@rootbsd I'm not against evangelism in general, but on Fedi it looks so out of place most of the time: like "interjecting for a moment" when by Linux I mean preisely the kernel, or telling me about xmpp when I explicitly state that I know what xmpp is and I still want matrix… 🤷 @drcounelis@mstdn.starnix.network

@kaedechan@mastodon.ml Если текст получается семантически корректным, он уже слабо отличается от настоящих новостей.
С законотворческой деятельностью в РФ, как мне кажется, нейронная сеть бы прекрасно справилась 😆

@thor I feel the same way! Programming job also makes you realize how ugly stuff you use daily is on the inside. This just drove me crazy!
I'm unemployed now so I can have fun with tech, but I'm going to get a job and start doing all this for the money pretty soon. This is terrifying 😱

@thor Designing operating systems and programming languages is creative, using really good algorithm for data processing is too, but 80% of it is mundane stuff. Like every other field, I suppose 🤷

@nerdtronics@mstdn.starnix.network Mojeek is okay too. I really like the bang-shortcuts at DDG though, like "!wt something" to do Wiktionary search. I wish everyone adopted this.

@splitshockvirus
Looks delicious nonetheless!
I think I usually do this backwards 🤪
I use the frying pan to cook meat and veggies then put it into the rice-cooker and mix.
And I use something like emmer or bulgur instead of actual rice so it's not really according to any original recipe, just my own thing. But it's edible 😋

Ardour looks like a traditional DAW to me. I'm fine with using things like ProTools for recording stuff at the studio, mixing and audio-engineering, but for actual music making it's so limiting and… uncreative.
BitWig is more in the vein of Ableton Live — that is what makes it interesting.

I never was into VSTs, only used a couple of them. We were using instruments and filters built into Live — those were really well-optimized.
Did you try this BitWig thing? I wasn't into music when it got released so I didn't try it myself, but it looked promising. It's commercial software and I think it runs in Linux — shouldn't involve too much fawkage.

I remember recording our jams using a PowerPC G4 MacMini. We had bass and mic plugged into the FireWire sound card and a couple of MIDI controllers. Of course a bunch of filters/effects over it. It was recorded at 48 kHz in real-time and worked just fine. When did this stuff get so much more demanding?

Looks interesting, I've never explored those, I think I should take look.

@atyh Building from source is fine and xbps-src makes it even easier. But some hardware is just old. Building Firefox (yes, sometimes you need it) on my PowerMac G5 takes about two full days 😮
I don't usually patch it and I'm fine with default optimizations, so I'd just go with binary. Unfortunately Daniel no longer builds those for PPC-BE MUSL systems, so I build everything myself. Sometimes it's just a waste of computing power 🤷

@atyh I build st, dwm, dmenu and slock from source too. Like you said, patches, colors — it's the only way to customize those. But surf is fine as it is, that's why I asked.

@atyh That's because #VoidLinux has surprisingly small amount of cruft. If you tried an average Linux distro, you'd be terrified 😅
BTW did you try this: https://chimera-linux.org/
It's based on Linux kernel, but has BSD userspace and Clang. It's from the maintainer of PowerPC port of Void. I never tried it myself, but sounds interesting on paper.

@atyh Is there anything wrong with surf that is in #VoidLinux repos or was it for optimization's sake?

Russian wartime approach 🇷🇺💥:
We will rebuild the bridge so we can…
Oh my god, it got destroyed again!
We will rebuild…
Oh my god, it got destroyed again!

@markusl
Phew! At least that is not some Russian "innovation". Not that innovation is the Russian approach, usually it's "worst of all worlds": take the standards of living of a poor Asian country, but with climate of Scandinavian countries, slap taxes of richest European countries over it — that's it! Done! 🤣
