Reading this and the garbage truck pulled up outside and picked up our garbage just as I finished reading.
I'm not even mad, I just want to know how you did that.
@stavvers Totally!
And by the way have you ever seen a pairing of the major hormones to Jungian or Greek Mythological archetypes? Shouldn't that be a thing?
Today is the sort of day where I *really* benefited from rediscovering this thread.
@stavvers Did Hmm.
Joke aside, the Greeks were amazing storytellers but lazy in their monster design. 95% of monsters were just "random animal pieces paired together". So yes, an equus-gallus combination is probably in there. Multiple times.

Genuine question here for Linux users and musicians, composers, guitar players etc. I am being told by several mouthy people online that "nobody uses linux" & "nobody would use linux for music making"
How many of you use or have used Linux as a vehicle for recording music?
Please retoot/repost to help get a handle on this, cheers!
#linux #music #musicmaking #DAW #ubuntu #debian #linuxmint #recording #homerecording #homestudio #guitar #piano #musictech #EDM #electronicmusic #metal #ableton
- I currently use Linux to make music (39%, 105 votes)
- I used Linux in the past for music (26%, 70 votes)
- I've never used Linux for music applications (34%, 90 votes)
I'm the original/lead dev of Ardour, an open-source/libre cross-platform DAW that runs on Linux, Windows and macOS. People can get our software prebuilt from us for all 3 platforms; for Linux, they can get it from their distro; or they can self-build.
We get pingbacks from the builds we supply, which is likely around 50% of all the Linux users of Ardour.
We have as many Linux users by this metric as we do Windows users.
Not a super useful statistic, but it's something.
@PaulDavisTheFirst yeah comrade, you know this poll is going to be bias. fedi over-represents linux users compared to musicians overall.
but yes, have and continue to use linux for everything including making music.

Diese nervige Trinkgeld-Abfrage auf Bezahlterminals nimmt mir jede Barrierefreiheit weg, die kontaktlose Kartenzahlung gebracht hat, weil ich auf einmal sehen muss, was auf dem Touchscreen steht.
Nein, ich geb dem Verkaufsteam in der Bäckerei kein Trinkgeld. Auch wenn sie mit mir deutlich mehr Arbeit haben, weil ich das Angebot und die Preise auch nicht sehen kann.
Jetzt muss ich auch noch vertrauen, dass sie sich nicht heimlich oder „aus Versehen“ selbst Trinkgeld klicken.
Wenn ihr eine Dienstleistung designed, dann baut sie doch entweder Full-Service oder Full-Self-Service. Bei beidem kann ich vorher planen, wie ich sie nutze und ob ich dafür Hilfe in irgendeiner Weise brauche. Aber so eine Mischung kombiniert einfach nur das schlechteste aus beiden Welten.
Stellt euch ein Restaurant vor, bei dem ich die Bestellung zwar von Angestellten am Platz aufgenommen bekomme, aber sie trotzdem selbst irgendwo abholen muss. Sowas ist das.
„Sie sind viel zu jung um blind zu sein, wenn ich das mal so sagen darf“.
Wie ich so was liebe!
"So jung und schon einen Schwerbehindertenausweis!"
"Ist aber nur ein Spazierstock, oder?" (Nein, ich falle sonst.)
"Wann war denn ihr Unfall?" (Das ist angeboren!)
"In dem Alter schon einen Schlaganfall!" (Nei-en!)
"Die will nur nicht zuhören, so junge Leute mit Hörgeräten gibt's gar nicht!" (Ich war 17, dankeschön!)
🤮🤢😡
Das fiese an der Terminals ist das die Belegung Rotiert fürs Trinkgeld, da gibt es auch Dokus drüber du könntest dich nicht mal dran anpassen selbst wenn man irgendwie mit den Touch teilen klar kommen würde.
Die sind ziemlich besch... in Hinsicht auf Baierefreiheit.

in reply to jonny (good kind) • • •"We are stopping the thing that lets you make and share curated collections of offline pages with a little algorithmic affinity recommendation overlay because people don't want to manage reading lists and want to only have algorithmic recommendations.
Don't worry we basically fully replaced them with bookmarks (??) and a different tab orientation (??) because people still want to manage reading lists (??). But you can't actually import your pocket export to those things, and since they don't actually replace them we won't just move your data to them and will just delete it in a few months.
In conclusion, this is why pivoting to focus on the same gimmicks everyone else is focusing on and transitioning your personalized collections to generic AI slop reflects our being the most independent organization ever (???) Which lets us prioritize personalization (????)"
excuse me can you repeat that? blink twice if you need someone to come get you

in reply to jonny (good kind) • • •I wouldn't say I know a ton of people, but I know enough, and none of them use Firefox unless they are a privacy wingnut or otherwise have some specific reason to hate Google and Apple. It just isn't a better piece of software than Chrome, it can't be and never will be, Google has infinity dollars, it competed on a different axis and that was fine for the people the use it because privacy is more important than perf or ux. The 2% of browser share that use Firefox are those privacy Wingnuts.
The one moz employee that frequently wanders into these threads once promised to show us the user research that is informing them and making them think "people who use Firefox are fine with ads, love them, don't mind having surprise advertising tech running in the browser that explicitly tells them it won't do that, and are apparently now clambering for more AI in their browser" and I suspect we probably won't. There just is no way that someone who thinks that the series of bad calls Firefox has made recently are actually fine would use Firefox.

in reply to jonny (good kind) • • •I'm not defending their AI strategy but I don't think it's *that “AI”*. Examples of the AI they invest in is local in-browser translation and fake review detection. It’s more of a "traditional" ML rather than fancy LLM.
There also was text-to-speech model done in collab with Mozilla (with fully available and open voice samples data set) but I don't know if it was ever even intended to be used in the browser.
I actually use their translation extension (which uses their translation model). I also use Google Translate extension. Google Translate outright refuses to translate some bits of text (5-10%) while Mozilla's extension translates everything. GT is a tiny bit better when it works but it's extremely frustrating when it doesn’t. Consistency of Mozilla's translation is much more preferable to me. I'd even go as far as saying it's good AI.

in reply to jonny (good kind) • • •well, LIbrewolf seems a better choice. Even then, you will be owned by 52/8 54/8 34/8 and 35/8 netblocks from Amazon and Google unless you get rid of push, ping, shopping the control addresses and a few other things.
You see, they put a lot of work into this, mainly out of self interest. It's not for you.
If you're online, they will try to stop you from changing or even scrolling down to certain things in about.config
They infiltrate everything.
keep on eye on that pile of underwear.

in reply to jonny (good kind) • • •the primary use case for Firefox is Tree Style Tabs
That's the big one.
Containers (for separating logins more than privacy) and a working ublock origin probably make up the rest.

in reply to jonny (good kind) • • •A shitton of stuff goes into a browser, but I'm pretty sure for >90% of users it would not make a difference whatsoever if they're using Chrome or Firefox. The differences between modern browsers are honestly so minimal, no average person is going to notice.
Privacy? A few odd extensions? RAM usage?
I'd argue that the only people who notice *any difference at all* are people on a similar level of technological expertise as us "privacy wingnuts"
