1/ Yesterday I tried @zrythm for the first time. It looks promising, almost no learning curve for me with a background of other DAWs. Everything was at its place. Editing midi and recording was great, So the basics worked as expected. Now I want to point to some bad things: I prefer to have a hand tool for navigation or at least a way to zoom using the timeline indicator, But it was missing.

I hear new people noting how chill, tolerant, and pleasant Mastodon is.

Mastodon isn’t chill or tolerant or pleasant. It’s a tool… a foundation on which to create and maintain a culture.

It’s those who’ve been on Mastodon, run servers, and served as admins who did the hard work and created the culture you now enjoy.

Now, it’s your turn. The only way it stays tolerant and chill is by us doing the work to keep it that way.

A good example of, “Be the change you wish to see in the world.”

@mhd

I think the main problem lies in the way the parsers/compilers work. They tokenize before they have any clue about syntax, declarations and so on.

Way back in time, compilers weren't cold, off-the-shelf and academic, but handcrafted art pieces.

@dusnm

I don't care if someone find someone else's speech so called "hateful". If you yell "Puppies are cute", there are people who will find that "hateful". If you promote "democracy" there are countries where that is against the law.

End of the day, there is no "line"as the line is a subjective construct and irrelevant to "Free Speech" (if that is what one upholds as a guiding star).

I don't think the line is that difficult. I moderate, and the standard reply is very simple; "If you think the user has broken any laws, please contact the police in Germany (my instance's home), or the country where the user lives."

And if I get court order to take down a user's post, I will do that.

Created a quick board with 8 buttons and 8 LEDs to monitor and manipulate I/O ports on a #FPGA.

And 200 million dead under socialist rule is not "blood on your hands", just because "not done right, next time..." argument?

@lupyuen
1. Not secure.
2. Even less secure.

Should cover most programs.

@CobaltVelvet

Nice attitude there. Is rudeness common and popular in your circles? Together with echo chambers and not allowing oneself to listen and understanding alternative viewpoints?

Just curious.

@Hesperion

Thanks... Interesting read, but I interpret the WIkipedia article that he was trying to satisfy the "Authoritarian Socialists" (IMHO, that's the only type in practice) that "authority" isn't really necessary, albeit flip-flopping on his on view about that.

My gift back;

Looks like the Wasabi flavored variant, but could be the Green Tea one.

@Hesperion

Nice of you to post your diary here. I hope you had a safe landing at the end.

@sophia_sardegna @iron_bug

@sophia_sardegna @niclas @iron_bug @elonmusk@mastodon.cfIt seems you are a nationaliste right ? Yeah, hate has no place in our wounderfull peacefull open minded and made of clever people sharing on mastodon. Return to your hate cave with no light twitter and never come back. They will feed you with fake news and you will ask more because it will give no end to your neverending appetit for hate on something. I will probably meet you under a bridge : youtube.com/watch?v=FMEe7JqBgv Ugly thing you are.

@Bunnyslope
You meant "no barriers to entry", I hope.

It is indisputable that the more barriers you put on a market, the fewer the number of competitors.

The evidence for "more competitors" lead to "lower prices" are also overwhelming. Semiconductor market has been a good example, even though patents and IP right are barriers.

HOWEVER, there are exceptions to that. Fashion and Luxury goods are classical examples, as people buy the brand, not the utility.

@freepatriot @amerika

I have requested two new CVE IDs for flaws to be revealed in sync with our pending next curl release.

A battery filled with algae is somehow managing to power this computer for months: newscientist.com/article/23195

No-one's quite sure what's going on. Possibly the algae is serving as the medium catalyzing the interaction between the anode and cathode in the battery.

Except research shows the anode isn't degrading, which suggests ...

... the *algae* is producing the electrons.

Some thoughts on this in my blog post here, item 6: clivethompson.medium.com/lavaf
