What does atomic mean in this sense? That seems more confusing than immutable.

I don’t need to prove you wrong with examples, you are wrong, it’s very well documented and widely understood. If you choose to not believe it and can’t be bothered to research it yourself then you have chosen to stay ignorant, and wrong, which is your right.

Name a counter example

Statistics isn’t defined by examples. Educate yourself, this is a very well known and understood concept. Staying in ignorance is your choice.

Maybe do some research about statistical concepts before spouting what sounds good to you. Causation can absolutely ‘come’ without correlation.

You are a great example of someone not understanding that things are complex so you reach for tabloid explanations because they are comfortable and simple.

Your palm is nearly a meter wide?!

Wtf that’s crazy

Sound on sound was always well worth a read. That said, I haven’t read it in about 20 years and don’t know if it’s even still going.

Your assessment of probability is speculation and I didn’t suggest you meant “always”.

That’s not necessarily true, I dual boot and I’ve been using Linux for my main OS for about 15 years now. I rarely use mine but it is useful/needed occasionally.

I don’t understand why people do this. Surely if you lose your phone or it is stolen then you are without your phone, ID and bank card?

Mpd and Cantata. Deadbeef for playing from a directory or for conversation. I haven’t found anything as good as cantata but I have to admit that I miss the monolithic and do everything of musicbee.

So we get surprised every three months rather than every month.

I’m trying notally for notes right now, seems to be good enough for what I need (mainly checklists for shopping and very occasional notes) and has a widget. No idea how the widget compares to SN though

They can be dropped into local directories, assuming the devs provide binaries, otherwise they need building. I know it’s not difficult to git clone and build but it’s not really a beginner friendly process and not ideal to have to remember to check for updates (and not ideal to not have them packaged for updates if there are binaries provided by the devs). I was considering using 10 years ago or so and this was one of the main reasons I decided against it in the end (along with other audio tools not having packages), it’s a shame it hasn’t really moved forward in this respect because it looked really nice otherwise.

Those Tukan plugins are not VSTs, they are reaper specific plugins.

I have no idea about Bottles but most people use yabridge these days which is really easy to use and works very well.

Yes. LV2 and VST3

AV Linux is pretty damn good.

I would say Arch because the AUR is amazing and Arch all around is so good but you’ll need to be making a lot of decisions during install that you know nothing about. If you want to learn then I think it’s the best overall.

Last time I looked there were not enough plugins available for it to be good for a beginner wanting to use it for audio.

My advice is to just apply and if it takes a while then keep learning and practicing what you know. I was in a similar position and decided to learn python to automate stuff in my admin job. The job was fairly data centric so it wasn’t long until I saw someone using pandas and I instantly knew I wanted to be an analyst. I spent a while learning pandas, then SQL and then dicked around with power bi a bit.

When I started applying for jobs I didn’t have much success at first but I stumbled on one which included tools I had no experience with but I applied anyway, not expecting anything but feeling desperate and hopeless at that point. Well, I heard back from this one and I ended up getting the job somehow. Now I use Alteryx, which I had never heard of, and Tableau, which I had never used. They must have seen that I was passionate and loved to learn, and we’re happy to take me on based on the potential I had. I rarely use python or pandas, occasionally SQL for basic stuff, so it was more the principles from learning these that were useful rather than the actual tools themselves.

I would recommend learning at least the basics of SQL and start learning tableau (by using tableau public). Most of the skills are transferable so learning the logic of one programming language and a bi tool will mean that you can pick up others fairly easily and employers understand this. If you are in excel a lot then learn how to write formulas and learn power query so you can practice joins and data cleansing.

So basically, get the fundamentals down and start applying, don’t spend forever trying to learn a million things because you think they are all essential. Apply for as many jobs as you can, even if you don’t know the tools they use, and practice and develop your skills while you are waiting.

This will be amazing if it works, I’ve been frustrated with mtp for so many years. Thanks for posting about it.

Edit: Windows only FFS. Guess I’ll look at using adb itself as someone else mentioned here.
