Please read the first comment in this chain again.

Sounds familiar… oh, right, from my comment this entire chain is from.

I won’t actually be going to apple, but to a linuxphone, but saying Apple is probably going to have more impact so I went with that.

Is it relevant to complaining to google about their stupid decision they are trying to brush off as if it were nothing?

Because I assume you (and others) are missing the entire point of my comment.

There is a feedback form linked directly in the blog post. Use it. Let them know this would impact their income.

If we’re talking about loading apps - as in the subject of this post - pretty much exactly the same. Registered developer account, a walled garden ecosystem, etc.

…

both are part of the problem

As far as I can tell, healthcare is not “fixed” or even “back on track”. You’d be hard-pressed to find another industry as loathed as insurance for healthcare, too.

It still wouldn’t address the issues in the linked article, which is much more widespread and specifically includes those celebrity ceo’s.

Charlie Kirk was the cofounder and CEO of Turning Point.

Sam Altman, Elon Musk, the McMahons, Mark Zuckerberg…

Irrelevant when both are part of the same problem.

Edit: also LOL at removal for “promoting violence” given the actual article being discussed.

You could do what I did and let them know via feedback that you’ll be leaving for Apple since its the same thing now.

I won’t actually be going to apple, but to a linuxphone, but saying Apple is probably going to have more impact so I went with that.

Edit: This is feedback to them linked in that page.

If you have a dev account, I recommend using it to give them feedback.

Linux is a good way forward if you want to try it and keep the fireface. Ubuntu is not my favorite base, but Ubuntu Studio (I’d suggest the LTS if you don’t need the latest and greatest all the time) is nicely set up, but I’d make one change from their preinstalled and I’d use Reaper over Ardour, but thats me.

Your biggest headache will be plugins if you’ve got a ton of vst’s, not all will work on linux.

PCI + BoB is what I had

I still have my FireWire card as I mentioned, but its only for that VHS + minidv deck (well and my old canon camcorder which does better with some of my minidvs. This process is going to take me years, I have so many to get through…)

That doesn’t have a Firewire interface, does it? I thought I had one of those.

checks

Oh, I’m thinking of the 1010LT, not the 1010. That lives on a PCI card.

No I’m talking about the PCI card, just commenting on the longevity of some devices. I know two people still using FireWire for their interfaces in spare kit (RME fire faces), which got me thinking of some of my old kit I’ve replaced like the delta1010.

These days I’m mostly pushing dante around

I have a feeling its mostly due to some audio and video hardware that has some real longevity. I’ve got a VHS+minidv player that I am transferring old videos from using FireWire (well, for the minidv. VHS is s-video capture).

I’m just passing a FireWire PCI card through to a VM though. Though with how old the box is, it doesnt really need to be a VM. Thats a whole different discussion though.

I had some FireWire audio interfaces too, 8ch and 16ch, but I got rid of those a while back. I’m sure someone’s making use of it though! Probably the m-audio delta 1010 I sold too, I think they are still going for a few hundred each despite being so long in the tooth.

What exactly are you basing that on?

The parishioners have commented that they didnt know the guy, that he had camo pants on, came in with an assault rifle, and that the truck the suspect drove into the church with had a bunch of American flags on it.

The suspect lives in Burton (~90% white) which is even less diverse than Grand Blanc (~80% white), and with shootings at religious institutions, they are usually closely linked to that church (which is currently being investigated).

Edit: The truck used apparently had an Iraqi Conflict veteran license plate, in addition to what I mentioned above.

Ideally? I’d say something with support for 2 drives, mirrored.

Without a price to define “not crazy expensive”, I’d say take a look at QNAP and Synology 2-bay devices, pick what fits the price range. I’d put it on the network and mount it on the PCs you want to as a drive to drop things in.

Then I’d add one more thing - 3-2-1 for anything critical.

• Three copies of all critical data should be made on a regular basis. Original data + at least two backups
• Two different storage types should be used to store the data to minimize the chance of failure.
• One offsite location. Could be an encrypted copy of a backup on cloud storage, could be a drive at another home.

How critical data is would be up to you and your parents, I just want to note that a single backup at your home is not going to be helpful if there is flooding or a fire or whatever that would damage both the originals and the backup device.

Video playback of local media server (jellyfin), gaming (emulators mostly, and some old games), kids games (gcompris), podcast and audiobook playback (audiobookshelf).

Thats what runs on mine at least.

Andrea Baccarelli, the dean of the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health, received at least $150,000 as an expert witness during several lawsuits aimed at Kenvue, the maker of Tylenol, federal court filings reviewed by the newspaper show.

It’s a glaring conflict of interest, and a worrying example of how the Trump administration is using quack science to further a pseudoscientific agenda. Worse yet, it’s using baseless evidence linked to civil litigation to justify its claims.

A federal judge dismissed the suits aimed at the Tylenol maker, which were filed by families who claimed their children developed autism or ADHD after using Tylenol during pregnancy. The judge cited a lack of reliable scientific evidence and agreed with the defendants that Baccarelli had “cherry-picked and misrepresented study results,” according to the NYT.

Its possible, sure.

But I’d also point out those aren’t the only three names in this new set of documents. Bill Gates is in there, another with Rich Kahn (Epstein accountant, who just last year along with Darren Indyke, espteins lawyer, tried to prevent themselves from being named in suits by victims), researchers like Joscha Bach, his lead attorney Reid Weingarten, etc.

This is only evidence of association, and not of crimes. There are quite a few names in these ledgers, Thiel, Musk, and Bannon are notable because its new information and well known names.

Edit: I’d add two other items - fully unredacted would just mean the victims will get targeted again, and that republicans are more than welcome to vote to release more details. They constantly keep blocking it.

Probably because of things like this:

https://www.dailykos.com/stories/2025/8/21/2339592/-Republican-Sexual-Predators-Abusers-and-Enablers-Pt-57

Which is now up to part 57. I’ve yet to see a similar list of democrats, but considering the religious right, I do say its far more likely to see a lot of republicans with Epstein and committing crimes than democrats. So we’ll probably see a few more democrats at some point, but I think the numbers will lean heavily republican because they are just more likely.

Redacting the names of victims is entirely appropriate and right.
