Step 1: Marble

Step 2: Gilded shit

Step 3: Whatever, done.

The genius of Trump’s classy design taste.

Maybe if someone lets Miss Universe know she can send the message on.

Is there some beautiful autistic mind keeping infographical track of this stuff? My mere lesser brain only just entertained the idea of how interesting that’d be ro see.

It’s really easy and quick to install a distro so you can just test them out. Get three you think you’d like, try em out, you’ll probably like all of them, but you get to pick your fav.

There is no “best”, just “best for you”.

If gaming is your focus and you just want to go into Linux without research, I’d start with Ubuntu or Mint for a couple weeks. If you’re liking it, check out some others, but don’t be surprised if you go back to Ubuntu or Mint simply because you found them easy and working just fine. There’s no wrong choice, just lots of good ones. It is all up to how you like it with no anxiety of making a bad choice 😁

Yeah, that’s so much effort, I’d want to be paid extra for it.

Don’t do drugs, kids.

Well, not this many.

One of the reasons I switched was just being sick of dealing with Windows issues, the time spent troubleshooting, having to constantly tinker. And despite all the users out there, the frequency of hitting a dead end and just having to deal with it was common enough.

So after yet another Windows-fuelled rage and four glasses of wine, “Fuck it! I’ll see what everyone’s raving about…”

An hour later…

For now

A colleague kept saying “Love that for you” unironically and genuinely. It lasted a day before someone spoke up about her new thing not working.

Huh, weird.

Okay, I’m definitely trying again.

Some of my older gear is fine, but an example of something that wasn’t working was my TD-27 V2 on a kit. What module is on yours?

Yeah I have tried it, but didn’t have luck unless I was driverless and that meant losing velocity. Maybe I configured wrong, it was kind of confusing but the internet said it was facing the same issues as me. Mainly this was for Roland stuff.

I was going to just get a laptop for Windows to record onto next to instruments and then transfer, but I’d rather just be able to plug into the DAW.

Getting news off Lemmy is a shit-for-brains idea. It’s 70% bias saturated US politics links. I have no.idea how people keep lapping it up, but I hear that’s the culture of Americans being told what to believe and do based on their feeds.

You can block keywords, though, so if anyone posts any interesting news, you may even get to see it.

Yeah, peripherals lol. All my sim stuff is working brilliantly in Linux, however I still have some audio production stuff I need Windows for. Unfortunately, due to the need for minimal hardware latency and all that, Wine and VMs aren’t an option. Also a lack of drivers for some midi devices sucks.

No, but I do have to ask a random ITC group for access to direct query the data, even though I’m the one responsible for the DBs, put the data in there, and they have nfi idea what any of it is.

Spoiler alert, I was denied, but am still allowed to query the data off into CSV to store locally or onto SP so it can then be PowerQueried into Excel or BI…because to them, this is more secure than the Oracle add-on for MS…

Also they’re running the SDK off like Java 5 or something. A third-party version of it…

I wake up to a bleeding nose every workday.

Speak for yourself, my work still operates off local SQL databases set up 22 years ago. On this day it is I who gets to laugh.

As for what would be at the top of the arch, Trump said it would be a gilded “Lady Liberty.”

“That’s Lady Liberty. Did you ever hear of Lady Liberty?” Trump said.

🤦

I like my PC being my PC. The more it does things I don’t ask of it or tell it to do, the more I will seek alternatives.

One of the most frustrating parts of MS products these days is that you’re just along for the ride. And unlike Apple which is just the same, MS has far less intuitive behaviour or method. I would say their products are for beginners or those not tech literate, but the failure rate and amount of complex troubleshooting required for MS products and environments are easily the most challenging and frequent. It does not help that Windows Update constantly introduces new issues to the OS and other software while undoing any previous workarounds.

That company doesn’t get to touch my stuff anymore. It’s like trusting your car to a four year old.

I’ve never bothered because less than 1% of my time I’m looking at the sys UI, let alone the desktop.

Okay, this isn’t nottheonion

They just have parental issues. It’s why they’re all about having an authoritarian dictator and a powerful state. The miss having a mother do everything for them, or they have a deep yearn for the father they never had.

Then a strong figure like Benito stands up and say, “Don’t worry! I am here and I will take care of everything for you. All I need is your unconditional love and you will get mine in return.”

“…Pa…Papa? 🥹”
