Reaper and Bitwig Studio are familiar apps for many audio producers.

At the very least go back the first English version of the article chain.

At the very least

What you implied is that if a story originally came from a non-English source then it’s automatically suspect.

No, I didn’t. Learn to read. I stressed the regurgitation of a regurgitation of a regurgitation as a “source”.

Professional alternatives exist.

Have you ever noticed how vendors who ship computers with Linux often do so at the same or greater cost than Windows?

Yeah… Even when going to Linux exclusively, it’s usually better to pick the Windows device.

As long as they don’t need nividia drivers.

Luckily NVidia is rather selling their GPUs to AI datacenters than to home consumers.

Yeah, people need to get with the times. Flatpak exists since 10 years and smashed through the roof with Steam Deck (4 years).

Feels free to post Mandarin language news in traditional script in the appropriate community. The language used in the info bar is the metric I’d suggest.

[Update - 12/26/2025] - Taiwanese outlet, CNA, has received a statement from ASUS regarding the DRAM rumor and stated that it currently has no plans to invest in a memory wafer fab.

Lesson hopefully learned: Don’t link to the regurgitation of a regurgitation of a regurgitation of a Persian language article. At the very least go back the first English version of the article chain.

Didn’t realize Mattermost still existed.

Or they keep the prices up because consumers got used to them.

A few weeks ago journalists said that complete systems will not be affected short term because OEMs order RAM and SSDs a year in advance.

So what is it?

I’m not defending Microsoft but to say that Stardock is sketchy has no base in reality.

Costs money but works with only minor quirks when switching between iGPU and dGPU.

Less diversity isn’t good

Less proprietary crap is good. Free software is always preferable to fake diversity through proprietary Microsoft products.

What about WebKit? That makes 3 browser engines although it’s primarily used on Apple devices.

WebKit-GTK is fine, Ladybird and Servo also exist.

The vehement defense of a shitty, proprietary Microsoft browser here is astonishing.

I mean the choice between only two browser engines isn’t what I would call “free” though, especially since Firefox is also pulling more and more bullshit.

Gecko and Chromium are both fully free software. Old Edge isn’t.

He made a good overall point.

No. It was a very weak defense of proprietary software.

Just saying he is wrong doesn’t actually make him wrong.

Just saying that doesn’t make it wrong but the “argument” is wrong.

Doing so reduced the amount of diversity in rendering engines

It killed the last proprietary engine. It made the web more free.

That’s a loss for the Web as a whole.

You’re wrong.

Moving from a shitty proprietary web renderer to participate in Chromium development was an improvement.

No, Fuchsia is a completely new OS, not using the Linux kernel at all.
