"Communist" is blurry (many anarchists might also call themselves communists), but the school of thought most associated with "communism" in common parlance is Leninism, and there are in fact deep differences between that and all schools of anarchism.

Leninism (including branches like ML, Trotskyism or Maoism) advocates for a strong, centralised "vanguard party" to carry out the revolution that doesn't have to be itself democratic. Meanwhile anarchists reject all hierarchies and therefore organise as loose federations of small groups that often seek to empower the individual. (Both are liable to turn into sects lol)

So there is a very practical difference in how they feel and are run day-to-day. That only goes for people who actually go out and join some kind of organisation though, which is pretty rare for these ideologies.

Or the Ukrainian theatre of the Russian civil war, during which the Bolsheviks tried to kill Makhno no less than four times, in spite of his movement fighting the whites alongside them.

I use yabridge for running VSTs and it is normally great, however it isn't compatible yet with the newest WINE versions.

Depending on your needs and hardware, Linux audio can bring full satisfaction. The new subsystem, Pipewire (replacing both PulseAudio and JACK) is very convenient and still low latency. Applications are still catching up but the ecosystem has made major strides in recent years.

Yes you should, and it would be even better to use it as a template to write it yourself.

MEPs will pay more attention to messages that seem genuine and from their voters rather than mass-produced by foreigners.

In their world, resisting surveillance will be probable cause for arrest, because you must have something to hide and need to be investigated.

I can't be bothered to mess with all the Microsoft stuff to install Minecraft these days so I just play Luanti to scratch that itch, it's polished enough for me but my usage is very basic.

There is Luanti with the VoxeLibre plugin.

One of the biggest criticisms of English is how reading a word doesn't teach one how it is pronounced. So it's not redundant since it addresses an actual problem.

It was indeed superseded but that doesn't mean it disappearing was good. Limitations of printing were involved.

It is annoying to read because you're not used to it. Were you used to it, you'd think "th" annoying. By your logic, everything you're not already used to is automatically bad.

It being hard to type was a question from OP.

Not everyone does it, and it's ahistorical, but I think it'd a cool way to distinguish between voiced (ð) and unvoiced (þ) dental fricatives. Why not have two different symbols for these? Eg: ðe þin faðer þinks about ðis (the thin father thinks about this).

It's not necessarily hard to type, on my computer it just happens to be AltGr+d (ð) and AltGr+t (þ).

I'm just curious, could you go into more detail about what you mean by "capitalism"?
