Tracker music definitely had its day in computer games, and around the same time a lot of sample-based music was happening on video game consoles. There was just a pretty short amount of time for software or hardware sampling to shine befor

The video isn't complaining about MIDI. It's just saying that MIDI isn't suitable for MuseScore's specific use case (playing orchestral scores through virtual instruments), and since VST instruments use MIDI as an interf

That's pretty much the conclusion the video makes. The context here is playing scores with VST instruments, which use MIDI as an interface. The solution they found was to implement a new interface suitable to their needs and an orchest

Drinking moderate amounts of alcohol can be a great way to relax and socialize. Drinking all the time to get through the day can cause serious harm. There's no conflict between these positions.

GLP-1 agonists aren't stimulants and don't tend to cause this kind of side effect. Although I guess stomach cramps could cause bad posting.

It's only censorship if Twitter was being coerced into taking action on the accounts. Conveniently, Taibbi included evidence showing that Twitter made its own independent moderation decisions -- some accounts reported had already been

Taibbi said both campaigns sent in reports of content on Twitter that they claimed violated TOS. The tweets reported by the Biden campaign were clearly in violation of the TOS (they included leaked nude pictures). I don't know what the

The FBI passed along reports they received of possible violations of Twitter TOS (something we already knew they did), and the evidence is clear that they did not limit these reports to conservative accounts (something that has been claimed

The evidence he (and Bari Weiss) presented and his analysis of that evidence were not consistent with each other. Given the choice, I'm going to rely on the primary sources, not the guy who was handpicked to promote a particular agenda

He's shown occasional impulsive, destructive behavior in the past ("pedo guy", getting in trouble with the SEC) but he seems to have lost whatever handle he had on it.

The one good thing that's come out of Musk's ownership of Twitter is that we now have extensive public evidence that Twitter staff bent over backwards to maintain objective moderation standards even in the face of unprecedented ch

Yes, one detail often omitted here is that the same person operates trackers for other famous jet owners. Elon is only the focus now because he called attention to it.

The FBI reported tweets from Democrats as well as Republicans, and also apparently a parody of the pro wrestler The Undertaker where the joke is that he craps his pants regularly. Not seeing any evidence that there's any political bias

This is incorrect. The "handled" response you're referring to was regarding a list of links to leaked nudes of Hunter Biden reported by the Biden campaign: https://i0.wp.com/www.techdirt.com/wp-content&#x

It's confusing because the recent Doom games were developed by Id and published by Bethesda Softworks, and both of them are subsidiaries of Zenimax. Bethesda Softworks is just a publisher; the games Bethesda is best known for (The Elde

Please don't change subjects. We were talking about "shadowbanning", not Hunter Biden. Twitter has stated for years that they have controls to prevent algorithmic recommendation of particular users, content, or trends, and th

Who did the FBI ask to have banned? I'm not seeing that in the emails Taibbi published.

Taibbi explicitly said that the FBI did not request action be taken on the Hunter Biden story.

Can you cite an example of that? I've read all of the threads so far and none of them demonstrate an account being taken down at the government's request.

"The evidence doesn't show malfeasance, but if you imagine other evidence that does show malfeasance, that would be bad" is not a compelling argument in any situation.

Taibbi even presents clear evidence that Twitter did not take the FBI's reports as automatic cause for taking action.

The FBI investigated both Trump and Clinton in 2016. The difference is that they made a big announcement about Clinton immediately prior to the election.

If the FBI was legally compelling or coercing Twitter into banning users, that would be unconstitutional. That is not what has been demonstrated here.
