Well when you outsource all your skilled jobs to other countries for a few decades, it shouldn’t be a surprise that they will move ahead of your country in the skills needed to compete against you.

That quest for extreme short term profits at the expense of your own long term sustainability/survivability has come back to bite you in the ass. Congratulations corporate America, you’ve played yourself.

what’s the alternative scenario here?

Parents could not upload pictures of their kids everywhere in a vain attempt to attract attention to themselves?

That would be good.

If they do, that means they don’t take design seriously

The diploma mill MBAs that run the place don’t know (or care) what good design is.

They only know how to look at business costs as “cutting into our profit”.

Though now I realize you actually have to get referred by one of the other members in order to start posting

That is done with the intention of keeping the quality of content high.

I doubt they want to get flooded with low effort “let’s play” gamers or even lower effort AI voiceover stock footage crap.

i tought i heard somewhere about her being a fascist?

Without any background or context or evidence on that accusation, I am hesitant to accept “I thought I heard somewhere” .

Actual fascists and nazis have been projecting that accusation onto their opponents for a while now.

Lightburn for controlling laser engravers.

It’s pretty much the only choice on Linux (though it is cross platform). Free 30 day trial, then ~$80 lifetime licence.

The other choice is LaserGRBL, which is open source, but doesn’t seem to have a Linux port for some reason. And it has a lot fewer features, with a more complex workflow.

it will just crash on you before you even find out

Older versions may have had issues with that, but I haven’t encountered any crashing in over 2 years. (And I i do 6 youtube videos per month with it)

Definately war crimes.

The US government has never been supportive of the ICC.

And has always been a strong supporter of Israel no matter what they are doing.

seriously doubt the USA will exist in 50 years

As someone in a country that shares a land border with the Americans, I am increasingly concerned about the instability (and likely violence) that will accompany that impending collapse.

I hope sanity can prevail, but it’s looking pretty bleak.

I am constantly baffled how refusing to futute-proof the company meets the definition of “fiduciary responsibility”.

“Let’s spike today’s profits by destroying tomorrow’s profits” doesn’t seem very responsible to me.

Want to go farther? Fine! DC fast charging is, in fact, fast

Sure, but those need to exist at the appropriate locations, and be maintained in working order - neither of which is the current reality in a lot of places.

Add to that the lack of availability of affordable EVs and you are going to have the slow adoption we currently see.

.

I was planning to get an EV of some sort the last time my vehicle needed to be replaced, but there were none available at the time that fit my budget and my needs.

I still intend to have one relatively soon, but the practical realities are still an impediment.

Look at the date of the linked RFC documents…

Being super cheap does make the X32 family pretty popular at the entry level.

Before I retired I was also almost entirely analog.

But these days it appears that even the gear targeted at small bar bands is leaning heavily toward a fully digital workflow.

The US has been tied to Israel since its founding.

No matter who (or what party) was in the white house, the US would be propping up Isreal after the Hamas attack.

Just like it has done for decades.

Most of the apps to interface with pro level mixing consoles and lighting boards are Mac / iPad . Very few for Android, limited Windows options and pretty much nothing for Linux.

Live production stuff as well.

So much of the available “industry standard” software is fully proprietary and Apple only.

Anyone who is trying to make money from their videos isn’t likely to have any incentive to be on Odysee, unless thay start paying for views with something other than their useless in-house crypto.

Plus, the audience on Odysee is miniscule compared to pretty much any other video platform.

they turn around and lock all but the most basic features behind a pay wall.

To be fair, that was forced by the music industry.

If they didn’t licence the tabs and come up with a payment system they were going to be sued into oblivion.
