Would you believe anyone who told you?

Because that would be the actual problem.

It's not like Denmark is a stranger to poor choices for ice cream.

The same company also offers this one:

Some union agreements have rules against that, so that they're obliged to inform you in advance if the meeting has potential consequences for your employment.

Or, it can be more subtle, that they are obliged to inform you of your right to bring an observer to the meeting.

It won't save you from getting sacked, but it might give you a better chance of getting compensated when the company inevitably forgets to do it right..

The internet is like that, yes.

At least there are no advertising here.

I miss my first apartment. I had more furniture, but life was simple. At least for a while.

My mistake was to help a friend out by inviting him for a beer after work. He had broken up with his girlfriend and needed a place of his own. I got him into an apartment in my building. Big mistake. The guy just couldn't figure out how to be alone by himself. Every day just as I got home from work and sat down in my lawnchair, he'd ring my doorbell within 5 minutes wanting to hang out. It was alright for a while, but I soon got enough of socializing in all my free time. I'd rather be alone and do creative projects and such.

I told him off several times and explained how I needed personal time for myself, but he'd be back the very next day, not understanding how personal time could possibly take more than a few hours.

For the remaining time I lived there, I'd leave the door open, and just go on about my day whether or not he was around. The serenity was broken anyway.

All the movies by Bud Spencer and Terrence Hill.

It doesn't matter which one, because the plot is always the same.

He goes on a rant, saying out loud what everyone is thinking.

This is unusual for him.

Personally I liked the start of it more, where he clearly and simply explains some basic facts that a lot of people need to understand.

Just like many other good distros, Friends ended when the larger one ate the smaller ones.

Depends on where in the world.

In my case, if it should happen to me, I would call the union and stop working immediately. The union would then contact the company to inform them of their obligation to pay me and of the fee which doubles every day until they pay. If they fail to pay me and the fees within the set deadline, which is usually 5 days, the working court would quickly send a declaration of bankruptcy. The company don't get a say in that court. Only the unions of employees and the unions of employers have access. A simple matter like this is resolved quickly because unfortunately there are plenty of precedent cases.

At that point I wouldn't really give a shit if the company pays or goes bankrupt, because my salary would be paid to me either way. If the company can't pay, we have a fund to cover salaries to employees of bankrupted companies.

It's somewhat more complicated for people outside of unions. They have to pay a lawyer to battle it through civil court. They'll usually win but it can take months and cost a lot.

I recently got fed up with spending hours making my MIDI devices work in Windows. Everytime I plugged the USB hub with my controllers into Windows, it would reassign the ports and I'd have to use the ancient Korg utility to remove dead ports. This is a really old issue that Microsoft claims was fixed ten years ago, but never was. So I decided to test if Linux can handle MIDI devices better.

It seemed to work fine on an old Mint laptop that I have around, but since I'd rather use the newer laptop and since I still need Windows on that for work, I decided to try out putting everything on a USB stick for portability. Also, the old laptop which I might use sometimes is a bit too slow for Mint, so I needed something smaller.

So, the idea is to put the OS, the DAW, the plug-ins and samples on one single stick. I happened to have a 8gb USB that I found on a parking lot. It's kinda dirty and broken, so I figured it was perfect for the experiment. Yes, I do know that flash drives aren't good for this, and when I'm done playing around, I will probably get an external SSD for this purpose instead.

8gb is not a lot for this, but I like the challenge.

At first I wasted another evening trying to make Slax boot. I gave up and found Poppy Linux instead, since I do want the tiny and persistent kind of installation. It's a bit slow to boot into ram, but it's nice and quick once at the desktop.

For a DAW I got Reaper working just fine simply by extracting the files from the official webpage. No install required.

It recognized my MIDI devices and audio interface instantly. No issues at all, no missing dependencies or drivers or whatever, and better yet: It's still works after rebooting. I made a setup of the devices to control mixer actions in Reaper and that also saves fine as expected.

Now getting plugins is a bit of an issue. It seems that most people run Wine to use VSTs, but I decided to stick with free native Linux plugins and those are somewhat more difficult to find.

So far I've found Helm for a synth and LSP for a samples. I plan on recording real instruments mostly, so I only need the essential stuff.

I was pleasantly surprised that the linux download for LSP also ships with a bunch of effect plug-ins. Highly recommended: https://lsp-plug.in/index.php

I have yet to make any music other than test tracks, but it seems that my idea works so far. The installation is completely independent of which computer I have available, so I guess I will be using Linux in one way or the other to make music going forwards.

I get notifications on new messages that don't show in the inbox, and mark as read doesn't clear the message from unread.

Manually switching from all/unread seems to work and clears the read messages
