Can I get this with a few more pixels?

Not the exact answer you’re looking for, but a $500 Mac mini would be a fantastic solution. That or an entry level MacBook Air.

I run Linux on my desktop for most things but all my music production is done on MacBooks. If you want a turn key solution, this is the way.

Every vst, midi device and mixing console I have just works. Well worth the sub $1000 investment.

Hell, my touring setup runs off a 8 year old MacBook Pro you could likely pick up for under $400.

Additionally, you can purchase “parts” bags/kits which are marketed as “repair accessories” for 11+ rd magazines(usually 30 rds for 5.56 and 7.62). These somehow skirt around the law from my understanding. You’re buying the complete mag, but assemble it yourself.

I think we’ve been pressure cooked as a country (speaking as an American as that’s my only real, long term reference) and maybe a society thanks to social media to amplify that hate and outrage.

If its any small consolation, I think the communities around here are hurt and frustrated and learning how to express that and navigate it in a space where immediate censorship isn’t as likely too occur.

Its a lot like the way we used to stretch our legs and push boundaries in the early Internet days. It wasn’t easy to get mod banned on most irc servers, but it did happen. In between those moments though, you could get away with saying some vile stuff.

Don’t take it to heart, take it as a vent in a place where we are somewhat protected from the hate speech the other side slings.

In my real life I’m much more sympathetic. Even to the point of empathy exhaustion. But when it’s strangers online exponentially far away from me on the Dunbar scale, I laugh, ridicule and taunt.

This is my relief. Same way I’ll text a buddy and shit on him when his team is getting crushed in a game.

Empathy and class warfare are locked in a timeless battle anymore, but I think there’s still room to point at fucking idiots and enjoy their suffering. After all, they’d do the same for us.

Heck yeah. Thanks friend!

Consider me subscribed in advance.

I feel like we need a c/letsnotmakethispolitical to track these

Julie Christmas is a personal favorite.

The Battle of Mice records are harrowing (content warning for DV). Made Out of Babies was incredible as well. Same for her work with Cult of Luna. Some really, really unique vocals there.

My personal favorite is the Spylacopa Self Titled record. That album was a great blending of styles and guest artists, but Julie’s work stands out.

Yes. There’s a toggle in about: config (fxaccount sync or something similar) that allows FF account sync. Will do everything from extensions, to bookmarks to history if you’re keeping that.

Posted above, I’ll drop it here as well, requestarr performs the same service but via discord.

Layering on top of that (I’m sorry to recommend a discord app) but, Requestarr is awesome as well. It allows you to attach a bot to a channel and request up through Overseer, Sonarr or Radarr. Works for local and remote users.

Live service means there are constant “content” updates being released by the developer/publisher.

This can be character skins, weapon skins or other cosmetics, new maps or modes, new classes, skills or really anything. A lot of times these are wrapped up in to “battle passes” time limited, purchaseable collections of stuff designed to keep players engaging with the game daily for carrots being dangled in front of them. Most of these are also time limited so if you don’t jump through all of the Hoops before the timer expires you no longer have access to the content that you were playing for and paying for.

To relate to old school gaming think of them like mini-expansion packs. The part that most people take issue with is the strategy behind the majority of them.

Almost all live service games are designed to keep players running on the hedonistic treadmill looking for the dopamine hit of that next unlock. In the more egregious free-to-play games you see that crafted through dark patterns in a way that incentivizes users to buy shortcut items through the marketplace to either automatically collect the ranks needed for the unlock or provide double accrual rate for whatever the experience marker is.

The reason they are coined lives service is due the nature of them receiving this constant update drip in a manner that would be live as opposed to static in traditional, Old School multiplayer games where you may see a large expansion every once in awhile but certainly not a weekly or monthly drip feed of new shit for the players to grind away at trying to unlock.

Aye, that was my suspicion. Really awesome to be stripped of options for privacy so they can suck down that data.

Yt-dlp still works thankfully.

Grayjay started shitting the bed on me recently (Android via Samsung and Graphene, and on Desktop Linux/Windows) unless I disable vpn.

Even with Agent andDNS whitelisting for the apps.

A bit of a bummer after recently donating.

I think its kinda nice we have a shit poster filling my feed with recycled memes.

Sure beats the usual spate of climate crisis, muskiness, and Palastenian genocide.

To each their own I suppose, but filters can be your friend.

The guides are pretty solid. The one that sometimes holds people up is ensuring you have a post-roll playout for the channel. I forgot that when going making new channels after a few months of initial config and it caused issues with channels rendering properly downstream.
