I’m always surprised when it happens. 99% of the time I’m just tolerated, but every once in a while someone asks. Happened last night. I was sooooooooo happy.

Oh man, when I meet an autistic person who shares a common interest…yes please give me that info dump. Not only am I interested but your enthusiasm is infectious, too.
I can even do info dumps on topics I don’t care about. I really like the passion that comes along with it.
I don’t mind those unless I’m busy…but I’ll make time if it’s a topic I’m into.
Finally someone who is interested in the stingless bees of central america, the minor canals of France, and narrow gauge rail in southeast asia.
So, what’s your first question? I bet it’s about the canal de berry and why it never sustained enough traffic to be upgraded to freycinet gauge.
Are you really going to leave me hanging after offering???
Do not, I repeat, do not infodump on someone today.
Hi, my brain is wired so that it obsesses over details, combs through data and sifts through documentation, over decades even, only some poor soul to give me attention, which promptly opens up the spigot.
Please be advised, you will know why VST2 instrument plugins can take audio input, but only because Native Instruments sort of “hacked it in” during the 2000s, even though it wasn’t apart of the VST2 specification, which Steinberg obviously isn’t a fan of, because even to this day Cubase won’t recognise audio inputs from VST2 instruments in Cubase, but you can with VST 3 instrument plugins, and even though VST4 was at some point announced, it was presumably scrapped because plans for VST5 was leaked time after, but never actually came into fruition. Really though, vendors should be distributing CLAP plugins and contributing back to CLAP, because we could really use an open standard beyond Steinberg’s proprietary SDK, but then people like Native Instruments, Arturia, etc would have to “port their plugins” over to CLAP, which shouldn’t be too hard since it’s sort of API compatible - though not really - but since they won’t see instant returns they probably won’t dedicate the billable hours… so anyways, I program Maxforlive devices nowadays - oh, wait. Butterfly…
Would it be possible to make an adaptor between CLAP and VST?
Infodump WH40K lore on me all you want. It’s better than actually playing the game.
Haha, agreed. I love hearing my friends talk about it. I do not enjoy the game.
I met a guy at a bar one night who was just starting his studies in cyber security. I’ve been doing it for years now and he was excited to hear all of my experiences, good and bad.
We entered a few CTFs together, but I’m not usually on the offensive side so he carried me a bit in the early challenges and we had to tap out when we got to the harder ones.
I haven’t seen him in a while. I should text him.

I find that texting someone something positive is usually well received. “Hey, person, been a while. I was telling someone about that fun time at blah-blah and it reminded me of you. how are things?”
Me when someone asks me to tell/teach them about one of my special interests…
Me: For real‽
Them: Yep
Me: But like, how much do you want to know?
Them: Everything
Me: Even if it’s a lot of information and takes an hour?
Them: Yes
Me: And you’ll stop me if it’s too much?
Them: Yep, I’ll stop you if it’s too much.
Me: 😮 hold on. let me think…ok… 😮💨 …so…non-stop talking for an hour possibly using props and a board/paper for illustrations. several related tangential topics come up and added to a list of topics to discuss later.
So this is a thing and I do it to everyone all of the time. TIL.
Welcome to the club. I stopped doing it once I started realizing people weren’t listening, so it’s nice when I can.
Plz no, I give u anything u want!!!
