That's literally the game the sim community has been begging for for ages now. What a shame.

Ontario is a boring as fuck, car-centric, anti-human shit hole. I say this as an Ontarian.

If all you want to see is how badly our urban planners have forsaken us, come to Ontario.

Go somewhere genuinely interesting like Québec, Newfoundland or BC. Hell, go to Yukon if you're feeling particularly adventurous.

Ontario has very little in terms of natural wonder. If you come here, you're going to Toronto for big city stuff or you're a sucker for punishment as you'll spend 75% of your trip driving places. At least if you go to QC, BC, or NL there's shit to look at while you spend your trip budget on fuel and car rental costs.

I still have my library of tracks from the mid 2000s on a drive in my PC. Hell, I still have my iPod Classic.

That said, I spend 99% of my time streaming music.

That said², I never ever engage with playlists. They only serve to poison the well that is my algorithm. I have a tightly curated Youtube video algorithm and, even though Youtube Music's algorithm is dogshit compared to Spotify, I still protect it at all costs.

You can still be an active listener on streaming services.

I'm currently three quarters of the way through Decapitated's Organic Hallucinosis record while I clean the house. For the last month straight I've been mainlining Steven Wilson's solo records as well as Porcupine Tree records. Music is not dead for the active listeners in the world. The focus should be on encouraging kids to appreciate a good album every once in a while.

Personally, I'm not feeling that same vibe. I think the solidarity against the US is a very good thing, but the sheer amount of ways Canada is just "America Light" is very depressing. Its to the point that our flag has been so sullied by absolutely shit tier movements in the last 5 years that I can't stand to see it anymore.

Every time I see a private flag pole, bumper stickers or anything kind of patriotic merch my knee jerk reaction is "I bet this dude's a fuckwad." I know that I'm painting with a huge and shitty brush but I just can't even fight against it anymore. I know it's wrong. I just don't care, and that makes me sad.

I live comfortably here, but given even a minutely convenient reason to emigrate I think I'd take it.

Canada is a car infested, anti-human shit hole just like America. To paraphrase Steve Harris of Iron Maiden a bit "We oil the jaws of the ~~war~~ capitalist machine and feed it with our ~~babies~~ immigrants."

Wine is a translation layer, not an emulator so you'll likely appear in the Linux users list.

Anything that Steven Wilson has made. Dude's a living legend.

I only do baisc maintenance and setups for my friends now.

I've heard of beta blockers, but I've never looked into it. I'm kind of hesitant when it comes to dealing with any kind of side effects.

I worked at probably the best luthiery in North America. Got let go because I couldn't keep up. I have tremors which makes fine dextrous work very difficult. At the time I was also going through a brutal break-up too.

Really bad time for me. Also working at this place was like playing a couple good games of beer league hockey and immediately getting drafted into an NHL team. I feel like if I took another shot at it, it would go much better second time around. But it just wasn't meant to be at the time. No matter what, it was always going to be a massive uphill climb, but I was super dedicated to doing it and doing it well. It's unfortunate it came to such an abrupt end, but I understand why it had to happen.

Who is this?

There's plenty of fiction written on this premise. It only makes sense that an LLM will write something similar to what it's already ingested.

Nobara's not going anywhere regardless of how this goes down. At least on Nobara you won't have to worry about your distro going tits up any time soon.

I totally understand where you're coming from but I also understand why people like the curated experience. When I went to Mexico for the first time, I went to a resort because in that moment all I cared about was not having to care about anything, if you know what I mean.

There's a time and a place for both styles of travel.

 

Hey everyone,

Not sure I've seen this particular technique before.

Here's a tutorial on how you can use REAPER's stock gate plugin to generate MIDI that you can send to an EQ to modulate frequency bands to eliminate bleed in your drum tracks. This is super powerful on toms.

Inspired by the FabFilter Pro-MB bleed reduction tricks.

This is an all instruments/vocals scratch-made cover of the track that got me into Black Metal. A truly iconic masterpiece of atmosphere. I always wanted to do a cover of this track. I'm very happy with how this turned out.

Thanks to Yabridge (https://github.com/robbert-vdh/yabridge) I was able to record, mix, and master this entirely on a Linux system (Nobara) running Reaper with stock Reaper plugins, many FOSS plugins, and a couple choice paid plugins; namely GGD Invasion and Sketch Cassette II. Everything else was free or open source by choice.

Hey folks, I'm hoping to find French Youtube channels to subscribe to based on the topics above. I don't get to engage much with French and I'm trying to maintain my ability to understand it and speak it. I figured if I inject some french content into my Youtube algorithm that would be very helpful.

Any recommendations would be appreciated. :)

 

...in what proximity would you have to be to the sun and how fast would you have to be spinning (like a rotisserie chicken) so that your light side didn't burn and your dark side didn't freeze; rotating just enough to keep a relatively stable temperature?

Absolutely absurd, I know but this question somehow popped into my head and won't leave. 😆🐔🔥🧊

[EDIT] Inb4 more people try to suggest that I'm mourning the loss of this scumbag capitalist fuck: No, I'm not sad he's dead. No, I don't think corporate murder is acceptable and no, I would not ever rat to police if I knew the shooter and yes, I believe the punishment fits the crimes he's committed against untold thousands of people. THAT SAID...

I'm not down with vigilante murder or anything because it seems like the slipperiest of slopes toward chaos, but what other option is there in a situation where someone seeks to make an impact in this way? You can't just beat up evil CEOs and let them go back to work. It would be naïve to expect them to change their ways when faced with consequences for their actions and then promptly let go. It just seems like the chances that it emboldens their penchant for exploitative behaviour and disdain for people in need are too high.

We're just born into and strapped to this capitalist ride and expected to sit quiet and make these leeches their billions. How else can this cancerous greed possibly be dealt with? Is vigilante murder the only effective option? Honest questions. I'm terribly conflicted and I'm genuinely curious what more reasonable and intelligent minds than mine think about this because I can't think of an alternative to murder in this case.

Ideally, we wouldn't have to resort to vigilante killings to level the playing field but I 100% understand that we don't live in a society where the rich will ever give a fuck about the rest of us or would ever sacrifice their power over us in the name of goodwill.

 

Real therapy cat vibes.

 
 

What outside wing thing? How to dinner time? How to exit tub (sphynx)? 4am zoomies land speed record? How to second dinner time? How to outside?

Post what you think your cat's search history would be!

 

I was just reading this thread... https://sh.itjust.works/post/23476261

...and it got me thinking about something that I've wanted for a long time. Why is it that keyboards have not evolved to have dedicated copy/paste keys left of the main board? I'd love to see an additional column of keys left of Esc->Ctrl configurable as macros at least. I do a lot of copy/paste for work. The current shortcuts arent terrible or anything but they're not exactly comfortable. I'd rather move my whole hand to the left for a macro key than contort to hit the current shortcut.

What do you think?
