Beavers have very yellow, almost orange/brown teeth. Why? Because they have a very high iron content coating to make them tougher, you know because cutting down trees.

This is an imposter Hollywood beaver.

As per my other comment - the algorithm is only part of it.

A big aspect however is the slickness and ease-of-onboarding for mega-Corp apps. It’s a thing that would relatively easy to begin work on.

I’ve seen first hand the amount of time and money even growth-stage startups spend on onboarding and have lots of first-hand reports from peers at the big girls - it’s a critical part of success. Make it easy to get started and easy to stay using.

It’s missing from most fediverse experiences. Pixelfed being a serious contender for an on-boarding rethink.

“time-to-value” - we want that as low as possible.

Mother would be proud.

That’s a shame irrespective of the drama. Asahi is surprisingly good. Installation is (relatively) straightforward.

I’ve got it on my primary laptop. I don’t use it frequently because battery life is poor compared to MacOS and I can’t use an external display but it’s an impressive achievement and I’m sure it will only get better. I haven’t used fedora in 20 years but it’s slick and easy and most of it just works. It looks just like my Linux workstation desktop.

Agreed.

For us the mitigation is to do a little monitoring with alerts set to start casually at 29 days out and enter critical 13 days out (out from expiry).

This is the position people are put in. I don’t see “just doing my job” from low wage workers as a total cop out because I think, in many cases, it translates to “I cannot lose this job.”

I am not American but Americans have been enslaved by having their wellbeing (healthcare) tied to employment (at least to some degree.)

It was a great episode and Americans should be proud that someone like AOC is sticking around and fighting at a time when it feels hopeless. (Am not American).

Personally I believe part of the problem is that corporate capture of our social interactions has effectively meant folks can’t get the word out and (sadly) they don’t realize it? Trying to organize on Facebook? That’s a mistake.

I’m not saying it’s what happened here but there’s a possibility it’s what’s going on more broadly. And by design.

Personally I’ve started building a tool (for the fediverse) to help make civil participation free of corporate interest. I’m sick of my town and local municipal services (and volunteer organizations) only posting to Facebook (and I’m not in the US!)

Existing tools are, in my opinion, not widely used and too clunky to appeal to those who’ve been lulled into using big-tech solutions.

Awesome. Thanks.

I hope I’m wrong but it looks like they disabled the ability to do opt into the program.

I cannot join my X1C to the program currently. It just errors out or leaves me in a CloudFlare “are you human” loop.

Up until this change you could install and root the firmware with Bambu’s permission.

One idea that crossed my mind is that the open(ish) firmware started to edge into future product territory.

Bambu’s pages for third party firmware are still up but seem to no longer work: (I tried today) https://bambulab.com/en-us/third-party-firmware/plan?ref=blog.bambulab.com

 

Longtime supporter (but rare user) of Ardour checking in. This incredible project is worthy of a look by anyone searching for an alternative to the DAW they’re using.

There is a discussion on Hacker News, but feel free to comment here as well.

 

While this is probably more interesting for a synthesizer community, Alex usually touches on how these instruments influence production and writing. Plus he's a brilliant musician in his own right.

And so, I thought it equally belongs here.

Hearing that opening line brings back so many memories.

 

It looks like the transition to a single company is underway.

This kind of monolithic beast isn't often musician friendly (look at what Waves tried recently). But, it also opens up the door for new players to make some headroom (har har).

It'll be interesting to see how the matrix of these products looks in a year's time.

 

It could be anything from tutorials, YouTube channels, plugins/software, anything goes for this first post.

One of the most recent things I've stumbled across recently was Baphometrix's Clip-to-zero series. While I don't work on music that needs to be competitively loud, the in-depth series helped provide a new perspective to incorporate into decades-old mixing habbits.

I also really appreciate the work Dan Worrall is doing these days: https://www.youtube.com/c/DanWorrall
