You'd THINK the article would link to a source about the fingerprinting in question instead of 90% filler slop and ads for their own service... Anyone got a link?

Chat, I don't feel this guy gets it.

(By which I mean, of course you could, same as you could replace any pronoun with one or several nouns, that being the entire deal with pro-nouns. We could but pronouns save us from having to do that.)

Or the Dodgy. I'm partial to that one.

My fav neopronoun by far:

That, now, is indeed a genuine issue. Trump has stated that his end game is annexation, and experience has shown that when he sounds like he's got a bee in his bonnet about something, however bonkers, he's actually serious about it. So I'm not seeing him stop the aggression on Canada.

which I’m sure we did somehow

Trudeau sold him measures that Canada had already voted on. See this post from the end of last year. https://www.canada.ca/en/public-safety-canada/news/2024/12/the-government-of-canadas-border-plan-significant-investments-to-strengthen-border-security-and-our-immigration-system.html

Trudeau "caved" by giving Trump essentially zilch, apparently assuming -- perhaps not incorrectly -- that Trump would be that easily swindled.

Nope? They (Colombia) got exactly what they wanted as far as In understand. Trump caved, the flights will have to follow the conditions dictated by Colombia. It's telling that the press is selling this as a Trump win.

For doing actual music production, yeah, switching to Windows is an option you need to consider, annoyingly.

Reaper is powerful, but getting it set up right can be an adventure. I've had better luck with Bitwig. Bitwig also happens to support Pipewire out of the box. This will relieve you from having to deal with JACK.

If you're going to be dealing with JACK, then you may want to look into Cadence from the KXStudio project. It will help you set up JACK in such a way that, for instance, PulseAudio (if you have not switched to Pipewire yet) will route its output through JACK, allowing you to hear YouTube as expected.

In all cases, I would very much avoid using ALSA directly for sound input/output. (Using it for MIDI is sometimes fine.)

So, in short, I'd start with installing Pipewire and checking out the Bitwig demo, and if that doesn't work for you, install Cadence and use it to manage JACK.

I had missed that. Wild.

It... depends. There is some great tooling for Python -- this was less true only a few years ago, mind you -- but the landscape is very much in flux, and usage of the modern stuff is not yet widespread. And a lot of the legacy stuff has a whole host of pitfalls.

Things are broadly progressing in the right direction, and I'd say I'm cautiously optimistic, although if you have to deal with anything related to conda then for the time being: good luck, and sorry.

The Earth's orbit is an ellipse, not a circle, and therefore the Earth speeds up or slows down depending on where on its orbit it is at the time. In turn this means that the duration of the solar day fluctuates from day to day, from a bit under 24h to a bit over 24h and back.

So if you take a picture every 24h precisely the sun will appear to move horizontally a little bit on top of the expected vertical movement.

I mean, he's been implementing hard right policies all along, so...
