As someone who writes electronic music and is pretty familiar with synths, effects and DSP in general, I call bullshit on the title of the article. It should read:

"A whole bunch of synths and/or samplers, stereo panned and processed with a whole stack of effects, using a sped-up recording of Earth's magnetic field as a trigger of said generators".

This is not even remotely the sound of Earth's magnetic field.

FaaF, failure as a feature

Translating this from agendese to plain English:

We don't want backyard producers to compete with any of our product lines.

We want to feed the population with what we deem healthy for them, and prevent them from deviating from our approved diet.

Came to testify the same, lol)))

The society where children "will probably" have less friends for not having a key to access this privilege, in this case a gadget, is totally FUBAR.

Haha, man, gotta love how you get downvoted for wanting to be a proper loving father and not someone who outsources the upbringing of their children to youtube and roblox!

The problem of service life being too long, which brings profits down.

Downvoters must have some skin in the game)

Dislike it or not, no material will endure getting bent 180° at a radius this small many times a day without developing some sort of visible artifacts, let alone with the layer of light-emitting components embedded in it.

Planned obsolescence presented as a feature.

But there is shortage of sensible jobs which bring satisfaction, are not swamped in bureaucracy or, conversely, in the frenzy to attain recursive success-in-success-in-success yesterday with inhuman cutting-edge team-building techniques, are not devoid of any sense and can boast a collective of nice people rather than an entangled skein of snakes and spiders.

And at the same time there is a growing abundance of artificially created worries for those who want to remain independent and sell their work directly.

If painters are paid for their paintings and not for songs they sing in discordant voices at exhibitions, builders - for buildings and not for juggling steel beams while wearing clown suits, medics - for healing and not for trying to pitch home-baked heart-shaped cookies to their patients, why on Earth programmers must make their direct product free and invent schemes to make their work profitable?

Well, because "ethics"!

Because someone takes the work you dedicated countless hours of your lifetime to, and gains off it without any effort while you don't, no?

Not into games, but have the same sentiment towards Microsoft (with VSCode) and other companies and communities which give away software that all but clones commercial analogs while drawing profits off something else, effectively squeezing those who sell software for a living out of business.

>Double Commander is absolutely free <,comma> open source software.

Implies free as in beer as well, unless someone rubs my nose into the price stated somewhere on the website.

In a world run by utter psychopaths who print money out of thin air for all those grants to award to AI, data mining and surveillance R&D, there is no trace of doubt those areas are inevitably going to be weaponized and used against the worst enemy of the state - the individuality.

This is Punitive Psychiatry 2.0

No it's not about patents and legalese. It's about human(e) attitude.

Christian Ghisler has been developing Total Commander for 27 years, since 1995. While he didn't invent the idea of two-pane file manager and more or less reimplemented Norton Commander in proper graphics-mode GUI, he added so much more to it over those three decades that it wouldn't be right to call it a copy of NC; moreover, he didn't ship it for free, he priced it at the same $49.

What the author of Copy, sorry, Double Commander does is pure and simple dumping. It's like standing next to a bakery and giving away same cakes for free. Does that feel right?

I wonder how the development of Double Commander is backed financially.

Absolutely not to bash the offer (looks pretty nice!), but IMO the biggest obstacle towards self-hosting is not the lack of appropriate hardware, but the dreadful combo of IPv4 + symmetric NAT shoved down the throats of us mere mortals (contemptuously dubbed "consumers") by ISPs (which I really think is not their whim but a directive from above to reinforce the monopoly of the state on the world's information flow, which implies surveillance, censorship and data harvesting).

Simply not being able to just run a server with ports open to the outer world on a home connection is one of the nails in the coffin of freedom.

We'll see a lot more 'conspiracy theories' proving out to be perfect practices in the near future, and the funniest thing is that none of those who label critically thinking people as tinfoil hats would admit their fallacy, on the contrary - they'll be ardently asserting that they 'definitely saw it coming' too!

Cognitive dissonance is a scary thing, makes people doublethink by repressing the conflict between expectation and observation into the subconscious.

Will it achieve latency on par with ASIO, in the ballpark of single-digit milliseconds?

Will check, thanks!

pick any

Everything covid, global warming, world famine, broken supply chain -related.

Dreaming of HN where 100% of entries are like this and 0% are propaganda and narrative steering.

Rest assured, if the agenda ever u-turns into "global cooling", google will follow with "heating related failure" reports.

> We haven’t killed 90% of all plankton

But have killed the ability to tell propaganda from facts in 90% of people.

Being a benefactor doesn't trump being an abuser at the same time.

Must be avoiding the stigma of the broken promise not to be evil.

It's all cool and certainly a breakthrough, but Atoms, Pentiums and Celerons.. Wake me up when this thing decrypts mainstream Core i7 microcode!

Roblox must die, the monster that eats children.
