Nebula exists. Curiosity Stream exists. PeerTube exists. Odysee exits. The people I value on YT already have footholds on all four. More will arrive soon enough.

Exactly my thoughts too.

dogmatic tribalism

I sense those sentiments as well. This isn't the first time we've seen this happen either; it's happened a lot throughout technology and when art medium changes. (Example: Analog purists against digital film and music).

There are some things we should draw the line, and it's usually when we lack ownership (i.e. streaming and corporate-owned clouds). But local LLM, it and the data lives in your computer. You still keep your data.

when freestyle mixing with random song this helps save you so much times

It does, right? I'm glad I'm not the only one that feels that way.

But I think I'll move forward with selling the unit. It's definitely a fun one, but I'm not a fan of the FX lay out when compared to Traktor's units.

Plus, I have touch screen laptops, so that could suffice for now. I just hate how laptop screens bounce when you touch them, haha!

I fully made the switch 6 years ago, and that was after using Traktor for 10 years, and various other software from 2005 to 2010. I think I've used Serato Scratch Live, M-Audio Torq, Virtual DJ, Serato Itch, and etc.

Part of me leaving Traktor was me being fed up with Microsoft (as they were becoming Microslop). I saw the trend with what Windows was doing, and Windows 11 broke the 'camel's back' for me: ads, TPM requirements, forced updates, surveillance, and etc.

Traktor was also pushing me to leave their software too: dumb release of MK3 controller series (except S4), subscription model for Traktor Plus, now they're in financial solvency, and so on.

So, I jumped onto Linux, and started using Mixxx around v2.2.4. I've known of Mixxx since the early 2010s. I just never had a reason to leave until 2020, but it was probably the best decision I made. Using Open Source software has helped expanded my DJing, especially in the file organizing part of music files.

Bottom line: If you depend on a software company to DJ or do anything with art, be prepared for when that company takes a dive and quits being a company. I didn't want that dependency, so I jumped to open source.

To be honest, ever since the 2.5.2 or 2.5.3 release, I feel like they made some good major updates.

My favorite one: complete overhaul and rewrite for the timecode support.

The previous timecode system was pretty bad... Like, beatmatching and accuracy were pretty bad, but also, it sent a very weak audio signal and made my audio output sound pretty bad.

2.5.6 is the last release before 2.6

If you aren’t checking and validating every fact your LLM produces, you’re just adding to the amount of dross in the world, if you are checking the facts, then it would probably be quicker to have just found the facts and written it yourself.

Due to hallucinations, I don't find LLM reliable for facts. I've only found it useful for writing. In some occasions, I've had LLMs analyze my contents: slideshows, documents, and etc. The result was very lacking or inaccurate.

I've only found LLMs useful for writing and brainstorming ideas. So, drafting an agenda of my ideas for a meeting, copywriting tasks, translating content to different languages, and etc.

Now, could writing be plagiarized? Sure. But when it comes to developing writing, it definitely helps to draft ideas with an LLM.

I just subscribed.

Seems to be other Fedi-verse spaces on Philippines as well, so I guess subscribing to them all would keep me in the loop.

Bobby Brown - That's the Way Love Is https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_1GLB2IBPiE Club version blows compared to original. You can barely feel the "melody" kick in this one during the hook.

Clazziquai - Futuristic https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lWZVr2CbA3U Despite the album version already being a House track, this Extended House edit sounds weaker than the latter.

So, you'd create a PeerTube channel, but probably minimal visuals, yeah?

Majority of my devices are at least Ryzen 2xxx, that includes desktops and laptops. Ever since the release of Vega, I was blown away at their APU graphics. It definitely surpasses iGPU.

I know dGPU could be better, but I preferred the (resale value) of Ryzen devices.

However, I still use Intel 4th ~ 6th Gen laptops that I pick up for free, or had from 10+ years ago. Great for indie gaming still.

I generally hold onto devices because they work perfectly fine with a SSD. Even though they're not "blazing fast" or cutting edge.

Everything runs on NixOS.
