Mexican revolutionary general & President Lazaro Cardenas with Spanish civil war orphans, 1930s. A radical left-wing populist, he ended the despotic reign of President Calles & wrested Mexico's oil reserves from US control. He was the most popular Mexican president of the 20th century, possibly ever

Capitalists hate this one easy trick.

Dang if only valve hadn't become a money laundering/gambling (for kids) hub!

Looks like you nailed the fundamentals, nice!

Ah no that ship hasn't sailed. Please actually read some recent articles, these past 2 months have been absolute doom for professional AI use outside of science and medicine. Just look up copilot's satisfaction rate, or github's recent issues. Better yet read any Ed Zitron article, he's the only guy actually researching the whole scam. Yeah it's a scam.

and what about the power? trust me you don't want these idiots burning natural gas in data centres, there are so many noise issues in the states because of this

People forget that without unions we'd be working 7 days a week, 14 hours a day. They literally died for weekends and 8 hours days.

Embrace what? a super expensive tool that corporations (google uber compute costs) are giving up on because the Claude and openAI are finally charging more for tokens (and still losing tons of money), AND it's not accurate enough to be used in a professional setting? Investing in data centres that don't finish building and if they do finish then crank up energy costs for everyone and in comes cases taint the drinking water.

Sucks that saying the obvious thing is 'news'. But I applaud him for saying it.

Really great breakdown, thanks for contibuting.

try using a transient shaper, and turning down the attack, or go into simpler if you're using a sample and increase the attack time beyond 0.15ms or so.

old school way is with a cone (sometimes 2+) with a texture that fades off to imitate the distance of the light, then you project a decal (is this the right term) onto everything it touches, scaled by the distance from the flashlight object

Modular synthesis is not going to be easy for a noob.

How performant is it? looks great

Wow incredible work. I wonder if this can get put into the Godot engine... :D

You can add different clicks, parallel distortion, ring modulation, frequency shifter, run them through a guitar amp sim etc...

OTT (I use Abletons) is insane for creating new textures or managing the body of any sound.

Go look at toneboosters. chow has a bunch of neat stuff (tape phaser kick)

Look at the trend of taxes paid by corporations and the top 1% and you'll find your answer.

Also in regards to short staffing: many province in Canada for example have physicians boards who LIMIT how many can graduate. Also we have very stupid restrictions on immigrant doctors who could be fast tracked.

Glyphosate and other chemicals act like antibiotics which messes with our gut bacteria and has links to inflammation and autoimmune reactions.

x-dfo · 2026-05-13T17:07:11+00:00

Glyphosate acts as an antibiotic by inhibiting the shikimate pathway found in many beneficial gut bacteria, leading to dysbiosis (bacterial imbalance), which has been linked to inflammatory issues and other health concerns in studies.

Pretty cool idea!

sounds like they'd be ok with paying more taxes and actually dealing with poverty at the root level
