Empirically: a pandemic. :(

Pern!

Although the person who picked the Culture is absolutely on to something.

Correct, AFAIU.

Basic Ikea office chair plus ergonomic butt cushion. No need to spend a ton of money.

"Oh, ta gueule."

Oh, shut the fuck up. It's really crude language. Which makes it even funnier.

It's a trade-off that works for many. Not much you and I can do about it, even if it's frustrating.

Thank you! I know all these things. This still doesn't help when the DAW support and VST compatibility aren't there.

If you're intent on doing music production on Linux, at least do yourself a favor and get a Reaper license, there are few enough pro DAWs that are Linux native. But be aware that many of the big industry VSTs are still not going to work. If you're fine sticking to e.g. ZynAddSubFX or Pianoteq, though, knock yourself out.

But you can't reasonably expect musicians to jump those hoops and abandon their fav VSTs when their Windows tooling is there, and works.

JACK is very cool and if you're willing to tinker there's some really awesome stuff that can be done with LADISH session management and e.g. native Linux VSTs.

It's still a non-option for musicians who just want to do music, not tinkering.

Well! Thank you for being a good sport about it. :)

Arrival. Great flick.

[–] Balinares@pawb.social 13 points 1 year ago (5 children)

Yeah, definitely the vibe has changed. It's kind of sad.

Normalisation absolutely helps, yes. All the monstrous GOP rhetoric hinges on othering trans folks. An emoji is a tiny step, but every little helps. Unironically thank you for asking, that was actually an excellent and important question.
