@mia @puppygirlhornypost2 @navi ah, ok - so I'm understanding your meaning correctly, your point of view is that one shouldn't provide prebuilt binaries for linux *ever* even when the full source code is available, and that distro package managers distributing prebuilt binaries is essentially an implementation detail?

@puppygirlhornypost2 @glyph I think distros putting everything in different paths, picking different init systems, different audio subsystems, and little things like glibc backwards compatibility breakages are very significant differences. That is a massive permutation space! I can't just simply make a linux build of a game for example.

@glyph this aligns well with something I was thinking about last night. Someone on here trying to relitigate "actually Linux is just a kernel GNU/Linux is the operating system" again, but imo there's no operating system called GNU/Linux that you can just install on your computer, it's a family of operating systems that have names like "Debian" and "GUIX" that are mutually incompatible with one another, which makes "porting to Linux" a nightmare.

@cwebber using gamer as an insult is transphobia, probably

@cwebber kiki is more feminine sounding as a name but girls usually have booba so I'm conflicted here

i feel like i figured out how to call down lightning from the heavens. i have something i can *practice* now, and while making this i had *ideas* for how to extend it. like the logical next step to turning this into a full song is to just repeat from step 1 for the next movement in the song. this strat is composable :D

i'm starting to figure out how to do anything at all with #rosegarden (i'm using rosegarden as a sequencer for #mollytime)

i am really excited about this piece, because i spent basically no time on it. i can do the musical equivalent of low effort doodling on my computer now :D
the basic workflow is:
1) noodle with my virtual midi controller until i find a few patterns i like
2) use rose garden to record said patterns
3) redraw the recorded patterns in another layer using the recorded score as a reference
4) tinker -

ok so the lower receiver is the part of a gun that is legally considered the gun, and that's the part you 3D print if you want to troll lawmakers and legal scholars and/or get in trouble (none of this is legal advice or particularly good advice for that matter)
what i want to know though is whether or not it retains its legally dubious status if you print it in chocolate and/or scale it by 500%

also i firmly believe it's not a "ghost gun" unless you print it in glow in the dark plastic otherwise it's just a normal zip gun

i've got this goal where i try to learn at least one midi sequencer, preferably something free and open source. i've picked out rosegarden for the time being because it's matrix sequencer is more or less the sort of thing i'm looking for and it respects midi.
i found a few youtube tutorials that were helpful for figuring out the basics, but now i'm trying to find something more intermediate like workflow videos by people who know what they're doing, but so far i haven't found anything
