  • Mixxx is alright but I prefer the robustness and simplicity of Serato. And my turntables technically are MIDI controllers. Fully digital and no needle or DVS interface needed. But spins and behaves just like real vinyl. I don't like controllers with static jogwheels, which limits my selection when it comes to MIDI hardware. I've considered real turntables but they are out of my budget. And they can be finicky when using them with DJ software.

  • If you're interested, you can listen to some of my old shows from when I was a radio DJ. Haven't uploaded in awhile, though (fucking copyright).

  • Open format, so literally anything and everything. I go entirely by audience reaction when deciding what to play. But mostly I like happy songs with a party vibe.

  • Those are still a thing? I adblocked them a long time ago.

  • I only know about them because I am an SDR (shortwave radio) enthusiast. They seem to only have a presence outside of the US.

  • Because I don't want to run hardware that needs to operate in realtime over a USB 2.0 connection through a VM. I have digital turntables with high-resolution platters. These are precision instruments that require the absolute lowest DPC latency obtainable; I need to eliminate as much overhead as I can, and have my equipment running as close to the bare metal as I can get from a modern OS.

  • I would but my DJ gear is over a decade old and none of it is compatible with Linux. It won't even run on a modern CPU without crashing Serato, so I use an old laptop with a 4th gen i5 running LTSC to power my turntables and mixer; it all runs smooth as butter on period-correct hardware.

    Eventually I will get new gear and try to get it working in Linux, but I don't have thousands to drop right now on updated hardware, so I make do with what I have.

  • Meanwhile my dorky furball comes when called and greets me at the door. He even jumps on people. I think he accidentally had dog software installed at the factory.

    His name is James (because he wears a tux) and he is a dapper gentleman:

  • Bluetooth has latency; it's not suitable for realtime mic usage. The delay will make it difficult to sing/speak.

  • No, never. The worst thing that happens is that I still feel tired after a full night's rest, but I'm an insomniac so I'll take poor sleep over no sleep at all.

  • So how do I skip the weeds and grasslands stages and go directly to mature oak-hickory forest, then?

  • Is there a federated Strava alternative?

  • I simply use the fitness-tracking features that came with my watch. They're more than adequate, and the close integration with the watch means that I don't even have to do anything. I just live my life and check the stats later. Modern smartwatches are good like that.

  • My bad; I know nothing of the Bosnian Genocide beyond the name. It was a shitty joke anyway.

  • Didn't Bosnia do a genocide not too long ago?

    Permanent loss of beach privileges seems like a reasonable punishment; if anything, it's too light.

  • Enough with the trucks and SUVs. I'm not buying an EV until I can get a 2 door sports convertible with rack and pinion steering and double wishbone suspension. I don't want to drive a tank of a vehicle with vague, floaty handling. I want a small, light, and nimble EV that's fast as fuck and corners like a dream. For under $30K USD.

  • Have you been on YouTube lately? (Or any algorithmic social media in general, like Facebook?) Pro-MAGA content gets promoted while anything against is buried. Anti-Trump comments are hidden and you get a "some content might not be visible yet" message in your comment history.

    Gen Z was raised by algorithms, so is it really a big surprise that they lean MAGA?
