I couldn’t find a source for this, but I heard that we were convinced to think of dandelions as weeds by the makers of a herbicide so that we would accept the collateral damage.
I’ve had a set of those circulating through the family for well over a decade. But, they don’t sound all that great.
Fort the same budget, I’d recommend instead to buy a higher quality pair of bookshelf speakers that you would actually enjoy using fort the rest of your life.
I also made a YSK post recently to explain how to objectively identify good speakers.
“The team at Re-Logic has been watching the recent events surrounding Unity with both interest and sadness. The loss of a formerly-leading and user-friendly game engine to the darker forces that negatively impact so much of the gaming industry has left us dismayed to put it mildly. While we do not personally use Unity (outside of a few elements on our console/mobile platforms), we feel like we cannot sit idly by as these predatory moves are made against studios everywhere.
We unequivocally condemn and reject the recent TOS/fee changes proposed by Unity and the underhanded way they were rolled out. The flippant manner with which years of trust cultivated by Unity were cast aside for yet another way to squeeze publishers, studios, and gamers is the saddest part. That this move was wholly unnecessary pushes things into the tragedy category - a cautionary tale the industry will not soon forget.
We do not feel that a simple public statement is sufficient. Even if Unity were to recant their policies and statements, the destruction of trust is not so easily repaired. We strongly feel that it is now equally important to get behind some of the other up-and-coming open source game engines. Lighting some candles in an otherwise dark moment.
To that end, we are donating $100,000 to each of the open source engines listed below [Godot and FNA]. Additionally, we are sponsoring each of these projects with $1,000/month each moving forward. All we ask in return is that they remain good people and keep doing all that they can to make these engines powerful and approachable for developers everywhere.
Re-Logic has always been supportive of game developers and indie studios that do things the right way. We feel that our actions in this moment are the best way to carry that mission forward - by accelerating and strengthening competing open source game engines, we hope to empower and assist studios that are struggling with how best to proceed given these recent events.”

I stopped using Spotify after I noticed that a song’s share URL contains unique tracking elements. Then they started trying to lock down the podcast market, which reaffirms that leaving was the right choice.

No, it doesn’t. “Prevent harm online” is the same justification given for the EARN IT act. Only this new agency won’t be accountable to the people when it conjures the same deeply unpopular legislation.
Also, the FTC is already tasked with enforcing the points under the Competition heading.
I need a PDF editor to create internal hyperlinks in a document. I purchased a huge PDF and would like to be able to link internally to keep me from having to scroll or search the relevant data when needed.

Scribus is certainly powerful. You can also use python scripting to automate edits, so maybe you could even use regular expressions in a script to automatically insert hyperlinks.

Exactly. This was always a trivial performance difference, but the toggle was added just to satisfy anyone who might hear such a statement and be unreasonably concerned.
