What do you think about The Prodigy?

I didn't even think about the analogy to sampling (and the prior controversy) but that is an even better analogy. Ultimately, the different between what's creative re-use and what's a ripoff is a matter of how skillfully it's done and there's a lot of controversy in the middle!

If you want to read the contemporary discussion of samping, the early 90s opinion columns of Sound on Sound magazine are worth a look.

Use pixi (whici is build with uv) and use its "global". It should solve what you wanted to solve: https://pixi.sh/dev/global_tools/introduction/

Use pixi or uv to maintain this specific environment and separate it from the global one

Why don't you use pixi, which has the best from these worlds?

I agree. Pixi solves all of that issues and is fully open source including the packages from conda-forge.

Too bad there is nowadays the confusion with anaconda (the distribution that requires a license) and the FOSS pieces of conda-forge. Explain that to your legacy IT or Procurement -.-

Why don't you use pixi?

Pixi inherited some ot the bad designs from conda, and conda clearly hadnt been close to solving python packaging either and was digging itself into a black hole over time.

I heard that Internet on its own is a home of underage media, drug deals and Russian hackers. I guess we need to rant about it also, right?

Still better and more feature rich than WA.

One day you will discover Internet and how advantageous it is for scammers and malware authors.

Wtf is this argument even about? Knife is advantageous for robbers. Phone calls are advantageous for scammers.

Your existence is advantageous for many malicious agents.

So what?

Thanks for this comment, came here to say the same thing.

I used to observe the increased sensetivity to noise during my epresssion periods. Observe the same problems also with bright light. What may actually help here is psychologist / psychiatrist and therapy or medication. I'm not a doctor and maybe your problem not related to yours, but I just wanted to share the direction which helped me to decrease sound sensetivity.

I definitely notice a correlation between sensitivity to noise and light (funny that you mentioned that too) and anxiety, but I'll add some irony here - also with insomnia.

But ones you are in company which does it right you start appreciate all good things it brings.

I haven't seen working communism though and never heard about it.

Also instagram allow you to see your feed in chronological order. And if you reopen it you still can see all posts (except ad) in the same order and on the same place they were.
