Blakeslee claimed he was not targeting anyone with his antics but had a habit of placing his waste in Pringles cans and randomly throwing them from his car as he traveled down the road.

I guess that's... better?

"Loving Jesus" is a term TFI members use to describe their intimate, sexual relationship with Jesus. TFI describes its "Loving Jesus" teaching as a radical form of bridal theology. They believe the church of followers is Christ's bride, called to love and serve him with wifely fervor; however, this bridal theology is taken further, encouraging members to imagine Jesus is joining them during sexual intercourse and masturbation. Male members are cautioned to visualize themselves as women, in order to avoid a homosexual relationship with Jesus.

Linux users, and people who have not yet become linux users

As an engineer, i dont know how to feel about this. On the one hand, 19.99999 = 20. But on the other hand, 3^3 - 3 = 24.

Also, get a sleep study for sleep apnea. "It is estimated to affect 10% to 30% of adults in the United States but in many cases goes undiagnosed". -National Sleep Foundation

I've got a thunderbolt chip on an AMD motherboard, which doesn't usually happen, and I'm running an LG 5k monitor through it. I use an IBM model M over native PS/2. I've got a Ryzen 7, but a GTX 1060 cuz it still works. It's running Ultramarine Linux, based on Fedora.

I take a similar approach to my compositions and arrangements on Musescore. Anyone can download the sheet music file and edit it, and most everything I do is under Creative Commons attribution/noncommercial. A lot of other Musescore users do this, it allows for a lot more accessible and free sheet music of both modern and classical music.

Same, or maybe just throw a link up

According to the website, not open source. There are licensing issues with what remains of Commodore.

Don't forget Del

There's also Webkit, which a few foss browsers (ie gnome web, and whatever kde's browser is called) use instead of Chromium or Gecko, and Swift, a c++ based language that I haven't personally seen used much outside of iOS development.

I don't like Apple tho (:

I had to study things like qing dynasty china and the nubian empire in high school, so I would hope the rest of the world would study the beginnings of european settlment in the new world.

Herein lies the philosophical conundrum: if it looks like a duck, and is the size of a duck, is it not indeed now a duck?

whooosh

Fedora is a great foundation for stability and up to date software. I personally use Ultramarine Linux; it's a general purpose distro based on Fedora, but with more desktop environments, more available packages, more media codecs (plain fedora leaves out a bunch of codecs that you need to play audio or video files), and some more sane defaults. Even with all that, it isn't noticeably more bloated than Fedora; it just gives you more options and makes it so that you don't have to follow a "Things You MUST Do After I stalling Fedora" article.

Wayland works with Nvidia in my experience, and Wayland is remarkably stable and xorg-compatible. Folks will argue about that, but it's been great for the few years I've used it on my laptop and desktop. I know at least Ultramarine installs both, and you can switch between them on the login screen, so give it a shot.

If your games don't work, it's quite normal to dual boot windows just for gaming.

Also, you might consider making your home folder a separate partition. That means you can reinstall and switch distros while leaving your documents and media and such in place. That said, partitioning manually is hard to get the hang of; let me know if you want some help on that front.

Can confirm Gnome has Wayland/xorg switching in the same manner.

Podcasts! They're not all boring

There are a few ways.

  • The tuning root can be played manually (aloud or just for tuning) on the bass keyboard

  • another open source algorithm whose name has left me can recognize chords in real time and my algorithm can tune based on that

  • players can write a midi tuning track ahead of time to play along with

The algorithm will ideally be written to be portable the first time around, but its starting out on the instrument because I think the stradella bass layout lends itself to controlling the algorithm manually. Pressing a chord button simultaneously declares what notes you want played, the harmonic funtion you expext them to fulfill, and thereby how they should be tuned in relation to eachother. Other control schemes have a bit of ambiguity of intent, which we can work around, bit i think Stradella is better.

As for midi specifications, the instrument will have midi input and MPE output (look into MPE if you're not familiar, great stuff) to controll other digital hardware or software instruments. Once the algorithm is written, I hope it will be repackaged into various other formats (like a VST plugin, or a midi/MPE passthrough that runs on a PC or a dedicated midi hub).

Thanks! Render is by a friend of mine, based on my concept sketch

I've heard good things about Peppermint, and I personally think Bodhi is neat.

That should get you a wide variety.

I use Pulse SMS. It has cross platform sybc for every major os, and has a decent feature set. Pretty sure its an electron app though.

A solid option; consistent rhyme and meter, well written. Not that it would stop me, but it has been put to music by the great Benjamin Britten. I'm not going to listen to it in case I decide to write my own music, but here's a performance.

God damn, that hit me like a brick truck. Maybe someone can sing that, but I don't think I can.

I'm pretty happy on Ultramarine. Its like Fedora but with more repos by default, media drivers, more DE options, and a bunch of more reasonable defaults for daily all-purpose use.

Gears and cams, the firmest of ware.

MaXX is a new one for me, what's that like to use?

C++ is the only language I have any experience with, and it's a common enough choice for embedded development that i didnt see a need to learn a different language. If i had a programmer join who could work on the firmware and show me the ropes, id be willing to consider another language.

That's the one! Damned good on the eyes, too.

tl;dr?

How do you mean?
