Hey. Yeah you. No don't look over your shoulder. I'm not talking to the guy behind you. Look, we've been meaning to tell you that you're doing a pretty good job out there. Proud of you. Keep up the good work.

  • Yeah I feel Linux has a lot of dead ends. Its easy to follow the wrong path. My saving grace has always been that once you get things working, you know how you did it and it likely won't change much.

    So really its a big search, but once you hit a steady state it really feels like home.

  • Are you saying that if you aren't capitalist then you are a tanky? That may be a hint reductionist lol.

  • Awesome sounds good!

  • Ooof it can get pretty techy. Once you get it set up you likely won't have to mess with it again though.

    I've done that set up many times, so if you want help I'm happy to answer questions.

    I use a pipewire w/ qjackctl to connect Ardour to my speakers and midi keyboard. I do this on fedora Linux.

  • Definitely watch some gameplay. The super early game is quite self explanatory, but noita quickly escalates to puzzles so hard a community needs to get together to solve them.

    Playing Noita with all the knowledge of the wider community has made so many cool bosses actually beatable, and made the whole game a lot more fun for me.

  • Its great! It will not hesitate to kill you until you learn it.

    Binding of Isaac has a bit of invincibility after every hit, and that works for the game really well. You need to be able to recover and not die immediately.

    Noita has no invincibility frames like that. You need to be able to die immediately. An instant death is essential for the game tone and balance.

  • Surge XT can do 98% of everything I need. It has a ton of waveforms, filter types, and modulation options. It's a great synth.

    In the rare case that SurgeXT can't do what I want, I turn to zynaddsubfx. It is complicated, but really one of the wildest synths out there.

    Last resort is this open source fork of VCV rack I found. So at the end of the day if you need to you can just build the synth you need.

  • Noita!: I agree with many in dubbing it my favorite single player game.

    It is a pixel art alechemy and magic roguelike where every pixel is physically simulated and destroyable. Find spells and wands and combine them in programmer like ways to multiply their power. Many tricks in the game are so strong they feel like cheating, but the game has been built with challenges that surpass every trick.

    It is the epitome of endlessly repayable. Especially switching between the few mods that drastically change the map.

    I can easily have a god run last me 5-10 hours. But I still have a lot of fun with the more common 30min-2hr runs.

  • Here is my software set up for open source music making (I often use midi and audio input):

    Core software:

    • Ardour as my DAW.
    • Liquid SFZ as my SFZ player.
    • SurgeXT as my soft synth.

    For SFZ instruments:

    • Virtual Playing Orchesta (free full orchestra)
    • Versilion freeware instruments (mostly orchestra)
    • Blonde Bop drumkit

    Raw samples:

    For effects:

    • LSP plugins for my basics (eq, compression, etc)
    • Airwindows Plugins for fun effects (and some basics)

    Ardour is supposed to have a midi related update for its next big release, so stay tuned.


    From my perspective, the simplest set up would be Ardour and SFZ instruments. Mainly because I'm quite used to those two.

    For set up you'd just open Ardour, make a new midi track, place liquidsfz as the first plugin on the track, then open liquidsfz and browse to the SFZ file you want to use.

    Then you just draw in the midi notes you want using either the edit or draw tool.

  • For most shareholders in most businesses, the risk is that you are no longer as rich as your peers.

    Most US households can't weather a $1000 unexpected expense without going into debt.

    To be real, capital gains are the definition of inequality. It is making money by having enough money to own something. There is no other economic force that drives inequality more.

    Small business is a decent minority of US employers. It can't be ignored, but it is the unlikely case when sampling by employee or just by random citizen.

    At most an owner can be reimbursed for their costs of starting the business. Past that I don't see any reason to give them a special share of the profits. Even that feels generous given how unequal we are, and that fact that having the money to start a business means you are likely more privileged than your employees.

  • Depends, are you considering the fact that 90% of stocks are owned by the top 10% of Americans? Also are you considering that being in the top 10% means you likely have rich friends and family that could bail you out? I think black rock is going to be fine.

    Most businesses aren't like my friends parents little Chinese restraunt.

    To me using the, "think of the shareholders" line is silly for a reason. The biggest privilege is the privilege to make mistakes without becoming impoverished. Workers have it much harder in that respect.

    Edit: grammer

  • Skill issue

  • Lmao

  • I'm all for having more options. Though deep down I just want everyone to work on Ardour lol.

    How do these browser based DAWs stay funded? Is there enough community money to keep these things up?

  • I sorta agree. Given how well known the phenomenon is, and that we admit we are unequipped to deal with it, OnlyFans should probably inform new models that they are likely to have their nudes dispersed into the internet.

    We can't blame an individual cause we don't know them, but OnlyFans for sure knows enough to be blamed.

  • Best I can offer is Hannah Montana linux

  • He seems to be winding down and just posting for fun now. He isn't as big as he used to be.

    As much as I think his wealth is immoral, his content and motivations seem pretty wholesome lately.

  • I get the point your making. But I feel your aggravation, and it makes me aggravated. It feels like ya just want to argue. If you wanted to have a good faith discussion you wouldn't portray the other side like that.

    The one thing I'll say is that political homogeny can be called an echo chamber or a community depending on your angle. If you never leave it's an echo chamber, but if you have other sources then its just a community. I wouldn't call that objectively a bad thing.

  • I haven't found him tastless in a long while. He seems to just be vibing living his own life at this point.
