To be fair, had he lived longer then he would have received a Nobel prize for his work in astro physics in relation to gravitational collapse. This work would later become far more important than his other work as his contributions would lead to the discovery of black holes

Sounds like an this days was based on "so like we asked people months after if they got the alerts and some people said they did and some people said they don't remember so we counted that as no"

I remember when I was younger RC plane and helicopter community was all about doing night flights with lots of lights and other things on their vehicles. I remember seeing tricking stuff on the fronts of RC hobby magazines with guides on how to do it.

The thing about open pit mining vs. Underground is, when you are faced with options on how to solve a problem it's very rare that safe, fast, inexpensive, and practical are all in the same choice.

And boy do you guys ever talk about Windows... Like constantly. Go on any Linux subreddit or community and 8 of the top 10 posts will mention Windows.

That's a prime example, well done!

Audio engineer here. Anything ALSA inherently does not "get it right". It's time for Linux to get HAL audio drivers

I don't think I could live without timelines. Makes tracking hours and miles a million times easier when invoicing people.

I don't think that's related

Like the small logo and the black and white logos seen above?

Fewer kernel calls between hardware and software for loerw latency processing of audio is a must, there is a minimum amount of latency you can have with audio for anyone performing and that's debated by a total round trip time frame. From the second someone plays a note on say a guitar to the moment the resulting sound comes out of their speakers and into their ears is rather critical for timing.

Trouble is to do most anything with digital audio you require a buffer (here we add more latency) so that we can do the things we need to. Your audio device will have it's own buffer (and in the case of ALSA and Linux) your operating system will implement what's considered an audio "server" which will add is own buffer to route to whatever you are thinking you need to do and blah blah so on so forth. HAL drivers like ASIO mean you have much higher stability and much lower latency as you now have fewer buffers which is less added latency, fewer interruptus to deal with, and everything just kinda works in harmony. If you want to learn more consider first learning what ALSA is or any of the terms I originally used. I suggested starting with the wiki page where all of this is already explained

Sensational title but most people have been asking for this change. Also not sure why it's upsetting. I'm guessing the Apple bots that got purged have found a new home?

Careful, it's only been about a week since they purged all the apple bots, they were down to about 12 from the original 35,000 but now it's back up to 15,000.

I'm pretty sure the other browsers have to comply too

You think Apple is better than Meta? Meta is fucking awful but at least they aren't lobbying the US government so they can keep using slave labor.

You drank craft beer to get drunk?

Hey , so you need to add REAPER to the audio editing list here, even if you feel a need to put an asterisk next to it. Development is extremely open and advanced. Really the only reason it's not foss is because it was built on using elastique which is proprietary. The developer lead dev (Justin Frankel) is a very outspoken advocate for foss and has a plethora of open source software available. And to add to this REAPER is the most advanced, efficient, and full featured option in the entire world of audio software so it should be a real point of pride for the community and I'm sure if you asked any of the devs who develop the other audio programs on the list, they would say the exact same thing.

Are you saying IBM isn't innovative? Dude, they like, effectively invented computers. The stuff they are doing with power10, their big mainframe systems and quantum computers (which I'm not sure if you are aware, aren't profitable at all). If anything I would say IBM is the company that is innovating, nobody else is getting nearly as far in the future as they are.

Thank you for this

It appears there is. They are using it to determine an areas general feelings are towards a US military presence in an area (whether the local population feels they need help from the US or not) as a means of helping to determine best locations for setting up garrisons and bases or whatever during a conflict. Which makes sense as you don't want to choose an area that really doesn't want you there as they likely become an asset to the enemy and put your soldiers at risk.

You could move to what that isn't

Windows has pretty great high dpi, Apple privacy is pretty awful and they hide everything they are doing, security is definitely getting worse on MacOS while the opposite is the case on Windows. And Apple still doesn't super touchscreen which is an immediate deal breaker

Digital mixers. I know a lot of people who use them and know them but very few know how they work internally which is fascinating and interesting and the only people who do are under NDA's

East Cleveland is an interesting place for sure. I have a client there and it's definitely not in great shape. Their city government is definitely failing them in a big way, and they are also heavily impacted by the issue with suburbs in regards to tax revenue that much of metropolitan Cleveland has had to deal with. For those reading who aren't up to speed on things, the city of Cleveland, by total landmass, is pretty small. Cuyahoga county itself is composed of 38 cities, 19 villages, and two townships which means that a lot of different areas grant themselves their own individual tax laws and guess what, they all feel like they are paying too much in taxes. So, they decide themselves that they get lower taxes, problem is, the tax revenue required has not actually decreased at all, in fact, by creating a new local government you have now increased the operating costs of your area. So really by having people move into these smaller suburbs you have really just created special groups of individuals who are wealthier, are a greater stress on county resources, and choose to pay less in taxes essentially bleeding the community dry. If you were to pull up a map of Cuyahoga county you will actually get a pretty good laugh. East Cleveland itself is the only outlier in this situation and it exists itself in a very complicated and sad situation that involves redlining, systemic racism, corporate greed and lack of regulation. Ironically its borders are surrounded by some of the wealthiest communities in the state.

Honestly the part that makes me the most upset about the situation is just how easy it is to solve.

I guess if you've only played with it briefly you could feel that way but it's really not the case, especially when you consider convertibles. Fingerprints on the screen are no more of an issue on a laptop as they would be on your phone obviously. Apples only point for not supporting touchscreen doesn't actually have anything to do with any of those factors actually, their reasoning is only related to maximizing revenue from the iPad as a convertible laptop well replace the need for a tablet. I mean you can stand around and say touchscreens are bad and uncomfortable but there is a reason they are so popular and used so commonly.

Yes how, sorry I use Swype and I'm a moron. They are compounding issues

Depends on the car

Yeah

"trust me bro"

Nobody is

They still don't have touchscreen support for MacOS. Windows added. Multi-touch sorry in the early 00's. It's absolute insanity

Hope for MacOS not make the list? It's probably the most gate kept thing that exists

ASIO is still not an audio driver running in exclusive mode, my brother in Christ how do you not understand this

Maybe I'm missing something, what does this advocacy group stand to benefit from banning pitbulls? The NRA is backed by weapons manufacturers. This seems to be people who actually see a problem and are taking actions to help protect people.

Strip mining is all four of those

Okay but what is the motive for them to do this. You are claiming malice but you aren't providing a motive for said malice

Your anecdote is appreciated

I am not sure if you are joking, apple astroturfs both Reddit and Lemmy, a bunch of apple bots literally got purged last week. Open your eyes

I think you replied to the wrong comment
