@SLRock My Chicago-era good morning beverage was "Greek coffee" -- that's Turkish coffee with a generous shot or three of Ouzo, a bit of fennel, and a bit of sugar. :-)
@xahlee The problem was competing with Flash. For most of the history of open standards animation, the industry response was, "why bother? We can just use Flash." So, yeah, 20 years of hot air. Today, the easiest way to do animation is video-based and winds up on youtube. Until the tech is simple/tooled enough for _regular animators_ to use it, it will suck, and never be thoroughly tested / revised.
@yukiame@adam anyone doing realtime work is, whether that's recording real synths, or doing a live podcast, or a concert in a concert hall -- a tiny bit of latency makes echo/reverb type effects that can be really horribly annoying -- especially to other people with mutant ears. It's like -- to a violinist, all other instruments are perpetually out of tune, but to a drummer, not so much. :-)
@yukiame@adam depends on what i'm doing. Unfortunately, for low latency (using rack + virtual synths) it tends to be JACK(ass). It's tools like Jack that cause me to pause before suggesting others jump in "for a good time."
@Ardral Now what's weird about someone's notion of apotheosis being their consciousness reduced to 1s and 0s and zapped into a robotic computer for a "rapture of the nerds" ? :-)
These memes are representative of the undercurrent that there is to be a major corruption take-down here (U.S.) in the near future... I wouldn't doubt that the corruption angle is true, but they have much more faith in it coming to light than I do.
Just a thought: M5M is focusing on male-on-male sex abuse in hollywood to detract from the real problem - the systematic sale, rape, and torture of young hollywood actresses. The M5M marching orders come from the top, and they're being told what they should (and should not) cover. Pay attention of Amanda Bynes in the coming weeks. She will either be praised, lauded, ignored, arrested, or suicided.
