US to Send Up to 5,000 Marines to Iran

It's true. USA hasn't won its own war since their Civil one, if that counts. They've been on the side of victors in other people's wars, but not for any skill other than being able to build shit and ship it over quick.

This is the standard play. Big show of bravado at the start, realise it'll take more, troops go in, yada yada yada, USA loss.

Anti-ICE Protesters Convicted on Terrorism Charges for Wearing All Black

Jump

saltesc @lemmy.world 3h ago

A police officer responding to the scene was shot in the neck by one of the protesters, Benjamin Song, who had brought an AR-15 with a trigger modified for a higher rate of fire.
The defendants said the protest was a peaceful demonstration meant to show solidarity, pointing to the megaphone that one member of the group brought to shout slogans to detainees. Prosecutors pointed to the guns, ballistic vests, and trauma first-aid kits they brought as evidence of malicious intent.

It had little to do with the colour of their clothes and I highly doubt that was something the jury took into deliberation.

Hell, yeah. A linguist enters the chat.

So from Semitic languages, to Latin—which also can translate feminine, masculine, and anything between as three states jusr fine—to period-subjected variations of English, up to the modern day take, it should've been kept quite clear. But sometimes over a few thousand years it may have been skewed. At least enough to open up interpretation in a way that interpretation aligns with one's beliefs or desires.

Well, I am shocked that this could happen to an Abrahamic religion /s

Israeli tech CEO calls to 'limit the First Amendment' to prevent spread of 'lies' on social media

Jump

saltesc @lemmy.world 18h ago

It's not. Free speech is to prevent a state encroaching on or involving themselves in the censorship of citizens.

Social media operators can do what they want in terms of censorship. It's their's to censor and if someone doesn't like it they may simply choose not to use it. It does not impact their wellbeing or freedoms within the state and is not a social service.

Edit: So quite ironically, suggesting limitations on 1A is against the 1A. It is there to prevent limitations of freedoms by things the state may try to impose, should a state ever become corrupted.

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.

I have my own little conspiracy theory that Trump's lead up obsession with the black gold being more domestically drilled and churned had to do with disrupting the Middle East's supply to Europe on the back of Russia being sanctioned.

Other places in the world will be impacted, but not as much as Europe. He has also been pushing this whole narrative of "We don't need the EU. The EU needs us!" and what better way to initiate all that build up by throwing a match onto the Middle East, for reasons yet to be explained.

If I'm right, it's very important that the Middle East doesn't get baited into regional conflict. If that happens, the guy that started it will walk away, "We want to keep America safe. In the meantime, we're happy to sell our oil to Europe...for a price... Even though we got South America reserves now too..."

I think the failed leasing of reserves off Alaska is intentional too. It's letting the industry know it's there, despite expect ing no buyer for now.

Europe should've started dependency years earlier, but hindsight. No one would ever know this would happen just a few years ago.

Hopefull I'm wrong lol. Most conspiracy theories always are, by a lot.

What would it take for you to switch to Linux?

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.

Americans pay for everything these days.

It's like, you go to work, then just donate your pay to someone else. So you're working for someone for someone else.

Literally the same workforce concept as how labour camps or prison work is operated. However, they don't pitch freedom in anyway so people tend to realise it's not cool.

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.
