  • For what it's worth, in 2022 I had Stage 3 thyroid cancer that had spread throughout my neck. Very treatable but still a mind fuck to hear the C word. The floor just falls right our from under you. I made it out ok and I am sure you will too.

    Best of luck to you. I hope you kick its ass promptly.

  • 83-year-old man convicted of killing Uber driver who he wrongly thought was scamming him

  • I spend time in central Florida every year (Orlando/Kissimmee). Many of the ride share drivers I come across are retiree, often also immigrants, looking to socialize. Last guy I rode with was originally from Nicaragua, in his seventies, got his citizenship in the 1980's, and just does ride share for two hours three times per week, simply to chat with the passengers. Slowest ride from the airport ever given that he never went past 45mph, but the chat was pleasant.

  • I get your point but the truth is that Apple's M processors do a far better job than Intel and AMD processors do when it comes to this type of work. I started on Linux with Reaper and BitWig but the Macs performance was significantly better. Also, software and hardware support is key. All music gear manufacturers and software vendors support apple, including Apple silicone. You can run many VSTs through comparability layers but the latency is a huge problem and the alteady high CPU demands get exacerbated.

    I have been on Linux since very early days and have always been a proponent of it. Music production is just not an niche that is currently as well covered by Linux as it is by Mac. We need a Linux push in music like the one Valve did in gaming. If Abelton and Native Instruments went all in on Linux, I think much of the industry would follow.

  • Fuming Bondi Loses It at Prosecutors Quitting Over ICE Killing Probe

    Jump

  • The point @someguy3@lemmy.world was making is that the federal government can pull any state charges to a federal agent into federal court. If the federal judge finds that the federal agent was not acting in their capacity as a federal agent when the crime was committed, then the state prosecution can continue. That's a tough obstacle to overcome under the current administration.

    My point is that murder has no statute of limitations and Minnesota can wait to file charges until a non-fascist administration is in power. That could be in four years or in twenty. Again, no statute of limitations.

  • Fuming Bondi Loses It at Prosecutors Quitting Over ICE Killing Probe

    Jump

  • The state of Minnesota can wait until there is a more friendly administration before bringing charges, since there is not statute of limitations on murder. Also, the supremacy clause does not protect murderer Johnathan Ross from civil litigation.

    You attached that TikTok-like video without properly reading the comment you were responding to.

    EDIT:

    Let's address @someguy3@lemmy.world 's edit below. He is not wrong, but he is being overly defeatist and thus ignoring several key points.

    • Administrations do matter. As we have seen with Trump and his failed prosecution, administrations get to install federal judges and it is up to the federal judge whether or not this becomes a federal case.
    • A presidential pardon carries an admission of guilt, which is part of your permanent criminal record, which definitely affects your ability to find employment, travel, etc.
    • Civil suits can be a terrible fate and should not be dismissed as Someguy3 is doing. A severe judgment against you can be an insurmountable and lifelong financial burdern. Even if as a convicted, yet pardoned murderer you happen to find a job, the civil suit will garner your wages. Own a house? Not anymore. People like OJ and Alex Jones have/had the means to avoid a lot of this, but murderer Johnathan Ross? Not likely without a very rich benefactor, in which case Mrs Good's widow and children would be set for life while murderer Ross would still carry that albatross around his neck for life. Ideal? No, but things rarely are.

  • The right tool for the job is what I always say. Macs, especially on Apple Silicone, are next to impossible to beat for music production. The performance of those chips and the universal support from hardware and software manufacturers make it the best tool. What I find is that the number of scenarios in which Windows is the best tool is rapidly approaching zero.

  • For sure. I actually detailed our VDI setup in another thread. We use linux minipcs running VMWare and Win10 IOT LTSC VMs to connect to clients that require Windows or "secured Windows" where they install all sorts of bloatware.

    EDIT: I should note that the vast majority of our clients have since moved to VDIs, which can be accessed from Macs. Unfortunately, they mostly use Citrix and I have not found a way to get that citrix client to work well on Linux.
