East Cleveland is an interesting place for sure. I have a client there and it’s definitely not in great shape. Their city government is definitely failing them in a big way, and they are also heavily impacted by the issue with suburbs in regards to tax revenue that much of metropolitan Cleveland has had to deal with. For those reading who aren’t up to speed on things, the city of Cleveland, by total landmass, is pretty small. Cuyahoga county itself is composed of 38 cities, 19 villages, and two townships which means that a lot of different areas grant themselves their own individual tax laws and guess what, they all feel like they are paying too much in taxes. So, they decide themselves that they get lower taxes, problem is, the tax revenue required has not actually decreased at all, in fact, by creating a new local government you have now increased the operating costs of your area. So really by having people move into these smaller suburbs you have really just created special groups of individuals who are wealthier, are a greater stress on county resources, and choose to pay less in taxes essentially bleeding the community dry. If you were to pull up a map of Cuyahoga county you will actually get a pretty good laugh. East Cleveland itself is the only outlier in this situation and it exists itself in a very complicated and sad situation that involves redlining, systemic racism, corporate greed and lack of regulation. Ironically its borders are surrounded by some of the wealthiest communities in the state.
Honestly the part that makes me the most upset about the situation is just how easy it is to solve.
Maybe I’m missing something, what does this advocacy group stand to benefit from banning pitbulls? The NRA is backed by weapons manufacturers. This seems to be people who actually see a problem and are taking actions to help protect people.

What are the main differences between pipewire and pulseaudio? Which one is better? What are other alternative popular sound servers besides these two?
Fewer kernel calls between hardware and software for loerw latency processing of audio is a must, there is a minimum amount of latency you can have with audio for anyone performing and that’s debated by a total round trip time frame. From the second someone plays a note on say a guitar to the moment the resulting sound comes out of their speakers and into their ears is rather critical for timing.
Trouble is to do most anything with digital audio you require a buffer (here we add more latency) so that we can do the things we need to. Your audio device will have it’s own buffer (and in the case of ALSA and Linux) your operating system will implement what’s considered an audio “server” which will add is own buffer to route to whatever you are thinking you need to do and blah blah so on so forth. HAL drivers like ASIO mean you have much higher stability and much lower latency as you now have fewer buffers which is less added latency, fewer interruptus to deal with, and everything just kinda works in harmony. If you want to learn more consider first learning what ALSA is or any of the terms I originally used. I suggested starting with the wiki page where all of this is already explained
I don’t think it’s entirely necessary to explain the entire topic in a simple lemmy comment about something that is so easy to search for and learn about.
I don’t know how you got so confused about this. Noting I said was incorrect to begin with you just love of made your own nonsense explanation for everything. I suggest doing some research on the subject. YIKES! Lemmy dunnings strike again
ASIO is not an audio server running in exclusive mode. I mean just there, that alone makes me understand you completely have no idea what you are talking about, the rest of the gibberish you spewed here is funny but that’s the biggest red flag. Thank you my guy, for deciding not to research anything about this subject then write a nice long comment attempting to make my look like an idiot while doing no research at all and wasting my time and the time of anyone else reading here and making an attempt to worsen the Linux community in doing so. Bravo, thank you so much
That’s still not direct hardware, if you think you cracked the code then by all means show everyone otherwise, this would be a huge deal for a lot of people
Let the manufacturer know they need to update their driver’s when you find new ones. They should be doing that automatically or they may have a reason they aren’t pushing them to windows update
Everyone has something they can’t stop themselves from nerding out over - but often it’s hard to find people to talk to about it. So go ahead, share your interests, and tell us about them!
Digital mixers. I know a lot of people who use them and know them but very few know how they work internally which is fascinating and interesting and the only people who do are under NDA’s
No surprises here. Just like the lockdown on iPhone screen and part replacements, Macbooks suffer from the same Apple’s anti-repair and anti-consumer bullshit. Battery glued, ssd soldered in and can’t even swap parts with other official parts. 6000$ laptop and you don’t even own it.
Windows has pretty great high dpi, Apple privacy is pretty awful and they hide everything they are doing, security is definitely getting worse on MacOS while the opposite is the case on Windows. And Apple still doesn’t super touchscreen which is an immediate deal breaker
I guess if you’ve only played with it briefly you could feel that way but it’s really not the case, especially when you consider convertibles. Fingerprints on the screen are no more of an issue on a laptop as they would be on your phone obviously. Apples only point for not supporting touchscreen doesn’t actually have anything to do with any of those factors actually, their reasoning is only related to maximizing revenue from the iPad as a convertible laptop well replace the need for a tablet. I mean you can stand around and say touchscreens are bad and uncomfortable but there is a reason they are so popular and used so commonly.
Nobody is forcing you to use sync, hell nobody is even asking you to try it. So why not stop being one of the spiteful angry assholes that is driving people away from Lemmy.
He doesn’t say he has minimal telemetry, he actually says it’s a brand new laptop (from manufacturer) out of the box with nothing installed. What we are referring to above is with telemetry disabled in oobe.

It appears there is. They are using it to determine an areas general feelings are towards a US military presence in an area (whether the local population feels they need help from the US or not) as a means of helping to determine best locations for setting up garrisons and bases or whatever during a conflict. Which makes sense as you don’t want to choose an area that really doesn’t want you there as they likely become an asset to the enemy and put your soldiers at risk.
To be fair, had he lived longer then he would have received a Nobel prize for his work in astro physics in relation to gravitational collapse. This work would later become far more important than his other work as his contributions would lead to the discovery of black holes
Careful, it’s only been about a week since they purged all the apple bots, they were down to about 12 from the original 35,000 but now it’s back up to 15,000.
Sensational title but most people have been asking for this change. Also not sure why it’s upsetting. I’m guessing the Apple bots that got purged have found a new home?
Intel mac’s bought a couple years ago soon won’t be able to upgrade to the latest MacOS version, this same thing happened when they switched from PPC to Intel. On the other hand you can install Windows 10 on a pentium 2 and hell, of you could figure out a way to get tpm 2 to work you might be able to get 11 going. Some Linux distros with modern kernels only recently dropped support for PPC. Point being Apple ended support intentionally as they just don’t give a shit about their customers, their only interest is in money.
Yes, I have installed Windows 10 and 11 on ARM v7. Infact Windows CE was running on arm processors for a good long time with continued support. Windows hasn’t dropped support for any processors at all to my knowledge. Windows 11 required TPM2 but that’s not a processor. Your motherboard is the determining factor there, you can actually buy a TPM module for pretty dang cheap. Considering most PC manufacturers have had TPM on their systems used for a while it’s not a large factor. Those most impacted were people who did custom built systems and bought cheap motherboards. I actually mentioned this is my original comment but… Here we are I guess.
Hey , so you need to add REAPER to the audio editing list here, even if you feel a need to put an asterisk next to it. Development is extremely open and advanced. Really the only reason it’s not foss is because it was built on using elastique which is proprietary. The developer lead dev (Justin Frankel) is a very outspoken advocate for foss and has a plethora of open source software available. And to add to this REAPER is the most advanced, efficient, and full featured option in the entire world of audio software so it should be a real point of pride for the community and I’m sure if you asked any of the devs who develop the other audio programs on the list, they would say the exact same thing.
