One can say that stomp boxes follow UNIX philosophy. They do one thing and can be connected ("piped") to make complex sounds. For example, if you want distortion, with some modulat…

What's so bad about Boss pedals. I _love_ how they look. Their retro-futuristic vibe (it's genuine vibe, they haven't changed since 80s).

But launching rockets isn't rocket science. You build giant steel tube, fill it with some explosives and liquid oxygen, ignite it and, kaboom! you go to space. That's the theory be…

That's assuming that there's a space to pull over, which is often not the case on city streets. Especially, when every AV wants to pull over.

...and certainly better for your data plan.

Yeah, same here!

Multiple windows I look at the screenshots and think "we're living in the ~future~ 1996"!

I scribble important stuff on my calendars. So replacing them every year is a feature, not a bug!

I think that's called "whataboutism".

It's not "only three levels". All my irons have had "continuous" "level" knob, with three "presets", represented as dots. Along with other "presets" for different kinds of things t…

This. States that push such legislation are also likely to be corrupt. It's fine until you run into problems with someone that happens to be in power.

Such laws have some far-fetched, surprising (at least for Westerners) and very creepy consequences. I've read a story about a Swedish girl that had been date-raped while staying on…

Is "World Cup" public? I assume this is an event organised by private (for-profit) entity (FIFA).

To be precise, from the city of Zurich. Which is indeed a part of Europe, but hardly representative.

Yeah, if I had to guess, I'd bet on IRIX too. But it seems that IRIX uses [AL (Audio Library)]( https://nixdoc.net/man-pages/IRIX/man3d/alIntro.3d.html ), not OSS.

Does macOS use OSS?

> OSS is the unix de-facto standard Is unix actually used for "serious audio"? If not, talking about "de-facto standards" doesn't make any sense.
