I'd think it was mountain lion, which would make me want to go pet it. Yes, I know I'm going to get mauled, but I just can't resist petting the kitty.

Reply to File systems should detect when a file contains only alphanumeric text and reencode it so it takes less space on disk. (This post brought to you by the C en_US locale) by flabberghaster
Could cause issues if the compressed text file has to be read by another operating system, like in a dual boot situation, or if it gets copied to a flash drive and plugged into a Winblows/Mac PC.

I wish you the best of luck! I went down the physical modeling rabbit hole a few years ago, though I didn't end up creating anything more than a few test programs.

That's awesome! Have you heard of Tao before? It's an unfinished FOSS physical modeling synthesizer that sounds a lot like what you're describing. The UI is... about what you'd expect for it being one guy's college project from 20 years ago, but I've managed to make a few neat sounds with it.

That's great! What plugin ideas do you have so far? I'm not a music professional by any stretch, but I have played around with DAWs before.

Reply to cw. i don't see a future really by flabberghaster
Whenever I start feeling this way, I remind myself that people who lived under brutal empires in the past probably also felt the same way. But those empires eventually crumbled, the people started the long journey of healing, and eventually the future was bright again. I very much want a good future, but that future has to be fought for, and part of that means rooting out defeatist thoughts.
I'm a fan of the "revolutionary suicide" concept (by this I mean the original meaning of the phrase as coined by Huey Newton, before it was hijacked by the Jonestown cult). Revolutionary suicide, in its original form, was the idea that it is better to die on your feet than on your knees; that it is better to die resisting the forces that would drive me to self murder, rather than by giving in to them. This is one of the things that keeps me going. If the fascists want me dead, they will have to come and kill me themselves. I won't do it for them.
No matter how bleak things may be, we can't give up hope. Because there is always hope, as long as people are willing to resist.

This really is a 50/50. Magic mushrooms are my favorite drug, so those plus diarrhea would equal weird diarrhea.
Also, I'm glad you're feeling better!

every so often I am reminded that advertisements exist
I have gone to such great lengths to eschew all ads, that whenever I see one I am instantly nettled, and make a vow to never buy whatever they're selling
my life is so much more peaceful without ads being shoved down my throat
