He wants AI to become strictly regulated so no one can catch up to his stagnating bullshit engine.

I thought they broke up

Hiring people at lower wages that is.

It’s really hard for me to understand how iOS is better in this sense. The only way to get this app is via the app store and the ONLY way to use the app store is be registering yourself with apple. Seems to me that you are tracked either way.

IMHO the devs probably wrote this in Swift and just don’t have experience working with android. Whole thing/story is just off IMO.

I’m really just sceptical about the whole thing being closed source really.

It’s 1000% possible to use android apps without involving Google in any way.

Ok so I’ll just focus on dual booting since there are other thorough replys here.

I really recommend that you DO dual boot but only in a specific way.

When people say “Dual Boot”, this can mean two very different things.

A common way to dual boot is to have windows and Linux exist on the same drive by partitioning the drive and installing a boot manager. I strongly advise against this. It’s not worth the risk and pain.

Just install linux on a totally new drive and select it as the boot drive from bios. Leave you windows drive untouched.

Linux is much better than it ever has been. There is a very good chance it can do everything you want. But, especially as someone running a business, there will be times when you just need to get something done and will want to fall back to what you know. These times often lead to people giving up and rolling back to windows in a panic.

Just leave yourself a way to instantly and effortlessly fall back into windows as needed and eventually you will end up doing that less and less. Until you don’t do it at all and the windows drive gets wiped for more Linux storage.

LM studio is not open source at all.

Fwiw I use a phone imported from the UK (Nothing Phone 1) in NA without problems so who knows why they won’t do this.

It’s really unlikely this will become an issue. Especially not one without an easy solution. Fedora is a very popular distro.

Us here in NA finally get to see what its like on the other side of the region locking coin haha.

Windows is just a gotcha game now lmao

What the fuck? This is so unhinged. Genuine question, is he actually this dumb or he’s just saying complete bullshit to boost stock prices?

I use F-droid to get my open source apps. Much more trustworthy than Google play. It’s my first stop for anything I’m looking for.

“great on deck” is a lot more than Linux support. It also means the text is readable on a small screen and the game has 100% controller support.

This is a thing. It just doesn’t work very reliably for the reasons you mentioned.

It does work kind of ok on some comics like the one OP shared and generally pretty well on manga since that tends to be more consistent with the boxes.

I don’t know of anything open source or self hosted that does this though.

So this is kind of going to be weird advice. Maybe not exactly what you are looking for.

You don’t need all those synths and plugins. You really don’t. You can get so, so far just by learning to use the tools that are built into Reaper or Bitwig.

There are really only a handful of audio effects that “really exist” a lot of FX plugins are just complex chains with fancy UIs. But if you understand what they’re doing “under the hood” you can reproduce almost any sound from from the basic building blocks you have.

The same is true for synthesisers. You truly only need one synth as long as it is a flexible, general purpose modern synth. Learning to use one specific synth to it’s full potential will let you make almost any sound you can imagine. Vital synth is a perfect candidate here btw.

Overall I kind of think part of the Linux mindset in general is kind of about doing things your self based on an understanding of the core principals at play.

That being said, there are tons of plugins coming out with native Linux support all the time and it’s getting better every day.

I’m actually about to drop some Linux builds of some plugins myself but I don’t want to dox myself here so that will have to remain a mystery for now.

Why are some in quotes?

I’m a software developer that releases for Linux. I know it’s a pain. I’m just in the camp of thinking we should fix it instead of giving up.

Please don’t do this

Depends on what you mean by “audit”.

I look at the GitHub repo.

• How many stars?
• Last commit?
• Open issues
• Contributer count

Do I read the whole code base? Of course not. But this is way more than I can do with closed source software.
