I don’t think you understand where US military power was coming from. It was not just the money, it was the ability to project that power easily (having bases in Europe, etc for example).

That was the ‘soft power’ everyone was talking about. Orange mongoloid had now destroyed that and I don’t think it’s coming back any time soon.

Everyone is basically letting idiots destroy themselves and watching their moves. There is nothing anyone else can do right now.

Except Chinese and Russians. They are rolling on the floor laughing…

What middle class? 🤔

We are certainly not playing the same game, then. All good.

Edit: so, finally back home and started the game. Main screen, after game loads has 0 references to MTX. Zero. Only and only when you go to STORE tab do you get to see anything. Or if you click on RAIDER TOKENS section in the top right. Nothing else, anywhere.

So while I love shitting on game devs, I prefer to do it for a good reason, and not based on lies. You might not like the prices and that’s perfectly ok, noone likes them.

But that does not equal “shoving MTX in your face”.

“Shoves MTX in your face like crazy” = skins in a STORE tab?

Yeah, don’t think I will continue the conversation.

What MTX are you talking about?

Incredible. We have reached the point where it feels safer buying a random Chinese phone than Samsung or other “big brands”.

Apparently, laws and you have something in common 🤔

Lol. It didn’t get anyone excited.

Few weeks ago I have noticed that my Presonus account is offering me to download Studio One Pro 7, in deb or flatpak format. I use Linux desktop for everything except audio work (still use Windows machine for that) so when I checked my Presonus account from Linux box I was quite shocked.

Sadly, attempt to upload the image from the phone (using Boost app) doesn’t work so I can’t upload and can’t be bothered to upload elsewhere then share URL, etc.

I couldn’t get bothered to try installing it earlier since I don’t want to run S1 on this box.

But just for the sake of it, I have now tried installing flatpak file and it completed.

I don’t use flatpak much but trying to do…

flatpak run com.presonus.studioapp7

… failed with “Failed to connect to Wayland display”.

I spent 0 seconds on reading about S1 Pro for Linux and have no intention to bother with it further but if you do use S1 on Windows you might have Linux download available as well. Give it a try if you are interested.

What exactly it requires to run, I have no idea.

But it is really surprising development.

Edit: hah, after i removed that flatpak i just installed, a notification popped up saying “Studio One is a Wayland application and won’t run in X11 session.”

Hahaha.

As opposed to supporting a country that… (fill in the blanks, there is an infinite supply)

Ah yes, of course, everyone is supporting Hamas. In your head, maybe.

What a nonsense.

CVE was used by thousands and thousands of security professionals and organizations, companies are just small part of it. Companies contributed a lot with their own research and vulnerabilities they found and reported into CVE. It was useful because it made it easier to categorize and catalogue vulnerabilities and it made everyone’s life easier. Not just companies’. It made it easier for Linux distros as well. And so on, and so on. Do Americana really think everything needs to be run as a company and for profit?

I guess we’ll now go back to the “good old days” of sharing bugs on Bugtraq.

I still can’t comprehend that Americans voted that idiot into White House. Again. Damage he is doing is out of this world and will only become apparent in years to come. Truly incredible.

It’s much better.

Choke on a dick, you stupid fucking cunt.

Tolerating intolerant cunts is what brought us here.

So, fuck you.

When was the last time YOU have “laundered money with crypto”?

Why don’t you do it and tell us how it goes?

You have to do serious KYC everywhere before you can even think of withdrawing cash (any serious amount). I know, i had to do few of these in past 18 months just to retain access to few largest exchanges. Bitcoin is not anonymous. On the contrary.

And if you think loundering is converting from BTC to XMR and buying drugs with it, well let’s just say that crypto has a very, very long way to go before it comes even remotely close to Dollar.

Republicans love $ too. So, a fraud scheme, yeah?

That is a truly simplistic way of looking at things. Don’t. I am as left as you can possibly be and yet I absolutely hope that bitcoin and blockchain tech would take off.

When I say blockchain tech, I don’t mean shiity scam coins, I mean “election data on an immutable public ledger” type of tech…

One can dream.

Rogue engineer strikes again.
