  “Looking Glass does not support audio routing. The preferred solution is to pass through QEMU’s audio to your host’s audio system.”

  That eliminates Ableton ofc (because that pushes you out of the vm for audio and then you have to deal with additional jank and you’re back to dealing with your Linux distro for better or for worse.

  Premiere pro that could work though of course for audio you’re also back to square one.

  Ok so when you’re talking about xmpp as a discord alternative, basically movim is kind of what people should be paying attention to.

  I’ll def check that out. I am also passively observing progress on stoat.

  And no trigger discipline at all on that sudo. That’s criminal negligence.

  Is this some kind of rm -rf / hostage situation?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨(XMPP Setup Guide) Discord Was Never the End Game - TonyBTW⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  Now this is a question: how far can you get with xmpp? Could you build an interface on top of it to look exactly like discord with all of it’s functions? Or does something like that already exist?

  My first instinct with these older protocols is that there’s no way they could support 10 people in a voice call with concurrent camera streams and 3 screen captures. I’m genuinely curious how far xmpp goes.

  Man if they figure out stable alternatives to Premiere Pro and Ableton I’m on board, but for now all of that is not easy to do and the setup can be extremely janky.

  I’m talking actually usable, not “it runs”.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is spreading.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  Adding to that, drivers are basically a non-issue in 99% of the cases by now. Linux has really outdone themselves on that.

  Case and point, I plugged in an audio interface into Linux after installing a DAW and pipewire and it just worked out of the box.

  Because the people make the platform, and not the functions, and for lots of people you need a lower entry barrier, and the entry barrier for both of those is a good bit higher than fluxer.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[NSQ] What are you actually looking forward to this year?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:
  • a new job
  • more news about the downfall of Trump’s administration
  • me making more music (and collabs)
  • making and playing on a new Minecraft modded server again
  • watching closely to see if the matrix protocol becomes more widely adopted against censorship
  • some PC parts becoming cheaper because of China’s more competitive industries (not gonna be ram prices though)
  • buying and testing hytale
  • broader adoption of Linux, specifically how well different government entities of different countries can establish work processes in it
  • sensible AI regulation regarding specifically defamation and identity theft
  • more competition in various industries
  • maybe some kind of resolve in the Ukraine war?
  • new anime series & movies

  Here’s some things (sorry for the little bit of orphan crushing machine in the middle)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How are locks and keys mass produced?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  McNally v Proven Locks

  Is probably what you’re talking about. And apparently Proven Locks is mostly a shit show with one ok product and full of “hurrdurr American patriot” marketing.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If I took antidepressants for my Weltschmerz (world-weariness)... would I become a worse artist?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Sometimes it’s hard to start a new art project. Creative restraint can be really helpful. Example: starting a song with only live recorded samples, or painting a picture with only 5 colors, or writing something from the perspective of an animal.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If I took antidepressants for my Weltschmerz (world-weariness)... would I become a worse artist?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I think it might, but let me explain why I don’t think it’s that bad: whenever you change your habits, you will notice a difference to your mood and day-to-day headspace.

  Antidepressants also change your habits, and thus they change what you think about, when you can be creative, and how you create.

  I used to be scared that I would “lose the spark” over time when my habits changed drastically or when I took breaks from my craft, and I still am, but I can tell you in 8 years I’ve always bounced back and I still do some cool things and other people like some of the things I do. It definitely changed, but I know I learn and grow and thus my experiences necessarily change anyway, and so change in inevitable. BUT: for now it hasn’t stopped me - sometimes I just need a little bit of a push.

  Honestly just see what it’s like and don’t get scared when your habits and thoughts change. Try to adapt to it and switch up your workflow if it absolutely won’t work. And don’t forget: you can always add restraints to kick-start your process. Best of luck and may your future art be beautiful as well:)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How can we convince Trump voters to NOT vote for Trump (or Vance) in the 2026 midterms and the 2028 election?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The more I look into trump the more I see someone with no introspection, incredibly low emotional intelligence and an extreme need for attention and acceptance. He is being profoundly primal in his goals but he goes to extreme lengths to preserve a way to them. This is why I completely agree with you. His goal is incredibly primitive: to keep being the center of attention. He knows he can’t keep all his avenues open because he is losing “loyalty” and supporters; in government but also in his voting populus. His goal will never be to specifically kill Americans but he sure as hell doesn’t mind risking their lives for other goals, and he will grip and claw to preserve as much power in government as he can, using basically every tactic under the sun.

  Roblox is so fucked up, this would at least be “some” hurdle. It’s the worst way to go about it, but at this point it’s better than nothing. I just hope this will not become standard. You know, for privacy reasons.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨People with no friends needs to get the fuck up over it⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I thought we were over this tough guy talk already.

  You can live a depressing life where you tell yourself any emotion towards your current situation is not to be shown otherwise you are weak and you need to be strong.

  Or you can also accept that life is complex, feelings are valid, we are social creatures, real mental health means being vulnerable and the strongest people are the ones that can be vulnerable.

  You are complaining because people are vulnerable. You know what? That’s the most respectable shit, to talk about deep fears and strong feelings on camera, while those people know there’s some easily irritable people like you out there who “can’t stand the weak”.

  I had so many opportunities in my life to become numb, choose to suck it up, never talk about things, maybe become violent or insane, but the hardest and most sensible choice was always to be vulnerable, and everyone who doesn’t have the guts to choose that is a different kind of weak. And because I am not like you I don’t hate weak people, I listen to them, I learn from them and help them improve likewise.

  TL;DR that is one of the most ignorant takes I’ve heard in a while.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Throw the baby out with the bathwater⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I empathize with that argument because it is reminiscent of family, but I still think some people need spirituality for their mental health. Turns out, when you think the world is less chaotic and more sorted out, it’s less exhausting to think about.

  I get that it’s dangerous but especially in territories stricken with poverty you get swaths of people turning to religion, and I genuinely believe that’s because everyone wants to cling to something. And at some point I really do believe to live and let live. Specifically, when we don’t know for certain, why not let people speculate?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Throw the baby out with the bathwater⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Science is for things we can prove, religion is for things we want to believe.

  Why not use science when possible and religion when needed?

  Everyone is free to believe in the funny old man controlling us and still accept that atoms exist.

  These things are not mutually exclusive. And if they are to you, that’s probably because you’re a dick about it.

  Still bad though. What a sad story to a game with such potential. Really irks me.

  So Happy you are playing this. Absolutely underrated game.

  Unfortunately it changed so much that plays very different than it used to - it’s way more story now and I liked how open it was before.
