Okay, edited my comment to reflect this fact. Nevertheless, the point still stands: should we be so willing to allow our intelligence apparatus, as citizens, to be sold on an open market of economy for subterfuge and covert action? I would

The Dutch are a part of 9-eyes, which indeed reports to the 5-eyes coalition. They are, therefore, a second-rate member of this extra-sovereign entity.

The subtext is one state using another states spying activities in order to gain an advantage in its own war against a third state, and is presented in a way that seems designed to popularise the idea of surveillance economies exchanging wi

I don't believe anybody's surveillance is good. This is the opposite of free and open society, and is a creeping tyranny. I discourage any such devotion in my peers - its all too easy to just submit to the overwhelming might of

Thank you for the excellent references - indeed, I have added these to my queue and will enjoy catching up with you on the subject.

As a citizen, I am not okay with this degree of intra-sovereign surveillance. If I am to live in, pay taxes, and otherwise contribute to a society, I want to be free of surveillance and subterfuge within that society - my states laws, desi

Thanks for thus - very cool bunch of scripts, highly useful!

Great hotkeys for everything .. just install it and give it a try. '?' key is your friend - from this you will learn the ways of the REAPER ... ;) For tutorials: you need to get some Kenny Gioia in your viewing time. It will m

REAPER has a great workflow. Its like the vim of DAW.

In this case, it is dangerous since a lot of the moral fibre that prevents Dawkins from calling for an all-out eradication of any human being that has the "belief in God" gene, simply won't be there for future generations&#x2

Science has concluded that some human genotypes are, by scientific standards "lesser" than others. This can be - and has been - used by atheists and religionists alike to justify crimes against those people. Without a moral sens

Maybe feelings are enough evidence that the science is still out on the existence of a human soul. An authoritarian hell bent on altering culture to suit his own will is never going to convince me otherwise.

Dawkins' himself says he still left the window open 0.1 units wide. Fact!

by fit2rule 6y ago
Yeah, well maybe God is the sum total of everything, including your much-despised woo woo .. which, in my opinion, is the opposite of the kinds of totalitarian schools of thought that threaten our cultures, time and again. Without the woo a

Indeed there is alignment, as one of my favourite quotes from one of my favourite authors brings to bear: “You must not fool yourself, and you are the easiest person to fool.” - Richard P. Feynman

I think the fact that Dawkins has become the very thing he so violently resists - a violent, intolerant fundamentalist who brooks no further questioning of his own authoritarian narrative - is evidence enough that there is still much, much

Ignorance of counter-evidence is not truth.

Ah, there you go, exhibiting precisely the moral authority I find repugnant in followers of the Dawkins cult. What makes it true?

I always find that the best way to get something out of GEB, which I have consumed a thousand times, is to read it backwards. ;)

by fit2rule 6y ago
I didn't get that impression at all. What I walked away from was a feeling of dire unease at the popularity of Dawkins' opinion that human beings are machines that can be broken and manipulated by their environment, and that soci

The software is stable and I've used it professionally to track bands in a real studio for years - right alongside full-blown ProTools, REAPER, and now Luna systems, which have just as much failings as you seem to think would preclude

I found this book completely degrading, even to the point of nauseating .. it discounts tens of thousands of years of human experience with describing itself, producing a taxonomic monster that is of very little actual use to the common man

Sweet, thanks for sharing!

This is really nice - you know what it inspires me to do: make a synthesiser interface with the same tech/look and feel. Do you have a repo link where I might contribute something in that regard? Wired up to MIDI, this could be the bas

You're pretty much off the mark, on every single point: 1) Most Windows VST .DLL's run just fine, unless copy protected - and even then, iLok can be made to work. You won't have a Catalina-level catastrophe on your hands, eit

Ubuntu Studio works on par with the other DAW's. I think there is a lot of prejudice against this platform - the others require immense investment after all - and this is supported by your last line .. But really, the prejudice against

FWIW, I also dev for pro audio. Perhaps that has something to do with my enthusiasm for the emergence of this new platform...

All that crashing sounds to me like you had bung hardware somewhere. Anyway I can only encourage you to have a closer look at Ubuntu Studio in a fresh instance. It really has been very stable and quite productive for me.

by fit2rule 6y ago
In the case of Ubuntu Studio, you get hundreds of apps and plugins and FX systems and other creative apps, already installed out of the box, courtesy of the distro politics you don't seem to understand .. to get a similar degree of pac

Either your experience is really not so up to date, or you are being disingenuous about your own professional skills with Ubuntu Studio. Perhaps you have shitty hardware that requires vendor proprietary drivers - I don't. All my digit
