Drum machines are instruments. Even if sequenced, drum machines are live instruments and they require skill. It requires time to master. It's not only "programmed loop".

When I play the drum machine, I program it live. I never play the same thing twice. It IS a performance. It applies for both vintage drum machines (such as E-mu drumulator or tr808) and new gen ones or grooveboxes (such as Electribes or Octatracks).

OBS seems fine

UN Watch is an israeli lobby... It's basically a fake think tank. It's exactly the point of the linked article...

Can you name a country that targeted and killed deliberately more than 360 journalists in less than 3 years ?

According to UN, reporters without borders, Stop Killing Journalists, International Federation of Journalists, and the Committee to Protect Journalists.

Israel has killed more journalists in 180 days than all major conflicts around the world since World War 1.

Israel has colonized Palestine for over 70 years. Israel invaded Gaza after they flattened it.

Palestinians accepted almost all peace deals, they freed the hostages, yet, Israel kept on bombing Gaza, targeting journalists and civilians.

It seems that the biggest problem is that Israel doesn't want a palestinian state and if they need to commit a genocide, they'll be glad to do it.

You think Meta would spy less on us and show us less ads if we payed to access their services ? They would just keep doing what they've been doing for ages and they would have even more money to keep their enshitification going.

We are already paying too much for all the services with subscription. Like Spotify, Netflix and others...

Yet, Plaion and SNK are re-releasing the original Neo Geo AES with old big cartridges and they managed to be the best selling console on Amazon for a few weeks. They plan to release new games on 1:1 replica cartridges that will work on a 1991 console. The pre-orders are massive.

Consumers are actually pushing back. Consumers show that even an 35 years old console and 90€ games can sell easily if it comes in a big beautiful box and with the assurance you'll be able to play in 15 years.

Same as killing Palestinian and Yemeni kids if some westerner need a transplant, I guess ?

That's great to read. I've used Windows for years for music production and recording, due to lot's of audio interfaces which performed best on Windows than on Mac and Linux.

In lot's of recording studio I went, they almost always have Windows with Cubase in a case of something wrong with Mac and Pro Tools.

Being African doesn't mean being less educated or less ambitious, nor living closer to "traditional lifestyle" whatever it is supposed to mean.

After trying to school me about my country, you know try to school me about my own family... My great-father fought against France during the war in 60s. My mother grew up during the algerian civil war. One of the refugee I had at home was reduced in slavery in 2015 (he was 17).

You want a time when humans were less racist ? Well.. I don't know.. Perhaps few years ago when far-right racist parties in Europe made up less than 30% in votes.

> If anyone feels negative, I recommend seeing a psychologist. There is no reason for anyone not to feel exceptionally optimistic about the future these days!

This is your point and I don't agree. Saying things are the best they've been is wrong. Things are the best for you. Not for "the vast majority of us". It is the best for the small minority. And no. It's not improving every day. In my first comment, I posted links with number of slaves all around the world and migrants dying, growing year after year.

Please, understand that while you feel optimistic, the majority of us, don't. Saying that we should see a psychologist is just rude. It seems that you are unable to understand other people feelings, thus, I would recommend you to see a psychologist.

I play fighting games. Didn't even bother to try 2XKO on Windows because I knew I won't be able to play on Linux due to Vanguard.

Have you ever tried to seek for basic rights and support for migrants in EU ? I help lot's of immigrants in France. I'm always told that France is very generous and that it's easy to have healthcare, easy to go to a doctor for free.

Yet, in my experience, it's horribly difficult and expensive.

It is a consensus among sociological studies. Statistics are not studies. It means nothing.

Let's find another tool that enables the same, while not doating money to a racist political party.
