  • Do you interpret a 👍 as a rude reply?

  • Initially I did yeah, but eventually learned that different people use it differently. So good practice to never assume sarcasm through emojis unless you know the person well

  • Yeah ReNoise is great! Though since I've transitioned to a full-FOSS workflow, I now use OpenMPT as my main, and Furnace for Game Boy specific tracks.

    I've listed my main tools here if you're interested: https://johnoestmannmusic.com/tooling/

  • As much as I love what they're doing, tieing an OS to a specific region via name seems like the opposite of Open Source values.. Then again, I suppose it could just be forked into a more generalized version

  • according to the linked article, it sounds like it is for performance reasons.

  • What Pseudoscience do you Believe?

  • I do suspect Qi is a useful abstract concept for focusing and activating parts of our physiology. But while it feels like a single thing ("energy"), it is more a very complex bunch of processes the same way our consciousness feels like a single thing, but is actually a very complex bunch of processes.

  • Ah okay, cheers for the info! I'm new to US-based sources

  • Ex-believers, what made you quit your religion/cult?

    Jump

  • I grew up as a Christian. When I was around 15, someone asked me "if I hadn't been born a Christian, would I be a Christian?" Considering it, I opened my Bible and immediately a verse popped out (in classic God fashion) saying "Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have"

    So then I felt called even more to really explore, based on that:

      • I couldn't currently defend my faith reasonably
      • If God was actually real, he wouldn't be scared of people exploring arguments against Christianity, because the faith would be based on something ultimately true.
      • By exploring other faiths, arguments, etc, if I returned as a Christian, I would have a much stronger faith.

    The more I explored these arguments, as well as gaining a better understanding of what the Bible actually is (in a historical and literature sense), more and more of the belief system unraveled, eventually to the point I didn't call myself a Christian anymore.

    Then over the next decade I went back and forth exploring alternative denominations in Christianity, as well as other religions (Daoism, Buddhism, Judaism), especially as I still felt a "spiritual pull" / intuition in a lot of situations. So it took me a really long time to separate that intuitive sense of direction from the belief system around the Holy Spirit specifically, and learn where trusting that intuition is effective, and where it can be misleading. That's been the most complex part of all of this.

    I still enjoy exploring other belief systems, components of Christianity, and connecting with whatever that intuition is occasionally, as I do think there is a lot there for human psychological and emotional health that Western modernity sorely lacks. (I suspect this hole in our culture is why a lot of fundamental US Evangelism has flourished btw) But that's how I lost my faith - God gave me the push I needed :P

  • I would just like to push back and say that the Internet was an open public project, and it has helped countless people across the world. Every single problematic tech that people are pointing to at the moment are closed-source commercial projects.

    That is Capitalism at work.

  • I wonder if the "limited resources" are due to them potentially losing a whole load of customers recently.

    You know, if their tech truly is as open-source as they market, then they've still contributed hugely to the ecosystem. If it turns out it's not actually operationally open-source, then this will be remembered in a hugely negative light.

    Edit: I did just see their post about being impacted by the US spending cuts. I can't imagine Proton would be super happy about that administration at the moment. But then again, who knows these days.
