Good point!

Fuck ICE

The secure scuttlebutt protocol is definitely real.

This might be the origin of a good chunk of the actually good information on the internet.

Code can absolutely be intimidating and a creative block but on the otherhand a 440hz oscillator in Supercollider can be triggered with

SinOsc.ar(440, 0.6);

I think some kind of “pod” system would be nice where similar posts/crossposts could be visually grouped together like a “pod” of dolphins all surfacing on your feed together in a natural flowing way (randomly assigned color coding maybe?). Seeing one dolphin surface after another should feel like cohesive movement of a pod and any one post should link towards other dolphins in the pod not currently visible too.

You could then as a user “pod” a post by linking it with another post and the resulting feed of newly “podded” posts could itself be a browsable “pod feed”.

Obviously a different word than pod may be better, but I like the whale pod metaphor.

Honestly keep using Reaper at least occasionally, it is the most no-nonsense professional software I have ever used and it works great on Linux. Cockos deserves your money and it is an industry leading tool!

Otherwise I would recommend LLMS.

For a leftfield option check out Supercollider!

Supercollider is an elegant extremely mature open source audio programming language, it is a programming language true but it comes with a nice IDE and there are MANY plugins with GUIs that you can download and try, the point isn’t really to code so much as put all the tools of a DAW straight into your hands.

Great article! Honestly I believe one of the aspects of the collapse we are undergoing is an attempted reduction of neurodivergence in humanity. The same process that is causing a loss of biodiversity and the loss of diversity in human languages in general I think is also violently selecting against neurodiversity in humans.

Of course you can’t quite stop all the neurodiverse kids being born yet (genetics is trying to get us there as fast as possible though!), but you can make their life living hell and force them to mask so much they become lost in layers of masking and trauma.

The thing is, ADHD is unintentionally one of the most political disabilities as it smashes the cornerstone of expressed willpower being the basis for judgement in most societies and leaves systems of selection rudderless without the sharp distinctions expressed willpower falsely hallucinates and accentuates. Further one of the major way social safety nets and the shared collective wealth of societies have been hollowed out is by offloading immense amounts of Executive Function requirements to people navigating systems and then aggressively pretending Executive Function isn’t a limited, exhaustible capacity.

People have had their basic understanding of focus lobotomized by tech narratives (the concept of “attention span” abstracted from context is meaningless for one) and we now collectively pretend it isn’t an act of labor to focus and use Executive Function. This forces ADHD squarely into a broader discussion of collapse and enshittification.

You willing to bet a city on that?

Sure, but what if you guranteed your customers through loosely organized collusion and endless consolidation/buyouts that there is no other practical place to buy ram?

Why would companies lower their prices after consumers have been forced to get used to them?

Meanwhile the planet is dying from all the increased emissions from data center usage.

Well know that you have outed yourself as a cool indie dev you must eventually post some sneak previews of your game to a gaming/game development community on lemmy/the fediverse!

I am not here on lemmy/the fediverse just because it is an alternative to reddit, I am here because I intend to contribute as much as possible to destroying reddit by being here and contributing.

It makes me sad seeing the blanket cynicism people have towards the potential of social media as if we tried everything and social media is just inherently toxic when all we have tried is for-profit social media run by massive corporations full of sociopathic ultra rightwing upper management that demand endless growth.

Reddit has to go, it is far too centralized a replacement for forum/message boards, but the good news is every meaningful contribution we make here on Lemmy/the fediverse pushes the knife deeper into reddit’s chest :)

Reddit can only win at forming an unavoidable corporate silo we are compelled to endure if it projects an inevitability to it, we are here to destroy that inevitability.
