If you'd be interested in a tracker-like DAW, Renoise has a native Linux version.
For more traditional DAWS, Bitwig and Reaper are the two best Linux native options. Reaper is quite cheap, and also offers a trial version that just nags you like winrar.
Since this isn't clearly a joke, I think you're effectively just spreading despair inducing misinformation instead, since you don't know if this is true information or not.
In the US, pensions have become extremely rare, and were mostly replaced with a 401k, which is essentially a tax deferred stock market account. Often your employer will match contributions that you put into it up to a certain point.
What if their wages hadn't allowed them to build up a 401k? They likely won't be able to survive on social security alone.
If a DOCSIS 3.0 modem still can't be saturated by the tier of internet someone is paying for, what advantage would 3.1 have?
You could use an ebike with a trailer attached.
Fractic’s tone, the repetitiveness, and gimmickery.
He's pretty much like that in most of his videos.
Just because someone did amazing stuff in the past doesn’t mean they’ll have the ability or the desire to do it in the future—the relative incentives, market conditions, technological constraints, and just plain interests are completely different than before. It’s fun to think one is changing the world and potentially getting rich by pushing the state of the art further than anyone thinks is possible. That’s not where these folks are now.
This I completely agree with. From what I can tell he's established relationships with these folk over the years during his coverage of C64 content, and likely felt having them be a part of this would legitimize it and make it feel like the 'real' commodore, but time and time again, when I've seen old legends try their hands at recapturing the magic of their past, it rarely seems to work out (a good example would be every ex-Sierra employee trying to make a new game with a kickstarter, all of which resulted in pretty sub-par stuff).
But I’d have a really hard time forking over any scratch to this guy, and will be astounded if this actually produces more than a curiosity.
I'm of the same mind.
I don't think Frantic has any sort of bad intentions or scheme planned (he's been steadily making classic computer content for over 7 years now), but I do think he's completely blinded by nostalgia, which is an ever pervasive theme in his videos, and is ultimately wildly overestimating the commercial viability of the goals he has in mind.
If he really did refinance his house to help fund all this, I don't foresee things going too well for him, as I can't really imagine them being able to put to market something that will be affordable enough and with some killer feature to truly capture a wide enough market. I also would love to be proven wrong here, but based on how the Commander X16 went, I suspect whatever they produce will be far too overpriced for what it actually is, and will end up only appealing to a small subset of similarly nostalgic Gen-x'ers who have the disposable income to get into it, similar to the Spectrum NEXT.
While I can assume the OP wrote that with a male perspective in mind, at least in DnD, Wizard is a gender neutral class. Personally I read it as an ultra-prudish character reacting, but perhaps I'm being too charitable in my interpretation.
I can't help but feel this is what it would look like if Joel Haver had a 5 million dollar budget. It has such a unique and awesome visual style.
Just to clarify, this isn't a normal toothless petition, this is an official EU mechanism that allows citizens to bring problems to the attention of the European Commission, and force them to pass judgement on it legally. You can read more about it here.
It's good to be skeptical of anything asking for that personal info, but I'd suggest researching into it to confirm that it is indeed legit.
Thank you for signing the UK one :)

The European Citizens' Initiative 'Stop Destroying Videogames' is nearing its deadline on July 31st and is still missing quite a lot of signatures. To be precise, at the time of writing this post, only 560.000 of the required 1.000.000 signatures have been reached.
Another requirement has already been fulfilled: The minimum signature threshold has been reached in 10 countries, 7 were required.
If this is the first time of you hearing about this initiative, here's a short TL;DR for you (more detailed information can be found here):
The initiative is slowly picking up speed again recently after its creator published a video explaining some of the background and why he doesn't want to continue after the initiative is over. The video has been well-received by the community and some big influencers have reported on the topic.
If you are an EU citizen and have not signed yet, THIS IS THE TIME! The month until the deadline is met will pass quickly. Use two minutes of your time to influence something that may improve your life forever!

Also, if you are a UK citizen, you can sign a UK specific legal petition that also carries legal weight (forces parliament to investigate the issue). You can sign that here: https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/702074/
Going grassroots with direct action is currently the best way to both resist and build horizontal decentralized power that isn't prone to the corruption and lobbying that the democrats have fallen to.
This method would not only work in the US, but anywhere in the world.
Union Suggestions:
If we put in the work, we can resist this and we can win. Look at how effective these methods were when used in Chile in 2019.. If we completely reject the political system and rebel on a mass scale, there is NOTHING they can do to stop us.
