Do not, I repeat, do not infodump on someone today.

Hi, my brain is wired so that it obsesses over details, combs through data and sifts through documentation, over decades even, only some poor soul to give me attention, which promptly opens up the spigot.

Please be advised, you will know why VST2 instrument plugins can take audio input, but only because Native Instruments sort of "hacked it in" during the 2000s, even though it wasn't apart of the VST2 specification, which Steinberg obviously isn't a fan of, because even to this day Cubase won't recognise audio inputs from VST2 instruments in Cubase, but you can with VST 3 instrument plugins, and even though VST4 was at some point announced, it was presumably scrapped because plans for VST5 was leaked time after, but never actually came into fruition. Really though, vendors should be distributing CLAP plugins and contributing back to CLAP, because we could really use an open standard beyond Steinberg's proprietary SDK, but then people like Native Instruments, Arturia, etc would have to "port their plugins" over to CLAP, which shouldn't be too hard since it's sort of API compatible - though not really - but since they won't see instant returns they probably won't dedicate the billable hours... so anyways, I program Maxforlive devices nowadays - oh, wait. Butterfly...

The gay can stay, but Palestine go away.

I think it's perfectly fitting that Palestine's flag be on display, taking into consideration all the meddling and financial support going on, which begs the question: what other flags would need to be on display? Afghani? Iraqi?

If we're going to have representation, let us have representation.

Goddamn. If there's ever a class action suit where the witnesses get leaked, we might see the first case of corporate serial killing...

Can we then finally have corporal punishment for corporations plz? Corporal corporate punishment.

Some subversion of 3, which is fundamental to a lot of software found out in the wild.

I.e being more reliant upon Google Play services so you'll have to accept their predatory EULA.

Now if they released a new driver update system independent of Google Play, that would be better.

That's pretty one sided though. It's like saying the autocrats don't burn an insane amount of fuel, thereby also exacerbating the issue. If they were all using solar panels, scaling down their fossil fuel industries and actually gave a damn about the environment, then we'd be in agreement.

Oh there will be climate refugees, no doubt about it. But whitewashing the autocrats use of petroleum and using it to justify breaking a system meant to moderate something makes me think you're the left wing equivalent of republicans.

You do not game systems, you reform them, or even replace them... so pass laws that put embargos and sanctions on imported petroleum instead.

Good luck with that.

We should make a system dependant upon culpability. If France helps in the downfall of some country, causing a migrant crisis in the process, then their quota for asylum seekers should go up to accommodate their stupid geopolitical tomfoolery.

It's a geo-political "put your money where you mouth is" kind of system.

Is... is this the comeback of WYSIWYGs?
