Needing some advice on music players for Linux. Running Antergos. Installed a few, and so far the only viable option is Audacious, but it is missing some creature comforts that I got with foobar. Most importantly, I want one that will support some sort of convolver, since I have impulse waveforms for all of my cans. I am using a Schiit stack to play everything. Anyone have any recommended players?

I've used Rhythmbox my whole life, I never changed it out of simple laziness. I even tried some simpler ones, but they didn't index my music directory. I have something around 25TB of songs in total, so the ideal would be for the music player to index everything so that I wouldn't have to read it every time I search for an album or song.
The bad side of Rhythmbox is that it's not very easy to customize. There are several things I would remove or add, but I don't because it's not a modular music player. One thing I miss, for example, is showing album covers in the search, this helps a lot, especially for songs in other languages like Egyptian, Chinese, Japanese, etc.

mpv can play a few midis, mplayer can play all midis but nothing does all midis in a gui like Windows 95 can do.

But you do have systems rather it be Karl Marx's dictatorship of the proliteriat, Peter Kropotkin's decentralized node based gift economy or Democratic Socialist countries like Norway. You described a system.

Many of you mistakenly use the words "community" and "government" as if they are the same term. You realize the capitalist are corrupt but assume Government can solve their damage. You falsely assume Government is represents the people's will or at least can do that. I don't think a anarcho communist non-reciprocal gift economy will work to well at all in the real world. The reason FOSS works is because its actually a lot more individual oriented them people give credit. In reality FOSS is a system where developers engage in reciprocal favors to one another and those favors trickle down for communities to enjoy. The digital commons do exist but they are D I G I T A L, anyone can make a copy and paste of LibreOffice or GIMP. You can copy and paste free software infinitely but you cannot copy and paste tangible food and houses for people to live in. Sharing non-tangible copyable assets in the commons is very different then sharing things that are susceptible to scarcity and require continous labor . Trade and division of labor have been around probably sense the dawn of agriculture and markets and prices are ways to make sure labor is not cheated like those ants holding the world for nothing.Either we normalize paying for feature request and use rational self interest in FOSS or become like the ants in the picture.

>>107699982
enough with the qanonsense, their beliefs stem from a misunderstanding of authority, a naitivity that Government and community are the same thing and economic iliteracy. They do not hold malice. You are making a strawman. Also Trump is an idiot who supports a authoritarian government.

I am regularly amazed that we pretend folders are the right way to organise files. They’re entirely arbitrary. Every competent file system ignores them to its best ability. Why can’t I have a file in two folders? Why does one have to be a “reference”? Why can’t I filter for files that exist in 3 folders with X extension?

We’ve been played for absolute fools.

how do you guys handle multiple work projects and personal projects at the same time? how do you deal with all of the fresh ideas?
work has been giving me every sw project under the sun the past 2+ years to solo dev alone and write user guides for. management and customers love my work - multiplatform apps, web, server, etc. the tight deadlines for dumb reasons suck ass.

my issue is I've received so many new projects, I can't keep every work project and a handful of my personal projects in my head. my personal projects are years old and I like to work on them sometimes. they're mostly 90-95% complete. work projects are in the same languages as my personal projects, so they benefited from my old work. wat do? do I just become a competitor and win the contracts myself?

The biggest problem we have today is that Lobbying has replaced democracy.
Policy is steered by corporations and billionaires, not representatives. Today's 'representatives' are just political prostitutes who openly admit to being lobbied by AIPAC and other Jewish organizations.
People outnumber the rich by a lot, but the rich are organized. They will always put their money in favor of their class of people, even if they have to sacrifice those below them.
What's scary is that no matter what they do, the poor are fine staying as crabs in a bucket.
It gives credit to the saying; "You deserve what you tolerate".

>You are the type of person that would sell farmer’s tools to buy him month supply of bread.
That farmer could have billions in liquid assets overnight if he wanted and buy enough bread to feed the entire world several times over. It would quite literally take decades to properly spend his fortune helping people and can be done without dropping any of his quality of life even a tiny bit. Plenty of time for that supposed utopia to happen. He won't do something like that because he doesn't care and doesn't believe his own shit and go fuck yourself for trying to defend a goddamned billionaire.
He can do what he wants with his fortune but I don't have to pretend that he's a good person or has good insight into the future. His actions do not reflect his words.
