Yeah, I don't know in what world DRM is supposed to stop people ripping stuff, it only seems to hurt paying users, ultimately if it comes out of a screen you can always capture the output, no amount of DRM will ever prevent this so why bother <insert conspiracy vs Hanlon's razor theories here> .

The irony is that as a Linux user (only SD for us), and a user with poor internet and thus shitty streaming speed, DRM pushes me towards torrenting everything I "buy" from these platforms anyway, just for the privileged of being able to watch what i'm paying for without being a blurry over-compressed mess, without having my device rooted by a third party, and not needing to be blessed with a consistent high speed internet connection.

I've said it before, torrenting today is as good as the experience of buying music on a physical medium in the 90s... you bought it, took it home, and played it in fully quality uninterrupted, END OF STORY. streaming services still haven't matched this experience.
My setup slowly changes as the years progress but things are generally pretty simple. Right now the only hardware I have is a RME Babyface Pro FS, an arturia polybrute, an ableton push2, and Neumann KH310 monitors and the KH750 DSP subwoofer. In the past I've owned the Moog SUB37 CV and an endless list of eurorack hardware.

Software most frequently used: All the stuff that comes bundled in with Ableton Live Suite (their plugins are amazing, don't sleep on it - just because it comes w/ your DAW doesn't mean it sucks), Arturia pigments, Vital (also free, better than serum in my opinion), u-he Diva.

For compressors I'm really using Ableton's stock compressor and glue compressor mostly but reach for DMG TrackComp a lot. Fabfilter Saturn2 for saturation.
Car chases are often filler like action scenes in general are filler, IMO.

It's not universally true and depends on how consequential the scenes are. If you could flash "<insert fight scene here where X gets the upper hand>" instead and not miss much, I don't want it.

Movies with top, top notch action and/or better integrated action are exceptions. The original Matrix, John Wick movies, Baby Driver, The Italian Job, Mission Impossible, etc.

Superhero movies are usually not (it feels like they paste the drama and the action together in editing and it's dreadful).

> (this sentence applies to the furious films as well, skipping the chase scenes there gives you the dumbest drama of all time)

Well, yes, and I don't watch those movies :d.

(I don't actually skip these car chases, but I do often zone out.)
Seems like the amount was decided by the court. Presumably they would have just levied a larger fine if it was a business that might plausibly just ignore the order and keep infringing on the license
The stock strap doesn't feel secure to me, even with headphones over it - I get shy about moving my head for fear I'll lose the headset. The "elite strap"'s knob-tightening mechanism holds everything much more firmly in place.
I'm a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints.

I read scriptures every day (Book of Mormon, Bible, Doctrine and Covenants) for 10-30 minutes. I turned 40 this year and have a goal to read all of those scriptures cover to cover before my next birthday.

I pray every day as well, at least at night, often when I wake up, and almost always before meals (unless I'm at a restaurant or something).

Weekly I go to church, and go help with the youth activities. I also go visit families and widows regularly — or at least I try to.

I try to worship at the temple (different than the regular weekly church) about monthly.

And I pay 10% of my income as a tithing and give some each month as a "fast offering" to help the needy.

Back to the day to day stuff, I try not to swear, try to be kind, honest, and all the other things Christ was and would be.
Would ReactOS work for you? Or Wine on a *nix?
At least with IRC you can use a VPN and self host a server.

Discord can, and is highly incentivized to, identify and track you across the internet.

Idk if they do this, but it shouldn’t be that hard in this day and age to build a profile on users based on messages and activity. That can be cross referenced with other sources of data to identify you, especially if it’s done manually by like an FBI agent or whatever.
> I don't think the crash requirements need to compare to commercial aviation, but to cars. This is competing with cars.

A lot of car crashes are not fatal. Would you be able to say the same of electric airplanes? I'm guessing fatality rate will be much higher, and with added collateral damage of a lithium ion bomb falling from the sky onto other cars, buildings, etc. the public will not tolerate electric plane crash rates the same as car crashes.
> Yes, undeniably so, but the same applies to non-Asian groups.

You’re the one who wanted to focus on Asians:

> > As usual in the American racial discourse, this argument entirely ignores the huge gaping hole in its side that is the Asian community.

But now that you aren’t managing to prove your point you (perhaps) want to broaden the topic again. Or?

> Nigerian Americans have the highest # of PhDs per 1000 people. Albanian Americans (white) are among the poorest Americans, while Russians are among the richest ones.

Ok? Racism is huge topic and can manifest itself in a lot of different ways. One type of racism would be to be mean to an African-looking person, and ~~an African~~ a Nigerian could be confused with an African-American. But that’s not really the kind of racism that is relevant here.

Again, not sure what point you’re trying to make with this specific paragraph.

> As usual, there is a lot more diversity within the big racially defined groups than among them.

What people like you (or people who make the same points as you do) fail to realize is that disparity of outcomes among non-whites does not disprove racism, or prove that group X just need to study/work harder.

One could theorize that the descendants of chattel slavery will have (for example) less family wealth than whites who are descendants of property owners and indentured servants. For example. And that’s a result of racist policies like slavery and lack of equal legal rights (of course blacks have less wealth to this day since blacks gaining equal legal rights did not even the playing field with regards to wealth…).

Take your point about Nigerians for example. An African-American descendant of slaves and a Nigerian expat PhD-holder who works and lives in America will have about zero common background. Zero! The common experience they will have while living in America is to be treated like blacks. But their family background and upbringing will be as different as that of another Nigerian and a white American. So does that mean that racism isn’t really a thing? Not really. The African-American will still have been held back by racism.

I don't consider myself religious. Like many folks here (I assume) I've had a strong physicalist lean for much of my life. I've found great joy in the study of math, physics and of course computers.

The pull towards a more spiritual understanding of my condition has been heavily motivated by the mystery of my own consciousness. By consciousness I refer only to pure awareness. This moment in time with this collection of protons and electrons and complex field fluctuations is being experienced. And I find that so incredibly truly strange an inexplicable by any physical description. To carry out this dance of wave function evolution it does not seem that experience would be required at all. Yet it's there. Furthermore, when I'm quiet and my mind settles I can become acutely in touch with this pureness of experience and it appears to transcend mental processing, thoughts, memories and all of the things that are typically used to describe "I".

My story for what the universe is, is something along the lines of a Maxwell Tegmark level 4 multiverse populated with all possible mathematical structures and infused with a panpsychism quality of fundamental experience. Yes, I suspect that even electrons are experienced and I know that's weird lol. In the end though I know this description is just a story that my ego mind needs to make sense of all this stuff and I try not to place too much stock in it.

Practices that I find helpful and meaningful:

-Meditation (I usually aim for about 30 minutes a day)

-Listening to and reading Alan Watts

-Listening to and reading Ram Dass

-Semi-regular psychedelic experience (psilocybin primarily)

-Listening to East Forest's music

You might be interested in the LTSC versions of Windows 10. I know you said Windows 11, but IMO, Windows 11 currently is missing some usability that's still present in Windows 10 (like the taskbar). Of course you'll also be missing the scheduler updates, but I've witnessed some users disabling efficiency cores on Alder Lake anyway due to bugs or performance.

> LTSC, Long-Term Servicing Channel (which was until 2017 branded as LTSB, Long-Term Servicing Branch), is a unique version of Windows 10 Enterprise. Unlike all the other versions of Windows 10, LTSC has zero bloatware and the least amount of telemetry (data being sent back to Microsoft).

I wonder if maybe it was a good thing in the end. Lua51/LuaJIT are now dead languages - no new design changes are going to happen. It is now a stable development target for which libraries can only accumulate.
I'm agnostic, but I choose to believe that there's a chance the universe was created, either directly or as a side-effect of some act of will. Given what I know about how complicated projects generally get delivered, I assume that instead of some benevolent, perfect creator, the universe was created in a rush, by some stressed low-level figure. They are probably unhappy with how it turned out, and they had to implement a bunch of performance hacks (the speed of light and quantum mechanics among them) to get it working properly. They may not understand its internal state, or know we exist, but I hope they have at least some grudging affection for their creation, even if it's been superseded by other universes at this point. I call them Colin. I occasionally ask for Colin's help, and in return I try to keep my part of the universe interesting. You are free to join me in Colinism.
Is the game distributed and executing on the blockchain? If not, you're close to understanding how NFTs very expensively do not solve this problem: the blockchain state doesn't remove Ubisoft's control of their software and servers. What would help is a legal contract with user-friendly terms (which they could offer now if they wanted to, but they don't) or consumer protection regulation (which has no need for a blockchain).
I've been super happy with mine as well. It is a great balance of flexibility and usability. I had a MicroTik prior which worked well, but I was just tired of having to re-learn networking chops to make any changes. The Synology really has been a breath of fresh air, and have had no problems with it over the past year.
how might one fix all of the US workers “stuck” making $20k-$50k/yr? that’s the biggest form of “poverty” I have interaction with. they aren’t starving, but their quality of life stinks. especially mental health because you feel like a failure for not being able to figure out how to make “easy money” like tech, influencers, etc.

This isn't just skeuomorphism as found in e.g. a VST plugin with a sci-fi UI or a patching language with a UI resembling studio-like effect chains. This is a simulator of a real implementation of modular patching (Eurorack), for example signals mimic real Volt scaling and the dark mode is like actually dimming your room lights. So, questions of how to "develop" in this mindset can also be directed to users of the actual hardware, who do not go through a computer UI.

Similar experience.

I was raised Christian and very into it (mission trips, Bible study, accountability groups, etc) but abandoned it in my early twenties. I am much more content with life—no more sense of guilt constantly hanging over my head along with an increased sense of control and responsibility. My wife was raised Mormon and also abandoned her faith. Both of our immediate and extended families are still very religions.
I think it's more to avoid complaints and compliance issues than anything.

If they refactored everything in a single update, which I believe they are very capable of doing, I can't imagine how much shit they would get from users and businesses, look how much fuss was generated over the start menu.

By doing the snail pace transitions they can rebuff anything with a "you had years to get used to it / it's been there for ages and we didn't hear anything about this". I just don't have a clue of why they decided control panel needed to go, settings is absolutely subpar.
> The interview requirements & assessments are driven by the hiring companies and not the headhunters

And it's exactly what drives the bureaucracy, the transfer of responsibility. All you need to do is blindly follow the request in the most defensive possible way and no one will ever be able to accuse you of screwing it up. So you have headhunters who just follow the clients' briefs, client's HR follows their playbooks to cover their asses, and as long as they all get paid in the end of the month, who cares if you miss to hire some really talented people. It's developer's mistake, they should have prepared better for the test.

And I'm not trying to accuse anyone here of being guilty in particular, just to point that the whole process of hiring is deeply flowed by the very design. On the brighter note, it motivates a lot of really smart people to stay out of big corp world and go indie, which is actually great...

It’s great to see all these responses. I enjoyed looking through these.

My core view is some flavor of monism, and I see no (ultimate) contradictions among monotheistic, polytheistic, pantheistic, even atheistic or apatheistic views. I have had visionary experiences with and without psychedelics. There are some things I don’t need a belief for, having experienced enough.

I spend a lot of time doing healing work on myself, and that bleeds into work on people around me and people I encounter. In the past two years, this work has also bleed into the land as I study and put into practice permaculture design principles.

I used to do mindfulness practices and japa yoga regularly in the mornings. These days, I am practicing neigong with the aim of refining the vessel (the body) to materialize spirit. Or at least, as I can, with helping my wife with our one-year-old child.
That’s precisely what Zipline does, which is the only operational cargo electric plane company.
Electric flight today is always about short-haul flight, ranging from air-taxi eVTOLs like Joby to more normal planes like Eviation's Alice, but all less than 1000km in range.
I think the problem here is that your argument defines millions of people and then their loved ones as “a problem” that just… has no answer except that they’re too inconvenient to consider that maybe their concerns aren’t overblown?? I’m not advocating for broad sweeping stuff here (why are you ranting at me about this??) or literally any action except “hey maybe some people are advocating reasonably according to their circumstances here”. I think again you’re still imposing your view on others including myself. If you read what I’m literally saying, at no point did I advocate that society should drastically change to adjust for immunocompromised people. I am merely pointing out that assuming there are no reasonable advocates is very likely a sign of personal bias .
Lifelong Catholic here -- I've never felt that the guilt was pushed too strongly. What I do feel is that the Catholic Church is very willing to say that certain beliefs and practices are proscribed, that sin is real and should be avoided. What people are calling guilt is their own attachment to sin, and their reluctance to abandoning it.

(That being said, God's capacity for love is beyond human conception and no person can ever be beyond redemption.)
Incredible. I had a dream when I was a child of a house powered by small-scale hydroelectric, but learning the reality of water rights made me abandon it. It is truly inspiring to see someone live this dream.
It's certainly messy because it tries to mimic the hardware 1:1, but there are more ergonomic alternatives.

Noone will accept any new technology that is as dangerous as cars. (And I sincerely hope at some point we will agree that we won't accept an old technology that's as dangerous as cars...)
I was raised in the Catholic church, and I don't think your take on confession is quite right. The process of confession isn't "sit in this booth and walk out scot-free on all of your wrongdoings". It's meant to be an assisted meditation on what you can do better in your life, and how to do so. The act of confession doesn't help you if it's not done in good faith, and a penance for murder might be a confession to the community.

Think of it as a precursor to modern-day psychotherapy, if that helps. Admittedly, some modern day implementations of confession feel a bit like the spiritual equivalent of a drive through, nor are all priests equally capable of helping.

Be serious. HSR is capable of dumping half a million people per hour into stations that occupy less than 100 acres. In no way is eVTOL (which does not even exist!) a substitute good for HSR.
Not only that, but it could add additional actions when using an airtag.

I'm curious about the pros/cons of Rack vs Reaktor. A Reddit comparison says VCV is better for modular by a mile, but not exactly why. Is it that it has a better library of modules? Or is more focused on emulating hardware modules than Reaktor is?
They are:

The thing is - all carbon free options for aviation come with their downsides. Producing hydrogen creates a lot more conversion losses than using batteries, so when you can get along with a battery you will. Hydrogen will likely be used in the mid-range sector though.
That violates the principle of equality before the law. What if instead, the fine started at $100 but grew at 5% per day? Then even the biggest companies wouldn't be able to afford to just keep paying it.

It will lead to a whole mess of confusion when you start talking of cryptography (the original "crypto") with people who assume you mean cryptocurrencies.
