Wow, Audacity 4 is looking good! Breaks the stereotype of open source. 🎧
I'm hopeful for a new era of open source becoming pro: Blender, OBS, my new fav Kdenlive. I like GIMP and Inkscape, but not sure these are there yet. Any other examples of open source gone pro?

As someone who grew up on 4chan as a despondent highly-online teen, who was inspired to "do it for the lulz", who rejected empathy as making you weak, I'm grateful in my childhood that 4chan wasn't active in meme-ifying politics. Had I grown up on the internet 10 years later, who would I be? 🐸
I understand some of you don't have TikTok, but if you do, know that the explanation below is the best I've seen of what lay behind the Kirk assassination.

It was a shitpost. Check out Know Your Meme for more of the history on it, or john ganz, or my newsletter #kirk #owo
