They pretty much forgot what social platforms were, from the country of Meta and Facebook, which leads the entire internet to respond:

Them: “States rights”

Conservatives: “noooo, not like that!”

Ext4 is faster, but I love BTRFS not just because of CoW, but subvolumes as well. You could probably get something similar going with LVFS, but I prefer that to be baked in, hence why I’m waiting for bcachefs, because it’ll up the ante with tighter integration, so that might translate to better performance.

Notice my use of the word might. BTRFS performance is not so great.

I’m going to switch from BTRFS at some point, but at this point that’s going to be a few years down the line.

Bro, this you? Yes, yes it is - because I found it in your post history.

Suffice to say, you don’t seem like a ACoolDude, but AWeirdDude.

And of course it’s Zousa inspired. My ears have just been defiled.

If it’s not “Trogdor 2: burninating the space time continuum”, then I’m not interested.

The history of pondering started in the era of Gorgamel, during the second dynasty of the luke warm giants. Teridius the meticulous was decorating his garden, when he spotted a round, reflective object.

As he sat down and started to stare at it he was spotted by a light catcher trying to steal the souls of the local faerie populace. This image was spread from mirrors to reflective ponds across the lands.

Old Teridius had suddenly spurred on a trend that would take the wizard college by storm, and have the local witches covens giggling over whose orb was most shiney.

And so ends this fake fantasy history lesson, largely because my team lead is banging on the stall door, telling me I’m not supposed to ponder the orb on company time. Screw you, Terry, it’s a mental health provision and you’re actively hindering it. Maybe you should ponder the orb - you creep.

Funny how Trump is not apart of that list.

He’s your classical New York neo-liberal. The worst kind of neo-liberal. A Raegen neo-liberal, who is - of course - the father of neo-liberalism, with his New Public Management and all that insane “eCoNoMiCaLly ReSpOnSiBlE gOvErNiNg”, or creating a troth for no-bid contracts for all your friends to come and suck at the tax payers teet as public services take nosedive in quality as bridges across the land crumble from old age - like Trump.

I’m basically describing all US politics, and indeed European neo-liberalism in a nutshell (fuck you, Macron - and fuck the Torries). Republicans be like “NO ITS THE DEMS”, and then go around and do exactly the same fucking thing as they force Grindr to scale up their local infrastructure.

*I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again:

goddamn neo-liberals, ESPECIALLY Raegen

I wanna shove an HDMI up their asses with how they project so much

Also, Harris 2024, because fuck you.

She prosecuted a little under 2000, about 45 went to jail…

Op is either misinformed or lying.

Wow, a prosecutor who worked under the “hard on crime” US laws? Say it ain’t so!

The laws are dumb. Corporal punishment is dumb. It’s a fancy word for state sanctioned murder.

Every year US states executes people who have been put through kangaroo courts with circumstantial evidence.

This is a federal problem that has been part of US politics since the inception of CRT.

Bail and bonds were just ways of preventing Freeman to actually make any money or lives for them selves so they would end up in prison chain gangs.

Hey, here’s a great idea. Lift old laws that stifle economic development “in certain areas”, create more combined domestic and commercial areas, put money into public housing, and for the love of God

reform the goddamn justice system

Petition Harris even. Organise, FFS!

Audacity is now basically part of the Muse family, which is a for profit venture, with it’s own - wait for it 🥁🥁🥁🥁 store front launcher

Nothing makes me hate music software (or games) more than yee old SaaS/DRM pile-on, especially when you add another goddamn launcher. I’m trying to lay low latency buffers here, not facilitate another UI stack and background processes. I nuke the printer spool, and you think I want more? I will download the cracked version, even if I own the damned software, to get rid of all that.

Jokes aside, considering the whole funding issue in the open source world, MuseHub (the “plugin boutique”) takes a fairly common route in the audio software world, since pretty much every single one of these DAW, plugin or sample pack outfits have a storefront - or use one, if not several.

If say the Audacity we know is still free, but the add-ons cost money, that’s fine. It’s very “freemium”, but as long as they don’t remove VST3 or CLAP support, it’s fairly harmless.

In regards to tracking, is it opt-out, opt-in, identifiable or anonymized telemetry? It’s contentious, to say the least, but if it’s a concern, you could always block domains - even though the average user would probably not concern themselves, and at that point I wonder if it’s better than other creepy freemium models that are even more predatory.

Though it could be the type of telemetry used in most modern DRMs to confirm ownership by using plenty of CPU cycles and network communication to validate identity.

Because DRMs is the worst technology segment invented in all of modern history, and it needs to die in a fire - I swear * TO GOD* you do not need to hit several friggin domain many times a day, once is enough - in fact, once is too much! You can take your iLok and shove it. I paid for this software, and if I put a Jolly Roger in it, it’s because your DRM drains my soul.

your launcher is bad and you should feel bad

I swear, this heckles my kekles sooo much.

Damn, these rpm-ostree distroes are taking off. I mean tbf, having a “cloud native” approach (a two buzzword combo) with system images is kind of great for testing, and it shows people can now actually carve out some systems in a relatively effective manner. Good show!

That is supposing it is rpm-ostree, because ostree can actually rebase to an entire different distribution. There’s people getting arch working as an ostree install, and eventually, we’ll have gone over to a new dawn, where you don’t need to reinstall, just rebase.

Goddamn open source is awesome.

Friggin’ GIMP 2 is sun setting. GIMP 3 with everything replaced in GEGL and non-distructive editing is the new standard. Who tf needs Photoshop?

Thanks Microsoft for spotting that, and thanks to Google and CloudFlare for blocking or redirecting Polifyll.io network traffic.

Credit where credit is due.

Namaste.

Moving me tf away from the part of town I was being raised in… or, alternatively: not having a distant father. You can’t teach a boy what they need over just one weekend. FFS.

Laugh all you want, but you know Microsoft will make a TUI version of VSCode and Copilot+ will be implemented into BASH.

Oh you can promote your optimism for the future all you want, but I don’t respond well to optimism, and that’s because I’ve seen the light - or rather the darkness - of a market dependant upon venture capital in league with political elites, an unholy alliance forged in an attempt to try and recoup the losses for investments made in beanie babies. Oh sure, the cocaine, sex workers and ritualistic sacrifice are cool at first, as are membership points that come with it, which you can spend in the cabal gift shop for a sex slave to go, but I cannot in good conscience tolerate the terms of service because it requires citizenry in a supposed state.

And it because of one thing. Do you know what that thing is?

The op and article being sussy baka withstanding, we do understand how the markets work and how balls are pushed forward.

I however have been greenwashed to before thank you very much and have been jaded enough to consider a life of eco terrorism. I even keep a spare packet of fluoride to sha-shaaw people in the face with in case things get rough.

I’m watching you, op…
