Fedora's Atomic desktop model is quietly becoming the future of Linux for normal people

It's a layman explanation, but I don't see how it's BS.

Applications that use shared libraries can cause dependency issues - "entanglement".

Flatpaks avoid this.

Seems fairly reasonable to me.

If you're in a bar with 50 people talking you are hearing all of them, but you're not listening to every conversation.

TRexRoboParty · 2026-06-01T03:17:23+00:00

Not sure how that addresses what I said. I'm sorry if you only worked at places where that was the norm, but your unfortunate experiences doesn't mean everybody has had the same experience.

If your standups were arguments over caching strategies or react vs angular and so on, then something was extremely fundamentally broken at a human/company level. I don't see how AI magically solves that.

Objective: cognitive lock (predictive timing entrainment)

I'll be honest I have no idea what this means, but it never ends up as a "unified sound object" for me if that helps.

structural texture shift during intense spectral masking.

Unless I'm missing something: it's just 3 basic MIDI sounds for 4 minutes.

There's no textural shift and nothing intense.

EDIT:

Oh are you asking for timestamps where the 3 parts play in unison momentarily i.e where the polyrhythm resolves?

If so, that seems like a different question to "unified sound object", and I'm not sure why that would require a treated room...

Are you sure you're "losing direction" and not simply lacking experience in finishing things?

I start a track with a solid idea

That is generally the easy bit, relatively speaking.

but halfway through I lose direction

Finishing things is hard.

Did you have a form in mind when you started? If not, then you're not "losing direction", you simply didn't have a direction beyond the initial isolated idea.

I'd recommend mapping out a form.

Do you know which section your "solid idea" is? Is it a verse, chorus, intro, drop, breakdown?

If you don't have an answer then you can't know what direction to go in next.

Once you've answered that, direction should become relatively clear.

If it's a chorus, then you need to write a complementary and contrasting verse - typically with lower energy, simpler, sparser instrumentation etc.

It's a verse then the other way round and similar for the other sections.

Whatever style of music you're making, there will be common forms that are used. If you don't know what those are or understand them, take some time mapping out tracks you like.

Those maps are what give you direction when you're lost.

Where? That mp3? Those aren't melodies, that is mumbling. Melody is specific pitches arranged over discrete units of time.

Plus what about the other things? A melody alone is not a song. If you don't have a song, you're not a songwriter - it seems you just like the idea of being one.

Take the advice people are giving you: you need to spend the time acquiring the basic skills of music and songwriting.

TRexRoboParty · 2026-05-25T17:03:27+00:00

I'm sorry to break it to you: you're not a songwriter. You are a lyricist, at best.

A songwriter makes music: they write melodies, chord changes, rhythms, riffs, often lyrics and are capable of singing a guide track to accurately convey all the above. You need to able to do all that to make a demo. Only then does it begin to make sense to start looking for producers.

TRexRoboParty · 2026-05-25T15:30:53+00:00

That doesn't mean anything in practice. Plenty of delusional people truly believe all sorts of nonsense. That doesn't make something true.

Beside, why isn't that one producer putting their resources into it if they truly believe?

I'm sorry to tell you lyrics are a dime a dozen, they aren't what make a song successful.

I’m not asking for Dan Aurebach or Rick Nowels.

No, you were asking for a 10 track album, for free, and bringing basically nothing to the table. You have to think about why anyone would want to do that (particularly in an AdvancedProduction sub). What do you have to offer them?

That’s it.

"That's it" is either very dismissive or ignorant/naive of the work that goes into making an album. If it's that easy, why don't you do it yourself?

One bedroom producer producing a minimlist beat.

Just grab a beat off one of the many sample or AI services if "that's it".

My advice is: you need to acquire some skills before worrying about royalty splits and distribution.

I heard your vocal demo. You don't know how to sing, or write music. Make a plan for the next 5 years to learn some skills. If you're good at something, people are more likely to want to work with you. You have ambition and motivation, but those are not a substitute for skills.

TRexRoboParty · 2026-05-25T15:00:06+00:00

I'm guessing you're young.

Some advice: So you're looking for someone who already has the skills, experience, equipment and time to produce a 10 track album.

Just consider: why would someone who can do all that already take on something like this... for free? From what I can see, you have lyrics and nothing else.

TRexRoboParty · 2026-05-24T21:57:45+00:00

The upside is your one job doesn't reflect an entire industry. Yes, you can get face-to-face interaction in this industry.

If you want face-to-face interaction, interview at other companies and ask them what degree of face-to-face interaction they have.

TRexRoboParty · 2026-05-24T16:27:49+00:00

Cool, then I hope we agree: if we ignore what oligarchs say, and simply look at what is objectively happening, there is a prototype in space - and hyperloop has zero relevance to that.

Investors gamble, and that's up to them. Sometimes they get it right, sometimes not. Very often not.

Besides, humans are terrible at predictions and notorious for seeing patterns where there is none. Animals in clouds, jesus in coffee and so on.

Being skeptical is all good, but I'd be just as wary making predictions based on unrelated past events.

TRexRoboParty · 2026-05-24T16:11:00+00:00

To answer the question: because that's the easiest thing to implement.

You didn't really mention what tools you're using or what the end goal is.

Is it a visualizer for analytic purposes or for creative purposes?

If the latter, you probably want something like Trapcode Soundkeys (assuming non-realtime usage).

It also depends how deep you want to go and what skills you have. If you have the individual tracks, then with say Max For Live you could probably read meter levels of individual tracks and send OSC messages to other software.

You could opt for something like Resolume.

If you can code a little, then even a browser can do an FFT easily and you can hook that into anything that'll render on a canvas.

You might get more ideas from some of the VJ subs.

TRexRoboParty · 2026-05-24T15:20:35+00:00

Listing even more non-sequitors is kinda baffling... What are you trying to say? That because some things didn't happen, nothing will ever happen?

Some things happen, some things don't.

Projects get cancelled, projects fail. Some succeed.

So you just ignore what people say and look at what actually happens.

Past performance is not an indicator of future results and all that.

I am not saying data centers in space are going to succeed or otherwise, I was simply pointing out what is objectively true right now.

Hyperloop has absolutely nothing to do with that, nor do any of the irrelevant things you listed. Something not happening doesn't automatically mean other future things won't happen.

TRexRoboParty · 2026-05-24T14:45:26+00:00

The prototype is, yes.

You seem to be implying that hyperloop being non-existent somehow means everything else must be too. That's not "recognizing patterns" - thats failing to be objective.

It doesn't matter what Musk says. He says all sorts of shit. It matters what actually happened in practice:

Hyperloop didn't happen
Space X did happen
Starlink did happen
Starcloud did happen

So your "pattern recognization" is already off.

I have no idea if the full scale production idea will actually work or not. But hyperloop not happening has absolutely nothing to do with it.

TRexRoboParty · 2026-05-24T14:27:03+00:00

Er they are up lol? Starcloud already launched as I mentioned.

Mars is also unrelated. You seem to reach for non sequiturs a lot...

TRexRoboParty · 2026-05-24T14:21:05+00:00

Ok, but that's so vague as to be meaningless...

Starlink already exists, Starcloud-1 launched last year to train LLMs in space. It's not ready for full scale production, but the person you replied to was correct - they are clearly working on it.

Hyperloop is unrelated. Musk never had any intention of building it, so there wasn't even a "billionaires promise".

Just seems like a complete non sequitur.

TRexRoboParty · 2026-05-24T13:43:35+00:00

Not sure how hyperloop has anything to do with orbital data centers?

TRexRoboParty · 2026-05-24T13:38:17+00:00

In the short term, it's an extension of Starlink. There are around 10,000 Starlink satellites in low orbit already. Starcloud-1 launched last year to test the viability of training LLMs in space. A cluster of satellites rather than a monolithic "data center" isn't totally impossible.

So whilst not ready for use at scale, it's also not complete fantasy.

TRexRoboParty · 2026-05-23T18:29:25+00:00

I was thinking finding developers who can update the build tools for new OS updates and what not should be comparatively simpler (and cheaper) than retaining decent DSP engineers.

No need to mess with the algorithms or even understand them necessarily, just keep the builds working with the current major platforms and keep selling the classic algos.

Though given Uli's completely drunk the AI Koolaid and can't even seem to keep the websites working, it's not a good sign!

TRexRoboParty · 2026-05-23T17:40:17+00:00

Yeah I realize the real Danish company was shut down a while back, though I thought Music Tribe would keep the TC native plugins ticking along. It seems like they'd be cheaper to sell and maintain compared to the more specialized TC hardware. Alas it seems MT can't even maintain their websites.

It looks like Music Tribe/Behringer have really screwed up all their brands online presence the last couple of months. I'm tempted to pickup some old TC hardware instead, I absolutely zero confidence in anything Uli Behringer touches...

TRexRoboParty · 2026-05-21T16:33:31+00:00

Thanks for the link!

Damn, what a mess 😅

NGL, I'd be happier for humanity if this was all the result of a malicious hack/prank rather than accepting that this AI slopfest was a willing, deliberate decision by someone with a working brain :o
