    Do you have any recommendations for anyone looking to switch from windows DAW to a Linux DAW? Are there any tips regarding getting the plugins to play nicely?

    I would love to switch to Linux on my desktop, but the only thing holding me back is that I use FL Studio with the Arturia V collection and I feel as though it would be nightmarish to try to get such a thing working in Linux.

  • Are there specific words that trigger memories/pop culture references for you?
  • golden_zealot golden_zealot 2d ago 100%

    It depends. Some of it is more readily available in my mind than other stuff. For example, someone can bring up Christmas specials and I can think back and vaguely recall stuff like the Garfield Christmas special and other things I would watch seasonally as a child.

    Other stuff is a lot deeper, and usually it is a lot harder to access because there is no straightforward path to remembering it like a holiday, because it's the things I experienced in between things like holidays.

    An example I can think of of this is that I recently went through a listing of 90's television shows which were shown on the YTV network (In Canada), and I came across a couple names which vaguely rang bells; but the exciting thing was that I couldn't remember why they rang bells. One of the listings in this case it was for a show called "Stickn' Around".

    Went and searched for it, found this intro sequence and suddenly unlocked the memory that I watched this show almost every day for most of my childhood, but I had forgotten because there was no correlating event that let me remember this.

    (Forgive the youtube link, can't find it on invidious right now).

    Makes me wonder what other lost memories I have, and how the hell I could possibly go about accessing them, because this was just by chance.

    I highly recommend everyone go look up listings from the TV stations they watched in their childhood, you might just find something you forgot ever existed until now.

  • Your Most Frustrating Configuration Experience?
  • golden_zealot golden_zealot 2w ago 100%

    If you want to get into doing it, I found searching through a lot of note taking applications until I found something I really liked helped me remember to go do it regularly.

    For FOSS stuff a lot of people like Joplin, and I could certainly recommend it. Personally though, I really like Obsidian for its backlinking and graph view features, but it's not open source.

    Furthermore, just carrying around a notebook and a pen everywhere you go as a habit helps a lot. I got into the habit of doing this by maintaining a personal journal for some time. For writing effective notation on paper which can easily be digitized, I would recommend looking into "bullet journaling" methods, and again, finding a notebook and pen that you really quite like, helps a lot to make the experience enjoyable and develop it as a skill.

    I learned this lesson pretty quick when working in IT.

    It's not always feasible to document everything as it happens, but I definitely learned to do so if I had the time and means to while I was doing the thing.

    Just started at a new company with 0 documentation, they're super psyched that I've actually been writing down all their processes/procedures/configurations etc. as they explain them to me/as I work with them.

    Fascinating, didn't know moderators could investigate such things effectively (I was unaware of any mod tool that made that easy to do).

    Its early so I only had time to take a cursory glance and the vote counts were still looking the same to me - which one had the votes removed after your report?

    Good to hear nonetheless, definitely felt something was up, thanks!

    To make it clear what I am talking about - I would expect any voting distribution for 16 votes to be at least semi-random on a controversial comment, in example such as this:

    However, the distribution as it occurred looked like this on the first 16 votes:

    A controversial comment will have such a ratio, but any comment controversial or not will almost never have this kind of distribution unless there are multiple accounts waiting for vote up events to occur so that they can send a vote down.

    I can believe this happening 2, 3, even 4 times by chance, but not 8 times.

    I'm entirely aware, I'm specifically referencing my top level comment which at the time had no replies.

    Additionally, what you are describing does not explain both a vote up and vote down, occurring at the same time 8 times consecutively, so I'm not quite sure I understand what your point is as what actions occurred prior to hitting the button doesn't enter into what I'm describing as far as I can determine.

    Even if people read a thread before scrolling back up and hitting the up or down button, them hitting that button at the same time as someone else hitting the opposing button 8 times in a row within a few moments of each other is still a statistical anomaly.

    See my other comment in which I graphed what I am talking about in order to better explain myself.

    As I said, certainly possible, I was just surprised by the distribution over time, not the distribution of vote type.

    Yes, it's true that some good things have been added, I suppose my concern is just that I feel the negative things in the case of firefox hold greater weights when compared to the positive things they have done.

    As a euphemism; a cruise ship adding a bowling alley, better seating, and fine art to its interior is neat and might make it look better and more convenient but it doesn't mean much to me if they also added an engine which spews 50% more pollution into the atmosphere and poisons me.

    Certainly possible but I'm sure the odds are astronomically low. After I saw this happen 3 times I started refreshing every minute and each time there was a change, both counts had increased, and this happened 8 times in a row. I could see a distribution happening of something like a vote up at minute 2, vote down at minute 3 vote up at minute 12, vote down at minute 20, etc, but this was - vote up and vote down at minute 5, same thing at minute 11, same thing at minute 16, etc, 8 times concurrently (the minutes listed here are an example, I wasn't tracking exact time between events).

    All I intend to say is that if I left when Mozilla thought it was a good idea to have an advertising company become involved in the development of their products and started tracking users without their consent (even if less invasively than cookies) with PPA, then surely I am not the only one who left.

    This is a company that has previously sideloaded an extension into the browser without user permissions because of a marketing deal they made with a television show. As a result, I'm afraid im less concerned with the not-yet implemented features they may be working on or the features they have in place when there are a litany of other browsers available which don't fuck around with user permissions and privacy for advertising deals.

    If I wanted a browser for tab grouping and UI stuff, I'd move to vivaldi, but at the moment firefox just doesn't seem to have the best UI or the best security and both of those are directly related to Mozilla's choices.

    You are certainly entitled to your opinion and it is valid, but I think that my criticisms are also valid and are not baseless.

    Perhaps if they made decisions like this more often in recent times there would be more people there when they do good stuff.

    Edit: Cool to see someone botting this thread as well. I have now watched on three separate occasions someone vote up on mine and others comments only for a vote down to be applied within 10 seconds - 5 minutes in lockstep each time. This was in the first 15 minutes of the comment being posted.

    2nd Edit. I've watched it happen 8 times now actually. I wonder what the odds are that over the course of ~2 hours there is exactly 8 people who agree and exactly 8 who don't who keep showing up within moments of one another.

    That's nice but,

    1. Ubisoft games are ass
    2. Day 1 on Steam doesn't matter if I have to install a Ubisoft client and like 4 DRM software's to play the game anyway
    3. It would take a lot more for a long time for Ubisoft to repair the damage it's done to it's reputation over the last decade or more

    Hey fellas, discovered this community yesterday and thought I would drop in some maps I did for a homebrew 5E setting I made. Included 2 world maps (one labeled by land mass, the other denoting territories), a town map, and a couple battle maps. They were built using a combination of wonderdraft and affinity photo. Had to upload via imgur since I seem to be getting a json error when trying to upload to Lemmy directly. Let me know what you think. Thanks!

    Hello and welcome

    Hello! I noticed that there was a standard python community on lemmy, but no community geared toward learning the language specifically. Given the lower user count on lemmy, it will probably take some time for this community to grow, but I am hopeful it can become useful at some point. If you are coming from reddit, the rules are the same as the subreddit for the same topic. Thanks!
