Major labels have a presence on there too though.

My mom loves Zorin OS! We’re strongly considering the pro version now.

That’s really strange. I have an M-Audio 60ish key and a smaller Novation Nocturn MIDI keyboard as well as a Roland electric drum kit and have no issues doing anything over MIDI with them on Linux.

Maybe its worth another try? I don’t need drivers for any of that stuff.

Really? I run my home studio in Nobara Linux without any latency issues. I use Reaper as my DAW. Are you using yabridge?

Have Win 10 and was a Windows die hard since I was a kid.

Been running Linux on another drive as my default boot for a year and a half in anticipation of this horseshit and was only hesitant to delete Win because my Fanatec sim racing hardware wasn’t supported on Linux.

Welp, turns out hid-fanatecff is a thing. Installed the kernel driver and boom, working Fanatec peripherals. Even my Moza shifter is plug-and-play.

Bye bye Microsoft.

Can’t beat them for games that require low latency input though. Just playing retro games on them is worth owning one.

Who on earth is gonna shoot a starling for food?

Have you seen starlings? They can fit in the palm of your hand.

You’re the outlier, I promise. People are literally forfeiting their brains in favor of an LLM transplant hese days.

Same here. I’ve been better off ever since.

Shouldn’t it?

Make your next phone a Pixel and load GrapheneOS onto it. Problem solved.

There’s plenty of fiction written on this premise. It only makes sense that an LLM will write something similar to what it’s already ingested.

Developers all love to preen about code. They worry LLMs lower the “ceiling” for quality. Maybe. But they also raise the “floor”.

And this is how the human element of this industry dies. This dev is the last of a dying breed, the senior dev. He’s also loading more bullets into the gun that’s pointed at the heart of the role that got him to where he is in the first place.

You don’t get to become a junior dev if that role is occupied by AI and you don’t get to ever ascend to senior dev unless you start as a junior dev.

For as analytical this person seems to be, he has a massive blindspot related to the path he himself treaded to get where he is. He’s pulling the ladder up behind him and condemning the people on the path behind to finding another way or giving up entirely.

AI is brain rot. It’s actively and aggressively atrophying humanity’s ability to reason and problem solve.

Honestly, I’ve always thought the best use case for AI is moderating NSFL content online. No one should have to see that horrific shit.

Radicalized is a really good collection of shorter works. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radicalized_(Doctorow_book)

Does anyone onow if there is a NOYB equivalent in North America?

Dude, thank you for this context. I was already aware of these considerations but just wanted to thank you for sharing this with everyone. Its participation like this that makes the internet a better place. 🍻

This is 100% the answer. My filter list is exhaustive and its curated a feed for me that doesn’t actively destroy my mental health.

The “boop beeep boop… Beee-ooop beep” one?

You should seek mental health assistance and therapy.
