I would be interested in any resources you have on improving latency with pipework. Windows has the ASIO driver which gives direct access to the Audi interface. I didn’t think pipewire was able to match it, but I’ll be glad to be wrong.

I took a brief looked at yabridge a while ago, but struggled. Sounds like I should revisit it.

Let’s get “The last Airbender” out of the way now.

Rocko’s Modern Life - classic 90s stuff

Omg I keep thinking of all the good ones.

Pinky and the brain

Fineas and Pherb

Ed. Edd. And eddy.

Reaper is definitely the way to go. While it is not FOSS I feel it has the spirit of Linux. It is extremely customisable and flexible and it has all the features you expect from a good DAW.

The real issue is finding instrument and effect plugins that work on Linux. The popular ones are all windows or Mac only because they depend on DRM control software that doesn’t work on Linux.

Honestly there are so many ways pdfs can hold unique information that retaining the same format is probably not going to work.

The 2 options I suggest are . . .

1. Use a tool to extra the text into a plain text fromat then paste it into word along with screen shots of any images you need.
2. You could try converting each page to a JPG image using something like Gimp. You could then desaturate it or convert it to pure black and white so it reveals any hidden text which you can paint over. If you want the images in colour just crop them out from the original file and paste into the new b&w copy. This is a crap description but hopefully it makes the point.

An effectively infinite power source. It is scalable for use in phones, cars houses, ships, factories. Obviously I can’t publish it because it would never make it through the patent process without me and anyone I know being disappeared.

Yes I made one. Yes it works. No I’m never sharing it with anyone.

There needs to be some sort of EU directive that once a hardware device sells enough units they MUST provide the equivalent software features and functions available on windows for Linux, and not just a plain driver with no config options.

Imagine being able to buy hardware knowing you can configure it in Linux without relying on some unsupported thing made by the community.

Default behaviour for Word is to auto correct hyphens to em dashes. It has annoyed me for years.

The weird thing about the US using political terms slightly differently to the rest of the world. LIberal is a prime example.

Vote. For what little it seems to matter never skip an election. Always vote. Sometimes things change.

I really would like to switch but can’t for one reason. It lacks a user friendly logon screen like literally every other similar system. I’ve tested jellyfin with my family. They liked it, but they all hated having to enter a username and password instead of just having a list of profiles to select, so they voted no. This seems like such a trivial thing to implement, and would improve accessibility for lots of people.

Is there a black market for Doctors (other than charities) ? Feels like an opportunity for an enterprising group of doctors.

Forking the medical industry with free treatment probably needs a gofundme . . . . . Or what the rest of the world calls a national health service.

The obvious question that needs asking is, can we fork?

Just having some dignity about it.

I’m not going down at all. Saying that makes it sound like right wingers have already won.

I’m sorry. Being vitriolic and spreading more hate is the only right way to react? I’m glad he is gone, and causes right wing shits like him to realise they are not immune to consequences, is great. I just hate the way people are sharing his views in the process. They are just doing his work for him.

In another context maybe, but linking it with his death doesn’t help the cause.

You didn’t read my post did you? The man was a shit. I said as much. The point I’m making is why give him or his bat shit crazy ideas more air time now he IS dead. Also, have some dignity.

Nope. The guy was clearly a shit. Just hope people rise above it and never speak about him again, there are better things to waste our effort on.

We already knew his views were wild and insane but killing him for it was a bad idea and cruel to his family and friends (I’m guessing he had some). Metaphorically jumping up and down on his grave is just bad taste. The best thing we can do is consign him to an obscure footnote in history and desist from publishing his views for him.

edit to the replies - Holy hell this place has turned into reddit on a bad.
