There’s a few, but yeah, the majority of recent ones are Russian/Russian-alligned. I’m not sure there’s another battlefield with an equal amount of civilian air traffic and air defense systems, though.

I get the point, though I feel uncomfortable making such accusations without concrete evidence.

Also, it would just be really stupid to be doing that on purpose.

They in the sense of all Russians? All Russian soldiers? I don’t think we should let the current conflict, caused by decisions of authoritarian leadership, lead us into vilifying a whole people.

I don’t see any evidence for it not being accidental. There isn’t really a good reason for them to shoot down random passenger planes, and a lot of reasons for avoiding that. I also don’t find it hard to believe that there are problems with equipment quality and training.

Still, absolutely horrific.

That heavily depends on what you mean by writing music. Musescore (the software, not the website) is pretty good for writing notation, and open source.

If it’s more about producing a track, there’s Ardour, also foss. If you wanna pirate an “industry standard” daw, there’s FL Studio and Ableton, I guess.

Depending on what you want to do exactly, there might be a lot of other software that fits the bill.

What I read (and who knows whether it’ll turn out to be true) was that the plane was off it’s planned course, likely due to a birdstrike, which lead to them entering an area that was actively expecting drone attacks, which likely lead to the Russians shooting it down.

But I guess we’ll see when the report comes out.

T14s

You mean 40W? Can’t imagine a T config that’d do 400.

Hmh, interesting. Dunno whether it’ll make the casual listening playlist, but I’ve been to some hardcore bands that didn’t sound that different.

Now I’m curious - why do you upload unstructured noise?

Neat.

I assume there wasn’t a walking path even though the school was rather close?

Still sometimes shocked when hearing about how little public transport the U.S. has. I walked home by myself in my last year of primary school, then took the metro/bus in secondary school, which was pretty much normal.

Well, people love to complain. I didn’t feel Inquisition was as good as Origins, but I still had fun with it, and I assume the same is gonna be true for Veilguard.

Anyways, that’s curios. I think the Dragon Age Games are some of the few I own on Origin. I’d be kinda surprised if EA made the effort to patch the games on their own client, though.

Might try running it tomorrow, out of curiosity.

They also had a bit of a scandal around alleged sexual assault, and coersion of sex from fans semi-recently. Big in German media, probably less so internationally. Great shows, but I’m not willing to give them any more money.

What problems did you have with it? Still runs surprisingly well for me. Haven’t tried Veilguard yet, but plan to as soon as I have some time. Felt that none of the sequels where able to match Origins yet, though.

My wallet (Secrid). Bought mine in person at a random retailer, and never registered it, though.

Sure, it’s from Germany, though. Shipping might be a problem, depending on your location.

If you look for used or refurbished ThinkCentres, Optiplexes, and whatever-hp-calls-theirs, there’s usually some cheap ones, at least around here.

I just bought a used Ryzen 3 ThinkCentre as a media centre PC for 66€. Feel like the pi has a hard time competing both on price and performance in that field.

If I remember correctly, the reason for all this was that his other kids really aren’t on board with daddy’s political opinions, and would be able to overrule their brother. We’ll see how it turns out.

I mean, yeah. I doubt they’d outright lie about Adams making that statement, but neither that rag, nor the person they’re quoting, are overly trustworthy.

Also, don’t tell anyone you know that, or you’re not gonna be on any jury.
