Music production is the only reason I still have a Windows installation on dual boot. My Ableton install and stack of VSTs is holding me back.

You definitely can do music production on Linux though. Bitwig is good and works natively.

The red scare? The war on terror? It’s a new type of crazy in government, I can’t deny that. But spreading fear of Them isn’t new.

Somebody cropped off the name False Knees from the bottom. Boo.

How did we get here? We’ve always been here. There have always been people warning about “they”. Some portion of them have always been otherwise intelligent.Some portion of them have even been correct. This isn’t a new phenomenon. It’s easier for conspiracy theories to spread now, with the internet, and that’s led to them being less fun and more dangerous, but it’s mostly just the same shit.

Interesting. From some googling it looks like America is a mix of both but leaning towards day-ta, whereas the other countries are more consistently as I said.

I have a British friend who now lives in Canada and works in tech and has changed the way he says it (from day-ta to dah-ta, or really more like dah-da) for convenience. I had thought that it was an Atlantic divide but seems like there’s more to it.

That is incorrect

Brits pronounce it day-ta, Americans, Canadians and Australians pronounce it dah-ta. Data pronounces it Day-ta.

Guess I was misinformed. Thanks for doing the legwork.

I have heard that the incidence of suicide is higher in deaf people then in blind people, which would suggest that, while our senses are sight dominated, losing our hearing has a bigger impact in some way. That said I can’t find a citation for that, so make of it what you will.

Last updated 7 years ago with a version of PHP that’s EoL now. Is this still relevant?

Yeah, it depends on if you view source

It’s both of those things

Nah Pratchett is “just because you understand it doesn’t stop it from being magic”

It’s actually pronounced “squirrel”

If there’s no point, why not have fun?
