Gotta put that Windows in the bin.

Oh that’s what happened to RieserFS

Same. But I still keep critical paper work in a fireproof safe, just in case.

Hard copies. You should always keep hardcopies of your most important documents, financial records and certifications. Especially when users can be locked out of a cloud storage these days because an AI decided to flag their account.

Hahaha, fair point.

I dont usually upvote posts about Reddit…

…but when i do they’re shooting themselves in the foot

Not to mention the patch being applied was being applied at boot, so rollback > patch > crash; repeat

I believe it means a transport where you get Kock massages.

Anyone else read “Transport NSFW” as his job title at first?

I hear what you’re saying here, but the parallel doesn’t work. People were dying of stage 4 lung cancer for years before they finally put warning labels on the product.

Unfortunately, people like this are going to have to keep saying it over and over until the message takes hold. It will take years.

I will have to take a look at Reaper!

In Windows 11 Microsoft made it quite clear, you are the testers. Updates are forced on home users, not corps. Corps get the updates after home users get them all force pushed and field test them.

I have not dove into yabridge yet. What DAW did you go with?

After poking around I decided to go with Bitwig and skip trying to go with getting Ableton working with Proton or Wine. I’ve actually been enjoying some of their default VSTs as I practice my piano again, but I do miss my paid VSTs a lot.

Have been really looking around at the vsts that have native Linux support though. Was really glad to see of u-he’s VSTs worked natively.

This is how marketing works in Asia. Major corps do it every bit as much. You have anime mascots or you don’t sell to anyone under 40, from my understanding.

Know what’s even more opt in? An official extension. Installed only if someone wants it.

I switched to LibreWolf and Mull a few months ago in preparation for this. I’ll come back to Firefox if the investors pull their collective heads from their asses.

This deadline they gave their users without announcing it that just passed comes to mind.

Guarantee they give zero shits about anyone’s copyright messages on comment on the 'verse. More tightly they integrate and the more this just becomes Facebook all over again

Throw a dead horse into the mix and we have a party.

Yeah this. Biggest mistake most people that hate tea make is they dont bother learning that tea has specific temps for brewing depending on the leaves and that pouring boiling water off the stove on it will make most teas bitter.

Many teas are best at 85-90C, just off the boil.

Yeah that’s fair. I’d have to figure out how people are getting on without layers, probably take myself back to basics and pretend I know nothing and see how the ‘learn from scratch’ track teaches these skills today.

OTOH, I also getting to the old dog point, not because I can’t learn new tricks, but because I have so many responsibilities I have little time to do so, which is another reason ideological camps like this form. Which frankly is the wrong reason for them to exist.

I should go figure out how the new apps work, but when I do need to do graphics (since its not my main bread and butter but usually an additional skill I need to help develop something) I habitually pull out the familiar to save time.
