I spent my day off with a cold in bed, during which I read every one of these.

Thank you for posting, it helped a lot x

ianovic69 , 21 days ago to Technology in Why you like Apple?

I like it when I use Ableton Live.

I can load any of my projects and everything is running exactly how I left it. Any issues I've had have been down to 3rd party plugins.

I'm fortunate in that this is the only thing I use my MBP for, other than accessing music stuff on the internet using Firefox with uBlock, which is synced with my phone.

It's not logged into Apple ID, and I bought it used. So there's no money paid to Apple and as little data as I can give them.

It's my hobby, but if I were to do it professionally I would do everything exactly the same. Except I would buy the machine new.

Well, that sounds promising at least.

If you don't think those things are very much related, may I suggest reading this post on Lemmy today.

The levels of corruption aimed at climate denial and in furthering fossil fuels is frightening.

Keeping in mind I have zero knowledge of what you're telling me about, but these examples don't include anything about carbon monoxide.

If the similarities to the other gases are close enough to mean that it can be safely stored using the same techniques, then I'm inclined to feel a lot less worried about the whole thing.

But I don't really trust these sectors to act on our behalf, only to make profit line go up. Lying and bribing appears to be part of that, as can be seen all around us these days.

Yes, the article says that but I'm not sure how much I believe it. If there's a decent body of work that draws consensus I would be less sceptical.

Code spotted within the Spotify app last year also suggests that the tier could come with 24-bit lossless audio

At 44.1k, 16bit is CD quality which is perfectly good enough. But no, dupe people into paying more for something they can't use. Typical.

I wouldn't call carbon monoxide a good side product. If the amount created is negligible then great, but are there realistic figures?

ianovic69 , 25 days ago to Technology in Scientists propose converting natural gas into hydrogen directly in gas fields

I'm no expert, but this doesn't sound like a good idea.

Yes, yes, yes!

In fact, I think you could extend this to all art and possibly even to the online identity of all humans.
