Maaaan I remember these ads! Thanks for sharing.

Dude, don’t disparage the chihuahua. They’re the pinnacle of anxiety; something many of us can relate with.
If you’re perpetually online, maybe? The only time you should give a shit about your chin is if you have an abnormally absent one. Like Andrew Tate for example.
Are there any old ads you can link to on YouTube for this thing? I wanna see!
Sounds like homeopathy lol
What I was trying to say was that I’m happy to be free of Microsoft’s ability to just sunset an operating system version that I liked and replace it with an even more privacy-disrespecting, ad and AI-bloated nightmare.
Nobara is at least under my control in a significant way. Windows, like so many other software solutions these days wants to treat me like cattle and I want no part in that.
#NobaraGang. I gave Mint a go a few years ago and just never really got anywhere close to replacing my Windows install.
I’ve gotten 90% of all use cases handled by Nobara at this point. The main outlier being my sim racing setup just because according to forums the drivers for all the peripherals are just really not ready for adoption yet. My sim rig will stay on Windows for now as the whole reason I invested in a proper cockpit and peripherals was to reduce the friction involved with enjoying the sims. Also, anti-cheat seems to be a no-go on Linux for now so as an iRacing enjoyer, Linux is out of the question for the time being.
That said, my entire home studio for recording (incl. Hardware peripherals), my daily driver use case and all my other gaming needs are currently met by Nobara. I’m so happy to be able to end my reliance on Microsoft.
Greeting viewers by name? Not in my fucking house. AI should be a tool to rid humanity of undesirable work. Instead its replacing humanity in every field where humanity is the main event. Why the fuck would I ever want to listen to a fucking robot while I watch the Olympics, or anything for that matter?
Buy dumb TVs. Make your next phone a Pixel and install Graphene OS. Ditch Windows/MacOS for Linux. Use ProtonMail. Run a Pi-Hole on your network. Do anything you can to take control of your digital footprint in any way.
Don’t let corporations freely suck your data dry and exploit your life for profit while force feeding you their elaborate fakery. Its impossible to insulate yourself from it all but any step towards digital privacy is the right step to take.
100%. I just bought a Pixel 8 so I could install Graphene OS. It was so damn easy too. I was amazed. This phone is great minus the lack of headphone jack and SD card slot.
None of those tools has ever made a full releasable track for anyone, just like the tape machine never created music out of nowhere.
It happens when your girlfriend is extremely unstable by default, even more so after a fight, comes to your parents house drunk in the middle of the night and essentially shames you for trying to reject her advances while simultaneously being physical about it by forcing you down and assuming you’re playing some mind game while you try your best to avoid waking your parents in the next room and making a scene cause she’s being loud and borderline belligerent. The sheer embarassment is enough for personal boundaries to get absolutely stomped on in that situation.
Life is living among infinite shades of grey. Every situation has nuance that you might not have thought of.
This sums up my love for the Fediverse.
I’m not using Linux in any enterprise capacity, but the compatibility improvements I’ve seen since the last time I tried out a distro for fun are immense.
So immense infact that I’m migrating all my home studio and gaming stuff over to Linux and making it my official daily driver via Nobara.
I’m honestly amazed by how well music production software and hardware works on Linux now. I’m so relieved because I thought this whole Windows enshittification thing was just another part of my life where I seemingly have no control over being made into a product and having all of my data sold constantly.
A recent migration to GrapheneOS and this new discovery of Linux’s amazing capabilities for my use case are such a breath of fresh air. I now have the choice to reject the exploitative practices of these tech companies that have zero respect for people and that makes me happy.
The more we use and recommend Linux the more of a chance we get of first party support in the future!
This is just even more justification to use alternatives. If a mass migration to alternatives occurs, those apps will flourish and more dev time can be arranged via new devs interested in volunteering or outright being employed to meet demand.
Adobe is only so big because of their userbase. Migrate that userbase to a less cancerous set of applications and the userbase stands to benefit greatly.
Very likely lol I’ll whoosh myself on that one haha
Email.
Fax is not secure, never has been and most businesses are using e-fax which is email with extra steps.
This particular dinosaur actually deserves to be Chicxulub’ed.
Please for the love of god abandon fax. I’m tired of troubleshooting it.
Honestly, your best bet is to get a guitar amp. Not only will the speaker in your amp be voiced for bass, but the preamp section will be as well. That’s not to say its completely unsuitable for guitar, but you’re just less likely to nail the tone you want.
Definitely recommend trading the GT1 and the amp in for a Katana. Those things are actually insanely good. I’ve owned an AxeFX2 for 11 years and I still want a Katana just because its convenient and straight up awesome.
Check out LambChopper678 and John Nathan Cordy on YouTube for some cool Katana demos.
That’s wonderful. My wife and I are similarly close and I find myself constantly looking forward to spending time together.
So many people just assume you need to dime the master volume to get good tone. It’s not the 70’s anymore. Most amps are made so that the pre-amp does the tonal heavy lifting. The power section doesn’t need to be pushed at all to get a serviceable tone. Sure, there’s extra sauce in the power amp as you turn it up but its not an absolute necessity like it was 50 years ago.
Cheeseburger Doritos, man. They actually taste like a McDonalds Quarter Pounder. I loved those. This era was my early teen years. Good times.
