Lessons from Canada: 1. CASH MUST NEVER BE ABOLISHED.
2. MONEY IN THE BANK IS NOT SAFE FROM GOVERNMENT SEIZURE.
3. THE WEF AND ITS YOUNG LEADERS ARE A TERRORIST ORGANIZATION.
4. CITIZENS WITHOUT WEAPONS ARE -LIKE SLAVES - DEFENCELESS AGAINST STATE OPPRESSION.
5. CONSTITUTIONS THAT DO NOT CATEGORICALLY EXCLUDE ALL INTRUSIONS INTO CIVIL LIBERTIES ARE WORTHLESS.

Okay so recently on of course social media (tiktok, YouTube, Facebook, Instagram etc) people have been spewing boner misinformation about this console.
Before you down vote me to oblivion l hear me out. Yes. The console has a 120hz refresh rate... But people are saying this console is outputting 4k resolution at 120fps docked...... 120fps isn't even an option docked (tested on LTT) and not only that, only a very very small amount of games will be 120fps.
Cyberpunk runs at 30fps, or 40 on performance. But people are saying it runs 60fps at 4k!? Why? Why would people just blatantly lie about this information when you can get it actually tested?
Game prices? I understand the Nintendo cult is always stiff. But for the last 10 years these people bitched about $70 games. And now they are just throwing excuse after excuse defending $80 games now. But the lie I've been hearing is "Sony has been selling $80 games since the PS5 came out"
No... No it hasn't. There is not one base PS5 game for $80 ever made.
So.. why are people saying this stuff? It's weird.
Anyways. I can tell this console will be a monster in 1-2 years before the $600 OLED model drops. I'm bummed Nintendo kind of fucked the market for consumers. Now every dev will start games at $80 and no one will blame Nintendo for it in the future. (Like if Ubisoft release the division 3 for $80 people will just blame Ubisoft). Don't forget who started the price hikes (not inflation)
So the JC Penny's effect is a phenomenon in consumer psychology where consumers react negatively to something even though it is better to them but it doesn't feel better.
It is named after the store JC Penny's who got rid of sales and instead lower prices to what they would be on sale all the time. This was better for the consumer but consumers liked sales so they hated it.

Thousands line US-41 in Fort Myers, Florida for ‘No Kings’ protest... #NoKings Signs read >>> "Democracy not Monarchy." "No cons. No clowns. No kings." "No crowns. No thrones. No kings." "Republican for democracy. Not oligarchs and kings." youtu.be/DOst2GnDO0E?...
My home turf is deeeeep red. It voted 80% Republican and is in MTG's district. I actually shed some tears of surprise and relief when I pulled up to our local #NoKings protest at the biggest intersection in town and saw all the people there. There were 6 counter protestors, but they stayed in their lane. Lots more honks of support from passersby than I'd expected, too. It felt SO good to be among like-minded people.
Favorite signs were "JD Vance Ate My Dog" and "Keep Your Mits Off My Bits."

#NoKings #Harleysville is a soft wrap. Hundreds of folks lined up along Main Street (PA Route 63) in Lower Salford Township, Pa. to #protest with signs and bells starting at 3:30. Video on Facebook indicates easily upwards of a thousand people. For reference the township has a population of about 15,000.
Enthusiastic support from local traffic in our red district with honking horns and friendly waves. Only a few scattered folks driving by with one thumb down or one finger up. The passing Cybertruck driver did not look proud.
Lots of friendly faces I’ve seen around and many I met for the first time. Inspired some real #hope in me today that’s been lacking recently.

As expected, the quilted protest sign was a hit with quilters (and a smidge confusing for non-quilters)

Oh, and I hope that Fairfax County organizers see that it's GOOD to have lots of rally sites all over the county rather than just expecting folks will go to DC or Manassas.
It was nice to have a rally spot that wasn't 25+ miles away from my home, and in a place I'm familiar with.
Cause DC = higher likelihood of encountering law enforcement, and Manassas = me just getting fucking lost.
And nobody can claim that protestors are being "bused in".
Who would bus 4000 people into Coupeville WA (per recent boost)?
Ich habe vorhin mit meinem Techniker gesprochen, der aus dem Iran geflüchtet ist. Seine gesamte Familie lebt aber noch da. Sie wollen endlich frei von diesem Regime wieder leben dürfen, und hoffen auch, dass die Bomben nicht sie als Bevölkerung treffen.
Er hat mir mal erzählt, dass die Mehrheit im Iran ihre Regierung verabscheut. Kaum eine Familie, die nicht wen verloren hat, durch dessen Schergen. Nur die meisten sind zu arm, um sich so zu bewaffnen als das sie ernsthaft Widerstand leisten können. Die reichen Eliten kontrollieren dieses Land und sorgen über gut bezahlte Milizen dafür, dass die Furcht die Bevölkerung ruhig hält. Überall gibt es Spitzel, die zuhören und verraten.
Und so hoffen die Iraner*innen, dass sie von außen befreit werden. Und können selbst nur mit Angst und Wut danebenstehen, weil sie es aus eigener Kraft nicht schaffen.

My partner and I are running Manjaro and very new to it. Trying to switch as much as possible over to daily use with Manjaro.
We have pipewire, not pulseaudio
We record multiple times a week on OBS, and my partner and I are in the same room. We have two mics side by side both inputs going into my PC. Linux, and therefore OBS, are recognizing the two mic inputs separately as you might expect.
OBS can set up both of these separate inputs, but the issue is we're having significant problems with echo and the noise suppression/noise gates are not sufficient.
This was not an issue on windows, where we used Voicemeeter to combine our inputs into one mic for OBS. I am looking to emulate that on Linux to see if it solves our problems.
We have tried a mic merge sink, but it creates an OUTPUT device, not an input device.
SOLUTION:
QPWGraph was the answer (or something like it, Helvum was also recommended) While it looks intimidating at first you just need to understand it's a series of outputs and inputs and you play mix and match. This allowed us to take the outputs of the mics and connect them directly to a single OBS mic source. This 100% did all that Voicemeeter was doing for us, and the results were also the same.
We do not experience echo, overlap, feedback, or any of the issues we were having by adding the two mics separately in OBS. Our issue was NOT the setup, as some people focused on here. As soon as we got the mics going into that same input, all was good and we successfully ran a recording session 100% in Manjaro.
In the end, this did everything we wanted from Voicemeeter + MORE, as I can now isolate different outputs as well. So for instance in recordings I can manage the volume of discord and the background music separately. So this was an amazing solution and the result was exactly what was needed, and ultimately was much easier than Voicemeeter.
Thank you to those here that recommended it, and the people at the Manjaro forums.
I've just created an OBS audio capture device, then opened qpwgraph and put both mic's into it.
It should do what you want, but I am not sure that will fix the problem.
I managed to go to one of the smaller (turned out to be not that small) #NoKings protests in a small town in Texas. I wasn't sure if I would be brave enough to go, so I didn't make a sign, but I did carry a US flag. And so did a LOT of other people.
It wasn't nearly as scary as I thought it would be. I was still a bit nervous. (I REALLY don't like crowds.) But I found a spot near the end that wasn't too crowded. It was actually fun. I'm so glad I went.
