Audbol,

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.

Audbol,

They still don’t have touchscreen support for MacOS. Windows added. Multi-touch sorry in the early 00’s. It’s absolute insanity

Audbol,
  1. Fingers won’t work with that many phalanges, if it were somehow possible it would require massive forearm muscles that would require a large larger carriage to support.
  2. It’s neck would be entirely incapable of supporting it’s head.
  3. They lack an opposable digit.
  4. So many of the bones lack any kind of rigid support. If this was a real creature it would likely be jelly flopping around.
  5. Mouth is fat too small to be useful and without teeth it would be impossible for it to consume any kind of nourishment to survive.
  6. Limbs seem like they are all of different sizes to each other and the arms and legs appear to be severed, I’m going to guess that someone was just cutting them off and not actually measuring while they made these things.
Audbol,

And it’s all very well cited. Makes sense why an advocacy group exists for this

Audbol,

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.

Audbol,

If research is determining otherwise then what would it take to convince you to accept this?

Audbol,

Thanks for telling me the same thing people have been parroting for an eternity. Check out Occam’s razor

Audbol,

Okay but what is the motive for them to do this. You are claiming malice but you aren’t providing a motive for said malice

Google Search, Whatsapp, and TikTok on list of 22 services targeted by EU’s tough new DMA (www.theverge.com)

The European Commission has published an official list of services offered by ‘gatekeepers’ that must comply with obligations under the new Digital Markets Act. Companies now have six months to comply with the rules.

Audbol,

Hope for MacOS not make the list? It’s probably the most gate kept thing that exists

Audbol,

Yes how, sorry I use Swype and I’m a moron. They are compounding issues

Audbol,

Like the small logo and the black and white logos seen above?

Audbol,

Why are you getting downvoted wtf is wrong with lemmy? Apple is literally the largest shittiest company in the world.

Audbol,

Audio engineer here. Anything ALSA inherently does not “get it right”. It’s time for Linux to get HAL audio drivers

Audbol,

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

Audbol,

I answered below, you can also read on any of the ALSA pages as well as the wiki page for it. Wealth of knowledge on the subject is available

Audbol,

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.

Audbol,

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

Audbol,

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

Audbol,

ASIO is still not an audio driver running in exclusive mode, my brother in Christ how do you not understand this

Audbol,

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

Audbol,

Nobody is

Audbol,

You must have the absolute most common computer setup ever.

Help me find am episode from an anthology series

I’m trying to find an episode from some anthology series (my brain wants to say masters of horror but that hasn’t helped). Either way it’s about Japanese people who live in an apartment complex and for some reason (ghost related) they couldn’t leave the apartment complex and it’s parking lot. It was an incredibly good...
