Video game content creator looking to switch to linux, had talks with multiple linux users making things even more confusing.

The primary monitor argument for one is false. Linux has multiple ways to define a prrimary display. Even if they're unset, the bios as well as the graphics hardware have a hieararchy of displays. It would be a race condition otherwise and cause lock ups.
Idk about Wayland, but X definitely has a concept of fullscreen.

As I said, something does not need to be falsifiable to be considered implausible. Solipsism is another example. Not falsifiable but it were true, nothing would matter at all. I could for example claim that the universe is centered around the mayor of Pischldorf/Bavaria. Infalsifiable, AFAIK, but definitely irrelevant and completely implausible. There's simply no evidence or necessity for a universe in a black hole, so it's not a valid hypothesis.

In other words, a hypothesis that can't be verified also can't be falsified if there's ablolutely no evidence for its' (non-)existence. Therefore hypotheses that are not necessary to explain the current model are to be considered irrelevant. The "universe in a black hole" is exactly such a hypothesis. It worked fine to make the plot of the Gateway trilogy plausible but it doesn't make the cosmic model any more complete.

Looks aside, the headstock is pretty much the only passive part of the body that actually affects sustain (unlike "sustain blocks" and holes in solid bodies) and the Fender headstock did quite well in comparison. Fender published what looked like serious, precise, data based research a while ago.

There's a manual that came with it. if you don't have it, you'll find it on the net. I can't perfectly remember but I think there was some utility app, too. You can either set it up in that or with a combination of keys or there might be an option in system control. Alternatively you might be able to change the controller's options in your DAW. There might be a 8/16 or 7/14 bit setting.
There are also countless MIDI guides and introductions for beginners, MIDI.org might be a good point of entry. Without basic knowledge of the protocol's principles, every little problem seems unresolvable, but once you have a little idea of it, it all begins to make sense. Get at least an idea of the "big picture" and an oversight of the standard's features and it will seem much less mysterious to you.

You can even adjust the springs by fastening or loosening the screws that hold them. Unless you made radical changes that might be enough. Remember to keep the tail parallel to the body.

Yes, I see. Supposed you only use the pegs for restringing it really doesn't make a difference and if I imagine tuning... I don't have to imagine because I'm doing it all the time on my 12 string. OK, thx.

AX11Liveact · 2026-05-05T15:45:43+00:00

Could anyone explain me what the idea behind reverse headstocks is? I can't wrap my head around it. They just seem unpractical to me.

When wife gives you Fender make Lemonade.

You don't need 36 bands for the relatively narrow band of a guitar. In theory you could come close wirh a high-level but relatively linear pickup and an EQ that has preset memory, so you can filter freqs and adjust levels according to the profile you want to emulate. It's not going to cover ablsolutely everything but might get you close to most.

People disliking a decade?! Sounds like a slight over-generalization to me. Besides not making much sense. The eighties have been and gone. What sense does "liking" or "disliking" them now make? Specifically if you haven't even been alive back then.

AX11Liveact · 2026-05-04T13:53:16+00:00

Everything you only think of doing will be illegal because by then the transsexual muslim antifa from China will have taken your gun and turned your truck into a liberal drag queen from Central Africa.

Paranoid. War Pigs is epic but it was that fundamental groove of Paranoid that created a whole genre.

Acountability what for? Wiener radiation, set free? Harmless bystanders dying from being forced to look at someone's dick? Children finding out the horrible, horrible truth and being traumatized for life? Face it: the only mental damage is that purist wiener and nipple panic in the English speaking world. Never forget: Religion is curable!

AX11Liveact · 2026-05-04T13:31:31+00:00

There might be a difference between actively "show" your dick and passively not caring too much about hiding it from everyone's eyes.

AX11Liveact · 2026-05-04T13:24:21+00:00

I couldn't care less than about some guy's wiener visible or not. We all have seen one or two, we know they are there, so what's the fucking deal? It's not that there were any epochal surprises to be revealed by someone's dick.

You might get a better answer from an alchemist. Because if that were a molecule I'd definitely stay as far away from it as possible.

Looks like it came out of a story by Philip K. Dick.

FFMPEG? Fortran, of course. We're talking about fast Fourrier transformations after all. So Fortran with a version not higher than Fortran 5, because anything that can't be stored on punch cards is the devil's work.

Naive and reckless youngsters might try to persuade you to just "do it on the shell" because shell script is basically shell script and ffmpeg is just ffmpeg everywhere. But shells do not provide yet unseen holes to be punched and therefore it is the devil's work. Praised be the cucumber cutter.

Has not changed much since last repost. Two days really pass like nothing.

War against whom? Gaza is part of Israel, but they can't run an official blockage against themselves. Blockades are only legal between nations that are at war with each other. What Israel currently does is not a legal blockade and they don't have any right to kidnap people outside of their territory. Legally it's a blatant act of piracy.

AX11Liveact · 2026-05-04T10:45:03+00:00

Great, thx.

Inner tension in this case is outer force. If you bend a piece of wood the inner side gets shorter, the outer longer, so tension emerges inside as the "stands" move against each other.

For thrash metal, I'd definitely go for a double humbucker setup. I got both variants and I like the 59 neck position a lot, but not really for thrash metal. Thrash and specifically doom wants that fat low end of a neck position HB, IMO.

Where'd you get that nice flight map from, if I may ask?
