Go on Elon, just another line of ket and you’ll get your revenge

Souls games.

I really want to like them too, but they seemingly aren’t compatible with how I play games. I need to be able to put a game down for a couple of weeks and not feel like I’m back at square one because the specific muscle memory for that game has gone.

Just kinda kills the fun when the game is effectively telling me to get good, when I don’t actually have the amount of free time IRL necessary to do that.

Funny, we had similar in our ostensibly actually left wing party in the UK a few years ago. We have a democratic leadership process and the labour membership elected an actually left-of-centre leader

Reports followed Jeremy Corbyn’s run as leader of the party that the BlaIrite wing (centre right part of the party) did everything in their power to sabotage him.

Social liberals are almost as megalomaniac as standard conservatives, it sadly seems. If they don’t get to be in charge, no one does, in their eyes.

I found out about them about a year ago thanks to Lemmy, funnily

I was wondering why one of the Aussie instances was called quokk.au

The two main “hard left” instances have been defederated from LW too (hex and grad)

LML is ostensibly a general instance with a strong left wing slant. So I’m assuming those are the users you’re referring to. Every time I’ve personally seen a LML user step over the line for a given community’s rules, they have been banned for it.

Predominantly though, those users are capable of understanding rules and following them.

That’s literally all anyone needs to do.

It’s not really about political views. It’s simply about not being an asshole.

The solution is to behave with civility online and you don’t get banned. No one needs to break instance rules.

If someone is incapable of doing that, why should they get to participate?

The fact that they happen to predominantly come with right wing view points is, frankly, secondary. It’s literally the bare minimum amount of effort in life to simply not be a nuisance.

Truly baffling that left wing policies designed to help the most people are appealing to most people

Wow is uncyclopedia still a thing?!

I genuinely don’t think I’ve even thought about it in over 15 years

The amount of effort necessary doesn’t make it worth it usually

Ah you figured it out,

Was going to say if you’ve not got any alarms set, an application will be (ab)using the system alarm functionality to do something at a scheduled time

Seems a little odd for signal to use it for scheduled messages, but that’s what’s going on regardless

I assume this is coming at some point, tbh

I personally reckon they’re working on something YAbridge-esque to allow people to bring their VSTs to the push in standalone mode. If they can actually nail that, it’s an absolute no brainer to then release a full Linux version of the DAW and finally allow people like me to make the switch

Every time I’ve tried to run Ableton on Linux over the years (most recently about Christmas last year), it’s the VST support that lets me down. I’ve got hundreds of VSTs I’ve used in various projects over the past couple of decades and I can’t switch unless I know they all work properly—projects not loading or sounding different is unacceptable. I need to be able to open anything I’ve worked on over the years and be able to get right into the creativity without tinkering, as that is what I already have today.

Until that day, I’ve got to begrudgingly keep windows around.

You would not want to do this for latency reasons

Did I say “only”?

Fascists are the most dangerous and frankly, alarmingly flooding the internet with their shit right now

“Magnitudes” is a borderline dangerous understatement of the difference in their output versus any other corner of political thought.

Hyper targeted advertising on the internet means you categorically will not be seeing anything close to the worst of it.

Of course it is.

Fascists can create the illusions they need to convince morons whilst at the same time making them distrust reality (“nah that’s AI”)

A lot of people are going to suffer

Sure that was a job and not a psychology experiment you were subjected to?

I was struggling to think of something I truly hate

I was coming up with a lot of bad tracks, sure, but they don’t really inspire hatered

This one however, viscerally upsetting from the first bar

It does actually seem like it’s only the US for now

Unless I’ve misunderstood your comment

I like how foul language etc is halfway down the list

There was the odd diamond in the rough, but I agree it has been getting increasingly worse.

Weirdly enough I was staying subscribed because if I quit I’d lose my current price for good. Makes no difference now

They are losing business, because revenue goes down.

They will negotiate the prices they pay publishers for a set of keys to use in humble choice to mean they get their 15% cut of the revenue. If a publisher sets the price too high, they’ll go elsewhere until they can get their margin.

If they lose ~25% of their subscribers over a ~40% price hike, they will be right back where they started in terms of profit—which is a place where they would consider hiking the price and losing customers.
