Part of the reason I love dubstep/riddim so much is because of plate/dubplate/pl8 culture and how it directly supports producers without requiring they be touring DJs, and helps DJs stand out by having those one off tracks.

Good shit

It's interesting how the word 'dubplate' has evolved. For most of us, it's known as an acetate cut one off. For others, if it isn't cut in Kingston by a select person at one spot, it isn't a true dub (People from the Windrush generation who brought sound system culture, etc to the UK would say this)

I genuinely feel like I should be able to take any of these fucking "Windows Home S" laptop bullshit computers I keep getting put in front of for my customers and be like "Fam... y'all have sued these people for way less.... wtf"

Health care facility. ~25 computers, half on windows 10, a couple in windows 7, rest on Win 11 Home S.

No domain controller. No password policies. No backups. No antivirus. Fuck even the guest WiFi was sharing the same network as the staff computers.

FUCKING NIGHTMARE FUEL

People (me included) acting like every-time someone vents their emotions online is doing a call-to-arms is really fucking exhausting fam... there's legitimately better shit to spend that energy on right now.

the actual story here, which the media never talks about, is that police in this country have become a discrete right-wing political operation. the story isn't about cops leaving (they're lying about that), it's about the police trying to exert influence over elections.

Lmao is this supposed to be a bad thing?

A tweet from Bari Weiss that says “"It's shaken me to my core," a lieutenant said of Mamdani's unexpected victory in June. "The absolute dread I feel is palpable.
"
Today in @TheFP our @Olivia_Reingold talks to the cops who say they will walk if Zohran Mamdani is elected in November:”

shit is specific to VRchat raving fam... not software in general

though I will till say that any "spatialized" audio solution I've ever used for a gaming headset, or earpods has been fucking trash too. I don't think that's a hot take at all.... pretty common actually

Stop shoving realism down everyone’s throats to the detriment of those that want to actually enjoy being in your spaces.

[1725] Spatialized audio volume significantly quieter on steam audio | Steam Audio Open Beta | VRChat

Spatialized audio is significantly quieter, maybe 20/40% of what it should be, only on the steam audio beta. Seems to have only started happening in this

See I just tried dropping the steam-audio beta and I’m still having the issue like 50/50?

It’s 100% of the time in steam-audio, but seems not the root cause for me?

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera

In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion.

As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.
