I have peepee doodoo caca brains.
…well, is he wrong? Exploiting kids is the most lucrative endeavour. In fact, if we’re going by piece meal and not lump sum, young people are a fat wad of cash.
So of course you knew we need to take every musical art form and turn it into sensory overload on stilts, because money.
Your little crotchgoblins are a path to your wallet.
That exactly it. M$ execs look at this stat and probably go “we need to make it more unsecure, for the shareholders - of course.”
“Cuba is such a shit hole.”
Consistently has some of the best doctors. Also, healthcare workers from Kenya? Some of the best in the world.
Such is writing policy. Mayhaps it needs to be reformed down the line as well.
Public-private key signing, using up to date cryptography. That’s it. It’s also “quantum safe”, because all cryptography used by the public goes through peer review processes.
Microsoft as well as Meta have contracted Whisper Systems, but there’s no way of guaranteeing that the signing process is functionally working or if it’s been broken. If it’s run server side, you have no clue. If it’s run client side, there’s still a question if the process hasn’t been tampered with in some way.
Remember: there is no such thing as cryptography with a backdoor. At that point, it’s just a secrets system.
By all means. After Apple has painted themselves in a corner, when the legislation has been loophole proofed, that’s when Apple gets hit in the face with the Brussels effect - like a big, floppy, dong slapped across Steve Apple’s mouth in every country out there.
I’ll do a dance for every country. I’ll do a shimmy for Botswana, a conga for Japan, a shake for Sebia, etc, etc.
Slap! Other cheek. Slayap! Other cheek! And so on and so forth.
Hopefully.
You know, it probably is the time to ask myself: who is the bigger evil? Microsoft or Apple?
I’ve boycotted Apple products for so long that I can barely remember my white clamshell MacBook… my special little boy T_T I miss it.
But anyways, maybe if I can’t find a way to make Windows stop being a little bitch I might have to consider moving to a Mac :(
Unless Ableton ports live and max to Linux, in which case Fedora Atomic go brrrr.
A bit more involved indeed. It’s not like I didn’t try. The goal was to get it as good or as close to the performance you get in Windows.
Again, if you’re just using a mouse and keyboard to compose music, that’s okay, but you’ll put pressure on the Live engine buffer and most likely suffer dropouts - or buffer overruns - as soon as you add a little bit of processing. Juxtaposed to windows, that well runeth dry real quick.
Realtime MIDI and audio is even harder, because getting midi signals from several USB devices cleanly into wine is not as cut and dry as you’d think. There’d need to be some kind of pass thru on the kernel level to really get some of these MIDI devices working. Perhaps even pass thru of USB audio interfaces might be the ticket. But as is? NGL, kind of limited… and useless for me :/
Sadness.
EDIT: I was using the TKG version of wine, but this seems slightly better… might have to give it a retry. Good thing I left 200GB empty at the end of my SSD :P
I’ve just recently moved over to 11, because Windows 10 is going EOL in 2025. I needed to switch at some point anyways, so I might as well get it over with. I’m wondering if consumers can get access to LTSC releases of Windows though. Perhaps some form of enterprise edition, if LTSC editions aren’t publicly available.
The problem being of course that I can’t move from my precious Ableton Live and I really don’t want a MacBook. Before I installed 11 I tried it under wine, using Bazzite no less. Could’ve gone with a more music centric distribution, but everything points towards it not being stable for live usage - like at all, even with WineASIO. Couldn’t get the Push to register, and the buffer was hammered with just a little bit of processing. So, yeah…
My old Windows 10 install was Atlas OS, but now I’m trying Revision OS for 11. It must be doing something right for Windows Defender to quarantine one of it’s files. High praise from Caesar indeed. Revision is also a light modification, whereas Atlas OS pretty much nukes all the things - with varying effects and successes. In the end, they are community projects that obviously ruffle Microsoft’s feathers. So, yeah…
It’s a question of how to make a music workstation by choosing the right windows edition, or how to hack at the system until Microsoft limbs are gimped. Also, I don’t think I’ll need a printer spool. In any case, it’s a pain in my arse that I now also have to find a way to nuke Copilot. That will surely just wreck my buffer absolutely. “But you could use it for music creation”… what’s the fun in that?
In any case, please list your favourite key reseller sites. I might need to go shopping for something special, and Pro might not cut it.
Also known as catching up to Discord, until they reach feature parity and some people actually use it, and then BAM: service discontinued.
Some women are based. They’re just like “I’m gonna find a partner and just go hard. Let’s look on social media. Bam. Found one.” You have to appreciate, nay - be in respect and awe of the pure gall, the nerve, the gumption of this lady, the globes on this bitch. She made a life like it was nothing. I am intimidated, elated and my breath has been taken away.
God speed, dear lady. God speed…
…The Movie Critic.
Coming to a theatre near you, is the story about a man…
“ACHEM!!!”
…at least we think he is a man, but he may also be part potato…
“Hachie-machie!”
…he could be a hybrid between a pygmy and Swizz monarchs…
“I thought Switzerland was a constitutional democracy”
…people just tune in for the funny shape of his head.
“Hiiiii, guuuyyy~”
…oh god, he’s looking at us. Don’t look in his direction…
“It stinks.”
A not so true story, rooted in the sick and twisted mind of a Hollywood manuscript writer who probably needs a long mental health hiatus… it’s…
…The Movie Critic…
Staring Seth Rogan as the highly intelligent raptor.

Automattic are the people behind wordpress.com, JetPack and WooCommerce. The amount of people who use their software is staggering. I’ve set up a fair deal of WordPress instances myself.
WordPress also recently became ActivityPub compatible, in a single-user mode - I think. This actually makes me consider it for my own blog, but I ick at PHP - probably undeservedly, as modern optimizations make it lightweight and quick (cache all the things).
What I’m saying is that they might make having on-site chat and self-hosting a possibility. If they provided a sort of freemium WooCommerce thing, where some add-ons important to certain operations cost money, but that the chat integration is a compliment to Gutenberg and the theming system? Bruh. I’m there.
That being said, freemium sucks, but it’s better than not being able to self-host, as bills have to be paid - for both Automattic, other companies and freelance developers ^^;
In the worst timeline drivers and firmware get distributed through snaps with a mandatory account login.
Knock on wood…
Some subversion of 3, which is fundamental to a lot of software found out in the wild.
And this is why you can’t trust corporations. They won’t stand up for you, or give you any chance at all, if another corporation wants to see scorched earth. The DMCA, ya’ll.
Tell me you’re a creatively bankrupt fuck without telling me you’re a creatively bankrupt fuck.
…well of course it’s beneficial to their product, and a detriment against everyone else, which is why I called it a conflict of interest.
Either that, or you used the wrong word. Care to elaborate?
This is why you sign and encrypt the contents of email. If the recipient doesn’t have the public key, they can’t read the content.
Allowing a service provider to “handle your keys” is tantamount to letting the fox watch the henhouse.
Proton doesn’t provide IMAP/SMTP access for free accounts, so you won’t be able to encrypt emails locally.
This ultimately is the tech version of “trust me bro”. This means you are as secure on Proton as you are on GMail, depending upon how you use the service.
