The columnist has always had a hard time with representative democracy. It's not a surprise that he found his angle in this election too.

I'm not saying he's wrong in his core beliefs, just that he's extremely narrow-minded. This is the hammer calling everything a nail.

Du kan blokere communities, instanser og/eller brugere.

Det kan være enklere at blokere nogle enkelte end at subscribe på alt. Jeg har subscribed på ret meget, men alligevel tjekker jeg gerne All for at se efter nye communities. Samtidig har jeg så blokeret alt sportsrelateret, så der f.eks. ikke kommer fodbold i mit All feed.

Sortering er lige til højre for, hvis det er det du mener.

If religion is really what stops these people, then religion is covering for mental illness that ought to be addressed instead of hidden away in churches.

Most American cities use a distance or block system.

Most European cities use the odd/even system. Each plot increase by two on either side, so one side of the road has 1,3,5... and the other has 2,4,6...

If a plot is later subdivided or more houses are built on a plot, its new addresses will get post-fixed letters a,b,c,d...

Or... Hear me out.. You could learn to say no to extra work yourself.

Force the employer to hire the adequate number of employees to cover the shifts that they want covered. That's what their fucking job is. Don't do it for them by being a pushover.

Don't blame the parents for doing what you should be doing.

So what's the alternative?

Should the boss order them to work on days where they're clearly not going to show up because it would also be illegal for them to leave a child without care?

Family beats work.

Hydro is the OG boiled water.

Sun heats water. Water evaporates. Go up high. Falls down. Turn turbine.

Wind power is a side effect of the same process happening on a rotating globe.

Nobody claimed that time off with their children were more important than your time off for your fitness session.

You were just the one who accepted the shift because you can move your fitness session. Your flexibility works in your favor, because you're also the one getting paid for the hours that you decided to work.

You can say no to extra work for no reason. You do not have to make up excuses for not working extra. It is not your boss's job to evaluate which lie is more worthy of not working in their free time.

If your boss ask why you can't cover a shift outside of schedule, just call it what it is: None of his business.

I guess renewables are still cheaper.

At least personally and anecdotally, because it doesn't happen often, but it has happened more than once, that I have purchased electricity at negative prices due to overflow from renewables, which is a hell of lot cheaper than paying a tenth of a cent per kilowatt hour.

I recently got fed up with spending hours making my MIDI devices work in Windows. Everytime I plugged the USB hub with my controllers into Windows, it would reassign the ports and I'd have to use the ancient Korg utility to remove dead ports. This is a really old issue that Microsoft claims was fixed ten years ago, but never was. So I decided to test if Linux can handle MIDI devices better.

It seemed to work fine on an old Mint laptop that I have around, but since I'd rather use the newer laptop and since I still need Windows on that for work, I decided to try out putting everything on a USB stick for portability. Also, the old laptop which I might use sometimes is a bit too slow for Mint, so I needed something smaller.

So, the idea is to put the OS, the DAW, the plug-ins and samples on one single stick. I happened to have a 8gb USB that I found on a parking lot. It's kinda dirty and broken, so I figured it was perfect for the experiment. Yes, I do know that flash drives aren't good for this, and when I'm done playing around, I will probably get an external SSD for this purpose instead.

8gb is not a lot for this, but I like the challenge.

At first I wasted another evening trying to make Slax boot. I gave up and found Poppy Linux instead, since I do want the tiny and persistent kind of installation. It's a bit slow to boot into ram, but it's nice and quick once at the desktop.

For a DAW I got Reaper working just fine simply by extracting the files from the official webpage. No install required.

It recognized my MIDI devices and audio interface instantly. No issues at all, no missing dependencies or drivers or whatever, and better yet: It's still works after rebooting. I made a setup of the devices to control mixer actions in Reaper and that also saves fine as expected.

Now getting plugins is a bit of an issue. It seems that most people run Wine to use VSTs, but I decided to stick with free native Linux plugins and those are somewhat more difficult to find.

So far I've found Helm for a synth and LSP for a samples. I plan on recording real instruments mostly, so I only need the essential stuff.

I was pleasantly surprised that the linux download for LSP also ships with a bunch of effect plug-ins. Highly recommended: https://lsp-plug.in/index.php

I have yet to make any music other than test tracks, but it seems that my idea works so far. The installation is completely independent of which computer I have available, so I guess I will be using Linux in one way or the other to make music going forwards.

Manually switching from all/unread seems to work and clears the read messages
