I always thought that was the joke?

I configured uBlock Origin to block shorts so I don't accidentally watch that garbage. I consider it psychological self-defense.

That's because they're a malware company:

this has been going on in several different forms for years now so I’m just counting the days until the next annoying pop-up appears.

The solution is to not use their products. Use Linux.

PHP?! Jesus Christ!

Oh sweet summer child

Yeah we get it, we've all seen Game of Thrones, too. If you have to be a condescending dick, at least be original.

I've never used Traktor but I like Mixxx. What problems did you have with it?

There's a long list of supported controllers. The process for making your own mappings can indeed be a bit cumbersome, but it also seems to be quite powerful in the kind of features it can support, thanks to javascript integration.

Not sure about the library management, seems to work well enough for me.

The one thing that takes a bit to get used to is the borrow checker. Advice there is don't fight it. Trust the compiler to tell you your code is wrong. Once you understand the ownership/borrowing rules, it's honestly just a joy to code in. Static typing protects you from the inevitable mess that every large python project becomes, and the borrow checker gives you the comfort and safety you've come to expect from memory safe languages without the overhead of a garbage collector.

I used WineASIO with Guitar Rig for a long time and it worked well and with acceptably low latency. It can be a hassle to set up though and I don't know how it plays along with pipewire these days.

The reason I want to build this kind of proxy is that any app would be able to use it with minimal changes (configurable API server). For proprietary apps, you're still at the mercy of the devs, but their work is greatly simplified. For open source apps such as e.g. RedReader, Infinity, anyone could make those changes. Another thing that it might be useful for is bots and the like. If I manage to implement support for posting, those could work on Lemmy as well. I personally would like to see the return of kg2bee.

An API proxy to allow 3rd party reddit clients to browse Lemmy with only minimal code changes. I've got it showing comments now :) Source isn't uploaded yet, but it will be soon.

Who?

Polls in 2016 were more accurate than 2012, but almost everyone except 538 drew the wrong conclusions: https://fivethirtyeight.com/features/why-fivethirtyeight-gave-trump-a-better-chance-than-almost-anyone-else/

Still working on this, help is welcome :)

Since boost isn't open source, the dev would have to allow you to configure the API endpoint (so the app would connect to the proxy instead of reddit.com), or someone would have to hack the app, which would probably be somewhat difficult.
