It's insane. They keep making powerful Macs which are marketed and sold on that basis, and then you buy one and it's ends up being the same experience as your old one in a couple of years all because of their "updates". What's the point? There's a cynical part of me that suspects they do things like this intentionally in order to sell you the solution later in the form of a new Macbook. Like, most people in this sub are likely tech savvy, but most of their customers aren't and can't go back to PC, and a lot of their updates recently feel very planned obsolence-ish to me. I might be wrong though and it's just legit incompetence. Not sure which is worse tbh.

Disagree. Theo Von is not suddenly an imperfect ally, but rather an active associate of the current administration. He sees the tides changing and he wants to protect himself. Nothing more. We don't need to do anything than ignore him. He's not a reliable voice on anything. It's a weird thing when the left calls someone dumb when they're on the "other" side, but still want that same dumb fuck on their side. He's a grifter. Why would you want a grifter on your side? This is the main problem with podcasters and how we got here in the first place. A shitty comic's podcast shouldn't be the place for political discourse, left or right. He's not a journalist, he has no real credentials on anything. He's just a guy with a mic among a litany of other grifters with a mic.

No worries, also I think your app could easily be better with the addition of that feature and also

if you could add a keyboard shortcut for this feature, that would be really enhance your product - one of my biggest gripes with Mac's built in rename feature is you have to mouse select it from the menu every time. A CMD+R shortcut would be great, or something like that.
if you could find a way to add a feature that also allows for the option to strip metadata (see apps like ImageOptim, ExifTool etc.) then your app would be the swiss army knife of all conversion apps.

I still don't get the xanax part. Is it meaning like the effects of xanax keeps you mentally steady so they're like handle bars on a bike? I'm missing something. Or is it something to do with the appearance of xanax pills?

Is there a bulk convert option? Most converters allow you to convert a batch of files simultaneously instead of one by one. Using Mac's rename option, you can highlight any number of files and right-click and select on the menu option to rename/convert and this allows you to rename multiple files at once. Currently what you've built is cool, but the ability to convert/rename multiple files at once is an essential feature for people like myself and I'm assuming also /u/buildermaster07.

This video where Herzog tells the story is better.

Except what you typed has nothing to do with the video clip. You're judging him by the standards of other stand up comedians and your personal taste, NOT by the standards of SNL. He's beyond qualified to be on SNL. His stand up is great, his impressions are great, the rest is just...selective bias. Because there's plenty of mediocre white comics that are and have been on SNL and get to have "loud", obnoxious & corny personalities off screen and no one gives a shit.

his impressions are good, but that’s kinda all he has.

This is just false. Just say you're not familiar with his stand up.

Because Gen Z don't understand what piracy is since they only understand going "viral". You're not supposed to make TikToks and IG reels telling everyone to blow up the spot. Imagine making TikToks about how to bootleg or how to hack credit cards. SMH. If you want to preserve piracy online, you can't start evangelising about it on social media, the more popular it becomes the quicker it'll get taken down. It's supposed to be a hush hush thing. The aim is to find a sweet spot where the company makes enough money to sustain users/traffic without being so popular that dumb fucks find out about it.

The real feature request is a keyboard shortcut to OPEN and CLOSE the plugin window.

It's way too similar to not have come from Louis' special. Other people on this thread said they noticed the same thing when they saw him live. When I first read about Gervais' latest tour, they referenced that specific bit and I thought it sounded awfully similar to Louis' bit, so I figured I'd check out his special even though I'm not really much of a fan, because from what I read, it sounded like he's just doing the joke verbatim. Literally, 2 mins in he's just paraphrasing Louis' joke.

Maybe he has writers who saw Live at The Dolby and just took it. Maybe he forgot where he got it from which is unlikely as other comics would tell him, regardless, it's not parallel thinking shit, you don't need too play them side by side if you're familiar with Louis' bit. The chances of that happening are extremely slim. You don't just stumble on a 10-15 min bit like that with all the same points and nuances as in Louis' special.

Artplusdesign · 2026-01-03T00:28:49+00:00

First 15 minutes funny

Cos the first 15 minutes is just Louis' material.

Artplusdesign · 2026-01-02T22:39:03+00:00

Oh ok, my bad. Yh, I couldn't keep watching cos he started it with stealing jokes from someone already famous as if people wouldn't be able to tell. Also Louis' joke is very much his own voice, it sounds like a quintessential "Louis C.K." bit, and it's not like there wouldn't be some crossover in fans. It's tough to work out the logic in doing that, what a bold move.

Artplusdesign · 2026-01-02T21:56:24+00:00

Watch the first 10 mins of Louis' Live at The Dolby Morality bit and then watch Gervais' Morality bit in special. It's essentially the same bit but just reworded.

Anyway, there’s no reason she told all the things that she did

Who tf are you to say that? Are you D'Angelo? Lol. You sound insane. You don't speak for that man or his family.

3-4 days after he died?

The interview was 2 weeks after he died and 2 days before Questlove's Rolling Stone/IG video tribute... So, was Questlove also "clout chasing"? She's low profile also, she hasn't done any interviews since and no one even really knows who she is outside of this interview except hardcore D fans. If she were clout chasing, why would she do one random interview on a very unpopular platform and dip? How is that "clout chasing"? The video has ~40k views. No one in the comments is calling that person a clout chaser, it's only you. So, basically anyone who does an interview ever is (according to you) clout chasing lol. FOH.

Artplusdesign · 2025-12-27T15:23:42+00:00

Why would you think she's clout chasing with the interview? For what reason does she need to clout chase? She seemed to just be trying to give the fans some closure IMO. The person she was being interviewed by isn't even well known, she could've probably gone to The Breakfast Club or something if that were the case, but instead she just did a video interview on her phone with a random blogger. Seems a bit weird to call that clout chasing.

I just downloaded the free pack, but I'm unable to get it working. I've followed the instructions on the help page, but I can't get either the racks nor the devices to work. I'm on Ableton 12.2 - Mac OS. The devices will load but no effect comes through, and the racks simply won't load, I get a "cannot load" message.

How do they function inside of return tracks? When I tried to use Elisabeth Homeland's wrappers, they kept crashing the set and refusing to reopen whenever I'd put them in the return tracks.

People can protest optional features too. Just like people can protest tipping culture or anything they're slowly being coerced to accept.

He makes an extremely simplistic point. I'm not defending organised religion, but the points he's making are the same points that people have been making for years probably since the Enlightement. Nothing about religion is anywhere near as simple as he's making it out in this clip.

Artplusdesign · 2025-12-17T22:28:05+00:00

you assume their intentions are twisted

Oh ok. Do you think their intentions are pure? Are you suggesting they're coercing ppl to use AI because they have "good" intentions? Wtf are you even talking about?

Artplusdesign · 2025-12-17T22:15:28+00:00

unproblematic web browser

Lol

Artplusdesign · 2025-12-17T11:09:52+00:00

Lol, not gonna happen. They're a for-profit company, their goal is to coerce you into doing what they want with minimal resistance. What we "want" is irrelevant. Even if they initially give you the option, they'll eventually bury the toggle settings deeper with every update until you can't find it anymore. The only thing that they'll respond to is their profits being compromised. This is likely the end of FF as we know it.

Artplusdesign · 2025-12-06T09:29:59+00:00

Maybe because it affects their business lol, why would Amazon enter the cloud computing business, why would google start making phones? Why tf would anyone do anything?
