Do you have labour day off and an eight instead of ten or twelve hour work day? It’s because of a general strike. It’s up to you if you think they are effective.

Yes. Lol. Total eclipse. Obviously never ever look at the eclipse until the sun is completely covered “totality”. And even then have an alarm handy beforehand so you know when it will move out of the total eclipse phase.

Total solar eclipse. I’ve seen a few. There is something so strange about the omnipresent sun you have lived with your whole life suddenly be gone and there is a black space that you can look at with your eyes where the sky used to be and everything is dark like the night. On a human level I’d image it’s the closest thing I’ll get to seeing the Earth from space. Once you see it you will absolutely understand why older civilizations wouldn’t shut up about it. We understand almost everything about when it will happen and what it is but the experience you can never understand. If you live less than 6-8 hours away from a place you can see a total eclipse do it. An eclipse with glasses is OK but it is a million times more impactful looking at total blackness where the sun once was with your own eyes.

They are very different genres. But most likely Daft Punk have danceable music that can be traced back to Chicago house. After disco people stared incorporating synth /electro sound into dance music into the 80s. Chicago house DJ Paul Johnson is the first name mentioned in the Daft Punk song “Teachers”. During the 90’s French house became very big. Searching 90’s or 2000’s French house will get groups close to Daft Punk.

100% go see Air on tour right now. The Moon Safari tour might be the closest thing to peak Daft Punk shows but obviously the chill side of it. Incredible vibes at these shows with amazing stage production.

Les Digitales Rhymes - Röyksopp is still active - Mirwais Ahmadzaï production - Basement Jaxx - The Avalanches (crazy amount of samples) - Danger - Red snapper (jazzy) - Dead mau5 ( not for me but the certainly took some the daft punk blueprint)

Of course Justice, Underworld, DJ Shadow, Fatboy slim, chemical brothers, Orbital, LCD Soundsystem

Ok. This might be interesting option if the lag isnt there. Any links/guides to accomplish this? Thank you.

Yah. I like Gimp and hate Adobes garbage AI but Adobe files are a requirement for work. I have another computer for Linux stuff but truly wish I could get away.

I love the other software, Gimp ,etc. but yah I can’t change an entire industry to adapt.

Yep. I figured. I receive and deliver files in Adobe. I 've found a few work arounds before but yah it’s a non starter. At least I have a separate computer for daily Linux.

I hate Windows. But I have to use Adobe suite. Wine doesn’t play nice. More than an hour of troubleshooting I feel is not worth it. I need to be working more than solving issues. Someone point me to how to make Adobe suite work (without hours of troubleshooting) and I’ll join the Linux team. Do not suggest other software options I get the files for Adobe they have to be Adobe specific.

This company is quickly trying to monetize every little thing now. It’s still good software but they are really trying to screw over the users. They split the design and development seats and added other blockers so people have to pay multiple times. If you have a pro figma account you can’t use it to work with another companies instance. That company has to have a seat for you and they might have to buy two seats for dev and design. It’s a race to see how much they can squeeze. I’ve heard a lot of users are looking for a way out because it seems like it will only get worse.

Well there is enjoying an artists music and there is supporting an artist and defending them. But you have to decide when to cut off an, “abusive relationship”. I can hold a person and artist in separate spaces. A love a lot of music, literature, art that was created by terrible people but try and avoid giving those people my attention and money. Other people have said that while an artist creates, its not their art, it’s ours. Perfect example is Harry Potter books. I would say that people’s experience and enjoyment of the books is not JK. Now the tough decision comes when you want something created by an artist/company and you have to support them for your own enjoyment. That is the line we all consider. Just trust yourself to find it. Nothing is truly just in this world but we shouldn’t stop trying.

So if I understand it Signal has your phone number but only logs sign up date and last activity date. So yes they can say this person has Signal and last used it on date X. Other than that no information.

Matrix doesn’t require a phone number but has no standard on logging activity so it’s up to the server admin what they log, and they could retain ip address, what users are talking in what, rooms, etc. and E2EE is not required.

I think both have different approaches. I’m just trying to understand. On one hand you have centralized system that has a standard to minimize logs or decentralized system that must be configured to use E2EE and to remove logs.

I’m not an expert but I’ll use this analogy.

Signal is you meeting a person who gives you secure devices. This person then can only ever provide the following information to someone else. From Signal website. “The phone number. the date and time a user registered with Signal and the last date of a user’s connectivity to the Signal service.” Only your device and your friends device can read the messages. It goes direct from you to them. The only way to read any message is having the device.

Telegram is like you making an agreement with another person. By default messages are encrypted but go to the other person for decryption before going to your friends device. This other person Telegram has and will give the phone number, messages, serverlogs, dates to legal entities by request. Now there is an option to bypass this person by using “secret chats” . This will make it so the message is directly from your device to their device. Telegram can’t read messages but as I understand they can still potentially have metadata, server logs of when messages are sent, how many, what device they are sent from. Bottomline is they have activity logs Signal can only provide the date you signed up and the last time you used the app. Not only that but just being on the Telegram platform which allows bots makes you a target. Bots will contact you like spam. Sending you harmful links, etc.

Almost every security person I’ve ever read says. “I use Signal”. Why wouldn’t you go with the service that by default has end to end encryption? Telegram makes it a option you have to select for each person. Both use your phone number.

These are very basic descriptions. I’m Happy to remove or update if I got anything wrong.

A true blow for film fans. Lynch was a visionary that really didn’t compromise. Pushed the medium forward. A true artist. People often complain about his approach to storytelling in films but after seeing one of his films they are rarely forgotten or thought of as “just another movie”.

Toto and Eno!

Does anyone know if he was legally allowed gun(s) while on probation and after you know he was convicted of used guns to endange people based on a internet conspiracy?

Yah. Got it. Just remember what punk is. DIY. You can use anything. Just remember what D. Boon said. “Punk is whatever we say it is”. Only fools follow rules. Good luck.

Punk on a budget? I can’t tell if this is a joke. Every punk I’ve ever known buys or steals from thrift shops, military supplies, and dumpsters behind clothing stores. It was all out of rejection of social norms and creativity of discarded materials. Duct tape, paint, spray paint, stencils, cardboard, safety pins, chains, ropes, needle and thread are all cheap. Egg whites or Elmers for hair spikes.
