You’re right, the shaping outcomes part is especially well put. The dispiriting thing is that as long as we’re not the ones being fucked over I don’t see my colleagues giving much of a shit about organizing. They’re generally happy about the company. The problem here is the effect our work has on other people.
I feel this, that’s my usual attitude. This time I didn’t manage to keep the anger under control I guess.
Unfortunately we’re not the highly unionized workforce in question. We’re the tech contractor they want to replace said highly unionized workforce with. We’re not unionized and I don’t see the majority of my colleagues giving a shit except for a couple likeminded people. It’s bleak 
We all cope in different ways, don’t stress

Looking forward to a bountiful slop harvest this season
That looks absolutely delicious I’m hungry now
Critical support to the Amsterdam taxi drivers who made some zionazis take a swim
I love that this joke has been alive since ye olden days of the subreddit, I had a nostalgic moment reading it…
Thought about this exact video as well.
Communism is when indentured servitude.

No. As a rule of thumb whenever the EU does something half decent it’s either by necessity or accident.
Tech companies are already lobbying hard at both the European and national levels. The recent AI Act looks like it’s written more by policy wonks who drank the AI industry’s Kool-Aid than by actual experts in the field. On one side they want to cut funding to NGI0, one of the few genuinely good things the EU did in recent memory, which - among other things - funds Lemmy development, and costs pennies at the scale of the EU budgets. On the other they’re planning to pump ungodly amounts of money into “the AI industry” - whatever the fuck that is - because they got sold on GenAI being the next big thing and they don’t want to be left behind.
In EU policy for every half decent thing like the GDPR the are many ChatControls and similarly terrible ideas.
Happy to be of service. Zhug by itself is a pretty strong sauce so you use small quantities of it, but you can make it into more of a dip by mixing it with about two parts of yoghurt (vegan yoghurt works fine too).
I see your Toum and I raise Yemen’s Zhug: another absolutely banging middle eastern condiment. It’s easy af to make, you can decide how spicy you want it, and it rips. I put it on basically anything.
We appreciate your commitment to quality posting O7
Awesome writeup. I knew the whole ST suite is used in loads of mainstream tracks, but I didn’t know those specific examples. I’ve long had the feeling that 10 d E A T h b R E a s T ⚄ ⚄ by Bon Iver also uses it for the fucked up drums, although don’t quote me on it.
And yeah, Decapitator specifically has a character to its sound that I just haven’t found in any other plugin. In techno I would throw it on almost any channel on a low setting just to add a little bite to stuff. It also sounds good at almost any setting, from barely noticeable warmth to completely mangling sounds. I really like others in the suite too, for specific needs, but that one is the only really unreplaceable one.
If you could help me get my hands on a good crack I’d be eternally grateful, but otherwise no stress.
Switched to a Mac recently and I cannot find a working crack of the Soundtoys suite for it, I am devastated. Decapitator was one of my most used plugins…
Apparently the government is using the excuse of the current emergency situation to ban a much larger protest scheduled in Utrecht against cuts to university funding. I think the fascist hooligans were too macho to get their asses beat intentionally, but stirring shit up sure was convenient.
