Gotta keep the voters believing the US is the best at everything.

In the UK at least this is absolutely as bad as the n word and is much more common. Racism is a bit different here and the vocal racists tend to target people from an Asian descent more than other races.

Sometimes Ardour. I use a neural amp modeller made by the guitarix dev (can’t remember if this is the exact name) along with files from tone3000. LSP plugins, Vital synth, and a bunch of other plugins. I’ve been looking at opendaw which recently added tone3000 support which is pretty cool but it didn’t really replace bitwig for me, interesting tool for collabs though.

Can that use the existing config and database?

The problem is there is more than one branch of it happening at once. We have this stuff but we also have the far right politics which is much more blatant. What most of those morons don’t understand is that their movement is driving the justification for these overbearing technology changes yet are the first ones to cry about it.

British colonialism shaped the wide use of English throughout the world a lot more than anything to do with the US.

Beets is definitely the way, the tagging it creates works really well with Symphonium.

Something tells me you don’t get much “clout” online.

The large portion of people are stupid and ignorant, which means that democracy is inherently flawed because they can be manipulated so easily.

Not quite that extreme where I am but it is being thrust into any kind of strategy scenario with absolutely nothing to back it up. They are desperate to incorporate.

Another factor, albeit a smaller one, is that not everyone wants to move away from them. I have a friend who loves his classic cars and feels threatened by the thought that alternative methods would take away his biggest joy in life. There is also the practicality aspect - I don’t drive but if I were to buy an electric car I have no idea where I would charge it, there’s not that much of an infrastructure for it that I’ve seen near me.

Not sure how you think you will trick them but good luck with that.

Well I guess I don’t have a particular or consistent system but I can find what I need pretty quickly. I have a few tab groups for stuff like youtube, bandcamp which helps a lot, and I use Simple Tab Groups in firefox which has been amazing (but I’ve only been using one group/window so this is kind of defunct now), but otherwise there are areas of tabs which are related and they are roughly in chronological order. I will manually move tabs so there are areas of certain topics. I know I can scroll all the way to the right for old tabs, and then left of that a specific topic I was learning about at that time, then left of that something roughly related by topic or time, and so on until all the way to the left is the most recent tabs (and then a bunch of pinned tabs that I use very often). It’s like a map of time and topic, and not just a bunch of random tabs like you might imagine.

I tried gfx.webrender.layer-compositor on linux and it actually made things a lot worse for me. Youtube took longer to load and sometimes didn’t load correctly leading to the page having to be refreshed before it would respond.

Bold of you assume that it is not being used.

The point is that it may look like a mess to you but that doesn’t mean it is objectively a mess. Hundreds of open tabs can still have logic and organisation even if that is not obvious to you.

Because the whole world is America, right?

Shockingly, some people function differently to you.

Yes, and?

It probably is functionally not too different. I have the bookmark bar open but I mostly have all the sites I regularly go to there. Additionally, I have thousands of bookmarks from many years so wading through them for something I briefly saw and was interested in last week but can’t remember enough detail on to find isn’t very fun or easy. And where do I look for it? One bookmark could be categorised in many ways so I also have to remember where I saved it. Tags are good but I have too many for that to be very useful or quick.

I do use grouping as well, and I really like it, but this just causes me to have even more tabs because there is less pressure to trim down the endless list since I can hide them.
