Wow, thank you for the guide. I will try it out as soon as I can.

I truly do not generate that much stuff either. I am also not that precious with stuff I do make. I ak pretty sure I have a smaller SSD I can copy the image to, so no spending extra.

Yeah, there is a pervasive "wrongness" to it that I just could not stand, like I took off my front door or something.

Yes, I know loading VSTs are possible, I just need to figure out how.

Dualbooting with separate harddrives will probably be my solution.

Never heard of Photopea! I will check it out. GIMP sucks at text boxes for some reason, and honestly is kind of unacceptable the way it handles it.

This is solid. I am so happy for this advice, never heard of Yabridge. I am willing to mess around if it actually means I can use my plugins with Linux!

Delisting should be a crime.

Nope, I am starting to see software like books. Maybe the author has more to say, but barring any grammatical or logical errors, they are basically evergreen.

Using Windows made me appreciate Linux harder than I ever have. Windows just feels gross now.

I will try syncthing. I don't actually want cloud storage, I just want to be able to mirror files to my different computers for easy access without messing about using flashdrives or bluetooth.

I will check it out! I do enjoy the redundancy of local copies, which is why OneDrive sucked.

Yes. The cost is reasonable, and think it is worth it!

Right now I am using Tracktion Waveform, but I do not love it.

I am looking at Reaper, and I do like the workflow, but the way it loads plugins puts me off. Not horrible, I just need to do extra work to make it work.

That is what I am starting to realize. Every paid program that I used to desire is now subscription based.

Also, I am coming to terms with how truly powerful FOSS programs are. People seem to pay for the workflow, the user interface, more than the capabilities. At least I feel that way with DAWs. Ardour does everything. Vital makes every sound. I can be happy with that. I need to focus on making music.

I get that. I mean, WINE has gone a long way, but it is not perfect. I think I need to buy an SSD just for Windows, and that would be ideal.

I think I started using Linux way before that. I think I was just curious about whether I was missing anything. I really am not!

My family pays for all the major services... but honestly I stopped watching. It is just waaaayyy to much stuff to care about.

I decided that I will only subscribe to things that are unique and have yearly subscriptions. So, that means Criterion Channel, Shudder, Dropout, and Nebula. As a student I get a discount for some of these, and I am paying Youtube Premium because as much Google sucks, YouTube is like UNESCO world heritage sight. Infinite value and priceless.

Somehow I trust Opera and Microsoft over Brave as this point.

What a world.

I have tried to go back to Mastodon, but I have not found an instance that makes me care enough.

Proxmox is awesome. Sort of the answer to most of my server wants.

In principle, anthropologically speaking, the depth and breadth of data that has been collected is at its face outstanding and valuable. The full range of human experience is documented. What can be learned if it were studied would perhaps help save the world.

Unfortunately, that "public" data is only available to the companies that harvest and buy it, not to the world at large. Not unless you are already in the shit that is collecting information on you

To echo what other people have said, any benefits of public data is immediately squashed by the heinous abuse of power that comes from not protecting privacy.

Information is freely given by those who care about the world and want to see it improve. No need to take away human rights for that.
