Considering Spez once edited another user's comments, I would not put that tinfoil hat theory past him.

I think I must have pirated Bitwig because I definitely haven't paid for anything. That said, I don't really use it much anymore. I've been trying Ableton and don't mind it.

I say this as a primarily Linux user who also does music production on Windows, but anyone looking for a great DAW on Linux check out Bitwig. I found it really easy to use and well-designed. I've done a ton of music production on it and it works great. The only reason I prefer windows is because there are more compatible plug-ins.

There is that trope about how porn tends to dictate technological advancement. Probably will have some sway in this whole debacle. That said, not being as big as reddit is kind of nice. The best online communities are always smaller.

Oh wow Spez is still CEO? I thought he resigned after he edited that user's comment without permission or whatever. Really kept a low profile since.

I use Linux Mint. I started using Linux in 2007 and was an Ubuntu guy. When Ubuntu switched to Unity I wasn't a big fan. At the time, Mint was providing an experience fairly close to what I was used to so I gave it a try. It does everything I need so I haven't looked back. I don't tinker as much as I used to and it's very stable.

Also have a windows install I use for gaming and music production, but 95% of the time I'm on mint.

I've gotten into the habit of solving a shrine then googling how I was actually supposed to do it.

I was so stubborn haha. Blackberry had a phone where the touchscreen still clicked like a button when you pressed it and I thought that was the compromise everyone wanted. I was way off.

I also work in tech and love to buy gadgets and stuff. I've lived the majority of my adult life with a smart phone, pretty much my entire career. One thing I really wish I got to experience more of was working, dating, socializing, etc when you were very hard to get ahold of once you left the house. You'd have a phone at work, a phone at home, you'd check your messages and read the mail. Beyond that, you would be on your own when you were out in the world and not at the beck and call of anyone who who can contact you via one of hundreds of ways on a smartphone.

I remember being one of the many who thought touchscreens wouldn't catch on because people loved physical keyboards too much. Of course, touchscreens weren't quite what they are today. Haptic feedback and multi-touch were game changers.

Never heard of it before seeing this but it looks really cool. I might have to give it a spin.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure that's by design. It's powerful tool for pushing an agenda. Moderation only makes it more powerful.
