There’s also an astroturfing campaign against it as well over there - I’ve noticed a lot of bot comments and bullshit when I post links to here from there.

Haven’t done it myself yet, but here’s the docker install guide… seeing what your username is and all…

Trump.

Edit: QuarterSwede beat me to it, so I’ll go for Musk as a close second.

Gets worse - this just popped up:

DOGE is a direct pipeline to Russia via Starlink.

I always thought it was “doozie” but I have no idea. I just cut & pasted to preserve it as it’s pretty clear this is gonna disappear from Reddit once Musk gets wind.

Holy wall of text, Batman!

Thus begins the Nicpocalypse, the last stage of inquisitional censorship before botspam ascends into a state of divine memedom. In doing so, Nicole joins the first progenitor of the Dark Meme pantheon in his eternal dance across the interwebs, a handmaiden to his horrid everpresent jiggle…

We’re watching history unfold. I kinda wish we weren’t…

EDIT: You do realize that every downvote makes the Dark Lord dance harder, don’t you?

Depends…

Welcome weary traveler!

FL 11 was an amazing piece of software - that’s the version that really kicked it into the big leagues.

You should check out the newest version - the download manager is much better since FL Studio 20, and they’ve got a bunch of new packages and plugins. The Flex plugin is one of the best traditional instrument synths I’ve ever worked with (think it came in on v 17 or 18).

Even the new version has excellent performance on my 10 year old desktop - you’ll love it when you get a chance to upgrade.

If you’re into music production, FL Studio has a lifetime license that’s stood the test of time, and has kept up with or exceeded the capabilities of packages like Reason, Ableton, and Logic. It was the first to really embrace an open VST plugin interface, and has so many options that even after 25 years I haven’t yet explored them all. It also comes with a ton of free instruments you can download (basically free DLC).

I picked up a lifetime license for $99 in 2001 when it was Fruity Loops 2.0. Used it for 10 years as it evolved and was amazed that it was keeping up with the big boys. That encouraged me to drop another $80 to upgrade to the producer edition to start making professional level tracks - and I was not disappointed.

The best part? The base license is still just $99. Producer edition is still $179.

EDIT: side note - the demo is actually the full software package, so you can try it out for free. The license just unlocks the capacity to save projects with the plugins that are covered by your licensing.

Comparison of Nazi salute circa 1940 to Musk salute circa 2025:

In the US, so as of 1/20/25, sadly yes.

Done.

This is starting to feel like a Nicolonoscopy…

Yes, and it’s coupled with a significant amount of censorship and increased bot activity pushing right wing and Russian talking points. It’s simply not an open platform at this point.

And this is by design. Now that they’ve spent the last 20 years collecting your content to teach their bots how to write, all they want now is your attention, not your voice.

Then that’s 4,416 dozen, give or take a baker.

But all in all, I’d say that lemmings are much more active than Redditors - just based on responses to my posts and comments. I’ve earned 15k karma on this account, far more than any of my vastly older reddit accounts. Take that for what you will, but I’ve personally found the community here much more active, especially as of late.

Content quality is drastically better too.
