  Yeah the only change here is room for plausible deniability. There will still be regular meetings between the companies, just not in the “board room”. As if that matters.

  Libs trying to teach history before learning it themselves. Iconic.

  I played through both back when I was a kid. Definitely one of the best experiences on the game boy color.

  They’re installing this hate for liberals both in tankies…

  Man I didn’t realize Phil Oches was a Russian agent. Leftist criticism of liberal hypocrisy is nothing new, just new to you.

  non-walkable city.

  If the city is built ass backwards it would be a better investment to address that than start mining resources on the moon. Idk that’s just me though.

  Will I get to choose between two candidates that support genocide in 2028? Oh boy!

  Crazy you think ignoring genocide is the counter to fascism.

  It’s like you didn’t read either of thr articles I linked to.

  Strawman to finish things off nice!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨‘There wasn’t enough about the horror’: Hiroshima survivors react to Oppenheimer⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  So you acknowledge that public dissent had violent repercussions, but that somehow equates that all civilians were willing supporters and valid targets? That’s an amazing display of doublethink. Paired with the ad hominem, you’ve shown yourself completely impotent.

  Are you a willing and eager subject to the current genocide being funded with your taxpayer dollars?

  but it was always ever going to end the way it did, if not a lot worse.

  This takeaway is mythologization of America’s most reprehensible act.

  While a majority of Americans may not be familiar with this history, the National Museum of the U.S. Navy in Washington, D.C., states unambiguously on a plaque with its atomic bomb exhibit: “The vast destruction wreaked by the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki and the loss of 135,000 people made little impact on the Japanese military. However, the Soviet invasion of Manchuria … changed their minds.”

  The principal argument mounted to justify the use of atomic bombs — that they would quickly end the war and avoid an invasion that could result in as many as one million casualties — doesn’t hold much weight. Instead, historical evidence more strongly indicates America’s desire to circumvent the need for negotiations with the Soviet Union over the future of East Asia. The Potsdam Conference, held by Allied leadership in the summer of 1945, aimed to determine the postwar settlement in Europe. The United States did not want to be forced into similar negotiations — with the Soviets at the table — for the postwar settlement of the Pacific.

  We murdered 210,000 civilians because of a perceived threat to capitalism.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Jeffrey Epstein's Island Visitors Exposed by Data Broker⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Nah the calls for privacy is because the same cell data that tracks the pedophiles also contains data that could track the victims.

  While many of the coordinates captured by Near point to multimillion-dollar homes in numerous US states, others point to lower-income areas where Epstein victims are known to have lived and attended school, including areas of West Palm Beach, Florida, where police and a private investigator say they located around 40 of Epstein’s victims. "Most of the clients who come to me, their number one concern is privacy and safety,” says attorney Lisa Bloom, who represented 11 of Epstein’s alleged victims. “It’s deeply concerning to think that any sexual abuse victims’ location will be tracked and then stored and then sold to someone, who can presumably do whatever they want with it.”

  In a game including magic you can’t suspend some disbelief for a gameified representation. Yikes.

  I was looking at it and it’s the only correct answer. Those are the only bands from that era that I go back to for more than just a nostalgia hit.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Audacity adds AI audio editing capabilities thanks to free Intel OpenVINO plugins⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s awesome!

  I learned DAWs with ProTools back around 2006 in college. Dropped out because I didn’t want to enter a competitive trade where my best opportunities were moving out of state.

  Got sucked into another industry and haven’t touched much audio for the past decade. Getting back into it now and started on Audacity but the 2021 buyout had me confused where to land with the Tenacity split. the good/bad of open source I suppose but as a user being in the middle of a split was frustrating and detracting from recording. Finding out about Reaper and talking to people leaving ProTools behind even within the industry was just what I needed when I needed it.

  My daughter (11yo) is now getting into DAWs as her current goal is to score an internship at KEXP, being able to share with her all the stuff I learned in school has been so much fun.

  Well written and glad to see professional outlets sharing there experience with Activity Pub.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Audacity adds AI audio editing capabilities thanks to free Intel OpenVINO plugins⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Audacity is a great learning tool for intro absolutely! When you’re just dipping your toes into recording editing free and $60 is a huge difference.

  I feel like users that are going to be using any of the features of this plug-in, you’re probably at the point that going to Reaper makes sense.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Audacity adds AI audio editing capabilities thanks to free Intel OpenVINO plugins⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Audacity just does seem worth the trouble after discovering Reaper and how powerful it is for only $60.
