It would be interesting to see just how much info is shared when lemmy requests the image. If there is [potentially] sensitive info being shared, the devs might be interested in working on it too (I have no idea how to check such a thing, this comment is just so I can find the post later when more people have shared their wisdom on it)

Soo... you're implying that correlation does equal causation, right?

While I somewhat agree with your point about the upcoming wave of invasive AI, I don't think adopting a digital hermit lifestyle is the best way through this. Think of it as the wave of PCs and smartphones: did a lot of people get negatively impacted by it? Sure, but did all (or even most) people who completely shunned the technology come out any better? Not necessarily. As this new technology became a central part of society in the past decades, the people who did the best were the ones who actively used it while simultaneously preventing themselves from...idk, developing a sort of mental dependence on it (though the degree to which most have succeeded in doing the latter is variable, the point still stays).

Now, is the upcoming AI wave the same as the smartphone wave? Well, not really. But are our options of tackling it the same? I'd say, basically yes. And that's my point: it's better to make use of this technology in ways that are less likely to backfire. Since the premise of your captology argument is that more invasive AI will be better in convincing us to buy products, this is, I'd argue, one of the perfect spots for FOSS alternatives. What if we do end up becoming addicted to some new AI app(s) that we know is (/are) manipulative? Look for alternatives not controlled by a corporation. It's not the perfect option, but in my opinion it's certainly better than completely boycotting the technology.

I thought that's the is/am/are (I forgot the term for these)

I recently purchased a copy of Ardour, and I have noticed that, but I have found most basic plugins can be found for free.

That's true. In fact, Arch linux even has a handy package (pro-audio) that installs every plugin you'll need at once. Still, some people might prefer to have plugins built-in or it might be too much hassle for them to look for every plugin from outside (it certainly was for me when I was starting out)

Oh dang it. Hopefully they'll improve the performance in poor connectivity, since it's basically unusable for me without it :/

The SIP part looks nice, I hadn't checked it out yet. Thanks!

That was my main intent for Jami as well; I like the idea and want to support it, but it will serve no purpose for me (at least currebtly). Never heard of Jitsi before, so thanks for that too :)

I don't know the language either, and any guess I make will come off as North-India chauvinist XD maybe someone else here who knows the script will point it out

For those who don't know, adrak = ginger and elaichi = cardamom in hindi (just to point out how smart the abbreviation is)

I'm not sure about LMMS as I never got to try it, but I've had it strongly recommended a few times so I figured it would work here too. The only issue I have with Ardour is that all plugins need to be installed separately (assuming OP hasn't installed them already). I also came across Stargate recently, and it seemed just fine after looking around. I can't say if it would be enough for OP, but nothing wrong with more options :)
