Like the other comments, you lost me at “designed” and somehow went even more downhill from there.

This is obvious trolling/ragebait.

Edit: reported to the mod team as this breaks Rule 5.

I don’t even get it and I’m really trying

What the hell is wrong with all of you? Command names obviously use - and not _

Can the universe handle two tech celebrity Linuses in the same room?

Right. I guess I consider that a relatively niche usecase. But on second thought I suppose it’s not that niche once you include hobbyist musicians and that kind of crowd.

I wanted to make the analogy of every tech YouTuber reviewing a laptop or non-high-end PC saying “you’re not going to be rendering long videos on this thing” as if that’s a relatable use case. No, YouTuber, that’s not something most people do on their computers! Most people probably never do it in their life, or only a handful of times ever.

But as I said upon more thought I realize that’s not the case with midi.

Maybe I’m missing something obvious but how often is midi used in modern days?

This is the idea of this song, which I love https://youtu.be/k7kSKU4cD-g

Edit: the song is Make Me Real by shemusic, in case the YouTube link is a problem for anyone. Available everywhere including Bandcamp.

Couldn’t remember it so I had to look it up. https://youtu.be/lMW58MiSLe0

Sounds like a rewatch is due!

On January 1, 2025, California’s daylighting law (AB 413) went into effect, making it illegal to park within 20 feet of crosswalks.

A bit horrified that this wasn’t the law already. Baby steps.

As for the marking: in my country (Israel) just about every curb is color coded to indicate things like this.

Red-white: no parking.

Blue-white: paid parking by the municipality.

Grey (unpainted): Free parking.

Black-white: No stopping for any reason. Used on traffic islands, mostly.

Forget the “legal” process (which is skipped). I wouldn’t be surprised if just the salaries of all the ICE officers and the cost of their operations is significantly more than $1000 per immigrant captured.

The cost of the flight is probably not really saved either because they have to physically deport the ones they’ve captured anyway.

And yet I still think it’s a trap. Call me a cynic.

Seconding the suggestion to start fresh. Make the old forum an archive, still readable but impossible to add or edit. If necessary, migrate it to a more lightweight system, perhaps one designed specifically for preserving old forum content (I don’t know if there is one, just spitballing here).

You really should give some thought to whether Lemmy is a good format for your community. Forums are very different from Lemmy.

I’m in the same boat. What I’d give to keep contact with my family without being forced to use the WhatsApp app.

Not American, ELI5?

I refuse to buy it until it costs more

Edit: I guess I could buy it both on PC and on Switch

This video about the history of IRC has been shared a bunch in the past few days: https://youtu.be/6UbKenFipjo

Worth a watch if you’re into this kinda thing.

Just out of curiosity: what do you need that the newer versions have but the version on Mint is missing?

@possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip okay, I won’t be vague. I’m from Israel. Not hiding it, you can find out pretty easily from my comment history.

And in case you wondered, yes, I find the genocide in Gaza abhorrent and unacceptable. This is not the place to talk about this though so let’s leave it at that.

Plot twist: Mimi is captivated, she loves this kind of tech stuff and also is facing the same kind of inconvenience with her own laptop so she could use it too.

Quite the opposite!

I’ve never seen ChromeOS. I think it’s just not a thing in my country.
