If things were running on such low margins and shit working conditions, maybe, maybe, the industry as a whole was running on hope and dreams?

I'm not diagnosed. I have had some doubts for the last handful of years, and especially since I started meds for ADHD. But if that's really how allistics think like... Damn boi, I'm autistic as fuck ๐Ÿ˜‚

Note that I'm using these terms in their largest, most generic sense. Melody as elements of pitch with some kind of temporal progression. Beat as in a regular pulse around which sounds are organized. Rhythm as a form of temporal repetition or pattern (you can have rhythm without a beat). As far as I know, they're pretty much the fundamental differentiating elements versus what's just called noise.

I know there are types of music that stretches the limits of what most consider music, but I'm trying very hard to think about a single thing we'd call music that doesn't have at least one of those elements, and I just can't. Maybe you could come up with some examples, cause I really can't haha. I was thinking of things like Perendecki's Threnody, but it definitely has melodic elements, despite being mostly extremely ambiant and atonal/dissonant. John Cage's Prepared Piano stuff is basically all rhythm. Most ambiant music is extremely melodic.

"Amusia" is apparently a thing, which would be the inability to feel patterns in pitch, beat and/or rhythm in music, so I can definitely see those people not enjoying music so much. I can't relate at all, but I guess I can't exactly relate to what it's like to be blind either...

Other people already answered you, but it's mostly for:

  1. Keeping things obvious, you know who did what
  2. Avoid potential collisions

He just told you why not to put it in /usr/bin: it's where your package manager puts executables.

I'm not too sure why it's important where your users put your script from a script author perspective? Otherwise, just check the default $PATH content for a fresh user on said system, and put it somewhere in there.
