Some breakthroughs have led me to finally and definitively abandon microshit's spyware.
I had been staying on wangblows for the audio software but had no idea Linux production had come so far.

My DAW [Renoise] has a fucking excellent native linux version that exceeds WIndows performance in some cases. Grabbing audio to feed into its sampler is easier than ever with youtube-dl and ffmpeg.
yabridge lets you convert Windows VSTs to run through Wine, the ones I've tried have worked seamlessly albeit with a little overhead.
Takes a tiny bit of elbow grease to get it optimized enough for serious use, but it's pretty simple once you get past initial setup and it even supports VST3.

Feels pretty good to be making music on a system I have so much control over, it's actually given me a lot of inspiration to work on new material.
Are you a composer or producer who runs Linux? What's your workflow/software?

Fun fact, WiFi is a major security risk. I recently turned it off, and even when I had it on, it was on a separate, heavily firewalled VLAN that only guests use. None of my computers were connected to it.

If you can, you should use ethernet exclusively. Run cables in your house.

Apparently one of the maintainers have been adding backdoors to xz/liblzma for who knows how long. Because it was coming from a "trusted" source (upstream), nobody noticed it until now. Does this mean the end of the open-source security myth?

i imagine that the greatest challenge comes from the sneaky-sneaky glowies digging years old rabbit holes to push backdoors into code. due to the open source nature of xz, malicious code must be very well hidden, difficult for the ai to detect, see >>23973 for a tl;dr of the very lengthy process. plus, its not like you can just grep the source code and find a boolean response to some given string whether its malicious or not. although i imagine these aren't huge limitations, as the plot was foiled pretty easily by, of all people, a Microsoft dev and I would imagine after this fiasco more effort will be concentrating on ravaging through rabbit-holes for malicious code.

You unironically have nighas on this board arguing the OGAS cybernetic system of the fucking 70s USSR was the last actual technological advancement meanwhile American and Chinese research firms are building general purpose humanoid robots (androids that can take any basic command and execute it), building the infrastructure for a fully digitized real world visible only through headsets, neuro-chips that control computers with thoughts, successful gene therapy, and successful eye transplants; but keep fapping to tech from a literal century ago

>>NVIDIA literally crunching the numbers faster than Moore's Law predicted with their new AI chips
What does this even mean

The number of transistors on the chips is very slightly off the predicted 2 year mark in the negative direction, and this has been the case for the last decade.
If you mean it literally, then you're forgetting that the arithmetic of AI accelerators is probabilistic and imprecise. This is good for neutral networks, but it's a completely different thing from and not comparable to chips not specialised for ML.

A never-ending conversation between Bavarian director Werner Herzog and Slovenian philosopher Slavoj Žižek. When you open this website, you are taken to a random point in the dialogue. Every day a new segment of the conversation is added. New segments can be generated at a faster speed than what it takes to listen to them. In theory, this conversation could continue until the end of time.

Has anyone heard about this new dating app called Duolicious? It's supposedly designed to help you meet like-minded individuals based on your personality. Sounds like a neat concept, but I can't help feeling a bit skeptical about it.

First off, how accurate can these personality assessments really be? I mean, are we reducing the complexity of human relationships to a mere algorithm? And what about privacy concerns? With all the data breaches happening these days, I'm wary of handing over intimate details of my personality to some tech company.

Plus, there's the whole capitalist angle. Is this just another way to monetize loneliness and exploit our desire for connection? It feels like these apps are more about making profits than genuinely helping people find meaningful relationships.

I'm curious to hear your thoughts on this. Do you think Duolicious is a step forward in online dating, or just another tech gimmick preying on our emotions?

As an experiment, I am going to (at least try to) exclusively coom to art made by artists who have posted those works to their personal website.

If even core web sites can fall off due to lack of / difficulty to access NSFW content–Tumblr, for example–then that could be that's a factor in why people gravitate to the core, and one that seems immediately addressable if you can get people to make the habit of making pages linking to them.
