I was so surprised when I found the “discovery mode” in Origins. The team totally didn’t need to build that but it added a really cool educational aspect.

I wonder if any teachers actually used that mode in the classroom.

WavePad is open source but it’s free for non-commercial use and it’s pretty nice. Handles a lot of formats out of the box.

*Edit: Oh, that would be for desktop. Just noticed I was in the Android /c

"There are some people for whom hate is a full-time job,”

These conservative pundits would like nothing more than a convenient scapegoat for these shootings.

They don’t even try to point to any tangible ideology that would drive a trans person to commit an act like this, while at the same time ignore obvious white supremacist groups that actually call for the killing of minorities and commit crimes like these.

And sometimes there’s no identifiable motive. Sometimes the person just has severe mental health issues for which it’s really hard to get help in the US.

And really easy access to firearms doesn’t help.

I appreciate the philosophy, resilience, resistance to censorship, and individual control that both types of decentralization provide.

Crypto has many scams only because it is intended to be traded or used as currency. Bitcoin, Ethereum, and a few others have held their value over time because of the network effect: more people use it to transact, so it maintains it’s worth as a means of transaction. All those shit coins and alt coins were absolute scams because there was no way to use them (you can use Bitcoin to actually buy products and services).

Decentralized platforms that promote beans are also cool, but their currency is lulz. There’s not much value for that outside the platform.
