  • Simple Mobile Tools alternatives?

    Jump

  • I'm trying notally for notes right now, seems to be good enough for what I need (mainly checklists for shopping and very occasional notes) and has a widget. No idea how the widget compares to SN though

  • Help me decide my first distro for Audio.

    Jump

  • They can be dropped into local directories, assuming the devs provide binaries, otherwise they need building. I know it's not difficult to git clone and build but it's not really a beginner friendly process and not ideal to have to remember to check for updates (and not ideal to not have them packaged for updates if there are binaries provided by the devs). I was considering using 10 years ago or so and this was one of the main reasons I decided against it in the end (along with other audio tools not having packages), it's a shame it hasn't really moved forward in this respect because it looked really nice otherwise.

  • Those Tukan plugins are not VSTs, they are reaper specific plugins.

    I have no idea about Bottles but most people use yabridge these days which is really easy to use and works very well.

  • Yes. LV2 and VST3

  • AV Linux is pretty damn good.

    I would say Arch because the AUR is amazing and Arch all around is so good but you'll need to be making a lot of decisions during install that you know nothing about. If you want to learn then I think it's the best overall.

  • Last time I looked there were not enough plugins available for it to be good for a beginner wanting to use it for audio.

  • What's the best question to ask someone who you don't know very well?

    Jump

  • You sound the coolest if you say you use Arch btw (this is a meme now).

  • It's pretty common to bond over dislikes. Besides, disliking something isn't negative, and there's nothing wrong with being negative even if it were.

    Do you drink tea and if so why?

    Jump

  • Yeah I was a bit perplexed by the mention of it being the strong stuff but I think you're right.

  • Taking a break from this subreddit...

    Jump

  • Wow some people know less than you and are here to learn, shocking. See ya.

  • The quality of life

    Jump

  • Sorry it was hard for you. I hope you can appreciate how hellish every other year can be for us extreme introverts.

  • Idea of green growth losing traction among climate policy researchers, survey of nearly 800 academics reveals

    Jump

  • Because often the conservative is a board member or significant investor. It's about time we called it for what it is, corruption.

  • Should there be a UK Minister for Men?

    Jump

  • When you look at support for things such as physical/emotional/financial abuse against men then it's painfully lacking which can be devastating. This alone is a lot more widespread than you may think. Whether this warrants a minister is another question but there are areas which desperately need attention and it's unfair to say just because women get the shitty end of the stick in general that men are not in need to support too.

    Is there an easy way to force vscode to run on Wayland ?

    Jump

  • What do you mean? Works on Wayland here.

  • Updating Arch the right way - Please critique my practices

    Jump

  • I just run 'paru'.

    Looks interesting and comprehensive though, a few things I should probably implement.

  • Data Analyst Seeking Advice

    Jump

  • My advice is to just apply and if it takes a while then keep learning and practicing what you know. I was in a similar position and decided to learn python to automate stuff in my admin job. The job was fairly data centric so it wasn't long until I saw someone using pandas and I instantly knew I wanted to be an analyst. I spent a while learning pandas, then SQL and then dicked around with power bi a bit.

    When I started applying for jobs I didn't have much success at first but I stumbled on one which included tools I had no experience with but I applied anyway, not expecting anything but feeling desperate and hopeless at that point. Well, I heard back from this one and I ended up getting the job somehow. Now I use Alteryx, which I had never heard of, and Tableau, which I had never used. They must have seen that I was passionate and loved to learn, and we're happy to take me on based on the potential I had. I rarely use python or pandas, occasionally SQL for basic stuff, so it was more the principles from learning these that were useful rather than the actual tools themselves.

    I would recommend learning at least the basics of SQL and start learning tableau (by using tableau public). Most of the skills are transferable so learning the logic of one programming language and a bi tool will mean that you can pick up others fairly easily and employers understand this. If you are in excel a lot then learn how to write formulas and learn power query so you can practice joins and data cleansing.

    So basically, get the fundamentals down and start applying, don't spend forever trying to learn a million things because you think they are all essential. Apply for as many jobs as you can, even if you don't know the tools they use, and practice and develop your skills while you are waiting.

  • Wouldn't this benefit everyone? Presumably the implications are far wider and more important than who makes the most profit from it.
