Thank you! I know all these things. This still doesn't help when the DAW support and VST compatibility aren't there.

If you're intent on doing music production on Linux, at least do yourself a favor and get a Reaper license, there are few enough pro DAWs that are Linux native. But be aware that many of the big industry VSTs are still not going to work. If you're fine sticking to e.g. ZynAddSubFX or Pianoteq, though, knock yourself out.

But you can't reasonably expect musicians to jump those hoops and abandon their fav VSTs when their Windows tooling is there, and works.

JACK is very cool and if you're willing to tinker there's some really awesome stuff that can be done with LADISH session management and e.g. native Linux VSTs.

It's still a non-option for musicians who just want to do music, not tinkering.

Well! Thank you for being a good sport about it. :)

Arrival. Great flick.

Considering it's a reference to Monty Python's Life of Brian, I'm gonna go with yes.

Yeah, definitely the vibe has changed. It's kind of sad.

Normalisation absolutely helps, yes. All the monstrous GOP rhetoric hinges on othering trans folks. An emoji is a tiny step, but every little helps. Unironically thank you for asking, that was actually an excellent and important question.

Moovie night.

Could we, like, leave the clickbait headlines to reddit? Thanks. The queer.af admins just decided -- wisely -- not to renew the domain considering who the fee would go to.

Google has literally been reporting billions of net profit every quarter.

This is about appeasing shareholders. The capitalist class hates that tech employees have been able to command decent salaries and has been striving to push back for a while now.

I mean, you have people in your life who actually like you. I don't know if the same can be said of Trump.

How do you bake it? The crust looks incredible.
