A "difference of opinion" which DHH has engineered over time to intimidate and drive out minorities away from the Ruby community. You should read it because the perspective _is_ valid; in fact, this "brain worms" framing is the author being charitable to DHH by pretending he had no responsibility over the fact he's a fascist.
It's not a dumb take. There is a clear definition of fascism which his recent reactionary writings and attitudes as a business leader have met to a T. You might not like what I'm saying, maybe you're fine with DHH on some "what I don't mind can't be possibly be fascist" level, but it absolutely meets that standard.
Other than that; stop putting words in my mouth and stop poisoning the well. You and the OP are strawmanning a claim that the article is written in bad faith and thus avoid engaging with its substance.
I didn't say DHH has died, did I? No one believes that. And even if they did, when did we start getting offended by that? When did that start being an accusation and not a criticism? Did Donna Summer die when they said "disco is dead?" Did the article kill DHH? You're being deliberately obtuse.
Just as well with the dictionary entry. Well done. You got me. Wow. Nah man, saying that the word "fascist" is thrown around as an exaggeration is a thought-terminating cliché deployed in order to flatten the discourse.
You see, your dictionary definition obscures the reality that the pendulum of society is now swinging to the right, hard. He is explicitly aligning himself with a certain political philosophy which in 2025 is dominating the world. DHH isn't just saying some kooky shit, he is in a position of considerable power and visibility actively working to undermine the safety and opportunities of members of the community. It's cringeworthy seeing people standing in solidarity with an entitled idiot but not the marginalized people he hates.
All this is to say, I can't look at everything he's been saying and doing without seeing much of what Umberto Eco has identified as markers of fascism.
For sure. But I'd be surprised if a significant number of those setups were running recent versions of Mac OS, especially in older studios. Stability is preferable to new features since old studio hardware is often very reliable and studio engineers are wary of ruining compatibility with system upgrades
The system prevents you from mixing
arm64 code and x86_64 code in the
same process. Rosetta translation
applies to an entire process,
including all code modules that the
process loads dynamically.
I've been using this VST from Arturia (Minimoog V) since they distributed it for free back in like 2011 or 2012, and it runs as well on my M1 Mac as it did on my previous Intel Macs.
I mean, it's literally the same DMG from way back when and there's no chance it doesn't run under Rosetta, but I run Ableton natively!
Seems like you're trying to load an Intel-only plugin binary in a native ARM application. This doesn't work. DAW and plugins must use the same archicture. You would either have to run Ableton in Rosetta or use a plugin bridge. (This is similar to Windows if you want to run 32-bit plugins in a 64-bit DAW.)
That's actually what's going on, it turned out -- I'm using the AU version of the plugin, Activity Monitor lists an Intel process when I add it to a track.
Not sure this will be of any help to my projects once Rosetta 2 gets sunsetted...
Yes, that's how you do it. I have written a VST plugin host for Pure Data and SuperCollider and it supports sandboxing/bridging. It's not rocket science. I'm not sure why Ableton never bothered to implement this.
You're either desensitized or simply don't follow accounts that attract any political issues at all if you say that. Twitter is absolutely, depressingly overridden with genocide apologia and putrid racism.
In general I'm not very interested or concerned with American politics since this is outside of my scope of influence. I cannot say how much that influences my experience but I can confidently say that I have not seen any genocide apologia and putrid racism.
The closest that I've seen is conversations about violence rates and nationality (in the context of immigration) but these topics have also been discussed in the liberal left Dutch newspaper (Volkskrant) and conservative center newspaper (Neu Zuricher Zeitung) that I read.
My main point would be that Twitter does a better job at not amplifying calls for violence than Reddit. I, obviously, do not have access to internal Twitter data so my assessment is purely anecdotal but nonetheless seems relevant to the conversation.
> You're either desensitized or simply don't follow accounts that attract any political issues at all if you say that.
There are some other options too. For instance, there are people who honestly believe that Twitter is now a much better place and feel right at home because they are the ones pushing the genocide apologia and putrid racism themselves.
While I understand your frustration projecting American political biased on this does seem a bit extreme.
I'm not an American, nor do I care very much about US politics (outside my sphere of influence). It's hard to discuss exactly what genocide apologia and putrid racism are without a closer definition but I do not see anything on Twitter that's not discussed in the left liberal Dutch newspaper that I read (Volkskrant) or the German conservative center newspaper that I read (NZZ).
But if that's your twitter experience then you have a very well curated feed and on top of that are somehow able to side-step the stuff that Musk pushes really hard.
While Twitter has many issues, I still find value in it and I figured that a counter point to the common narrative would add value to the discussion.
I would love a LLM curated social network where I can drive the content that I see by adjusting the prompt to ensure that only high quality, fact based content is presented to me.
While no doubt not perfect and accounting for LLM biases (at scale) is not trivial this seems doable on a small (personal or small community) scale. Given the low cost of LLMs these days (queries on Flash 2.5 Lite or QWEN usually cost me a fraction of a cent), this might actually be a pretty cool weekend project!
