When it comes to US politics, why do the majority of people like to stay in their echo chambers? (serious)
  • I’ll tell you why I’m pretty liberal with my block button and cool with my echo chamber. There are people out there who want me dead for liking my same sex. My trans friends are being legislated against / threatened with violence not because of science or health, but because of feelings and religion. I have family that emigrated legally being exposed to horrific racism and the threat of violence.

    Do you support human rights? Or do you support death to the “other” ? Makes my choices easy. Not to mention I prefer actual truth to my information sources, not tabloid fluff designed to keep me enraged.

  • ps6 expected to be released around 2026
  • Umm, correct me if this seems like a bad take…but is there a need for a new console generation considering the overlap of the xbone/ps4 with this gen? Only the Nintendo Switch is in dire need of a hardware upgrade, especially with handheld gaming computers like Steam Deck offering much needed competition.

  • Samsung will soon release new affordable Galaxy Watch FE smartwatches. What we know about them •
  • So Pine 64 has a PineTime watch that is pretty nifty if people want sans spying techwear. Very basic and very alpha/beta mode…but it gets better every so often! More people use it or know about it, the more development it gets!

  • Karl Marx isn’t really random, he is the godfather of communism. Now I am not a full blown communist by any means but Karl Marx was a really smart dude who correctly saw and anticipated the negative effects of capitalism. It’s ok to disagree, I respect that completely but I’d ask we keep it civil.

  • I get what your saying completely. I don’t disagree per se actually (my brain tells me we just have lived in a crazy time for the past couple hundred years, guns are super prolific.). I would love if the police disarmed as well.

  • Favorite Sega Saturn games and accessories?
  • Dude I did a play through about 4 years ago. It holds up to this day! Fucking fun game, and the color indicator around the enemies was a genius move. Makes it almost like a rhythm game.

    Dang, I really need to get another light gun set up lol

  • Favorite Sega Saturn games and accessories?
  • I really enjoyed Radiant Silvergun. Just a nice well done shoot ‘em up.

    Also partial to Albert Odyssey. The translation is remarkably bad but it did have a nice story and some sweet sprite work. Standard JRPG fair.

    The best for me was the Panzer Dragoon series. All 3 are just top notch bangers.

  • Normally I would just let it slide, but I’m bored so why not have some discourse :)

    1. I do not own fire arms personally due to mental health issues. I do carry pepper spray and have a taser readily available. Worst case scenario a bow I use for hunting.

    2. There are legitimate uses for fire arms full stop. Protection against bodily threats, hunting, tyrannical government, etc.

    3. I support universal background checks and “common sense gun regulation”. It is a dangerous tool, but it is still just a tool. I’d love to see mandatory fire arm safety training before attempting to buy a gun.

    4. Workers rights are bogged down because of hierarchical systems designed towards uplifting the few and the expense of the many.

    Why should the government have exclusive use of violence? In any case, the eventual goal (for me personally and people like me) is peace and liberty. Until that happens the working class must have access to fire arms. The people who should not own guns are those with mental health issues, and access should be limited to trained/responsible individuals.

  • Microsoft starts testing ads in the Windows 11 Start menu
  • So Microsoft is one of the most valuable companies in the entire world. They have a stranglehold on corporate America, power a huge the cloud infrastructure, hold one of the largest sources of telemetry/user data, and are the defacto standard of PC environments worldwide.

    Why in the fuck do they need to pivot to ads? I’m genuinely curious. Even if they lost 50% of their entire business they would still be one of the most profitable companies in the world.

  • Effect Pedals With Synths

    Figured I'd start a discussion on favorite effects on synths. It's a ton of fun to run SQ-80 through the Hologram Microcosm using its granular function. The built in reverb really smears the grain clouds creating a dope ambience.

    How are y'all using your effects? Good combo's?

    EndeavorOS for audio production and gaming?

    Hello everyone! Right now I use Apple mainly but I do have experience with Ubuntu Studio. I’m migrating back and forth but I feel the hard switch is coming. I’ve just found that Ubuntu Studio throws problems left and right with audio production, but I have great luck with gaming.

    So I kinda want to start over and Endeavor seems cool. Would I be able to use Endeavor/Arch for both making music AND gaming?

    For what it’s worth, I use live recording and plugins for my music.
