I'm pretty sure lots of people can't stop thinking about P25.....

They're trying to get a backpedal on the "no insulting the Russian people for their government's actions" rule

Nice try FBI....

awake at 4 am, and have to be at work at 7

This is just my life. I could probably stay in bed until 5.30 at the latest, but then I'd be in a rush, and might get fucked by traffic.

Thanks for reminding me to update

Like I replied to someone else FL has been "running well in wine" for ages now. I've just never managed to get it functioning at all, like I wasn't having audio issues or anything...because the one click wouldn't work for me, and manually setting it never worked for me either. It's been about 2 years now since I tried, and this recall bullshit means that if I can't get it running I'll just switch to something else and change my workflow.

FL studio has "worked well in wine" for ages now, I've never managed to get it properly functioning. Like I said, I'll give it another try, not willing to have recall running on my machines.

I've been using Fruityloops for over 20 years. I've tried loads of stuff, but my workflow is pretty stuck in the FL ecosystem. I haven't tried Ardour yet, definitely willing to give it a go, but when I'm in the mood to punch something out really quick, I already know all the keybinds, how things interact etc etc. I've started using Sunvox a bit. It's a modular synth/tracker runs one everything shy of an actual potato....I think doom is the only thing I know about that runs on more systems than Sunvox. But it's painful when I want to just diddle something quick that's stuck in my head.

Fuuuuuck....well....my laptop was my last windows device. It came with 11 installed, and the only reason I keep using 11 is because I have had no success in running my DAW in wine. Guess it's time to give it a go again....

How likely are you to not be able to access the internet at a UK border you might be traveling through? Seriously.

There's been quite a few times where I've not been able to access the internet through my phone at major airports in the UK. Heathrow, Luton, Glasgow. I didn't have an active UK SIM I wasn't able to get net connection through the WiFi as they were overloaded/having issues. This is not uncommon.

Also, have you heard of a download for offline usage?

See, it's not a multi-use thing, it's not like a membership card or a boarding pass or a credit card. It's a code that's generated by logging into the .gov site, and is only valid for a single use, and a limited time.

I'm a Canadian immigrant to the UK, from December 1st this year, all Residency proof documents are ~~formed~~ forced digital. As I'm Canadian I can just scan my passport and get in, no visa required. If border control pulls me aside and demands my proof of residency, and I can't access the internet, I may be stuck in a small room for hours or days, or ejected from the country. So that's gonna be fun.

Not much of a story really, just about a decade of it suggesting something completely different from what I was trying for.
