Well shit, I didn’t think the Jurassic park books would ever end up on my reading list but here we are

Oh I’d somehow forgotten this era

That shit was in everything non solid for like 2 years

Oh so you’re telling me that my storage unit is actually incredibly well optimised for space efficiency?

Nice!

I assume this is coming at some point, tbh

I personally reckon they’re working on something YAbridge-esque to allow people to bring their VSTs to the push in standalone mode. If they can actually nail that, it’s an absolute no brainer to then release a full Linux version of the DAW and finally allow people like me to make the switch

Every time I’ve tried to run Ableton on Linux over the years (most recently about Christmas last year), it’s the VST support that lets me down. I’ve got hundreds of VSTs I’ve used in various projects over the past couple of decades and I can’t switch unless I know they all work properly—projects not loading or sounding different is unacceptable. I need to be able to open anything I’ve worked on over the years and be able to get right into the creativity without tinkering, as that is what I already have today.

Until that day, I’ve got to begrudgingly keep windows around.

You would not want to do this for latency reasons

Well this seems stupid, but I can’t seem to find out if they’ll delete a final remaining restore point or just older ones.

Seems ridiculous if they can potentially leave users without a recovery option if something breaks.

They semi-recently fucked me over on one of my machines by unceremoniously disabling the automated registry backup functionality that’s been there for decades. So, guess who’s HKLM registry hive got corrupted shortly after, preventing boot.

Anyone that still has to deal with windows for whatever reason, go and re-enable that for the sake of your future sanity (there’s a flag in the registry somewhere to do this, should be easy to find on a search engine)

Without majority adoption this is just going to worsen the problem it’s posing.

The modern condition

Good, for whatever reason there’s a load of people that cannot comprehend the notion of transport not involving a car

At least now they have a cheaper option to stop burning petrol

Impressive work doing the eyes

Hey, I wanted to make my stupid joke

Mid thirties—still want to go out sometimes, also enjoy the above other times.

The world service is one of the most important things the BBC does and is a big part of the reason the UK wields as much soft power as it does.

Frankly they should be ploughing more funding into it

They’re just doing it slowly
