      Not so good, as two local competitors rose much faster.

    Good design: Tiny Soundop sound editor, like a breath of fresh air
    • image

      Installer is 14 megabytes. I am serious, for x64 version. For 32 bit it is 12.5mb.

      $99 only at https://ivosight.com/

      And it has spectrum editor (very simple). Works perfect with MKV and MP4 videos (you can have docked or overlay video visible). Sadly, can't mux audio back (or I didn't find how) and you need to use avidemux for it. Has all necessary stuff, and normally works with most useful plugins that I tried. But sometimes it can hang with some VST3 plugins especially, so make sure to check first.

      Huge contrast with modern bloated mess.

    Scam: Meta universe as new giant scam that will be much bigger than crypto
    • According to investors and analyst firms, metaverse real estate sales topped half a billion dollars in 2021 and could double this year. According to MetaMetric Solutions, real estate sales across the four major metaverse platforms reached $501 million in 2021. In January 2022, sales reached $85 million, so analysts predict that real estate sales in the metaverse will exceed $1 billion very soon.

      The surge in popularity of real estate in the metaverse is due to the announcement of the renaming of Facebook to Meta, which is associated with the company's desire to focus on creating virtual worlds. The announcement was made on October 28 last year, and in November, metaverse real estate sales nearly tenfold to $133 million. Since then, market growth has slowed down, but total sales for January are still more than 10 times higher than January 2021.

      Capitalism during its last days is really amazing. It is like terminal cancer. Lack of food, huge mean prices and same time selling NFT and this shit.

    War: Ukraine war can be real danger
    • ABBYY, known for its solutions in the field of recognition and input of documents, linguistics and translation, has removed a significant part of its software products from the register of domestic software supervised by the Russian Ministry of Digital Development.

      Representatives of the developer told IT publications that the company filed applications for the exclusion of software on its own initiative.

      In total, two dozen ABBYY products (the copyright holder of Abi Production LLC) lost their registration in the registry, while most of them were excluded quite recently, on January 24th. Among those are FineReader PDF, FineReader Server, PDF Transformer, Recognition Server, Smart Classifier, Comparator, Mobile OCR Engine, FlexiCapture, Business Card Reader and other solutions.

      The true reason for the removal of the company's products from the registry was the transfer of rights to the software to its US legal entities. "Yes it is. ABBYY continues to expand its presence in the international market and diversifies its assets in accordance with the company's key regions of presence. The development of sales in the international market allows us to invest in new areas and technologies and, as a result, provide more and more jobs for engineers of our R&D centers in Russia, develop research activities and support education in the country,” the company said.

      Remember - capitalist have no homeland and they don't want to suffer from sanctions, even if it means selling their own mother. Abby is one of the top exploiters in Russia, where their code base had been made for 3-6 times less money compared to common world prices for same work.

    MAGA: Buybacks tragedy
    • Who has ensured the growth of the US stock market over the past 5 years? Fed and investment banks? Of course, however, buybacks and dividends are the main long-term driver of increasing the capitalization of companies, while over the past five years, the main buyers in the US have been the companies themselves in terms of cumulative net cash flows. Dividends and buybacks have risen to anomalous levels in recent years, exceeding $1.3 trillion for corporate America.

      From 2017 to 2021, more precisely from Q4 2016 to Q3 2021 inclusive, the disposition is as follows ...

      Over the last five years, dividends and buybacks amounted to 5.7 trillion for companies that form at least 90% revenue and at least 90% of capitalization from all public American companies traded on US exchanges.

      From Q4 2011 to Q3 2016 the total volume was 3.93 trillion, from Q4 2007 to Q3 2011 much less – 2.5 trillion, and from Q4 2002 to Q3 2007 only 1.53 trillion. More than 60% (or more than 3.5 trillion) of the integral volume of distribution of all buybacks and divas across all companies are concentrated in the first 66 companies that spent over 20 billion dollars on shareholder policy over 5 years. The first 20 companies form almost 36% of all divas and buybacks, and the first 10 companies form about 25%! Incredible concentration..

      Apple distributed a whopping 400 billion, followed by Microsoft with 167 billion, JP Morgan Chase 140 billion, Bank of America 120.5 billion, Oracle Corporation 120.5 billion, Wells Fargo & Company 116 billion, Google 100 billion, Citigroup 85 billion, Cisco Systems 80 billion, and AT&T Inc. 79 billion

      The radical shift in shareholder payouts is concentrated in a small group of technology and financial companies.

    Capitalism: Independent science does not exist
    • Researchers at the University of Pittsburgh and Geisinger Commonwealth School of Medicine reviewed one hundred and eighteen authors who published thirty-one clinical trials in JAMA and NEJM in 2017 and declared that they were not financially interested.

      In fact, it turned out that pharmaceutical companies paid a total of $7.48 million to the participants in these publications. Of the one hundred and six authors who received payments (almost 90% of the total), eighty-six (81%) did not receiving payments from pharmaceutical companies.

      Fees ranged from $6.36 million to $1.49 million. Pharmaceutical companies paid for travel, meals, speeches, and consulting services for study authors.

      According to the decision of the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors (ICMJE), researchers must provide information on financial disinterest and payments received in the last three years before the publication of the article. However, most authors do not.

      Nice.
