Oh, that changes things. Thank you! It’s great to have another solid option.

I do like the idea of a known, quality brand. Thanks for the rec.

I didn’t know Google made a game controller. Thanks for the rec, but I’m boycotting them too unfortunately.

Seriously considering this, thank you! I’ll update if I get it :)

The code is one thing. 300 skilled developers is another. Most of those could be full-time too.

Despite those choices, I’m not sure there were many other directions that could ever bring in the profits that Google does.

I’ve never been to Turtle Island, but indigenous news should be national news. Every day.

In my small country there is a new law that a percentage of media must be created in our native language. A similar law for including native news makes sense for colonies like USA/Canada etc.

Why did I have to see this right before bed

And a story like this happening right outside their door.

But we are boycotting XBox https://bdsmovement.net/news/boycott-microsofts-xbox

“Microsoft is perhaps the most complicit tech company in Israel’s illegal occupation, apartheid regime and ongoing genocide”

A day would be a start.

I thought it would be an eyesore initially, but I’m going to swap the plug board for a double adapter. That way only the disk caddy and ARM machine need to go up top. Thanks for the idea.

I think that’s the way to go. I’ll replace the extension lead with a double adapter so the devices can be plugged straight in behind the locker. Then the other stuff can either go on a raised level or on the locker itself. Thanks.

I used Ardour for about a year or two to produce a podcast. It’s so well polished and I preferred it to Logic Pro for that task at times.

I appreciate the reply, that’s really interesting. I struggle with conflicting muscle memory when I use one application a lot (GIMP) but then spend periods of time in other like Pixelmator and to a lesser degree Inkscape and Scribus.

I used Photoshop before it became subscription based. I found some things easier in GIMP and I’ve always been curious if that’s just because it’s familiar or because the workflow happened to be more intuitive.

Anyway, the design behind these programs themselves blows my mind.

I agree. I’m not thinking about USA at all.

As for the EU, we should fund a federated or decentralised system. I think it works well on Lemmy. For example I know not to trust feddit.org for anything related to Palestine. Content on other servers shows their pro-Israel bias.

I think a system like that could benefit the US to a point, at least until the government block all external news and commentary.

You’re right 🤦🏻‍♂️

Interesting. Did you stay with it or later move on to GIMP?

I had no idea. You’re right. It was a $15B business in 2019. https://www.theverge.com/2020/2/3/21121207/youtube-google-alphabet-earnings-revenue-first-time-reveal-q4-2019

Makes the ads seem even more obscene now that I know that.

I haven’t opened my RSS app in a while because I over subscribed and ran away. But it was definitely a good way to compare news from different sources and get balance.

When I’m lazy I read comments for context but they’ve proven to be less reliable.
