  • Of course not, but neither is misrepresenting opinions as news as op did. The fact that news outlets publish opinion pieces is not new or even newly offensive, and the fact that it's clearly labeled as such right at the top of the image and op didn't notice or care means op is just fanning the flames of outrage bait.

  • Country Death Song by the Violent Femmes. It's banjos and a proper upbeat hoe-down vibe alongside lyrics talking about crushing poverty and killing one of your children so you can afford to feed the others and ends with the narrator hanging themselves. It's bleak as fuck and very not my normal jam, but somehow it grew on me and I love it.

    Bonus: Godzilla by Blue Oyster Cult. Just a song about Godzilla smashing up Tokyo set to some pretty fun music.

  • I get you, but this article says 'opinion' right at the top, which means it's not news.

  • What old technology are you surprised is still in use today?

    Jump

  • Sure. But as someone who used to work IT with a focus on cybersecurity, physical access to anything trumps everything else, and people who put fax machines in insecure locations will also put email servers or whatever in them. Also throwing data at misdialed numbers is a tiny threat because the odds of transposing a number or whatever and also getting a fax machine are pretty tiny.

    Although the guy above you was just talking about how he works in the industry and they mostly do efax now, which.. Iono how that's supposed to be more secure than just email or whatever. I guess if you're sending to physical machines it's more secure on that end, but if the senders are using efax some of the receivers prolly are too, at which point we've lost the whole point of using fax machines.

  • Interesting, how is eFax any more secure than email? The advantage of fax is it's one machine to one machine, no possibility of interception without physically tapping the POTS line.

    Do you have a "movie night"?

    Jump

  • I have two, one is a bi- monthly movie club with friends where we focus on movies that have a lot to talk about (so generally artsy movies), and another monthly kung-fu movie night where we just hang out and watch people beat each other up for fun.

  • What are interesting and entertaining podcasts to listen to? [English, French, Italian]

    Jump

  • Ty and That Guy. They mostly talk about movies, especially 80s and 90s movies, and that's my jam.

  • [SOLVED] What are the differences between 1) probabillities, 2) possibillities, and 3) plausabillities?

    Jump
    1. Decent chance of happening.
    2. Is theoretically possible but unlikely.
    3. Could happen, but there's no data on how likely it is.

  • Researching making the switch from Windows on my main PC and I have questions.

    1. Definitely dual boot, especially if you're new to linux, and double-especially if this is what you use for work. You are likely to run into situations where shit just doesn't work and you need a fallback environment to operate in while you figure out what that's about and how to fix it. Likewise, you will run into software that runs badly on linux or just doesn't run at all even under wine/VM, and it will be nice to have that fallback for when you don't have time to fuck around and figure out what the problem is and need to just get shit done. If things go well you will find very quickly that you don't need it and can probably go ahead and delete it after a little bit, but at first you want that lifeboat. Mine stuck around for 2 weeks, but I only even used it the first couple days and the rest was 'maybe I'll run into some weird situation...' and just not needing it. As for merging the partitions and such, I believe that's possible, but you definitely want to make sure you have backups before you try it just in case. There are many good cloud backup services that have linux native clients (I use filen.io myself.)
    2. I've never even touched music software so I have no idea what's out there. I do however know about a great website called alternativeto.net that lets you find alternatives to existing software, and you can select your platform to limit it only to linux software. For example, here's the entry for linux-native replacements for Cubase (it was the obscure one from my perspective, wanted to see if they actually had anything, turns out they do.)
    3. Yes, NTFS generally works mostly fine on linux, though there are a couple of weird cases where it causes problems (one I ran into was adding games I had installed on an NTFS drive for windows to Steam on linux, it was very wonky.) After nuking my windows boot drive I went through and copied all the stuff off my NTFS drives and reformatted them to btrfs before putting the data back on them to ensure that everything would work smoothly, but if you're just using it for regular file access you should be fine. The one caveat I would add is I would probably not recommend editing large projects in files on NTFS drives in linux if you can avoid it, but poke around google and see if you can find people reporting issues with your specific software/use-case to see if there are any problems with it.
    4. Drivers for weird hardware are potentially an issue. Looks like there is a FOSS driver for the Scarlett, didn't see anything at first glance for the Behringer, but also again I have no idea what I'm looking at here so this is something you're going to have to do some research on. I have had some weirdness with audio in general on linux, things cutting out unexpectedly, stuff like that, but that's strictly games/discord/that sort of thing, so it might be worth looking for stuff other people have posted about doing heavy audio work on linux to get an idea for what to expect. I'm sure it can be made to work, but it might require more fiddling than you expect.

    Either way, welcome to the party. :)

  • Yeah, Microsoft came to bargain, but I came to flip 'em the bird cause I already switched to linux.

  • What architectural style would you like to see come back?

  • That's fair, taste is subjective and formed for lots of reasons, I'm not telling you you're wrong or anything.

  • Fair enough. I also love it for office buildings and such, like in this example from The Oldest House in Control, or Luthen's shop or Coruscant in Andor.
