This is a nice resource. Personally I use linux vst plugin on bespoke synth. But bitwig, renoise and reaper all support linux for those who want or need commercial audio applications on linux. With pipewire and new kernel changes everything

The lock in with Safari is horrifc though, the browser on a $20 prepaid android phone is better than the browser on your most expensive ios device. Apple says well you need to write a native app, stop using the web and PWA's. Allow Ap

Actually you can change the keys up so much you can do microtonal scales on it, but at the end of the day its a metallaphone so not likely to ever be the only piece of gear you'd want to use, you'd want to mix this with other gear

Even if it couldn't do win11 it would be amazing, but also transforming into a work pc setup is ingenious. Then there are the environmental benefits of reducing the footprint of eventual e-waste.

X used yew and rust to rebuild their client and had success in that they are dealing with lots of heavy lifting where these tools start to show their value for large scale products. For most products its immense overkill, for a lot of stuff

I have had things melt down before where Gemini got stuck and then would say it did something and didnt, etc... Howver asking the same question on a new fresh context fixed it, kind of context pollution can happen.

An even bigger problem is that Trump is developing a system of brutal punishment for the poor while AI is taking away a huge chunk of work out there while the rich people who own Ai pay no taxes, so if nothing changes we will see a total c

How smooth an experience you have with react really depends upon which framework you use, how old the code is. I have seen many react apps using outdated versions of react that break in interesting ways.

There's no point because there's few things as human as writing a novel. Also I think these models work great for technical generation of things like code, but it doesn't take imagination to do engineering work. Also look at

During the boomer's art hayday of the late 1970s, conceptual art became king. Look at Jeff Koonz who came up with art ideas and then had minimum wage workers build the actual pieces. We used to think of art as something made by human h

Those "other substances" are very powerful, illegal drugs, as well as powerful prescription drugs taken without a doctor's supervision. Blaming weed seems to be a way of once again trying to demonize a plant that should be tr

I've been using various forms of linux desktop since 1998, now I have settled on arch/manjaro/lxde, I can get away with a cheap machine with only 4 gigs of ram and still do everything I want to with it. I use it for pro audio
