I’m not a commodity, I’m not a product, don’t trade my shit. Simple as that.

A part of that is due to the fact that you now only have one company to worry about collecting data, rather than both the manufacturer(think Samsung) and then Google too.

They also play the best with options like Grapheneos or Calyxos

If you don’t have immediate obligations such as kids, older, or sick family members/friends.

The industry is full of crap but I went from food service to driving a semi. 4 week school paid for by the company(after signing a 1yr contract) do that one year knowing it’s going to suck and then find something local you like or stay on the road and do online school/self study. Most all of the big US based companies have partnered with online colleges to heavily discount the cost.

I did it as an emergency to save for a year and get out but ended up liking it and now work in safety with no school, just experience.

You can set up a keyboard shortcut, which runs off the terminal commands, then you’re always using it but not using it, also

Nice widget and to-do list!

Working for me (liftoff)

Went from FL Studio and a lot of windows only vsts to using Reaper in Fedora and some good FOSS plugins plus “Vital” and " decent sampler". Definitely changed up my workflow but feels better at the same time. I’ll still open FL in “bottles”(compatibility program) to use some of the native cats in there but I don’t even mess with yahbridge to make my paid windows vsts work. Just changed up the flow mostly.

Edit: vsts kept autocorrectung to cats, kept one in.

Haha it is, I saw them in a sports store and had to grab em for the meme. I’ll test em tomorrow at work.

Oh, that’s her default mode for sure!

Oh absolutely. I’d argue they were barely in touch with their humanity in the first place. How else can you accumulate that much wealth off the backs of others without stopping and saying to yourself, “who have I become”.
