I agree somewhat. An example might be a .md file describing a UI for commonly used tool that is invoked whenever you reference it. This could be a stripped down version of a complex UI for some software that has a lot of different uses (like 3D modeling programs and image editors) allowing the user to focus on the subset of work they do with it.
Bad actors may have created the bad system in the first place, right? You can maybe say it's a flaw in human nature to create bad systems in the first place, but maybe the real flaw is our inability to fix them?
>"Ring" means you are navigating linearly and circularly.
Ring is also a group of people, sometimes unified by a single purpose and lead by a "ringleader". That's the way webring is being used.
Poverty is a spectrum. Naturally, abject poverty is worse than regular poverty. I see too many people say "you're not poor, you have a phone" or "you're not homeless, you aren't sleeping on the sidewalk" (both of these have been said to me). There is a mismatch between what people imagine as poor and what poverty is, and of course, things could always be worse.
It's a terrible policy. I know someone who is 74 and never owned a computer. They own a smartphone but only know how to use the phone app and really don't understand texting. I was shocked when I learned this and I imagine there are many people like him.
Same here, everyone I've introduced to Live has been completely stumped by session view and preferred linear arrangement. I don't understand why it's the default view other than hanging on to the idea that this software is first a live looping tool and DAW second.
I use RSS for Reddit and don't plan to ever log in again. This latest upheaval reminded me I was spending too much time there and after taking a break I've realized most of the content is garbage. Now Reddit is just another feed to a site I don't participate in (like the cesspool that is Slashdot).
As someone who has written a lot of music using Pocket Operators I disagree. They have been part of my songwriting tool chain for years and have pretty much worked their way into every recording I've made since I bought them. They are the perfect accompaniment when sitting down with a guitar to write music either acting as a metronome, a groove to jam over, or a complete drum/bass/synth backup with an arrangement (16 patterns and 128 measures is enough to write a good song). Also, Pocket Operators are cheap as hell, most under $100.
Upvote for Apache Server Side Includes. Two years ago I was tasked with redesigning an important informational website that never got the proper attention because all devs were occupied with maintaining the different web application stacks. I wanted something future-proof that an intern could update, basically straight HTML and minimal CSS. I replaced anything that would normally use PHP (and in some cases JavaScript) with stuff built in to Apache. It's cool that Apache also supports conditionals.
My first impression was also that this was an ad for Hey. Maybe that's not what the author intended, but it reads that way to me and it's a bad first impression.
I used to like Opera for the built-in mail client but had always used Firefox out of principal. I've grown weary of FF's shenanigans and once I discovered Vivaldi had a mail/rss/calendar/notes built-in I jumped on it and I can't see myself using anything else, ever. I like having everything all in one monolithic app.
Those are generally for editing vocals. A de-esser is a narrow band compressor to used to soften the "s" in speech. De-clickers remove transient sounds, like the sound of your lips opening/closing between words.
It's not a common operation, but this is a massively important feature to have. Occasionally I clean up audio that's in such horrible condition I have to edit individual samples because there are no plugins that can do it automatically. For example: a pop or skip on a vinyl record. Sometimes you have to remove those by hand.
That's basically Substack, right? There is a lot of buzz around it right now. I haven't formed an opinion, I see a lot of potential good and bad in that model.
NICE! I found the one I made as well. Holy nostalgia. I was actually using the skin several years ago on the Linux player Audacious. I should install it again...
I really want Synfig to be great. I've used it several times over the past couple years, but it's extremely difficult to make anything. Unintuitive UI, sparse documentation, and crashes often. I would add it to the list of projects I support financially, but I haven't found a good use case for it.
I agree, it's difficult to do music on Linux. I almost punched my computer last weekend because it's so hard. However, two things I can say for sure is that the Linux native of Reaper works great and Ubuntu Studio presents a pretty good OOBE with Ardour. Nothing running on Linux compares to Ableton, so if that's your preferred workflow, just stick with that. Now, if someone could just write a good audio editor that works on Linux... (Audacity is complete garbage).
Once I saw the only way to fix this terrible MegaBar was by modifying code that will break later I realized I was no longer the target demographic and switched browsers.
