    yeah but processors phone home anyway at a level beneath the OS and there’s no european chip development worth mentioning. so i’m not sure real sovereignty is ever going to be poss…

    why would that “crowd” present themselves as bots by modifying their user agent string? the point is to poison someone’s agent with sponsored “knowledge” over time.

    i read it as a Hamburg thing. my experience is mostly with NRW and i don’t recognise anything of this article in it. hierarchical, conservative, suspicious.

    yeah Munich if anything is extremely hostile to integration. i know several people who moved there and got burnt out trying to integrate. with previous knowledge of the language.

    there is almost no sci-fi with at least some invention and speculation that bends known physics and/or engineering, either implicitly or explicitly. novels that seem very “hard” of…

    most drugs get people talking but there’s something especially cocky about the cocaine types. i’ve never done it but i can occasionally tell when someone’s used it regularly becaus…

    maybe my take on this is weird but spending more than 5-10 on entry is a sign it’s commercial and not really gonna be fun. the more informal the better. club goers from Londons leg…

    blows my mind that there’s not a single open solution for mobile wallets and nobody is saying anything.

    XMPP, then. it’s the continually inventing new protocols (insert XKCD comic) that i’m protesting against.

    i think this has more to do with the innate tendency of a capitalist media machine: getting people into an addictive hype cycle of merchandisable content is profitable, having them…

    as someone who wasn’t online in the IRC heydays i really wonder why we can’t just build on it, instead of inventing new protocols

    tried this and it’s not always an immediate eyes-light-up. it’s a bit frustrating really, the chasm between what people know and what they need to know.

    playback in Resolve would probably just use hardware decoding and barely hit your CPU or GPU. RAM usage would also not be much.

    i can’t imagine prefix or postfix being easier for most people to understand.

    seems so, but there are thousands of good tape sat emulations, both paid and free. and i think some chowdsp ones might be open source.

    to add, all of this doesn’t account for music outside of that which is a direct descendant of 15th and 16th century contrapuntal music, aka the sort defined by exactly the medieval…

    given that wordpress.com is just managed hosting i wonder if other providers can bring that cost down. installing it yourself is trivial though because of Softaculous, and web host…

    what aspect of school level “mathematical notation” is so bad as to be brain damage inducing?

    i don’t think any dynamic range manipulation is being done, beyond the slight variations as a consequence of the other processing. generally 0dBVU is mapped to -18dBFS with VU styl…

    AI is merely exposing an already existing tendency. the creative output of the average non professional will always tend to the mean. it’s a tautology, that’s what the mean is. pro…
