Yes, the first one is I think! I wonder what the second one is. It may be a direct line out, which may have higher voltage and play better with your computers line in!
if it has a headphone jack...
You can take the audio output from the headphone jack to your computers line in and record over audio recorder software. You'll likely need a headphone audio to headphone audio type cable

A couple of years ago, British Columbia tripled processing fees, justifying it by saying that Alberta charged the same fee.
Bizarro, giving The Onion a run for its money.
So here's how Ford is undermining access to information in Ontario. Federally, Carney is doing it by cutting funding to Library age Archives Canada and pushing AI-based redaction systems. None of this is acceptable.

the state of israel, like apartheid south africa, like the jim crow south, like nazi germany, has determined that crimes against a certain type of person, no matter how heinous, aren't crimes because the victims are not people. there is no "but them first" defense of israel that can stand up to it

Gould's essay is exquisite and was taken up admirably by Bowerman (who corresponded with Gould, quoted in his piece).

A young barmaid behind the bar at the famous French nightclub Folies-Bergère is staring forward in a bored, introspective way. Behind her is a mirror which reflects the lively scene. At the top left you see the green shoes of a trapeze artists. More importantly, at right you see the back of the barmaid, and see that she is face to a man who leans close and seems to be requesting something. This is Manet's famous painting "A Bar at the Folies-Bergère": https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Bar_at_the_Folies-Berg%C3%A8re
The perspective looks all wrong. You're staring straight at this barmaid, but her reflection in the mirror is way off to right. Even worse, her reflection is facing a guy who doesn't appear in the main view!
But in 2000, a researcher showed this perspective is actually possible!

We’ve been watching babies get murdered en masse for the last three years.
We’re live streaming entire families getting wiped out and the killers celebrating over the corpses.
I don’t care about Republican this or Democrat that.
I want no part of a society that revels in horror and inhumanity
Crazy how they put International Women's Day on the one day of the year with only 23 hours.
Staff at the nation’s largest Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention facility have placed bets on which detainee will be the next to die by suicide, according to new reporting from the Associated Press based on 911 calls and detainee accounts.
The Trump regime is currently holding more than three times as many detainees as Nazi Germany had six years into the Third Reich, and the stated goal of 15 to 20 million deportations would exceed the entire population that moved through the Soviet Gulag system over more than twenty years.
