  • As a strong black woman, I’m kind of pissed that we lost all those talented female lyricists and R&B singers who got Thanos snapped out of existence in the late 90s because they didn’t want to sell sex. It makes me want to slap a bitch for calling it “empowerment”…

    At least my inner black woman is angry af because of that.

    The music industry is garbage, pure garbage. Sony and Universal execs have a special place in hell.


  • I think the world has learned from this, since we’re abstracting and decoupling much more than before, as well as developing new and modernising old tooling all the time to lower that barrier to entry.

    Shout outs to the game Devs who had to deal with this shit for 3 years straight, as their keyboards were probably salty from all the crying, their rubber ducky all crumpled and deflated.

    haha this is a careful reminder that language experts have been combing over old orthodox greek texts, and reminded us that the stoics never made an exception for women and slaves. That shit was added by misogynyst and racist Europeans long after the fact.

    Also, additionally, the stoics would hate some of the self proclaimed stoics of today, because they don’t understand stoicism, let alone any other philosophy.

    In fact, if anyone calls them self a stoic, chances are they are repressive, delusional and living in their tiny, disinformed and narcecistic bubbles and listen to Andrew Tate as well as Joe Rogan podcasts, both which also would be hated by the stoics, because they are fake intellectuals.

    “But stoics don’t feel hate”

    You can’t possibly be this stupid. They had an absolute disdain for anti-intellectualism, or those who posed as intellectuals.

    The real crux of stoicism? When do you apply scepticism, when do you apply cynicism, what notions do you actually entertain in your brain hole? That’s it. It’s literally a priority system for your brain.

    Ipso facto: these fuckfaces with podcasts ain’t stoics. They’re just narcecists.

    Audacity is now basically part of the Muse family, which is a for profit venture, with it’s own - wait for it 🥁🥁🥁🥁 store front launcher

    Nothing makes me hate music software (or games) more than yee old SaaS/DRM pile-on, especially when you add another goddamn launcher. I’m trying to lay low latency buffers here, not facilitate another UI stack and background processes. I nuke the printer spool, and you think I want more? I will download the cracked version, even if I own the damned software, to get rid of all that.

    Jokes aside, considering the whole funding issue in the open source world, MuseHub (the “plugin boutique”) takes a fairly common route in the audio software world, since pretty much every single one of these DAW, plugin or sample pack outfits have a storefront - or use one, if not several.

    If say the Audacity we know is still free, but the add-ons cost money, that’s fine. It’s very “freemium”, but as long as they don’t remove VST3 or CLAP support, it’s fairly harmless.

    In regards to tracking, is it opt-out, opt-in, identifiable or anonymized telemetry? It’s contentious, to say the least, but if it’s a concern, you could always block domains - even though the average user would probably not concern themselves, and at that point I wonder if it’s better than other creepy freemium models that are even more predatory.

    Though it could be the type of telemetry used in most modern DRMs to confirm ownership by using plenty of CPU cycles and network communication to validate identity.

    Because DRMs is the worst technology segment invented in all of modern history, and it needs to die in a fire - I swear * TO GOD* you do not need to hit several friggin domain many times a day, once is enough - in fact, once is too much! You can take your iLok and shove it. I paid for this software, and if I put a Jolly Roger in it, it’s because your DRM drains my soul.

    your launcher is bad and you should feel bad

    I swear, this heckles my kekles sooo much.


  • This kind of pisses me off, because it proves lefties won’t really go hard regarding organisation or in regards the ballots, unless an existential threat pops it’s head out.

    Like we see nationalist populism on the rise in Europe, as as an alternative to the limp dick, mainstay, do nothing, “austerity measure solves everything” approach of those sycophantic, weasley bootlickers known as “the liberals” - i.e, the Tories, Renaissance (Macron), Tusk’s party, and come to think of it: every other liberal leading party in Europe, whose been controlling narrative and economy for over half a century.

    The EU has been saying that we can’t have a race to the bottom like we’ve been doing, but make no mistake: the liberals want that more than anything. It’s why these “free market” exploiters have been relying on wage slavery in China since the 50s, in effect propping up an authoritarian regime to save a buck - and now they’re complaining about it.

    Who exported all manufacturing to communist China? The liberals. Who propped up Putins nationalistic build-up to rebuild the Russian Empire? Fucking liberals. Who keeps blaming foreigners for their own incompetence and stupidity? Conservatives… also known as socially conservative liberals.

    Even the word “liberal” or “liberalism” is fake, because it’s not about people’s freedom or rights, but how to install a private aristocracy free from the reproach of the people.

    In essence, liberalism is a lie and liberals are delusional.
