Does anyone expect anything else from GB News?

Another factor, albeit a smaller one, is that not everyone wants to move away from them. I have a friend who loves his classic cars and feels threatened by the thought that alternative methods would take away his biggest joy in life. There is also the practicality aspect - I don't drive but if I were to buy an electric car I have no idea where I would charge it, there's not that much of an infrastructure for it that I've seen near me.

Fuck livestock farmers. Not a single consumer has ever been confused about whether a veggie burger is a meat burger or not. Desperation to save a increasingly failing "industry" which only survives because governments prop it up with subsidies paid for by tax payers.

Is that a pedestrian crossing they're sitting in the middle of?

That is another level.

Well I guess I don't have a particular or consistent system but I can find what I need pretty quickly. I have a few tab groups for stuff like youtube, bandcamp which helps a lot, and I use Simple Tab Groups in firefox which has been amazing (but I've only been using one group/window so this is kind of defunct now), but otherwise there are areas of tabs which are related and they are roughly in chronological order. I will manually move tabs so there are areas of certain topics. I know I can scroll all the way to the right for old tabs, and then left of that a specific topic I was learning about at that time, then left of that something roughly related by topic or time, and so on until all the way to the left is the most recent tabs (and then a bunch of pinned tabs that I use very often). It's like a map of time and topic, and not just a bunch of random tabs like you might imagine.

Bold of you assume that it is not being used.

The point is that it may look like a mess to you but that doesn't mean it is objectively a mess. Hundreds of open tabs can still have logic and organisation even if that is not obvious to you.

Because the whole world is America, right?

Shockingly, some people function differently to you.

It probably is functionally not too different. I have the bookmark bar open but I mostly have all the sites I regularly go to there. Additionally, I have thousands of bookmarks from many years so wading through them for something I briefly saw and was interested in last week but can't remember enough detail on to find isn't very fun or easy. And where do I look for it? One bookmark could be categorised in many ways so I also have to remember where I saved it. Tags are good but I have too many for that to be very useful or quick.

I do use grouping as well, and I really like it, but this just causes me to have even more tabs because there is less pressure to trim down the endless list since I can hide them.

 

I'm just trying out Immich and I'm really impressed, seems to be exactly what I'm looking for except for one thing. I am looking for something that is a central library for my family so we can all access the same photos and all upload to the same place.

It looks like users can see other users' libraries but you lose the People functionality and perhaps a few other things.

What's the best solution? I'm thinking of just creating a generic user and giving the details for everyone to use but it seems a shame to lose the user functionality of individual passwords etc.

 

So I’ve finally decided to get a real rack and I’m looking for advice on a couple of areas. I will be making drone/dark ambient and I already have a digitakt, 0-Coast and NTS-1. I want the rack to create slowly evolving drones and textures which I can layer with the 0-Coast for fx/bass and the digitakt to play more textures, glitchy fx, or whatever sounds right. I also plan to use VCV for CV modulation and sent to midi which seems to be nice and easy with the Nifty case.

So far I have decided to get the Nifty case and Morphagene, along with FX Aid XL for big reverbs and probably Befaco Out v3. The areas I am undecided about are modulation, distortion, and perhaps utilities.

For modulation, I would like a few different LFOs that I can use with both the rack and with the 0-Coast. I’ve been thinking about Ochd + some kind of mixer because I love it in VCV and it seems hard to beat in terms of separate LFOs and footprint. But then, perhaps Maths might be better? I would get less choice of outputs from it vs Ochd but I could potentially do more with it?

For distortion, I really have no idea. I want it to be stereo in/out as I plan to use it before or after FX Aid but I don’t know what kind of distortion I need for creating filthy distorted pads/drones. I quite like VCV's Debriatus’ saturate and fold sections in VCV. I’ve been looking at Erica Synths Pico DSP since it is small, stereo and could be useful to have other fx when I don’t want distortion. I think I also want it to have some kind of tone/filter to tame it and make it dark.

For utilities, I don’t think I need a great deal, at least for this iteration of the rack. It looks like I can attenuate the inputs on Morphagene and I don’t really need to create envelopes for now, nor do I need sample and hold (although this might be handy later on).

So any advice on modules? I’m also thinking that a stereo mixer with a few different inputs might be useful so that I can route the digitakt (which will have the 0-Coast running through it) because I only really have a stereo output to my speakers/computer.
