LMMS doesn't seem to pack the samples and soundfonts into the project file when you import, so you're live referencing them in your folders, which means renaming the folders will break the links. I also learned this the hard way, and now tend to copy soundfonts I use into the project folder of each project, so if I need to move or send over files to someone else, I can copy the folder without breaking anything.

Couldn't add perforce to the list because someone else was checking it out, I see.

I did not need this meme interrupting me in the middle of athletic.mp3

The ban isn't even the problem here. It is that someone has access to and moderates their private conversations.

I wouldn't use their tool even if it was my only option.

Been waiting for either 8a to drop in price or for 9a to come out. My old phone is 10 years old and barely hanging on, so hopefully grapheneOS adds support for 9a rather quickly.

Install windows 11, installer takes 11 hours, run windows update for another 11 hours, restart, install drivers one by one from various websites for an hour, run windows update, restart, uninstall bloatware, restart, disable telemetry in 100s of menus, run windows update, restart, disable telemetry again after windows update re-enabled them, go to various websites to download your preferred applications, install them one by one, restart.

Vs

Install Linux Mint, installer takes 20 minutes, all drivers already there, no bloatware, open software manager, install all your applications from there, they can all be queued, no need to restart, done.

Yeah, spreading people out is great. I have no particular hate for lemmy.world, but it is way too big compared to the other instances, which can be troublesome if it keeps expanding and in the future a company buys the instance and suddenly controls the majority of Lemmy.

Before the ddos they were also spamming a certain n-word. Why are far-right groups targeting codeberg anyway?

If you use a Programming.dev account, all political posts are filtered from "all" unless they're from a community you subscribed to. I suggest you give moving instance a try.

Since you're on lemmy.world, the move would be good for decentralization too.

We used to have japanese sites where you could watch a few ads, and maybe pay for premium for extra content and earlier access, and otherwise read manga for free, but then VISA and Mastercard shut down those sites because they contained adult content.

If we want easier access to anime and manga, we must first start with slapping a giant anti-trust lawsuit on these companies while Japan implements their new law forbidding payment processors from being able to pick and choose the content they allow.

That sounds like a cool concept. I'll have to look into this "Lemmy" thing.

All your favorite games are there but now require a Microsoft account, and will ask you if you want to log in automatically everytime despite you checking the "don't ask me again" box. They'll also gradually keep asking for more personal information (phone number, second email address, age, address, fingerprint, face) and lock you out of your account everytime you refuse "to protect you".
