Ah, the cowboy method. Gotcha.

I mean…the cartoon has basically all kinds of coffee prep excepting french press, aeropress and the various ways to make cold brew. Are you talking about instant coffee? Because that’s definitely windows…

Corporations aren’t people

Don’t they just slap a custom configured dosbox in the folder and point to it for launch? Could just strip out dosbox and have the thing.

JD Vance? Is that you?

Haven’t had to use them recently, check out the man?

Have you tried silver, crosses or a stake?

Ah yes, the OG rage quit. Love to see it.

Like I replied to someone else FL has been “running well in wine” for ages now. I’ve just never managed to get it functioning at all, like I wasn’t having audio issues or anything…because the one click wouldn’t work for me, and manually setting it never worked for me either. It’s been about 2 years now since I tried, and this recall bullshit means that if I can’t get it running I’ll just switch to something else and change my workflow.

FL studio has “worked well in wine” for ages now, I’ve never managed to get it properly functioning. Like I said, I’ll give it another try, not willing to have recall running on my machines.

I’ve been using Fruityloops for over 20 years. I’ve tried loads of stuff, but my workflow is pretty stuck in the FL ecosystem. I haven’t tried Ardour yet, definitely willing to give it a go, but when I’m in the mood to punch something out really quick, I already know all the keybinds, how things interact etc etc. I’ve started using Sunvox a bit. It’s a modular synth/tracker runs one everything shy of an actual potato…I think doom is the only thing I know about that runs on more systems than Sunvox. But it’s painful when I want to just diddle something quick that’s stuck in my head.

Fuuuuuck…well…my laptop was my last windows device. It came with 11 installed, and the only reason I keep using 11 is because I have had no success in running my DAW in wine. Guess it’s time to give it a go again…

Ok, tell me how many people who would be using Linux, that might have issues looking up things, that wouldn’t default to Google. There’s a significant portion of the population that thinks Google is the only search engine.

Oh, no totally, there’s people asking questions that Google used to be able to answer. Google is now a burning tire fire, and getting a useable answer from it can now be a full time job…is what I’m saying.

that could have been solved with a google search

This is very quickly becoming untrue. Actually, I’d argue that it’s been somewhat not the case for some situations, that I’ve personally encountered, for over a decade. There’s times when I search forums for days, finally find someone who’s experiencing the exact same issue as me. The post is marked solved! Fuck yeah!
The post:

OP: Hey guys, I’m trying to fix xyz and I’m not able to find anything on it. Could I get some help?

Two months after initial post:

Only reply is OP: Nevermind guys, I figured it out.

Me: FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK!

How likely are you to not be able to access the internet at a UK border you might be traveling through? Seriously.

There’s been quite a few times where I’ve not been able to access the internet through my phone at major airports in the UK. Heathrow, Luton, Glasgow. I didn’t have an active UK SIM I wasn’t able to get net connection through the WiFi as they were overloaded/having issues. This is not uncommon.

Also, have you heard of a download for offline usage?

See, it’s not a multi-use thing, it’s not like a membership card or a boarding pass or a credit card. It’s a code that’s generated by logging into the .gov site, and is only valid for a single use, and a limited time.

I’m a Canadian immigrant to the UK, from December 1st this year, all Residency proof documents are formed forced digital. As I’m Canadian I can just scan my passport and get in, no visa required. If border control pulls me aside and demands my proof of residency, and I can’t access the internet, I may be stuck in a small room for hours or days, or ejected from the country. So that’s gonna be fun.

Nice! Took me the better part of 5mins to dredge his name from the deepest folds of my memory, glad I got it right.

I remember hearing about them when they first started late research stages(like figuring out how to scale to mass manufacturing levels.)
Was it…uhhhhh…snaps fingers what’s his name, Dr Goodenough? The guy that was a major player in all our modern battery tech?
