   @ai6yr Ben, did you see this about Highway 1 getting fully re-opened? Gift link:
   https://www.nytimes.com/2026/01/15/us/pacific-coast-highway-reopened.html?unlocked_article_code=1.E1A.Z57c.SjdnoBwcN2JC&smid=url-share

   The region ... has more than 1,500 active slide areas, making it among the most landslide-prone areas in the Western United States. ... In some places, chunks of the road have slipped into the ocean. In others, more than a million tons of earth have barreled onto the highway, slicing it to pieces. Bridges have failed. Rainstorms have flooded the road with mud. Residents have been left marooned. Tourists have been shut out.

   In May, the slide on the shuttered stretch of road was moving more than a foot a day, making the site so treacherous that the California Department of Transportation ... used remote-controlled bulldozers to keep workers safe. Mr. Newsom said that Caltrans had managed to stabilize the slopes with thousands of steel reinforcements drilled up to 60 feet deep, and in the days leading up to the reopening, the agency had removed about 240 dump trucks’ worth of mud and debris from the site.

   When our political class claim that we need to attend to the needs & interests of the rich because if we don't they'll move, or stop innovating, or become disincentivized.... what I actually hear is a dismissal, a downgrading & a general devaluing of the work the rest of society's (real) workers do to keep the UK working day in day out.

   In the world of pandering to the rich, normal people are seen as second class, second-level contributors to society.

   *We* aren't the parasites!

   I just figured out why you might want a slower compressor like an LA-2A first, and then a faster one like an 1176 second, when recording something like bass guitar. I'd long assumed it should be the other way around.

   I'm slow, but I do get there eventually.

   For anybody who finds it as counterintuitive as I did: the idea is to get the main part of your playing to a relatively consistent level including the transients, and then level out all the transients in one pass.

   Edited to add better explanation: as your playing varies in level, so do your transients. It's difficult to build a compressor that will figure out what the threshold should have been, for each note.
   A slower compressor ignores the transients and brings the rest of the signal to a more consistent level, and the transients come along for the ride. Now it's much easier to level them out.

   In hindsight, this is so obvious as to be physically painful, but welcome to my life.

   🚨

   Tulsi Gabbard, now running U.S. intelligence, is openly saying the government’s propaganda machine, Operation Mockingbird, never stopped. She’s trying to stop it. This isn’t a conspiracy theory anymore, it’s an admission from the top.
   If you want a modern example, look at Operation Warp Speed. The government, media, and pharma all pushed the same COVID-19 vaccine narrative, silenced dissent, and steamrolled any real debate. Even use online troll/agents to aim at whistleblowers like me.
   That’s Mockingbird in action, just with new tech and higher stakes. The system isn’t about keeping you safe, it’s about keeping you in line. And now, finally, someone’s calling it out.

   In short. The CIA is operating on American soil, through our media and favorite movie stars, athletes, etc to push deadly narratives.

   Let that sink in.

   God bless

   With all the talk of X11 removal there's one thing I missed, GNOME is on track to remove X11 support in GNOME 50, this lines up with Ubuntu 26.04, and they had plans to continue shipping X11 for that 1 final release.

   I'm curious to see how this plays out.

   In the past Ubuntu has patched features back in, and does effectively run a soft fork of GNOME but they may also just hold back a version.

   @selzero

   That's because you have nothing to teach. You hve no arguments. ou are a bullshitting self- important moron. This is why I took the time to call you out.

   In stead of offering intelligent arguments you have just said i know nothing.

   You have been given the opportunity to teach but all you have is name calling. You are obviously BlueCry material.
