Oh cool, I can’t think of any potential issues with oil companies prioritising AI over human customers

You’re also SOL if you have a couple of decades of music projects in various DAWs (though predominantly Ableton, plus a decent number of Maschine & Reason projects, for me) using all sorts of VSTs from over the years. I keep several versions of some VSTs installed so I can open older projects, and those older versions are never getting patched to fix broken Linux support by the developer, even if a more modern version does get fixed. It’s all got to come from wine devs, which frankly probably have more important issues to focus on.

I’ve tried a few times to get Ableton working with all my plugins and MIDI hardware and it’s always been an exercise in madness ultimately resulting in failure and usually a lost weekend. It particularly doesn’t like anything with my iLok key involved, last I tried a couple of years ago.

I happily run Linux elsewhere, but my main desktop is going to mainly run Windows for the foreseeable future unless something drastically changes. At least my projects aren’t all in Logic!

There’s also some software I use for my photography that didn’t properly work on Linux when I last tried (e.g. GPU features in PureRAW are the main thing I remember), but I think there’re some alternatives there I’d look at if I could get the audio production stuff working perfectly.

Santini’s output has been prolific, with comments in Vogue, Metro, Cosmopolitan, the i newspaper, the Express, Hello!, the Telegraph, the Daily Star, the Daily Mail and the Sun

Lol half that list is the daily mail group—who would have thought they don’t check the credentials of their sources.

Tbh excluding the fashion/gossip mags that I don’t have opinions about—every paper in that list is not somewhere I’d trust to get factual news from

I think you need to get your Haribo from somewhere else, they’re generally a pretty pleasant level of gummy. The only time I can remember them being hard is when they’re super old.

Well unless you’re getting whatever their version of sports mix or mini gems is called, which are supposed to be hard gummies.

I kinda treat HN a bit like YouTube now, it’s a source of content, I’m not at all there for discussion

I can’t remember the last time I clicked into an “Ask HN” thread and learned something of value

Oh wow the state of some of the comments in that HN thread

Silicon valley bros mad

You can’t guarantee you are able to delete anything you post publicly to the internet anyway.

Once it’s public, web crawlers can take a copy of it, entirely independent of any kind of federation.

There were several sites dedicated to letting people “undelete” Reddit comments, for example.

Right wingers believe everything should be up to the individual, you should get no help from anyone else. Typically with the ironic championing of corporations over people.

Left wingers believe we’re stronger if we work together in the public interest.

Healthcare is just one small slice of the political pie, which is such an obvious human right that only the fascist fuckos you have over there think it’s up for debate

I’d say most RTS games I can think of can be played with just a mouse

Older diablo-like ARPGs didn’t really rely on the keyboard too much IIRC, the modern ones do tend to rely on the keyboard a bit more

If you don’t mind older games, basically the whole genre of point and click adventures is this by definition

Yeah, you’re completely right, I was more going for not impossible, but it’s even more luck than I realised

Well, impossible to do with certainty.

But people are paid to try and do it at investment banks, and with enough outsider knowledge they can often get it right

Of course that’s practically just gambling at a much greater scale

Do Murdoch papers have a magic 8 ball of shit to complain about that they shake on a slow news day?

£1 says someone gets physX running on an AMD GPU before a 5xxx one

Just because things have a funny way of working out like that sometimes

Turkey is an amazing country with amazing people in it

The unfortunate part is their leader is the opposite and is currently holding their country and people hostage

Sounds like you’re after hackaday and similar specialist blogs

General tech sites will mostly cater to the tech the general public care about, enthusiasts don’t bring in the ad money comparatively

Although apparently Cocchi Americano is very close, and therefore a good choice versus the more common substitution of Lillet Blanc

I’ve yet to personally get my hands on a bottle though

Even a gin martini is a bit of a mid cocktail IMO

There are plenty of much more interesting spirit forward cocktails out there

support for playing select Android games on your car’s display

Errrrrrrm

You can’t wear one leg each from two different pairs of jeans and go about your daily business.

Well not with that attitude you can’t! I can think of several ways to accomplish this

Antidisestablishmentarianism

opposition to the disestablishment of the Church of England

Also bonus Welsh town name:

Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch

Literally translated, the long form of the name means: “[The] church of [St.] Mary (Llanfair) [of the] pool (pwll) of the white hazels (gwyn gyll) near to [lit. “over against”] (go ger) the fierce whirlpool (y chwyrn drobwll) [and] the church of [St.] Tysilio (Llantysilio) of the red cave (gogo[f] goch)”
