He said nay, this was not the sweet soul fulfilling harmony of cherubim, but only admiration of it's greatness. He proclaimed unto them that he couldn't remember the greatest psalm in the world, that his words then and there was but a tribute.
All of them have premium prices, but not a single one of them freemium, or always-online, meaning you get what you pay for and what you pay for is high quality software.
Presonus if you need a pro tracker, or even the chance at mixing Atmos on Linux (though the hardware needs to be supported OS-side of things).
Mixbus 32C is cool, because it's EQ's and compressors are analogue modelled after their classic console. They got that real nice vintage sound.
Bitwig is basically a mixer/sequencer DAW, meant for electronic music and live performances.
Now if only Ableton Live could be ported to Linux :( pretty please?
Just get a cheap domain. Free domain will always get flagged, unless it's for a service with no development API. It's too easy as an attack vector, so those free domains often get flagged. If you want to avoid it all together, just get a cheap domain you own and control.
Sad news about SiFive lately :/ all but the founding members got cut. We'll see where that goes...
But yes, RISC-V getting better and more performant is a net gain. I'm thinking that open firmware will be the future battleground of liberation movements.
"Listen, you can't have open firmware, because manufacturers want to give you secret sauce security, and also authorities need to catch terrorists and pedophiles... see, they are evil and-" sush.. let me have my long lasting, open firmware system. I want it, I want it NAO!!
Trek writers have historically been on the frontlines regarding normalising certain character roles that weren't acceptable for the time. But, you have to remember.. they needed to deal with execs.
They also needed to make the point blatantly clear sometimes, like with Pike in the 60s... Like just warning the viewer and the execs: "yes, this is how we do things now, get used to it. Interracial kissing, criticising racism, criticising nationalism, the whole shebang." Questioning gender roles has historically been hard, but Trek shows have been on the front lines and managed to bring stories to the table that couldn't be cut, which meant having to frame things accordingly. But not every fight lead to victory.
There's still speculation about whether Garek from DS9 was supposed to be homosexual. Yes, that's right, they wanted to ship Garek and Bashir. Gashir? Barek? Anyways. It was supposedly pushed back on and the writers again had to choose which hill to die on, which in the case of DS9 was desperately trying to avoid the whole syndication samba.
The first seasons doesn't really solidify any character traits fully because I think they were still in disputes with how to proceed. Most likely Garek being as vague in his sexuality as possible was a big, fat "maybe" dangling in front of the show runners. It also helped that his role was very secretive by default, so it wouldn't stand out as anything weird.
Just be thankful that there are writers who really care for the artform of writing, who every day tread that line, trying to shed some light on subjects that might make some people uncomfortable and doing it in a way that's palpable as well as marketable.
There's no wonder writers are striking though. It truly is a thankless job. They do so much to get good ideas on paper and in the hands of directors, and even the teams them selves have to punch upwards all the time. It's apart of the fundamental process of production that usually escapes the ire of the general public. It's a struggle and a half.
To then talk shit about the writers for how they did things in the 60s shows 0% knowledge of what it meant to be a writer at that time, or indeed at any time. Perhaps watching S06E13 of DS9 ("Far beyond the stars") would remind him of how writers have been consistently screwed throughout the ages...
...I'll end this by saying JAVERT- I mean -SISKO DID NOTHING WRONG!!!!
Much like the open source movement before it, the open hardware movement will have a slow crawl to a bare victory.
It'll first be used a lot by labs, embedded applications and general infrastructure, far away from the consumer space with only a little bit of overlap.
Then, hopefully, some new Apple-like company manages to slam dunk their presentation and introduction to market, effectively disrupting the market - in a good way.
Follow me for more hopeful divining. We'll have the shaking of sticks, a dead goat boy and symbols written in the floor.
I'd like to call if expiration date roulette.
