  • Feminism is just a collective name for various ideologies with the aim of social justice for all genders/sexes. Within you will find many different movements with various qualities. In general, it’s about creating societal/governmental systems that afford the same quality of life and opportunities for everyone, regardless of gender, race or sexuality.

    You could see it as a subcategory of egalitarianism, which in general has the goal of social justice.

    In the end, of course not every movement is perfect, people are fallible after all. But that doesn’t only concern feminists even if they are one of the main targets of the manufactured right-wing culture war. And furthermore, some people going too far/not being nuanced enough/not going far enough is not a reason to disregard the movement and its wider aims in a fight for a better world for all.







  • I use pipewire with Ardour and Neural DSP VSTs (over wine) with zero issues on EndeavourOS. I really hadn’t expected that. Now, I generally just use this stuff to not have to buy many physical pedals so I rarely do recording, but that has worked as well.

    You seem to be way more advanced than me in that regard, so I can’t say if it would work for you, but it was so much easier and better than when I tried the same thing years ago. I’d suspect that GuitarRig works as well, though I haven’t tried. I may just do so this weekend, but can’t promise.

    I have GuitarPro running with wine as well.







  • I see what you mean, but is there any evidence that the models are biased in a way that affirms the world view of the owners? If I understood you correctly? I couldn’t find any.

    I’m as sceptical of the capitalist fuckwits as you seem to be, but their power seems to me to be more political/capitalist through the idea of AGI, than through the models themselves. Something that simple sequestration could solve. But that’s on the government and the voters.

    I’m not sure about the point you are trying to make with CLIP. It’s not a topic I’m familiar with, but also seems to be more a problem of the usage and people that the technology itself. Naïve usage by people who want to follow trends/the cheapest option/just something that works in any capacity.

    For me, the issue lies first in the overhyped marketing which is par on course for basically anything, unfortunately, as well as the fact, that suddenly copyright infringement is fine, if you make enough money off of it and lick powerful boots. If it was completely open for everyone, it wouls be a completely different story IMO.

    Also, I do not think that the models were created with the goal of pushing a certain narrative. They lucked into it being popular, completely unexpectedly, and only then the vultures started seeing the opportunity. So we will see how it evolves in that regard, but I don’t think this is what we’re seeing currently.
