Oh so you’re telling me that my storage unit is actually incredibly well optimised for space efficiency?

Nice!

Go on Elon, just another line of ket and you’ll get your revenge

Funny, we had similar in our ostensibly actually left wing party in the UK a few years ago. We have a democratic leadership process and the labour membership elected an actually left-of-centre leader

Reports followed Jeremy Corbyn’s run as leader of the party that the BlaIrite wing (centre right part of the party) did everything in their power to sabotage him.

Social liberals are almost as megalomaniac as standard conservatives, it sadly seems. If they don’t get to be in charge, no one does, in their eyes.

That looks like a pretty cheap subscription fee for a country ~25%.

Mine is closer to actually half, though we get healthcare and a half decent social safety net with ours.

Happy to pay it because I know I’d not be where I am now without the stuff taxes pay for

I found out about them about a year ago thanks to Lemmy, funnily

I was wondering why one of the Aussie instances was called quokk.au

They paved paradise and put up a parking lot

Truly baffling that left wing policies designed to help the most people are appealing to most people

I assume this is coming at some point, tbh

I personally reckon they’re working on something YAbridge-esque to allow people to bring their VSTs to the push in standalone mode. If they can actually nail that, it’s an absolute no brainer to then release a full Linux version of the DAW and finally allow people like me to make the switch

Every time I’ve tried to run Ableton on Linux over the years (most recently about Christmas last year), it’s the VST support that lets me down. I’ve got hundreds of VSTs I’ve used in various projects over the past couple of decades and I can’t switch unless I know they all work properly—projects not loading or sounding different is unacceptable. I need to be able to open anything I’ve worked on over the years and be able to get right into the creativity without tinkering, as that is what I already have today.

Until that day, I’ve got to begrudgingly keep windows around.

The US doesn’t deserve Dolly as a national treasure, she’s a treasure of the world

In spite of the USA we have today

How’s glasto, mate?

Did I say “only”?

Fascists are the most dangerous and frankly, alarmingly flooding the internet with their shit right now

“Magnitudes” is a borderline dangerous understatement of the difference in their output versus any other corner of political thought.

Hyper targeted advertising on the internet means you categorically will not be seeing anything close to the worst of it.

Of course it is.

Fascists can create the illusions they need to convince morons whilst at the same time making them distrust reality (“nah that’s AI”)

A lot of people are going to suffer

Well, that’s truly nightmarish

It does actually seem like it’s only the US for now

Unless I’ve misunderstood your comment

I like how foul language etc is halfway down the list

This is either satire or another case of conservatives being entirely unable to criticise anything without also broadcasting their kinks

People who knew what they were doing with computers used Netscape until it died, those people went to Mozilla suite and then Firefox (well, Phoenix then Firebird then Firefox). But that was a shrinking minority of people on the internet at the turn of the millennium.

Practically everyone else used IE (90%+ of web traffic at its peak) and continued to do so until Google released Chrome and shone a light on how little Microsoft had been doing for nearly a decade.

Dominance was dominance however they got it, and they pissed it away through complacency, somewhat similarly to what they’re doing now.

They had internet explorer dominance, they pissed that away

They had PC gaming OS dominance, they’re now pissing that away

Sure, but it’s the valiant choice.

A truly valiant leader probably wouldn’t find themselves in the situation where it was necessary to do that

That wasn’t the question I was answering, but I’m sure very few if any
