…sorry… work was crazy

Check out Pipewire, which is the modern standard of linux audio

I do not have the same requirements than you, but in audio production I can route anything in any which way I need (useful for switching monitoring or sources), and I did once plug an eq to my movie player because some ripped movie was really sounding bad

There are tons of VSTs available, too

There’ll be research to do, and a learning curve, but today is not the days of Jack anymore, it has become really easy if you go for a modern distro (arch, tumbleweed, fedora,…)

Have fun running your sound your way!

Just follow Improbable Research and their famous ignobel prizes ceremony for more.

Any modern gnome works great… until you have to type a lot. Also, typing on a wall-mounted screen is usually uncomfortable, not angled right.

So depending on your “obedience”, debian 12, Fedora 40, OpenSuse Tumbleweed or plain old Arch will do it.

Maybe there are.different style/type/propositions of on-screen keyboards out there.

Aw crap, completely forgot, worked another part of the building all day didn’t ever got near the exhibition rooms.

Better luck tomorrow I hope, sorry.

It does not, I know it because I have started them multiple times.

We use them as dumb players with an USB drive inserted, playing video on a loop all day long.

I’ll fetch you the ref tomorrow.

We just got 3 LG tv’s at work for an art exhibition. There’s no network available here (it’s a Napoleonic Fortress lol), and while they ask for it, dismissing all accounts/updates/online services is straightforward. You can delete all pre-installed apps (disney, netflix whatever) but LGtv and amazon. I can dig the model number tomorrow if you want.

OTOH I haven’t owned a tv since 2001.

Is it a rumor or is there a legal requirement that you must have some battery juuce left (in your laptop iirc) in order to cross US or UK borders? I remember this as an answer to “sorry, can’t fire up my device I’m out of battery”.

I learned something from my (quite activists) daughters recently: they delete the Signal app each time they cross a border.

It’s the main coordination and information tool in their circles, and the recommended behavior is just to not have the app when at risk.

Good luck finding incriminating evidence stifling through zillions of Pouting Selfies and Gossip-Sharing Screenshots of Idiot Boyfriend’ text messages.

Apple supposedly makes good hardware, and my ‘23 mbp in 14’ has excellent battery, great trackpad, very good sound and a beast of a screen. Now I don’t like whatever material these machines are made of, they are downright unpleasant to grab or touch, and the keyboard is abismal shit. I hate it, I am seriously not using it as much as I could not because Asahi, or Fedora, or bugs, or the availability of certain software for Arm64, but because of that shit keyboard. Asahi runs great, the full Pipewire sound stack developed for it is a pleasure to work on. Switch monitoring every which way, plug Firefox into Ardour and rip youtube, it all works, period.

To me M2 with 16g of ram is about on par with an intel i12 in everyday life. Sure it will win on rendering movies or some specific stuff, but day-to-day it’s like my friend’ Carbon X1 on Mint really.

Depends on the machine… Arch, Debian and …Asahi! (Actually Fedora)

Not a boat owner, but trained on sailboats: if you feel like it, take sailing lessons and get a feel for it, it’s fun and relaxing. I hate motorboats for the noise, the environmental impact. And it’s kinda dull.

In any case, navigation and boating in general has rules, depending on where you are you may have to get a license.

Got to your local sail club, take lessons. When you’re trained you will be able to rent boats from time to time. Almost nobody sails enough that buying is reasonable. And anchoring in a proper port means an annual fee to pay.

Birds. These jerks stared 4am this morning, and their way of announcing the bird-world (and the whole planet around) their morning urge to fuck RIGHT NOW and get fucked ASAP is annoying me seriously.

A lovely, sunny morning indeed. I want to barbecue these Priapic Jerks. Or make a Quetzalcoatl carnival costume of their skin or something.

Theatre tech. Show up on time. Sometimes shows don’t take late comers even with a bought ticket. And it’s bothering everyone else, artists included.

If the venue has a bar, stay for a drink. Like everyone else, artists (and techs) love to have a drink after a hard day at the office.

Funny story the other way around: the year is 2002 and I live in Laos. Bootlegs Everything Galore, all movies games music cost $1 or about. I discover a game, and then begins a quest to buy The Real Version because it’s a small studio and I really like it all, the storytelling, the modding tools, the community… A quest that would end up in Bangkok looking like the proverbial insane foreigner looking for the most stupid way to spend his money.

I found it eventually, in a shop that didn’t look any different among all its brothers in Pantip Plaza. Took me a while lol.

I know everybody always grandly takes on the High Seas, sailing them with lots of "arrrr“ and stuff, but I’ve found that small, quick flowing rivers oftentimes do yield a good catch.

Commodore 64, with the tape reader, hooked to a black&white CRT

Seems I’m the eldest one here for now

We used to meet for beers at any time of the day. Or night.

Having tea or coffee anytime past 10am is a sure sign of deliquescence of both body and mind I believe - and I should know since I totally reached that stage.

I remember the first time I thought we were getting old: A friend suggested we meet for coffee at around 4pm. Fml.
