Not only that but clowns running the circus is a pretty apt example of Socialism. The clowns literally own the means of production. The better they are at clowning and clown-like activities, the better the circus is and the more money the circus makes, thus the more money they make. They’d have incentive to make the best circus they could make.
If I remember right it had to do with taxes being paid on the square footage of the main floor. They’d build out as they went up to save money on bigger places.
It’ll have to be torn down anyway if there’s ever a new administration. There’s no way of knowing how many listening devices and spyware there may or may not be built into it.
I think Ubuntu Touch gets decent reviews
Haha same thing for me. -R was a game changer
Wow. I’m not sure I’ve ever read a comment so true haha. Giving me flashbacks
i came here to say this. I was really frustrated for a while figuring this out and understanding how it really makes things more secure, even if you’re the only one using the computer. At first it drove me nuts when my server would auto create a folder for media and I’d attempt to change some files within and not have permission, like, my account should have access to everything.
Changing access permissions without understanding how/why completely borked my first install by setting a user without sudo privileges as primary (or something, I still don’t know what I did haha) but I couldn’t sudo anything and was locked on that profile.
I started by just using Nautilus but this is not good practice so I learned the basics and it finally started making sense.
Oh ok, I didn’t know that. I thought it was just Ubuntu with pre installed programs and a low latency kernel. I’ve been enjoying the learning curve, even though it’s been frustrating at times I’ve learned so much in the last 2 months and love it haha
Damn, I’m 2 months into my first Linux experience and went with Ubuntu Studio since I use my PC for freelance audio/music/art and it’s promoted as great for creatives. It took a lot of work to get my audio working without ALSA and more work to get smaller things working right. I’m concerned if I switch distros I’ll have to do it all again and I barely remember what I did to fix things haha. Think I’m stuck with Ubuntu. Didn’t realize it was so looked down on.
It’s a territory and Puerto Ricans are born American citizens.
I have not, didn’t know that was an option haha. I’ll look into how to use it. I’m guessing it’s a log of some kind?
I’m new to Linux and have the same card. Running Ubuntu Studio the new 580 driver freezes my application menu. What driver are you using? I tried 570 and it worked for everything except it wouldn’t show video on Davinci Resolve so no go for me. I went back to 550 which works for everything except my taskbar freezes multiple times per day and I have to restart plasma each time.
About 2 years ago I started the process of moving away from big tech, slowly, starting with transitioning from gmail to Protonmail. Ramped up on Jan 20 after seeing big tech CEOs at Trump’s inauguration. Windows was the last thing I switched. I had kicked it down the list because I freelance with an audio focus, and Linux is sorely less equipped for audio than Windows or Mac. Said screw it about 2 months ago and made the switch, and I’m now completely free from walled gardens and big tech.
It hasn’t been an easy switch, but I’ve made it work, and in fact have improved my audio quality with Linux. There certainly are limitations, and some things take more effort, but I’ve come to realize a bit of extra work in exchange for freedom is far superior than convenience in a walled garden covered in surveillance.
Not just Americans. I just spent $145 CAD on at best 5 days worth of food. Granted I’m doing my best not to eat shitty food so it was fresh veg among other non/less processed stuff. Barely any meat too. Food costs are insane in Canada too.
I’m a voice actor and musician, and moved to Linux about a month and a half ago with Ubuntu Studio. I went from using Adobe Audition and Cubase to Reaper and Bitwig, and highly recommend both. Reaper is WAY more powerful than I realized. For FOSS you could try Ardour, I’ve heard good things. Personally I hated it haha, but that may just be because I tried Ardour first after switching to Linux and had the learning curve of both a new OS/audio setup and a new DAW at the same time with a project due day-of.
The biggest issues I had was just getting audio to work properly. I was stuck using ALSA for a few weeks, which worked but only allows one program to use audio at once. I very much recommend looking into using JACK and setting up pipewire.
You can absolutely start just recording via mic and editing from there. If you want to hook up instruments, check out midi controllers. Some plugins are extremely helpful for creating a more polished sound like eq, compressors, limiters, etc. If the space you’re recording in doesn’t have the best sound treatment, Reaper has a great noise reduction plugin called ReaFIR. It’s a little more aggressive than I like but works really well (feel free to ask me how to use it if you’re having problems).
My recommendation is to start with Reaper (it’s got a free trial that you can keep using beyond the end date) and get your hardware working. After that, record a few tracks, throw them together into your DAW of choice, and play around with them.
My point is even with only 30 minuntes, yes, when fascism has already taken root those minutes should be spent on fighting back however possible.
I mean, yes? The system is designed to keep everyone too exhausted/stress/scared to bother trying to do anything. At this point in the US, if you only have 4 hours of your day to educate yourself on the current situtation, talk to others about it, and do something (even if it seems like just a drop in the ocean), yes, abso-fucking-lutely yes, spend those 4 hours doing that!
But he’ll fit MUCH better as an example. They’re not gonna throw away an opportunity to publicly execute him to show what happens if you dare to attack one of theirs. He’s in custody, they’re already spinning the narrative that he was brainwahsed into radical leftism, they’re not gonna just knock him off. He’s a pocket ace if they play their cards right.
Robinson will be the example. They’ll keep pushing the angle that he was radicalized by the left, then push Utah to bring back public executions. All in the name of Charlie Kirk.
They won’t acknowledge his death, they’ll Weekend-at -Bernie’s him. Trump is the only candidate who can push through a 3rd term, thus normalizing it for the next dictator. They need him “alive”.
Trump consistently posts obvious AI videos (over saturated, glitched, uncanny valley etc), duping his base into believeing they can distinguish AI from reality. All the admin has to do when he dies is make up something about more assassination attempts and needing to stay out of public, then just deepfake Trump with legit AI for screens for the next however many years they need. His base won’t believe it’s AI because they “know what AI looks like”.
