Instruments and a nice microphone. The audio interface handles both hardware side and passes the audio via USB to the PC

I don't have some objective reason personally, I just don't like web apps for 90℅ of things.

I'm curious does the web app allow for pass-through audio devices (an audio interface) or things like voicemeeter?

Can someone more plugged in than me show me what I gotta do to get that 'Discord Wayland sharing' working? I literally installed Vencord a month ago because every time I tried to share a window or my screen on discord it would hard crash.

Begging the question was originally a very specific logical fallacy. It's a type of reasoning where you circularly try to prove your argument. I just kinda wish the usage wasn't being muddied. https://danielmiessler.com/blog/the-original-meaning-of-begging-the-question

"that begs the question". I wish people would just use the more correct "raises the question", especially people doing educational/academic content. I hear it across the English-speaking internet

That second line is the first bit of result after over a year of both parties fearmongering about "the immigrant crisis". Deeply racist and violent country I hate this shit so much.

I mean since the Dems' "big tent" includes Dick fucking Cheney I'm not surprised they're also implementing Republican aesthetics

What your original comment suggested was not that you acknowledged the human capacity for violence, which nobody can deny and I am not debating.

The comment implied - and this is an assumption so ingrained in our western society that nobody could blame you for it - that the only thing separating humans from violent, animalistic, or selfish impulses is societal structure and policing.

our institutions are our attempt to crawl out of the jungle

That just isn't demonstrable, as much as it may feel intuitive. It's a Hobbian philosophy.

I'm not here to pretend I can convince you otherwise in one comment thread, took me a long time to change my mind on that and I'm not anthropological authority. That's why I recommend the book, it's quite eye-opening. At least it was for me.

I encourage you to read Humankind by Rutger Bregman. The notion that humans are inherently animalistic, greedy, and violent has not been supported by the bulk of anthropological study throughout modern history, and his book does a good job of breaking down why there's such a divide between the perception of so-called "human nature" and the anthropological and sociological evidence.

TLDR: humans aren't inherently greedy, we respond to our systems and environment more than anything.

"The answer is not to defund the police! It's to fund them! Fund them!!" - Joe Biden

And then he proceeded to give them money to buy more tear gas canisters and armored vehicles and liberals are surprise Pikachu face-ing when statistics like this come out.

In 100 years (if the earth lasts that long) I hope people look back at police abolition the way we look back at the abolition of slavery: as an obvious step towards a more equitable society.

In fact, the Courts ruled they don't actually have to protect you at all! https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warren_v._District_of_Columbia
