Why a professor of fascism left the US: ‘The lesson of 1933 is – you get out’

She finds the whole idea absurd. To Prof Marci Shore, the notion that the Guardian, or anyone else, should want to interview her about the future of the US is ridiculous. She’s an academic specialising in the history and culture of eastern Europe and describes herself as a “Slavicist”, yet here she is, suddenly besieged by international journalists keen to ask about the country in which she insists she has no expertise: her own. “It’s kind of baffling,” she says.
In fact, the explanation is simple enough. Last month, Shore, together with her husband and fellow scholar of European history, Timothy Snyder, and the academic Jason Stanley, made news around the world when they announced that they were moving from Yale University in the US to the University of Toronto in Canada. It was not the move itself so much as their motive that garnered attention. As the headline of a short video op-ed the trio made for the New York Times put it, “We Study Fascism, and We’re Leaving the US”.
Starkly, Shore invoked the ultimate warning from history. “The lesson of 1933 is: you get out sooner rather than later.” She seemed to be saying that what had happened then, in Germany, could happen now, in Donald Trump’s America – and that anyone tempted to accuse her of hyperbole or alarmism was making a mistake. “My colleagues and friends, they were walking around and saying, ‘We have checks and balances. So let’s inhale, checks and balances, exhale, checks and balances.’ I thought, my God, we’re like people on the Titanic saying, ‘Our ship can’t sink. We’ve got the best ship. We’ve got the strongest ship. We’ve got the biggest ship.’ And what you know as a historian is that there is no such thing as a ship that can’t sink.”

Novo Nordisk Loses Canadian Patent Protection For Blockbuster Diabetes Drug Over Unpaid $450 Fee

Pharmaceutical giant Novo Nordisk forfeited patent protection for semaglutide -- the active ingredient in blockbuster diabetes and weight loss drugs Ozempic and Wegovy -- in Canada after failing to pay a $450 maintenance fee in 2019. The company had paid maintenance fees through 2018 but requested a refund for the 2017 fee, apparently seeking more time to decide whether to continue protecting the patent.

Music Production and Software Synthesizers/VST's under Linux

Hey everyone,

When I was previously on windows I had a lot of fun doing music production. My workflow took place in FL studio and used a lot of software synthesizers (VST files mainly).

After my switch to Linux, I am 95% better off. Everything is great except I have to rediscover a music workflow.

It's quite painful because I had licenses to some very expensive software synth libraries (The Arturia V collection for example). I have done some reading and have found that while it is possible to get FL studio working in Linux, it still doesn't have the greatest of results.

As far as that goes, I am not terribly concerned - Reaper, Bitwig, and other Linux DAW's exist and I am fine using those instead even if it means purchasing a license for the paid ones.

But the real problem is the software centers/Licenses/installations for my software synths. It would be such a shame and a waste of money if I couldn't get these working, but I don't know much about dealing with this on Linux, so I am appealing to your collective knowledge.

I wanted to ask if anyone has successfully installed the Arturia V collection on Linux for use in a DAW, and if so, what you think I should know about it. I thought I read somewhere about some software these could be emulated/installed through (not wine), but I'm just really open to hearing about recommended options for something like this if anyone knows.

Otherwise, I wanted to ask my musical Linux friends here what they have for VST's and what their workflow is on Linux, because it's always fun to develop new work flows.

Thanks

As others mentioned in this thread, yabridge running in a native Linux DAW is a great setup. I personally use Reaper with yabridge, Serum, and a few other vsts here and there.

For others who are more knowledgeable than me: is there any reason (engineering-wise) why these plugins are made for Windows? Are there not cross platform and open source frameworks that let you compile audio plugins for Windows + Mac + Linux with minimal effort?

I genuinely don't know anything about audio programming, I'm just curious.

I'm in the same position. I've got several paid VST that I'd like to use in Reaper on Linux but haven't gotten around trying to fiddle about when the installer fails. Not very experienced with Wine and quirks.

Somebody told me I'd be easier off getting installer free cracked versions of the software I already paid for but idk about malware and such in pirated software nowadays. Is it possible to containerize VSTs so they have access to nothing but their instance of Wine?

To use .dll VSTs on Linux with Reaper, i use yabridge. If i understood correctly it mixes the use of the linux .so VST format and Wine to trick the VSTs into thinking they run on Windows. So you can run Reaper outside of Wine, and automatically have access to Windows VSTs (once you setup yabridge properly).

It has some huge limitations (most Waves plugins are a big no, getting Kontakt to work seems to involve black magic way beyond my understanding, etc) but i got some plugins to work very well!

On the safety of Wine, i'm not sure at all. From what i understand of this forum, Wine itself is not really dangerous, but it does not block applications from communicating with Linux filesystem and environment so it's not 100% safe. However you are slightly protected by the niche aspect of Linux, which makes it unlilely for attackers to take time to code a virus that handles Linux way of working. And from my small experience with hacked VSTs on Windows, most werent a threat, especially when i took them from the same hacking team

Welcome and congrats on your migration under GNU/Linux.

VST is a proprietary format therefore it is made to not work on linux.
On linux synth or virtual instruments are LV2 plugins (like Helm, Surge or Vitalium) or SF2/SFZ soundbank (played with Sfizz or Fluid Synth).

Now Ardour, Bitwig and Reaper can load VST plugins, but :
- Some won't just work,
- Some will work pretty much the same (Kontakt seems to be working for some person, but it depends on the version I think),
BUT if the VSTs needs to be installed before hand (like Kontakt, Spitfire, SINE and I think Arturia V falls into that), you will have to install them first using Wine (or with a wine front-end, like Bottles, Heroic, Lutris). Then load them in your DAW, if they don't work there after being properly download and installed, I don't think there is anything much to do...
... Apart from try using a bridge (like Lin-VST or Yabridge), but here against results are still very unpredictable. I got some pretty god results with both on the past, but on my new setup none would work for my plugins (Spitfires mostly).

These companies won't make their plugins available under Linux cause 'there isn't enough people using it on linux' (words of someone at Spitfire who I was asking the question).

My workflow for production in a few words :
- One PC (recording, mixing, mastering) with a midi keyboard,
- One PC virtual instruments only, I use it when project requires lot of instrument tracks.

Edit : Yeah Carla can be used as well, it can load VST plugins and act like a plugin library (pretty much like Kontakt).

Are you familiar with yabridge? It can take a windows vst (.DLL) and create a Linux counterpart (.so) that daws can scan and open normally.

github.com/robbert-vdh/yabridg…

In my experience, it works pretty much perfectly about 80% of the time, and the remaining 20% are buggy but useable, or rarely completely broken. I don't have Arturia's V Collection, but I have Analog Lab 5 and that runs without bugs. If they are built with similar technology, then you might expect V Collection to work as well.

So the V collection is similar to analog lab in that it can be downloaded from the same software center and may use their licensing from that, but the gripe is whether or not I need Arturia's software center installed somehow in the first place. Is your version of analog lab licensed? If so, do you recall how you got it installed/working/Licensed under linux (using their software center or some other way?). I am not sure if you can just grab a VST/LV2 from them - I was under the impression you needed to install your licensed products via that software center.

Thanks

in reply to golden_zealot • 3 mesi fa • •

So I recently reinstalled Linux on my machine but hadn't bothered to reinstall Analog Lab, so I just did that now to confirm it still works. It was really easy.

From their website I got the installer, and ran Analog Lab V Setup.exe with Wine. I went through the setup wizard just like you would on Windows, and then manually moved the vst file from the Wine directories into my normal vst location (~/.vst). After this, I generated the .so file with yabridge. This is also a really simple process. If you are using yabridge for the first time, you need to tell it where your plugins are:

$ yabridgectl add path/to/vst

After that, generate the .so files:

$ yabridgectl sync

Once this is done, your DAW of choice should be able to find and open the plugin. For me, Analog Lab V opened without issue and prompted me for my account info. Here's Analog Lab V on my machine:

Edit: I forgot to mention my copy is legit and it activated no problem.

So this is kind of going to be weird advice. Maybe not exactly what you are looking for.

You don't need all those synths and plugins. You really don't. You can get so, so far just by learning to use the tools that are built into Reaper or Bitwig.

There are really only a handful of audio effects that "really exist" a lot of FX plugins are just complex chains with fancy UIs. But if you understand what they're doing "under the hood" you can reproduce almost any sound from from the basic building blocks you have.

The same is true for synthesisers. You truly only need one synth as long as it is a flexible, general purpose modern synth. Learning to use one specific synth to it's full potential will let you make almost any sound you can imagine. Vital synth is a perfect candidate here btw.

Overall I kind of think part of the Linux mindset in general is kind of about doing things your self based on an understanding of the core principals at play.

That being said, there are tons of plugins coming out with native Linux support all the time and it's getting better every day.

I'm actually about to drop some Linux builds of some plugins myself but I don't want to dox myself here so that will have to remain a mystery for now.

in reply to vala • 3 mesi fa • •

You truly only need one synth as long as it is a flexible, general purpose modern synth

It's an ungodly amount of trouble to make an additive synth work like an FM synth and neither of those can accomplish what a wavetable synth does without even more work so I really have to disagree. Vital is great, but it would take way too long to make it do what Arturias Vocoder V does for example, or even at that, as easy to use for that specific purpose.

Technically you are correct, but I would rather spend my time making music instead of spending hundreds or thousands of hours setting up automations and almost unnoticeable tweaks to make each effect and each instrument work in a way I want them to (like if I want a specific sound of known instruments).

Like, I could make a full song with several "instruments" using one sample of a spoon falling off of a table too, and that's neat, but it's also not what I want to be doing. If I wanted this involved of a workflow, I would probably be making my music in a tracker or on a physical, fully modular synthesizer.

Inspirations come a lot easier when you have many synths with many presets in my experience, and tweaking a lot of their parameters for the sounds they make are usually simple if you are using the actual thing you want instead of something else.

Furthermore, most of Arturias V collection are emulations of the real physical hardware, and this is why I like them. I could use vital to try to emulate a Juno-106 with degraded voice chips, but the Arturia Juno emulation lets you do this with 2 clicks.

Anyway, I know what you are trying to say, but it is not what I am looking for most of the time. For stuff like that I play around with my Roland P-6 and Korg Monotrons.

Thanks.

I tried to use Bitwig but I just couldn't in the end. No single click note delete that I could find out how to do in a reasonable amount of time and the workflow is just different enough to FL to me to irritate, it seemed like really nice software for Ableton-minded folks though.

I had similar problem. I started with fl studio and then changed windows to linux and tried so hard to make fl work on arch, but it was too glitchy. I tried alot: ardour, tracktion waveform, bitwig demo and almost every foss daw and ended at reaper, when u understand it is kinda better than fl, u can make really heavy customization, dont like 1 click note insert? Change it in preferences to what u like, its the same problem with every program, start learning and u will find it easy and fun to use, for plugins as some other people in this comment section said, yabridge, i use amplitube 5 for guitar with it.

What you really need is one of native DAWs you mentioned combined with Windows VST plugins run using Yabridge + WINE.

I remember running even complex VSTs along with realtime MIDI processing from e-drums with really good results and low latency.

1) Make sure your distro runs Pipewire and has pipewire-jack installed. Run your DAWs with JACK backend

2) You can check wiki.archlinux.org/title/Profe… for tips regarding audio performance. Don't worry if you don’t use Arch-based distro. Most of it applies to any distro really

3) Install wine and yabridge follow setup instructions on how sync your plugins, which essentially takes specified locations with VST2/VST3 DLLs and creates .so equivalents (Linux dll format) under specified location that under the hood calls Wine, but makes it transparent. You add that location (with .so files) in your DAWs search paths and it should scan those plugins like if they were native.

Of course some compatibility issues are possible, but you should be able to run most stuff this way when it comes to plugins.

I had many VSTs on Windows. After making the switch to Linux, ported them using Yabridge. But I kept using them less and less. Now I'm on Bigwig and I hardly use any third party VSTs at all. Hell, I don't even use 99% of my samples because Bitwig is so versatile. I usually take their native stuff and tweak it to my likings, and fast! So even if that is not what you asked, I recommend leaving it all behind and start fresh with just Bitwig. It really doesn't need anything else to make music on Linux. And it feels great to let go of all the digital baggage.

I use it since v2 and became an instant fanboy. Back then there was only the full version. I probably don't use all the features all the time, but it's so much fun to play around, discover sounds, modulate stuff, chain up effects and build little machines. It's such an advanced piece of software, compared to any other DAW. So if you can spare the 300 bucks, then go for the full version! It's definitely worth it and on summer sale right now.

I will say that I'm not really a musician however I've found LMMS and VCV Rack to be two options I really like . neither are well described as DAWs , LMMS is from what I understand close to a DAW with the exception of not supporting audio tracks aside from samples and VCV Rack is a Eurorack simulator .

just to be clear : this isn't likely good advice unless you really want to experiment

The reality is, to get these Windows VSTs to work on Linux, is possible via 2-3 ways, but they're crashy, and sometimes will work, and after an OS upgrade might stop working (as it happened last year with yabridge under ubuntu) etc. The truth is, you can't rely 100% on these VSTs anymore under Linux, it's too hairy of a situation overtime. You might be able to get it working for a project, and two years later to try to reload that project, only to have these plugins not working anymore, so the project would crash on you and not be able to load it anymore.

If you want to switch to Linux, you will need to use the well supported, native plugins only that get updated regularly for new linux versions. Yes, it's a waste of money for your existing purchases, but this is what's true for everyone who have ever bought Windows software in the past, and they're now switching to Linux. Maybe you can sell them?

Alternatively, use Windows for your audio work, and if you want to stay on Windows 10, make sure that this computer is not on the internet connected anymore (due to not receive security updates anymore), and use Linux for your everyday computer tasks.

sala dei libri inaugurata online con già pochi tomi, ma ufficialmente libreria digitale senza dei topi

Nel mentre che, come al solito, sclero medio-fortissimamente, dato che non riesco neanche per idea a mettere in ordine la mia libreria fisica (ma questo è un argomento per un diverso post, più incazzato), in questo ultimo paio di giorni mi è saltata in mente l’idea di perlomeno mettere in ordine quella digitale, di mia libreria… O meglio, piuttosto costruirla ufficialmente, visto che francamente il termine “libreria” non è il più adatto per la mia condizione pregressa in tal senso (che è ovvero formata di file sparsi in giro tra archiviazione cloud, torrent scaricati e non, disco del PC quasi pieno, e roba ancora diversa con di mezzo Kindle e tablet). 🤥
Con buona pace di chi è contro l’illimitata condivisione libera dell’informazione (contro la “dittatura del dominio pubblico“), quindi, ho semplicemente scelto di creare un nuovo sito dalle implicazioni teoriche come sempre squisitamente discutibili, in cui manterrò una collezione più o meno curata di quelli che — un po’ perché mi faceva ridere, ma un po’ perché è tecnicamente una descrizione più accurata — in realtà non chiamo libri, bensì tomi, ossia volumi di cose… letteratura, saggistica, manga, manuali, PDF colorati; in generale roba intrigante che è bene preservare ordinatamente. 🤗
Quindi, prendendo semplicemente ispirazione dalla già per mano mia esistente Sala Museo Games (a partire dal generatore di sito statico, che anche in questo caso è stato Jekyll, dopo aver perso per l’ennesima volta tempo a cercare invano soluzioni alternative più flessibili ma non troppo), ho messo su il sito tomistico-topastico più epico che io abbia mai visto, TOMOSTASH: https://gamingshitposting.github.io/TomoStash/!!! (Si, è sul namespace di GamingShitposting perché mi seccava creare un’organizzazione GitHub separata; e poi, così fa ancora più ridere.) 🐭

A parte il solito gusto della collezione di dati pubblica, per cui come tutti sanno io ho per ottime ragioni un’ossessione (fosse anche solo il fatto che, stranamente, tendo sempre a perdere i dati che tengo privati nel mio disordine generale, mentre pubblicando sul web in qualche modo non perdo mai cose dentro una discarica di bit), questo sito mi sarà utile anche per eventuali recensioni future di mie letture stellari, dove potrò semplicemente linkare alla pagina di un dato tomo per l’acquisto da fonti ufficiali, download dei file digitali gratuiti da me accuratamente archiviati e conservati, o addirittura lettura in browser di diversi formati!!! 😇
Queste fiturs sono ovviamente già lì, sul mio bel sito de’ tomi, ma a lungo termine ci sarebbero anche ancora ulteriori miglioramenti possibili che… spero verranno concretizzati, ma purtroppo Octt Del Breve Futuro è completamente imprevedibile anche per me (Octt Dell’Attuale Presente), quindi meglio non fare spoiler. E, per quanto ci sia il rischio che questo nuovo progetto secondario lastricato di buone intenzioni finisca come la Sala Museo Games, ossia bello e funzionante ma con una libreria stagnante, perché non ci sarà altra gente che vorrà contribuire su GitHub con manodopera dataentryante… spero se ne possa fare buon uso. 🚀
Vabbè… a parte sistemare la home del sito — che in foto qui è come dovrebbe essere, mentre chi lo va a vedere subito ora scopre che c’è dello scombinamento con l’allineamento della griglia, ops — e riempire la libreria con cadenza continua e qualità alta — che è la cosa più difficile, perché per i tomi che già si trovano su Internet non è facile procurarsi e valutare il file migliore possibile disponibile, ma è qualcosa di importante per una raccolta che si prefigge l’evitare che le menti esplodano navigando — alcune delle tecniche che mi invento qui sopra potrebbero essere utili anche per migliorare la Sala Museo Games, quindi… se andrà bene, non solo non avrò perso tempo, ma ne avrò guadagnato?! Boh! 😝

WhatsApp is adding ads to the Status screen

After years of providing free services without any bells attached, WhatsApp is now going to start showing ads on the popular chat app. To be clear, users will only see ads on the Status screen — the app’s take on Instagram’s Stories.
So just like you see an ad after watching a few stories on Instagram, you will see ads on WhatsApp after you’ve scrolled through a few Status updates.
The company said that its ad mechanism uses signals like users’ country or city, language, and the channels they’re following, as well as data from ads that users interact with.

Meta said it is not using personally identifiable data, such as users’ phone numbers, messages, calls, and groups to serve targeted ads. If a user has added their WhatsApp account to Meta’s Account Center, the company will use their Account preferences to show ads.

Best multi-identity anonymity-focused email client

Hi, I'm looking for a mail client that is well suited for managing multiple identities and can easily handle routing everything over an anonymity network.

I would use Thunderbird, but I think when you take it online, it downloads from all your connected email accounts. I want to "go online" at will toward particular email addresses, in other words I do not want my upstream mail provider to be able to associate my accounts in any way, including access time, assuming there is a large enough other pool of people using the same client/anonymity network.

Are there any that are well made for this purpose? Otherwise I will use the mail frontend over Tor or something, but it would be nice to have a lightweight client-side application too so I can keep my emails downloaded and delete them from the server.

This sounds like a job for email aliasing.

in reply to Ulrich

Grapes

in reply to Ulrich • 3 mesi fa • •

I should clarify that I already have multiple email accounts, so extra aliasing is not necessary. I'm looking for an email client application I can run on my desktop which separates the accounts well enough from the email provider.

in reply to Grapes

Ulrich

in reply to Grapes • 3 mesi fa • •

How many is "multiple"? You asked for "anonymity focus". Having 3 different accounts doesn't solve that.

Right now I have 663 aliases. Everyone who asks me for an email address gets an alias.

Not trying to argue with you, and I'm sorry I don't have an answer for you, I just think this will better fit your needs.

in reply to Ulrich

Grapes

in reply to Ulrich • 3 mesi fa • •

The difference is that the alias provider or destination email provider can associate all your accounts with your identity. I do not want to give this ability to either the alias provider or the email provider. It is a different threat model. (Please correct if I am wrong)

I did not say how many different accounts I have, but you can assume my separation of accounts is sufficient for my needs.

Can consider using more than 1 email application. Or using Firefox's containers and access your email service via web (opening the tabs to your email service only when needed).

If you want to prevent IP triangulation stuff, can consider stuff like Port Master or network namespace (if Linux). Idea is that you will run different email applications for different email accounts, and each application will pass through a different VPN tunnel.

Honestly like what others said, I would look towards email aliasing. I usually recommend email aliasing for any activity which you know it would be for a read-only email (ingress/incoming).

Egress/Outgoing is harder to recommend unless its extremely informal or its used to reply to bots.

This way its harder to triangulate your activities through email, as each account uses a unique email alias.

Russian strike targets Boeing office in Kyiv in deliberate attack on US business, FT reports — With no new US aid packages on the horizon, can Ukraine continue to fight Russia? — Ukrainian agents cause millions in damage during secret sabotage operation i

Russia’s war against Ukraine

At a Father’s Day celebration, children whose fathers died in the war take part in the ‘Native Angel’ art project in Lviv, Ukraine, June 15, 2025. Business representatives, volunteers, military personnel, dog handlers, police officers, partners from the Red Cross, and children’s groups took part in the celebration. (Olena Znak/Anadolu via Getty Images)

Ukrainian agents cause millions in damage during secret sabotage operation in Russia, HUR source says. Ukraine’s military intelligence (HUR) ignited an electrical substation during a sabotage operation in the Russian city of Kaliningrad, causing $5 million in damage and cutting electricity to a military production site, a source in HUR told the Kyiv Independent.

Russian strike hit Boeing office in Kyiv in deliberate attack on US business, FT reports. “This is not just an attack against Ukraine, but also an attack where American business is being hit,” said Andy Hunder, President of the American Chamber of Commerce in Ukraine.

Russia reports Ukrainian drone attack on drone factory in Tatarstan. The drones were shot down, but the debris fell on a plant in the town of Yelabuga, where Shahed-type attack drones are manufactured, causing a fire.

Another 1,200 bodies of fallen Ukrainians return home after exchange with Russia. Law enforcement investigations and institutions from Ukraine’s Interior Ministry will examine and identify the bodies in the near future, the Coordinating Headquarters for the Treatment of Prisoners of War said.

Russian mass attack hits energy infrastructure in Poltava Oblast. Of the 183 drones Russia launched, Ukrainian air defense neutralized 159, Ukraine’s Air Force said. Ukraine also shot down 2 Kinzhal ballistic missiles and six out of eight cruise missiles.

Trump says he’s ‘open to’ Putin mediating between Israel, Iran. “Yeah, I would be open to it,” U.S. President Donald Trump said. “He is ready. He called me about it. We had a long talk about it. We talked about this more than his situation. This is something I believe is going to get resolved.”

‘Spit in face’ — Zelensky condemns Russia’s mass attack, dismisses idea of Putin as peacemaker. “This is Russia’s spit in the face of everything the international community is trying to do to stop this war … At the same time as Putin tries to portray himself as a mediator for the Middle East. The level of cynicism is staggering.”

North Korean losses exceed 6,000 in Russia’s Kursk Oblast, UK intelligence reports. North Korea has lost over 6,000 troops in Russia’s Kursk Oblast—more than half of its deployed force, according to a June 15 UK defense intelligence report.

Ukraine catches Russian agent secretly filming airfield, Ukrainian Security Service says. If found guilty, the 24-year-old native of Rivne Oblast faces life imprisonment for high treason.

Trump arrives at G7 summit ahead of high-stakes meeting with Zelensky. The anticipated third meeting, scheduled for June 17, will focus on sanctions, peace talks, weapons purchases, and economic relations — and may shed light on the future of U.S. support for Ukraine.

Human cost of Russia’s war

5 Ukrainians dead in Israel after Iranian missile strike. Ukraine’s Foreign Ministry told the Kyiv Independent that the five Ukrainian citizens, including three children, came under fire in an attack on a residential building in Bat Yam, south of Tel Aviv.

Ukrainian actor Yuriy Felipenko killed on the front line. Felipenko was well known for his role in the 2024 series “A Promise to God” before joining the Achilles Strike Drone Battalion, part of Ukraine’s 92nd Assault Brigade, in April 2024.

General Staff: Russia has lost 1,003,860 troops in Ukraine since Feb 24, 2022. The number includes 1,170 casualties that Russian forces suffered just over the past day.

International response

EU leaders call for tougher sanctions on Russia at G7 summit. “We must put more pressure on Russia to secure a real ceasefire, to bring Russia to the negotiating table, and to end this war. Sanctions are critical to that end,” European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said.
