... Which is the device they specifically mention regarding /e/os in the article.

Oof, seriously. And /e/os is an odd recommendation over graphene.

Right now it's got some private info in there, but I've been meaning to make it sanitized to share, so I'll let you know

Phenomenal, thank you!

If you do find it let me know, I'd love to see it! I really do have about 20 hours of training in networking I give to folks, and since it's literally 20 hours of information, I like to put in fun stuff.

Like a picture of a facemask I added during COVID with "stay at 127.0.0.1, don't 255.255.255.255". Super cheesy but at least it's a mental distraction from information overload haha

Well this is going in my "basics of networking" presentation.

I get that, there is a list of Linux friendly vsts out there that work well. I think they have a link to the list, but I don't really use drums in my workflow so couldn't give you any examples unfortunately. I did have to go into windows for some work stuff where I needed a specific vst though, definitely understand the issue.

No, just a nag. If you're recording/editing a few times a year, it won't be a bother. If you're in there often, it's worth the few bucks.

FOSS is always a better option, as of today I don't think anything compares. And since they aren't a big company doing shady things, the licensed version is permanent, no big company buyout is going to impact anything other than upgrades.

Just to mention a not-foss, but extremely well done DAW, cheap ($60 personal use, $225 commercial) and goes through 2 major versions before you'd need to pay again, free to download and try WinRAR style, supported on windows, macos, and Linux, etc, etc - reaper.

If you need a solid DAW, with support for all kinds of plugins and a dev team that's not a bag of dicks trying to screw you over with a cloud subscription and AI, this is it.

If I remember right on that one, users had even paid to have their data removed, too. But it was stored unencrypted. And that settlement included unidentified users which the money was going to be held onto for them to put ads in magazines or something. Wild.

The huge, nearly billion dollar Facebook settlement was something like $50/person. Google's privacy class action suit was like $10 per person.

And boy oh boy can we be sure they learned their lesson! Facebook and Google haven't done anything shady with private information since, right?
