It’s a little frustrating that Ableton must have a Linux build of Live, since the Push 3 runs Linux, but they don’t release a Linux version we can install. Not that it would fix those plugin issues. When I have a bit of time I’ll see how far I get with it.

I look forward to flying in electric planes that scamper amusingly down the runway.

Thanks for the advice. I haven’t tried Ableton with Wine, but I’ll have to give it a go. I’ll be very happy if that works.

As for the .NET IDE, I can do most things in Linux quite happily using JetBrains Rider and VS Code. There are just a couple of problematic legacy .NET 4 projects with dependencies on old libraries that are only available in Windows, and some old T4 templates that will only run in Visual Studio. We’re on the way to retiring those but not quite there yet.

People have been theming Linux to look like Windows for decades. The problem is, theming it doesn’t overcome the main sticking point, which is that Linux doesn’t run the software many people use for work. I use Linux for my main OS, but then I use Ableton Live, Capture One, the Affinity suite, Adobe Acrobat, Fusion 360, Visual Studio (for legacy .NET) and many people depend on other Adobe software and other professional software, none of which runs well on Linux. So I end up running both Linux and Windows. Theming just isn’t the main issue here.

The words on the bullets seem designed to make very clear why he was killed.

If MAGA folks hate billionaires, they have some odd and glaring blind spots.

Democrats will debate it and mull it over until about January 20th, when they’ll sigh and regret that nothing can be done, but assure us that if Trump were to persecute his political opponents it would contravene gentlemanly norms, which would surely be very embarrassing to Trump.

They’re not trying to fix anything, just keep people down while they rape and plunder.

Other places. I’m not into racial purity, if that’s your point, or some hopeless quest to prevent the world changing.

One medical doctor, whose identity the Daily Beast confirmed, commented with sympathy for Thompson’s family and said the killer should be charged with murder, but then wondered about the damage the CEO had done.

“I cannot even guess how many person-years UHC has taken from patients and their families through denials,” they wrote. “It has to be on the order of millions. His death won’t make that better, but it’s hard for me to sympathize when so many people have suffered because of his company.”

“What has bothered me the most is people that put «fiduciary responsibility» (eg profits) above human lives, none more so than this company as run by him," wrote another medical doctor, who also spoke to the Daily Beast to confirm their identity. “When other’s human lives are deemed worthless, it is not surprising to have others view your life of no value as well.”

These doctors know what’s up.

She was their CEO for a while.

Isn’t an insurance company supposed to be able to cope with things like this? Some surgeries go overly long and you have to pay more for anesthesia. Luckily, not all surgeries do, and for these outliers you have a handy big pool of money people have been paying into. You could use some of that.

Because a society can only survive through procreation.

Immigration also works.

Who demonizes children?

People on the right aren’t very nice about trans kids. But that’s probably not their point.

Also kick out the immigrants who can help with the problem.

From January 2011 to November 2014, she served as the chief executive officer of UnitedHealthcare

Small world, when you move in those circles. Imagine how these people convince themselves they’re doing something good and admirable.

Also get a different faith.

Yes, if someone used one of these against you, you could be in trouble. The company that makes it also makes a detector that can spot it:

Don’t assume Florida Man can read and write.

Industrial CT scanner manufacturer Lumafield imaged an O.MG USB-C cable revealing sophisticated electronic components secreted within the connector.

The headline is clickbait I think. The whole point of the O.MG cable is to hide electronics in the connector. It’s advertised as a hacking tool. The analysis of what can be seen in there may be interesting, but it’s not like this is secret knowledge.
