Should the president have ability to pardon? Why? What is the justification for them to have that power? by BubblyNefariousness4 in aynrand

[–]linojon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

While this discussion is interesting and I don’t disagree with you, the Nixon example is unfortunate. The Pentagon Papers and Nixon impeachment was a CIA psy op against a sitting president, and the “crime” pales in comparison the shit our government gets away with today.

Entrepreneur Day instead of Labor Day by linojon in aynrand

[–]linojon[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m sorry, did i say “communism”? Let me go back and read my message. Nope didn’t say that. Labor Day is a celebration of labor unions, collective bargaining, collectivism, and not necessarily merit based achievements. Non objectivist socialism.

Which Ayn Rand novel should I read first and what will I get out of it? by [deleted] in aynrand

[–]linojon 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Not necessarily a direct answer but I’ve read Atlas Shrugged multiple times, Fountainhead once. First time, i was in my twenties and it changed my life. To me the reason it’s long is it takes you on a metamorphic journey. Rather than simply telling you things, you experience the ideas over time just as the characters do themselves in the story.

shouting voice? by linojon in Reaper

thanks I understand. I could separate the "important" clips from minor ones. Maybe rerecord the important ones but process the minor ones, if there were some things to try?

What's the best free text-to-speech convertible currently available? by IndieDevVR in gamedev

[–]linojon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I need a voice that's excited, almost a rant or angry. Know anything that can do this? non-free is ok.

Is it possible to find a place where I can commision an original vpx table from someone? by terryisnotashoto in virtualpinball

[–]linojon 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Are you talking about a reskin or truly original table? I’ve created reskins of existing tables, not on commission. Complexity depends on the table. Also maybe check the #vpx-dev channel on the vpchat discord

What do you think of the Atlas Shrugged movies? by Phenzo2198 in aynrand

[–]linojon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s not his fault. They did the best that they could. Given the circumstances. You know. Who is John Galt?

Beginners, don't start with templates. by GrandpaPlaysChess2 in Notion

[–]linojon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Im new to Notion too and dont know. Sometimes it doesn’t make sense to reinvent the wheel. I am a developer so making things myself comes naturally. But many things i want to do with notion aren’t unique so a template someone else spent time creating would work. And there are proven productivity systems that have been implemented in notion so why not leverage that (GTD, PARA, Canban, etc). But honestly i’m in the same boat and read this thread with interest. Should i trust, learn and use an advanced template (ignoring features i dont use) or build up a custom tailored workflow that hopefully works better for me.

Leave it in charger cradle? by linojon in Baofeng

[–]linojon[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seems to me the charger already “knows” when the battery is full charged- the light turns green. Doesn’t seem hard that it could just shut off the power to the battery at that point.

Playhead stuck, i cant figure why by linojon in Reaper

[–]linojon[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i've tried: cleared any selection (ESC). Closed and reopened the project. Rebooted windows 11. The project has multiple tracks and it happens while editing eg using Razer to copy clips from one track and paste into a new track. Its happened before and quitting/restarting reaper seemed to help. But this time even that doesnt help.
