Israel is a rogue state holding the world hostage while it commits genocide against Palestinians. Consider donating to the Palestine Children's Relief Fund, avoiding doing business with Israeli companies and lobbying your representatives. Our shared future may well depend on it, and the Palestinians' definitely does.

That has nothing to do with what a genocide is predicated on.

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...

ngcazz··on Apple will phase out Rosetta 2 in macOS 28
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

Tangentially, this was surprising

  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!

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.

Musk has a proven track record of using govt subsidies to fund companies to enrich himself immeasurably, and his Nazi turn proves that personal enrichment, not technological advancement, is what is at stake. I don't mean to be preachy but anyone who is providing support for the most racist and perfidious elements of society in Germany and the UK should be disavowed in the strongest terms.

The people "occupying" Gaza and the West Bank are the Israelis, and the Palestinians rightfully refuse any agreements which strip them of their rights under the guise of generosity. Stop with the ahistorical equivocation.

None of what is going on in the Middle East is a "religious war" as such. That's a thought-terminating cliche that you're putting in practice pretty clearly here.

ngcazz··on U.S. bombs Iranian nuclear sites
If you are familiar with how Israel came to be founded, and how Iran became an Islamic republic, you'll see how that is a naive narrative.

For one, Balfour's illegal concession of Palestine to the Israelis had the clear strategic purpose of keeping pan-Arabism at bay. The ensuing establishment of Israel - by the UNSCOP, in contravention of international law - had the side effect of turbocharging settler colonialist violence (1948 and ongoing) and expansionism (e.g. 1967 annexations).

That was the background to the 1953 CIA coup, and the eventual Islamic revolution in 1979. Sure, it's not the liberal democratic outcome Iranians would've liked, but it reclaimed sovereignty lost, and they are aware of the historic role of Israel and their strategic and moral position in relation to it, regardless of their regime.

Bottom line, if we look closely at who really is threatening whom, the reactions of the Iranians are probably quite understandable

your selective definition of democracy accommodates a country

- whose Basic Law 2018 declared it a Jewish supremacist state

- where 50% of the population doesn't have the right to vote, land ownership, or travel on the same roads

- and faces 99% conviction rates in military, not civil, courts

- where parties can be banned directly by government decision if it arbitrarily deems them to be anti-Jewish
