China is ahead of the US in many things.

Wow, it’s almost like these companies want to destroy themselves.

Narcissists always self report.

Baby shark do do do-do

Typical British tea. I’m British and definitely an outlier but the typical black tea with milk and sugar is revolting to me. I love green, oolong, some black, yellow, white etc though.

It would just get more subsidies than it already does.

Trump, amongst a few others, made it acceptable to have shitty and selfish opinions so all the people who used to be too ashamed to admit how they feel now feel justified and it’s snowballing. The far right were always there but now they can be that openly.

Many are told that they are above animals and that they are there to be used by us.

Vegan. Anything else and you’re just doing mental gymnastics.

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.
