I've completed my studio setup/patching for my new album, which is already in progress. The piece de resistance is a Manley Core channel strip. It quickly helped make the best clean electric guitar sound I've ever gotten. (Audio proof via some noodling I was doing)
Elec gtr --> Manley Core bussed to Ursa Major Stargate --> MXR Layers pedal
Also interesting: there is ZERO buzz or hum from my guitar when it runs through the Manley. This is the best preamp I've ever owned.

its completely ok to not have a fancy nixos setup with niri, and to use something stock that works for you instead its completely ok to use vscode instead of helix or nvim or whatever, and vice versa! its completely ok if you do not have the spoons, energy or frankly if you just do not want to switch off of windows/linux/$distro because it feels comfy to you
do what sparks joy for you. "cringe" is not real. you are pawsome.
happy new year everyone! I hope everyone focuses on loving themselves instead of driving hard to fit in with those around you. autostraddle.com/queer-resolut…

Imagine as part of "Elbows Up" having a Government legislative program to guarantee a right to repair, with an emphasis on reducing e-waste (sustainability) and curbing anti competitive practice. This would include banning DRM.
- repeal DMCA-style anti-circumvention crap - prohibit non replacable batteries - require supply of repair instruction and parts - prohibit part keying
Linux is good now. The author had enough of Windows and Microsoft shenanigans. I'm brave enough to say it: Linux is good now, and if you want to feel like you actually own your PC, make 2026 the year of Linux on (your) desktop
Most people hate it when Microsoft shoves AI into Windows and every Office app. The Linux community is thankful for this obsession. Keep it up, Microsoft! Thanks to you we have a better chance of seeing the "Year of the Linux Desktop" :)
This is a repository of apps to be used with your F-Droid client. Applications in this repository are official binaries built by the original application developers, taken from their resp. repositories (mostly Github, GitLab, Codeberg).
Launched Notepad on Windows 11 and found that they 1) added CoPilot and 2) automatically logged me into an account. I don't use a Microsoft account for Windows but one is required to install Office. They had no business reusing that signin for any software outside of Office. I just want a damned plain text editor.

@ebassi Oh, gosh, you are right; these at-spi2-core xml docs have a lot of issues. I'll see if I can get anything fixed up before I have to release the alpha.
