I’ll have to see if hypernormalisation is still on iPlayer

Edit: yes it is, well that’s not what I needed to discover at 1am with work tomorrow…

In answer to the making a good living:

Historically, record labels, then streaming becoming the norm allowing the collision between record labels and streaming services driving down the artist’s cut. Now increasingly so more recently, Live Nation/Ticketmaster and similar live event conglomerates taking bigger cuts and liberties from the last line of revenue traditionally successful artists have. And it’s at every level, there will be a local event promoter behaving as the live nation of local music in your area.

For new artists, most people discover music via streaming recommendations these days, if the algorithm doesn’t smile on a given artist for whatever reason, they won’t get played, and therefore they won’t get signed (given more and more up and coming artists self publish their earliest stuff these days)

That looks like a pretty cheap subscription fee for a country ~25%.

Mine is closer to actually half, though we get healthcare and a half decent social safety net with ours.

Happy to pay it because I know I’d not be where I am now without the stuff taxes pay for

The amount of effort necessary doesn’t make it worth it usually

Ah you figured it out,

Was going to say if you’ve not got any alarms set, an application will be (ab)using the system alarm functionality to do something at a scheduled time

Seems a little odd for signal to use it for scheduled messages, but that’s what’s going on regardless

I assume this is coming at some point, tbh

I personally reckon they’re working on something YAbridge-esque to allow people to bring their VSTs to the push in standalone mode. If they can actually nail that, it’s an absolute no brainer to then release a full Linux version of the DAW and finally allow people like me to make the switch

Every time I’ve tried to run Ableton on Linux over the years (most recently about Christmas last year), it’s the VST support that lets me down. I’ve got hundreds of VSTs I’ve used in various projects over the past couple of decades and I can’t switch unless I know they all work properly—projects not loading or sounding different is unacceptable. I need to be able to open anything I’ve worked on over the years and be able to get right into the creativity without tinkering, as that is what I already have today.

Until that day, I’ve got to begrudgingly keep windows around.

You would not want to do this for latency reasons

The US doesn’t deserve Dolly as a national treasure, she’s a treasure of the world

In spite of the USA we have today

How’s glasto, mate?

This is either satire or another case of conservatives being entirely unable to criticise anything without also broadcasting their kinks

If a dead thing would pickle, pretty much everything in the sea would end up pickled alive

I wonder if Steam would remove it from people’s libraries in that instance or just the Storefront

The best stuff at a cinema is rarely plastered all over the front, that’s just advertising for people who don’t really care about movies.

Also if your area is like mine, look for the smaller cinemas that screen the new oddities and forgotten classics

A lot of Arnie and no “hasta la vista, baby”

Baffling

Genuinely, OP, I think this might be one of my favourite shitposts

Wha-

Well how do you leave

Everyone’s got issues and problems—I’ve never met anyone that hasn’t anyway

Just gotta make sure you’re not leaving things unaddressed
