Cool tidbit:

They’re part excerpts from poems and novels, part made-to-order by students, one novella and two haikus. Full list of the artists here:

Only in Finnish, sorry. English version of the site does not have the arts section :/

Instant flashback to Repo! The Genetic Opera. The future where “Upgrading” organs has become a fashion statement, and financing organs the norm. If you can’t pay your debt, expect the Repo Man, The Night Surgeon!

Oh that’s interesting, I’ll look into it. Cheers!

I’ve been floating the idea of running Matrix on my NAS anyway, so thanks to Discord for finally pissing me off enough to prioritise getting off of the shitty platform.

Happy to help!

Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous takes hundreds, for some thousands of hours to complete due to the complexity and sheer scope of it.

Thank you, much appreciated!

Could someone post the transcript here? I refuse to adhere to “accept cookies or subscribe” model. Much appreciated.

Oh that’s Espoo near Sello? I go there often and have noticed the same thing. Tampere also has started projecting red lights as a line on the ground on the crosswalks near tram stops. I think one reason is the snow covering painted signs on the ground as well; the struggle every winter to figure out where there bike lanes are is real :/

Sales, finance, middle management and one “prompt engineer”.

You have a way with words, this was a beautiful way of putting my feelings into words. I will use this rhetoric going forward in your honor. Thank you.

I mean, 19 years as an active member of EFF, but sure. You do you.

I hope you take this in the spirit in which it was meant: fuck you and your defeatist edgy apathy. Refuse and resist until the bitter end.

Seems nice so far. Wayland works better than in 12, but still has issues with nvidia drivers + KDE Plasma combo. Some software (Signal desktop, discord at least) have a really annoying flickering going on, and toggling Vsync on/off crashes any software that tries it. Swapped to X11 instead, and it works like a charm.

Thanks for the suggestion, bookmarked, will have a gander if I get stuck!

Oh yeah, I was thinking about that today, too; get a “for most stuff” distro as the baremetal, and VM specialist distros (like Kali or something) on top of it when needed.

I will definitely check out KVM at some point! I was just gonna chuck VBox at it, but your salespitch convinced me to try at it. Been mostly working with Azure and ESXi for the past 10 years, had no idea KVM was so advanced now, I saw something about it back in the day, but it was a tech demo -level back then.

Thank you kindly for the insight!

Aye, audio latency was a big question I didn’t find a good answer for during my research period. It is a headache on Windows as well.

You do make a really good point I didn’t think about the immutables for music stuff. Cheers for that.

Does the dickish attitude come with the package or is it extra? So sorry for asking questions after being out the scene for a bit, glad to see nothing’s changed in the past 20 years.

Thanks for the alternative take. Good to know that Fedora supports Flatpak that easily.

Blender has a video editor?! Geez, used it back in the day for 3D rendering, but didn’t even cross my mind for videos. Inkscape is a great idea!

Had a couple of recommendations for Ardour from other folks as well, will have to give it a go. Free is free after all.

Games fortunately I have the most experience with lately, was in another country with my ancient T530, and was bored, so did some gaming on Ubuntu, got mostly everything working pretty quickly.

Cheers for the music points. I got some pointers, that Nobara is great for music stuff, and Bazzite can be optimized for it, but takes some effort and fiddling. I gotta take a look at Ardour and Bitwig, see if I vibe with them. How are they with older (my keyboard is around 2010 I believe) MIDI devices, do you happen to have experience?
