  • It’s all fun and games until the day you have your first cup of that coffee made from single farm, small batch, hand washed, sun dried, meticulously roasted and ground, then brewed with the preciseness of a chemical engineering lab, that just hits for you. Suddenly you can never smell the burnt toxic shit Starbucks sells as “coffee” without gagging and you spend way to much time and money chasing that perfect brew.











  • I get your point but the truth is that Apple’s M processors do a far better job than Intel and AMD processors do when it comes to this type of work. I started on Linux with Reaper and BitWig but the Macs performance was significantly better. Also, software and hardware support is key. All music gear manufacturers and software vendors support apple, including Apple silicone. You can run many VSTs through comparability layers but the latency is a huge problem and the alteady high CPU demands get exacerbated.

    I have been on Linux since very early days and have always been a proponent of it. Music production is just not an niche that is currently as well covered by Linux as it is by Mac. We need a Linux push in music like the one Valve did in gaming. If Abelton and Native Instruments went all in on Linux, I think much of the industry would follow.


  • The point @someguy3@lemmy.world was making is that the federal government can pull any state charges to a federal agent into federal court. If the federal judge finds that the federal agent was not acting in their capacity as a federal agent when the crime was committed, then the state prosecution can continue. That’s a tough obstacle to overcome under the current administration.

    My point is that murder has no statute of limitations and Minnesota can wait to file charges until a non-fascist administration is in power. That could be in four years or in twenty. Again, no statute of limitations.


  • The state of Minnesota can wait until there is a more friendly administration before bringing charges, since there is not statute of limitations on murder. Also, the supremacy clause does not protect murderer Johnathan Ross from civil litigation.

    You attached that TikTok-like video without properly reading the comment you were responding to.

    EDIT:

    Let’s address @someguy3@lemmy.world 's edit below. He is not wrong, but he is being overly defeatist and thus ignoring several key points.

    • Administrations do matter. As we have seen with Trump and his failed prosecution, administrations get to install federal judges and it is up to the federal judge whether or not this becomes a federal case.
    • A presidential pardon carries an admission of guilt, which is part of your permanent criminal record, which definitely affects your ability to find employment, travel, etc.
    • Civil suits can be a terrible fate and should not be dismissed as Someguy3 is doing. A severe judgment against you can be an insurmountable and lifelong financial burdern. Even if as a convicted, yet pardoned murderer you happen to find a job, the civil suit will garner your wages. Own a house? Not anymore. People like OJ and Alex Jones have/had the means to avoid a lot of this, but murderer Johnathan Ross? Not likely without a very rich benefactor, in which case Mrs Good’s widow and children would be set for life while murderer Ross would still carry that albatross around his neck for life. Ideal? No, but things rarely are.
