That looks like a pretty cheap subscription fee for a country ~25%.

Mine is closer to actually half, though we get healthcare and a half decent social safety net with ours.

Happy to pay it because I know I’d not be where I am now without the stuff taxes pay for

It shouldn’t be, no. But one of the big problems with phones currently is that the radio firmware is almost always a closed-source binary blob.

Airplane mode is probably better understood as the OS asking the radio nicely to not attempt to communicate with the outside world. The antenna is still there able to receive signals, and the radio technically doesn’t have to listen to the OS if it doesn’t want to.

It’s incredibly unlikely (researchers look for this kind of thing), so make sure your tin foil is on tight, but not impossible that a radio could store cell tower identifiers it has seen whilst on airplane mode and do something with them when it is allowed to communicate again. There’s also the possibility there’s some secret signal that can be sent to force a phone in airplane mode to respond.

Unless you’re up to some Edward Snowdon level stuff though, even if that last one exists, it’s probably not being used on you.

The radios are the parts of your phone that communicate wirelessly. Most phones will only turn the cell radio off entirely during airplane mode, disabling mobile data does not typically turn that radio off.

Airplane mode should turn everything off (unless you re-enable things like WiFi, but that should still keep the cell radio off)

I assume this is coming at some point, tbh

I personally reckon they’re working on something YAbridge-esque to allow people to bring their VSTs to the push in standalone mode. If they can actually nail that, it’s an absolute no brainer to then release a full Linux version of the DAW and finally allow people like me to make the switch

Every time I’ve tried to run Ableton on Linux over the years (most recently about Christmas last year), it’s the VST support that lets me down. I’ve got hundreds of VSTs I’ve used in various projects over the past couple of decades and I can’t switch unless I know they all work properly—projects not loading or sounding different is unacceptable. I need to be able to open anything I’ve worked on over the years and be able to get right into the creativity without tinkering, as that is what I already have today.

Until that day, I’ve got to begrudgingly keep windows around.

You would not want to do this for latency reasons

The US doesn’t deserve Dolly as a national treasure, she’s a treasure of the world

In spite of the USA we have today

How’s glasto, mate?

Did I say “only”?

Fascists are the most dangerous and frankly, alarmingly flooding the internet with their shit right now

“Magnitudes” is a borderline dangerous understatement of the difference in their output versus any other corner of political thought.

Hyper targeted advertising on the internet means you categorically will not be seeing anything close to the worst of it.

Of course it is.

Fascists can create the illusions they need to convince morons whilst at the same time making them distrust reality (“nah that’s AI”)

A lot of people are going to suffer

It does actually seem like it’s only the US for now

I like how foul language etc is halfway down the list

This is either satire or another case of conservatives being entirely unable to criticise anything without also broadcasting their kinks

Didn’t he just announce he was going to run third party yesterday anyway?

I swear I read an article about that on here

Order corn

The best stuff at a cinema is rarely plastered all over the front, that’s just advertising for people who don’t really care about movies.

Also if your area is like mine, look for the smaller cinemas that screen the new oddities and forgotten classics

A lot of Arnie and no “hasta la vista, baby”

Baffling
