If you're getting fooled by Trump in 2025 it's all on you there's absolutely no excuse to trust a word. I could have said the same thing 20 years ago too.

Blah blah keep the military industrial complex fat and rich with these charades while thousands of innocent people suffer and die.

The market has spoken, stop propping up dying companies with billions of our dollars just to save their executives and shareholders.

The Amazon FC nearest me was previously CONSTANTLY hiring due to the turnover rate but now they haven't been for some time. I worked there for three years and we all suspected it was only a matter of time before most of those jobs were automated.

Thanks for the report, I just got basically forced to install the new 16 update after a week of swiping it away so I'll have to get going on that, I'm so tired of digging through the settings after every update to check every one to turn off all the tracking, suggestions, etc. If those even do anything. Whack a mole.

Do they have to give some fucking stupid name to everything like some 5 year olds? I can't stand we have the shittiest, dumbest people in charge.

I'm not a huge phone user to begin with so thats fine as long as I can change some colors here and there, I prefer less fancy tbh for instance I like the i386-dark theme here.

Thanks, interestingly Garuda was at the top of my list but maybe I'll just stick to Mint and not be fancy. Bitwig always interested me and if I decided to go back to a DAW I'm definitely taking a second look because I have a tracker background from way back and the modularity and easy hardware integration look great. I'm not too concerned about the plugins so much as the hardware now, there is no official support for the Black Lion audio interface I bought but I'm assured it should work fine under ALSA and as I'm currently only needing it to record a stereo pair it should be fine. The plugins I use now are mainly compressors and EQs for some final mixing and "mastering" and there seems to be a decent amount of choices now for native plugins in those areas but I do have some favs I might need to bring over so I will check Yabridge. Look forward to getting my hands dirty again, hacking windows has just becoming getting rid of nuisances instead of customizing my computing experience.

Yeah in other words they mean they can use AI to squeeze every last drop of productivity out of a person.

I will definitely give it a whirl, I also need to eventually switch my desktop to Linux as I'm still in W10, I used a lot of audio plugins (VST) that had no Linux versions but now I'm mostly hardware based. I just worry that there comes a time when it's nigh on impossible to install an alternate OS on a phone but I suppose there will always be people trying to find a way.

I love how this demand is completely industry driven, just push push push. Some real market capitalism in action, so beautiful. /s

I will definitely give it a shot, I've loaded an alternate OS on a phone before but it was more about customization then. Hopefully there will continue to be options like this for people who prefer to use their own brain and don't mind pressing buttons instead of giving voice commands. I don't want to talk to inanimate objects I talk to myself enough.
