Not all Lemmy instances allow downvoting. So they might not introduce friction, but they remove the (maybe un-considered) negative reaction.

Their latest album was released in 2023. They released ~9 albums since the 80s, so they should not lack material.

That unsophisticated attacks can affect critical infrastructure is worrisome.

I consider myself a newbee.

Can someone please point out some specific licenses and projects which disallow this kind of action?

Thanks for pointing that out. But it was only a joke.

A water gun will also do it. You can even order one from Amazon…

You will have to repeat that again and again, because people don’t know what LLMs are. They have been told that we have AIs and don’t understand that what they actually use are digital parrots (minus the intelligence of an actual parrot).

What are principles worth if you won’t stand for them?

I was confused for a minute, not understanding what (Apache) Maven has to do with social networks.

Playnite? I would love to use it if it would support Linux.

As I previously said, I don’t advocate for buying from Epic. But if it happens that you have some games from their Store (for whatever reason, like ones you got for free) there are alternatives to their client.

What about something like Heroic Game Launcher? I’m not advocating for Epic, just pointing out that alternatives exist.

Can you please tell us something about the process of creating the tracks?

That’s what I thought too. But then again, there’s no “The Starcraft Band” which could record a new master. So I think that in the case of video games soundtracks which are not attributed to specific artists, “remaster” becomes a bit of a fuzzy term. You mention remix, but it could also be a cover or it could be accepted as a remaster (if it would be something official).

All of the above, including my original question is just curiosity and not meant to diminish the effort put into creating the audio tracks.

Bastion has a good soundtrack of which some tracks could benefit from a higher dynamic range.

Did you have access to the original material?
Edit: I’m trying to understand what “remaster” means in this context.

What’s scary about it?

This is really good news. I just hope that state institutions using OSS don’t take it for granted and also start investing (contributing, auditing) into the software they are using. With increasing adoption, OSS also becomes an attractive attack vector for all kinds of malicious parties. Recent events (xz utils) have shown how this can happen.
