Analog connections are very universal. You don't need to deal with handshakes between devices, sample rate differences, clock systems etc. because each device receives and outputs analog signal via mostly the same 1/4" jacks and plugs.

While a digital signal chain would have overall latency benefits and fewer A/D/A conversions, it just doesn't matter that much with modern hardware.

It's been a rough year and I came very close to being furloughed. Managed to get a new client just at the right time and now I'm thriving again. I'm thankful for having frankly a lot of luck over the years which has put me where I am today. I'm not saying hard work wasn't important too, but sheer luck has been helpful too.

You would think the Internet and access to an unprecedented amount of information would have made us smarter, more emphatic, and so on.

But it turns out people are easily misled and manipulated. Social media quickly starts to feed you more of the same crap just because you watched one video. Village idiots can now form echo chambers with like-minded individuals, e.g flat Earth believers.

Those who want power will take advantage of people who fall into all this.

Yeah it's surprisingly good. Not sure if the gameplay can carry the whole game but I enjoyed it. Nails the vibe of the movies.

That's basically Saints Row 4.

This fits OP's description perfectly. Great game. It's on PS+ if you play on Playstation 4 or 5.

Exactly. The amount of /r/adviceanimals level pure shit content on Reddit is high, paired with the bots that repost things until they start hocking some crypto bullshit links.

But I have kept using Reddit for years because every once in a while, you see someone write thoughtful posts about some niche subject you didn't even know existed. That's always interesting.

Lemmy is at a state where it needs more users writing about things that interest them.

Relay Pro just went to subscription, so the last 3rd party Reddit app is gone. I will probably read Lemmy much more on mobile from now on and hope it picks up steam.

To me Liftoff looks a lot more cluttered than Jerboa.

Loved Boost for Reddit.

The ability to mute any sound I hear. Baby crying, annoying hum, someone snoring, obnoxious drunk? Muted.

Yes I think SSO would be a benefit.

People are generally used to doing one of these:

1. "Go to this website and register an account." This is e.g Reddit.
2. "Go to this website, register an account and you can access all these other services too". This is stuff that Meta, Google etc offer via SSO. SSO is largely invisibile to the end user.

Fediverse at the moment has a lot of "huh, why do different instances have different stuff and why can't I just access all of that? Oh, I can? But why is it so complicated? Why can't I just use it from one place?" that is definitely a hindrance to adoption until enough people are there to tell "do it like this" or the system becomes more user friendly and abstracts some of the inconveniences.

As it is, e.g Lemmy can't even do pagination right, so there's still a lot of work to be done before it's a polished experience.

Buying more gear so I can sound better. ;)

But seriously, I've been playing for a few decades but my theory knowledge sucks. I'm looking to improve that by learning to play keyboards. But it's kinda daunting to start all over on a new instrument even if you understand many things already.
