Considering LSS NA, I wonder do I need to take helmet and gasmask with me, if I end up going there, because the shit that I'm seeing in news etc. is fucking beyond insane o_O

If you put Apple’s designs in reverse order it looks like the portfolio of a designer becoming really really good at their job 😂

It seems that Windows is purposely made worse version by version, and it is probably a strategy (i.e. not a mistake).
Still, what if the AI/subscription crap does not pay off or the market segment suffers a major decay?
Often history shows that when a company attacks to its own genes in the favor of profit, at some point this tends shoot back.
I'm worried about Windows, I always have at least one Thinkpad with Windows installed, and in the end of the day NT kernel itself is pretty cool entity (if you are interested on OS kernels).
Also, what is there to hate if Windows deceases :-/

mjg59@nondeterministic.computerIt is actually kind of wild that we're simultaneously in an era of people complaining that Wayland is destroying choice and also maybe the greatest number of high-quality desktop environments aimed at different use cases the free software world has ever had

Attacking to any of countries, or associated autonomous territories in the arctic region here in the cold and dark north would not be a walk in the park for any adversary.
Also, Denmark to its size has lost most soldiers per capita than any of the NATO allies in recent'ish wars started by US (mainly Afganistan and Irak).
The storyline that thanks to US protecting us our territories are safe is total bullshit. If anywhere in the world, in the north it is all about mutual benefit in defence and security when it comes to NATO.
E.g., US trains it special forces for arctic conditions in Finland from time to time.

I don't get the noise of one particular famous person using LLM to generate a Python visualizer. There's absolutely zero real intellectual challenge to write visualizers with Python *beyond* the essential domain knowledge.
If you know the domain, and can describe requirements for it accurately enough, I personally call this smart use of automation for the *unpaid* time of hobby projects :-)
I'd do the same and spend rest of the time with friends and family and shit...

I'm not sure if I have any practical use as a maintainer for any possible AI guidelines because such priority emphasizes the task of writing or generating code. It is for me as important for a code review as whether one used search-replace functionality of a text editor while writing the kernel patch.

Trying to figure where I left of with the V4L2 loopback driver year ago. It's not easy return to a feature patch after such period :-) But perhaps that also makes "over-engineering" less probable. Sometimes "I don't know hat I'm doing" state can be surprisingly productive :-)
It looks like at least that there is half-way complete VB2 integration so I guess I try to see what is left to do and squash that at first.

i guess midi 2.0 is like ipv6 of audio.
there was big announcement in 2020 with synth companies like yamaha, and also IT companies such as Google, but nothing has came out so far :-)
never seen a product claiming midi 2.0 support

It is quite obvious that devices that embed Linux, Pipewire and for the app tailored tiled wm, Plasma and similar tools are the future of devices of this category:

Self-programmable MIDI controllers are a category where "the product" does not yet exist for doing anything very efficiently at least. E.g., for an artist OSC/Pilot requires whole team of specialists on tour, so it is not really for everyone, and TBH even that demo is "not that amazing" ;-)
Off-the-shelf self-contained Linux based MIDI device where you could setup similar control widgets on touch screen would essentially replace the team of IT specialists with a backpack (on tour).
Such device could be easily larger than e.g., 1010music's Blackbox [1], and it still would be super convenient and cheap the build :-)
[1] Blackbox is quite a amazing sampler and is about the size of two CD covers piled together.
