, though, the video taught me that I overcomplicate things.

What is something you’ve learned years after starting your hobby or passion?

I signed up for a couple of Fediverse instances that interested me; Lemmy, Mastodon, and Mbin. The app I use on my phone for Mbin is called “Intersteller”. When I filter by “all” posts on Intersteller, it shows Lemmy posts as well. Are they the same instance? If not, why is it showing Lemmy posts?
