I believe this is the fastest way to become disillusioned with your support group unless you blatantly realize your only reason for friendship is transactional inspiration and a future reference for opportunity beyond socially bonding. I have a couple of mutuals who’re following this kind of thing and at least in my point of view, the rush for ‘things’ over the bond that makes us feel complete is making them pointlessly dismissive towards others, but the problem is they don’t like the outcome of “leveling up your friends” instead of simply just making more friends and acquaintances.

Maybe being a billionaire is not for me. If anything talking to my lazier friends helps me realize just how out of tune I am with my own low level wants. I wish I could just play video games all day and feel okay about it!

Who’s “you all?” Do you have a thread of people on Hacker News, contrarian central by the way, ‘cheering’ on Zoe Quinn and Alex’s death or are you cherry picking moments that simply went against your ‘grain’? Is that why you signed up two days ago?

Read between the lines sweetie: You guys harassed Byuu and cheered when you were blamed and now you’re still finding ways to justify it. I’m a grown man sad to see an emulation developer gone. You’re no better than any other harassment hive mind.

I know what a ‘cub’ is and knowing your ilk I wouldn’t be shocked to find 2D teen ahegao porn on your hard drive, if you actually had substantial proof you would have let japanese authorities know. Too late for that though huh

I’m willing to dismiss their “problematic views” because the only “problematic views” they were harassed for in that thread was being “a troon” and “extorting” Null, and now that all hell broke loose, they’re suddenly a “Pedophile”. You can name all the victims of ‘cancel culture’ that I don’t know of, it doesn’t change anything here. You guys harassed them and cheered when you were blamed and now you’re justifying it. You’re no better.

Kiwi is back up, you might as well give up on this account and head back now because this is not the hugbox you expect it to be.

This is derangement. Byuu spent all of their time maybe ‘poorly’ dealing with harassment along with being a huge contribution to emulation circles, you’re equating cancel culture to them for what reason? Because they didn’t say anything about your favorite conservatives? This logic goes nowhere and so there’s simply no discussion to get out of this. God knows how many social or financial conservatives are on this site and still no one believes you.

I’ve seen the thread myself, this was not gossip and you guys do not act as moral arbiters just because one end of ‘cancel culture’ didn’t harass a key developer in emulation just because they were transgender. I’m not even going to entertain the ‘pedophilia’ claim. You people aren’t fooling anyone here, you can’t even fool /vr/.

This is such a lie. Anyone who peeked at Byuu’s thread yesterday when the news dropped would instantly run into replies practically excited over it, there’s plenty of screenshots to go through being posted on Twitter before the DDOS. You can try to minimize the language being used here all you want, the intent is clear.

Here's some thoughts: The current resources aren't entirely better but you can absolutely get things done now. There's more software choices than offered here and more developers willing to build worthy native plugins for the platform, Bitwig is absolutely comparable to Ableton with the addition of various modular tools that wipe the need for at least a few plugins a lot of my EDM buds rely on, and on the more unstable end of things, Wine + LinVST does work. Spire works, Serum works, Omnisphere works, NI Reaktor and Kontakt 'works' (it's painful), there's a decent list of VSTs that are either performing near-natively or just 'works' using frameworks like LinVST and Airwave. Midi works like any OS and you actually do not need the use of a real time kernel these days from my own usage. it all bubbles down to a decently useful workstation.

Distro wise, I've hopped from 'media' centric distros, Arch to Pop-OS and now considering Kubuntu, and my experience has been fairly the same:

- Install the KxStudio package repo - Install cadence and it's dependencies which includes jack2 from the repo (I'm not going to go into the mess between choosing jack1 and jack2) - Install Bitwig - Install Wine and LinVST to my binaries

which alone is more system fiddling than macOS, but I think you just simply expect it though. Cadence and it's suite of routing and config tools would help make up the loss of any ASIO panel, it's more in line with how audio setup on macOS is.

Biggest problem right now to me is hardware support, and Linux support goes from cheap and not enough, to really expensive and not specific towards me. Finding an interface to fit my eventual needs... 6+ ins and 6+ DC coupled outs, 2 XLR ins, possibly some type of ADAT, and maybe a word clock... these are Universal Audio or Focusrite type of needs. I own a MOTU Traveler and I'm lucky that the built in MOTU driver 'works' but it's sort of messy. MOTU's lack of interest in sharing the interfaces' beans doesn't help and it's nearly the same story for every interface manufacturer: it's a trade secret risk to let the community build a driver, and or there's just no money to come out of allocating resource towards an official driver. It sucks, but with my Traveler, I've managed to have some fun when everything is stable which is at least more than I expect. There's days where I look at Universal Audio hardware and want to end up buying a Mac and a UA interface.

I wouldn't recommend it because workspace and consistent stability is incredibly important if you're full time, but you CAN make it work if you're curious like me and be fun. I've managed to cut a few dance records for some labels on my build but issues do arise which I think may get in the way in the moment my workload would have to speed up or expand to recording more than a microKorg and using native vsts and Wine, and for that moment I'm always down to Hackintosh or just buy a real Mac. I love linux development and making music on it feels nice until those issues arise.

Your username checks out, at least.

> without heavy policing a large city with very high income inequality like NYC would quickly turn into a dystopian shithole

A lack of order is not what I'm 'proposing', but more the factor that 'order' is very obviously skewed towards minorities as shown by various sources you could seek now. One could also discuss how it's based on crime statistics, but that would reach to "systematic oppression" fields: You can't continuously punish random people of a certain race just because statistics say they're 'likely' to commit crime, this is systematic. What you see as a dystopian shithole is already just that for those who can't have their peace without law involvement, and ML tools will not skirt around this, the bias will only transfer and amplify such shit.

> I also believe countermeasures are necessary to prevent Islamic radicalization (and any other kind of radicalization as well).

The department responsible for the spying disbanded and confirmed in 2014 that they hadn't generated a terrorism related case since 2008, as stated in the previous NYT article. You'd frankly figure that after 9/11, American Muslims — Let alone those in New York, would be actively against any kind of 'radicalization' unless you consider simply practicing religion as 'radicalization', which NYPD practically did here.

> Don't try nothing - won't be nothing

I mentally envy the ability to state such a thing, to be honest.

I do think you don’t need citations to know that over-surveillance is a consistent happening, my apologies if you aren’t American.

New York recently finished settling and paying out a case where they were accused of heavily, unreasonably surveilling a number of muslim people and properties. In the end, they still admitted to no misconduct.

This is just a single drop in heavy policing that NYC pushed for and is still dealing with the effects of doing so. Stop and Frisk comes to mind: https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=846365
