The charm is that as humans it's physically impossible to do the same thing exactly the say way twice.

If I play 3 notes, without something like quantization it's always going to be a bit different from you playing the same 3.

Anything AI with vocals sounds completely non sensical. I guess you can feed it words, but at that point just record yourself. I'm not all that good , but that's the point.

I’m not really a fan here.

I want to be able to rap like Twista. If I use AI to change my voice and speed it up, it’s kinda fake.

Where’s the originality in that. I’ll never be *that good*, but I have fun doing it.

Now I guess using AI strictly for mastering is OK , but even then the results haven’t been good for me.

I like Linux alot.

But if the biggest multiplayer games straight up don't support it, that needs to be acknowledged.

Add League of Legends to the list.

I've had Deck verified games straight up refuse to work on Linux.

It always feels like it's my fault somehow. 'Well of COURSE Wayland doesn't work, skill issue'. Vs Windows where I can blame Microsoft.

Recent big multiplayer games:

Marathon, no Linux support.

Call of Duty, no Linux support.

Battlefield 6, no Linux support.

Valorant, no Linux support.

The Finals works and is great, but I'd be mindful of what games I'm giving up if considering a full switch

"most" is doing a lot of work in that sentence.

Multiplayer games generally don't.

Haven't tried this one yet, but in my experience it's like 90% of single player games work and the remaining 10% will never work.

I also like the timer. Eventually I’d like to do other things and the timer ends the games.

No.

I’d pay 15$ for a second book that had more details and explanations though.

AI still makes up stuff, not fun with books

> Make music for yourself my friend. Nobody will care how its made if it's cool music.

Exactly, and I prefer using instagram VSTs.

Last night I wasted 30$ trying to vibe code a midi tool that doesn’t work. Many of the same externalities that apply to social media also apply to AI…

I don’t solely rely on Instagram for this. My more expensive VSTs, the complete Korg Collection, I purchased after owning Korg Gadget for a while.

But if I see something cool for 20$ on instagram, why not?

> 3. spent time learning to build your own plugins or VCV Rack modules.

I don’t like C++ or other low level programming languages.

I guess I could now vibe code something, but then the comments would chastise me for that.

I probably do have enough VSTs at this point to sit down and actually finish a project. But ehh.

I think advertising can be ethical. It just needs to be honest.

How do you find your niche VSTs ?

They don’t exactly advertise them on the evening news.

I’m too lazy to make it, but now I want a short form video platform that’s 100% ads.

Nothing else. Call it HonestSales.

I actually like Instagram, primarily for the ads.

Most people don’t buy VSTs( music production software plugins ). I spend at least 50$ a month on them.

Sunday I spent an hour browsing instagram waiting for an ad to appear again. It wasn’t in my ad history for some reason. I found it and made a purchase.

I think these types of sites can work, if users can strictly op into what they see. For the most part my instagram feed is just music and I’ve found out about at least 4 concerts from instagram.

Just this year, 3/4 were artists I was already a fan of and the last 1 I found on instagram.

A walking simulator that has you fighting between multiple dimensions and is one of the best looking games of its generation.

At the core of this customers have a right to choose what they spin money on.

Access to an online based experience which will be discontinued in the future, that's what Roblox or Fortnite is.

When I spend money in a F2P game, I understand I don't have any rights outside of using it after the publisher ends support.

I don't want the government to tell me how to spend my money.

I do want all these gamers making noise to spend a fraction of the effort making community driven open source games.

I dream often of high quality open source games. The community would raise funds for development with an understanding of everything being released under MIT or GPL later.

FOSS is ownership.

Everything else is a temporary license to use which can be terminated without cause at any time. I just brought Marathon and it's fun.

But because Sony only sold me a license , they have a right to switch off the servers and make it useless tomorrow.

The only regulation I'd support here is a minimum service commitment at purchase. Something like " Your access to this product will terminate in June of 2029. Extensions to this service may be granted at publisher discretion."

This needs to be BIG RED PRINT when I hand over my money. Not hidden on page 15 of a service agreement.

I went ahead and wishlisted his legend of California game. Probably won’t use Box3D, I’m not a fan of low level programming. I will look forward to the abstraction layers above it

This is very correct.

However, occasionally you’ll see code so bad you need to leave.

You need to lie in your next interview. Your co workers, who are doing such a poor job it’s borderline fraud, are fantastic smart people.

You have a great relationship with your manager who knows the code pretends to do things it actually doesn’t, and tells you the KPIs come first.

But some mean ole man who you’ve never met is trying to lay everyone off.

That’s the only reason to ever quit a job. Pending blameless layoffs.

Feels like the premise for a spy comedy with a protagonist whose mind can’t be read.

When the bad guys try they just get the lyrics to Yoko Ono music.

Congrats!

But statistically America lags behind most other nations of similar development levels.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_maternal_...

Not to mention the lack of maternity leave or real worker protections. A family member was fired for taking off time during a pregnancy. Everyone's fine now, but she definitely had a rough patch.

A big part of this comes down to the lack of any real safety net here.

Thank God.

If only because this would open up people born here to having their citizenship retroactively revoked.

The constitution is pretty clear. If you don't like it amend it.

If anything we need to expand it to include anyone who gives birth in this country. If you're willing to deal with our horrible maternity care system and help keep up our declining population, you deserve a blue passport.

Once I meet a Swedish girl whose parents were from XYZ.

She went on a rant on how new refugees from XYZ were ruining everything.

That’s the immigration debate in most of the world. The moment a new immigrant gets their citizenship they often feel they’re the last good one and all pathways need to be shutdown.

I’ll switch to a different vpn. It’s one thing to donate a nominal amount as a private citizen. It’s a whole different matter to be the primary source of funding.
