The build in this tune is epic. Best live version I’ve found so far.

Update:

It’s not Eraserhead(Lynch), but I’m pretty sure the movie you were talking about is Videodrome(Cronenberg, 1983).

Equally unsettling film. I only watched Videodrome for the first time, last year at a Sunday double with The Thing.

Videodrome is an 80s TV critique, best to be in the right headspace if you plan on watching it.

You made a great choice of distro for media creation.

Some background information and other options are below.

–//–

Ubuntu studio is a distro targeted at creatives(audio, visual).

Ubuntu is touted as a ‘high ease of use’ distro, but as a company, it is a user-data collector and advertising injector.

For a similar audio/visual targeted distro, but one that is free/libre and includes no spyware or tracking, you could try Dynebolic.

Can be booted as a LiveUSB (or LiveDVD) to test.

* NB. Any hardware connected to your PC, that needs proprietary drivers, will probably not work because those drivers are not included in any Libre Distros.

Also NB, Dynebolic is made by friendly, neighborhood, activist, Rastafarians.

Eraserhead vibes.

Hey thanks :v)

This looks and sounds like it could be the one.

It might have been 1997+ when I read it.

Trying to find the author-story list now.

Edit: May not be the same book, not sure yet without reading each story. May have been more blue background on the cover, and seemed more ‘pulp unknowns’ rather than ‘seminal horror anthology’ level. Could have remembered Dread from Books of Blood.

Was it a Barbapapa book.

A short-story compilation, horror book that had a blue cover with the names of all the authors down one side of the cover.

The well-written, but particularly disturbing story was about a girl street waif, who had been found by a man on his doorstep. She had an injury and he nursed her back to health(then the rest of the story happened, which contains spoilers). Very descriptive medical assistance passages.

I kind of think Dread by Clive Barker may have been one of the other stories included, but that is possibly misremembered.

Read circa 1994.

Yes, I’ve run Trisquel on all house devices for 10-12 years, plus libreboot.

Other commenters are correct, plenty of hardware will not function at all without its proprietary blobs. Frustrating at first, but then good riddance once you find libre alternatives.

For new hardware purchases you can follow what hardware various online hardware retailers are using, such as:

minifree.org

vikings.net

thinkpenguin.com

Or trawl through h-node.org to decipher what may work.

This trims out all the proprietary fluff real quick, both software and hardware. Backdoor vectors from obfuscated-blobs are removed.

Trimmed out a ton of games too. No big loss. Initially thinking there was no way to live without X-proprietary game, but there is.

Many people have jobs that are tied to particular proprietary packages. Can run those contained in a virtual-machine or on a box other than your daily.

Proprietary software may or may not be brainrot, make your own conclusions, but I am calmer and sleep better these days.

I’ve met Stallman, Linus, and Wales, and they are shining a light to show a realistic path to a more open future. I support and use that each day.

Skip the FUD and all the best.

Yes!

I was going to go through the Wikimedia stereograms. Thanks for the direct link, and a ton more. (c:
