Imagine being a twitter user.

Uh…

That looks like a Stanzo. They’re nice.

I’ve seen a sudden upsurge of promoted videos in the last week or two championing trickle-down economics in my youtube suggested video feed. I thought it was odd. They don’t use the term trickle-down economics, but they promote the rich as job creators and use all the Reagan talking points. Based on the comments, lots of people are eating it up as amazing insight.

Some companies are doing it to create a hostile workplace to increase attrition. If an employee quits, they don’t have to pay unemployment or severance. Other companies have huge investments in corporate real estate. They have been sitting on short-term loans that are coming due. The property owners are keeping their real-estate values artificially high, but to one wants to rent/lease them, so they aren’t as valuable as in practice as they look on paper. Some companies get tax breaks from cities to put their offices there and will not continue to reap those rewards if their workers are not coming into the city. Don’t let them gaslight you about culture or face time because that has all been debunked. A lot of remote workers are coming in to the office and sitting on Zoom/Teams calls in their cubicles.

Not as simple as in Windows, for sure. You need to understand the audio subsystems. Pipewire is getting better and better, but it’s not quite there for pro audio, so you still need jack audio for sound recording DI instruments with low latency. You also need a realtime kernel and some tweaks to the kernel/os. The easy way is to use Ubuntu Studio and use the audio setting tool to switch to “Pro Audio”. Then install yabridge and Wine-Staging or use Lutris/Bottles to host Windows VST plugins. The latest kernels have built-in support for Focusrite hardware, which is nice. The only plugin I had that I haven’t been able to get working is Kontakt, but there is supposedly a workaround. The NI installer apparently tries to mount ISOs during the install and that hangs, so you have to copy them out of the temp installer folder and mount them manually, then run the individual installers. I haven’t done that because I never really used Kontakt. There are lots of native linux plugins in VST3, LV2, and CLAP format. U-he’s stuff is all Linux native, for instance. Most of my old Windows plugins I installed with Wine and they just work. I have heard Waves is not compatible because of their DRM, so pirated copies would probably work. :/

I’m so glad I finally got all of my Reaper plugins working in Linux. I was able to convert my last Windows box to Linux late last year. Switched everything over to Firefox at the same time. My gaming PC has been on Linux for a couple of years now. Feels good.

No it didn’t.

I tested kitty and alacrity when I first found out about advanced term emulators. I liked kitty more, but I don’t remember why. I use the kittens all the time. It’s super convenient to play a video or display an image in the terminal. Kitty works on most distros. I wish it worked on windows, too, so I could use it at work.

kitty. it’s the first thing I install on a new machine.

Have you looked at Textual? It probably has more functionality than blessed.

Is this a current picture or is it from the day you took the racoon?

That apostrophe, tho.

Consider Bruce Lee. Dedicated his time to mastering multiple martial arts. Died of edema at 32 years old. No opponents. It’s possible he drank too much water.
