Could be something similar to the Flight 1907 incident where a private jet down a 737, simply because of how its wing clipped/cut through the 737’s as they flew past each other.

…and everyone was ignoring their radar and comms.

And being identified

Yeah, I do a lot of midi and mic stuff these days as it’s ended up being faster in production to play than to UI tweak. I’ve found Reaper’s “on the fly” for recording so much better (once learned and the brain clicks) and it’s phenomenal score mapping/creation out of the box 😙👌

Just little things like being able to build macros for single key presses with a wireless keyboard behind the e-drums orplugged up guitar, it’s so streamlined and fast.

But as far as effects go, if they’re not coming from my hardware, I can load in whatever plugins I need. I’ve heard some older systems can struggle with VSTs in Linux, but never had an issue. Plus it only takes a single line and a minute to load in a low latency kernal, specifically for real-time processing of live controllers. No more fucking around with ASIO4ALL setups lol

But, yes, Abelton out of the box, much like FL, comes with better native stuff. However, I rarely use native these days as some brilliant nerd or production company out there has made better stuff I can just load in. The emphasis on the W in DAW is very proniunced with Reaper.

Yeah. I remember as a teen, my father said I should look at learning Shockwave as a potential career pathway after school. It was taking the web by storm and many people were convinced that Macromedia’s visions was the future of the web.

I still kind of remember Macromedia Lingo. I had taught myself HTML—which was an extremely easy thing to learn for a child back in that day—and I started learning Director, JS, and Shockwave.

By the time I was older and out of school, Adobe had aquired Macromedia. But in a few short years during that time, websites had gone from basic HTML, images, frames, etc. to entirely animated opening scenes vectoring together beautifully over the top interfaces. UX was out the window because everyone’s brain was happy to explode at how cool an interface functioned…once it finally loaded lol. We used to visit websites to show friends how cool they were, still amazed at a cool “loading site” Shockwave animation, happily sitting there waiting, because we knew soon sprites would follow the cursor around lol

To be fair, Macromedia had peak Flash and Dreamweaver for “Website dreams can come true!” era. When Adobe acquired them, they started ruining it and leveraging legacy. Yes, the tech improved as would be expected over time, but the passion was gone. Adobe killed Flash but had already taken its soul years earlier.

People don’t realise many of their favourite Flash games were from 2005 or earlier—the larger parts of the golden era. They were Macromedia games then.

I didn’t want to go back to Windows so bad, I actually taught myself Reaper lol. It’s by far the best DAW I’ve used (former FL and Abelton user,).

Not gonna like, though, it was a pretty rough ride and steep initial learning curve like all creative programs be. I could like it to playing the guitar for ten years and suddenly you have to play left-handed. Like, you can so do it, but fuuuuuuuu

Or just select Windows when booting up. I do that simply for 365 when remote working. Clean Windows install on its own drive and somehow it still gives me grief 🤣

Today Outlook and Power BI didn’t open. Spent about twenty minutes updating, reinstalling, rebooting, and nothing. Had a meeting, reboot, all works again. Silly me never completed the random ritual in order.

Look, to be perfectly honest, I’ve had to do far less “computery” bullshit on Linux. After about six months of everything just working fast and flawless, I realised Windows is the OS that requires a pretty high level of computer literacy. Even installing Linux is a simple and quick breeze compared to Windows.

All it took was a final, “Oh, for fuck’s sake! That’s it! I’m fucking done!” moment. I just didn’t want to do it anymore. Never had one since. Using a computer is a nice thing again.

I 100% recommend Linux for grandparents!

Wow. Venuzuala needs to chill.

Iran has begun laying mines in the Strait of Hormuz, the world’s most important energy chokepoint that carries about one-fifth of all crude oil, according to two people familiar with US intelligence reporting on the issue.

There’s so much ‘nonsensical’ going on there.

The US military is very Trump-opposed. A lot of the "top brass"continue to resign as time goes on. Unfortunately, it is against their entire code to unalign to the Commander In Chief and I highly doubt a military coup would ever happen in the US, at least in these current situations.

The US saw one of the things they did followed the international standard and wouldn’t stand for it.

The last time I had a Seagate drive, it was 1.2GB

Well I heard herrings were involved.

Where there is oil, your country will always be involved. It’s the blood of America and there’s no indication of fixing that. This is one of the nation’s many likely options for downfall.

Yeah WH1000XMs are a very popular bang for buck wireless set. 5 is the latest.

That said, I have 2s that still go strong besides the battery. 4s going strong for a few years. Partner has had 5s for a while, no issues. All plastic hinges.

Not sure what OP is doing. Seems like a difficult part of the headset to break.

That’s similar to the one where the couple breaks up over a misunderstanding and all it takes is one of them explaining in like 10s. But instead someone storms off while the other pleas, and deep down you’re like, “That motherfucker so wanted it to end anyway.”

But then we deal with post-break up scenes and you realise they’re just idiots that still haven’t even thought to clear up the misunderstanding via a single text, call, or friend. It could all be resolved, laughed about, and fucking again like that afternoon.

Yes, it’s exactly that. It’s France showing the world that EU countries are just fine without the US, so no one—yku know who—should get any ideas.

I don’t think I could get off if my partner was wearing these hideous things.

Or anyone else in the room for that matter.
