I used it for a while. It worked great.

If they were going to get enshittified, they should’ve been smarter about it to gradually introduce lock-in. The switching cost of going to Jellyfin is almost zero. Did it in an afternoon about a year ago. Ya done goofed, Plex

I don’t know why this is getting down voted. With regulation and healthy competition, this is what happens. When antitrust regulation is weak, R&D and innovation stops and rent seeking takes its place.

Yeah hey. It does not feel like a web app at all, never would’ve guessed!

They’ve said that this is a big stepping stone towards support for Microsoft’s graph api and lots of on-prem servers will still be using EWS for ages to come.

Incredibly sad news. You’d always see her popping up in places you wouldn’t expect, YouTube comment threads, discord servers. I followed her mastodon posts and it was heartbreaking to read her posts about looking after Jennell in her final months, but she was so upbeat and warm as well in her interactions with people. Her work is of course legendary and Jennell too made some of the Quake maps that I still play to this day.

I do like to think though that is nice that the two of them are reunited. RIP Burger Becky.

Anyone hear a loud hissing sound?

I am just starting to play around with SurgeXT, after coming from a metal background and playing mostly with amp sims, drum kits and some orchestral libraries. I feel like I’ve discovered a new world.

Who wants to give me a billion dollars to dig a hole and I’ll give you a billion to fill it back in and we’ll both say to investors we posted a billion dollars in revenue.

Fender Studio does seem like a nice alternative to something like Garageband.

I also switched away from Ableton on Windows a couple years ago. At this point, after working in several of them, I swear by Ardour.

It’s a little ugly, it’s a fair bit to wrap your head around at first, but it does serve every one of my needs. It even recently got a clip launcher much like Ableton’s “Live” view! The only thing I really miss from Ableton is its audio warping engine, but that’s long been one of Ableton’s killer features, even compared to Windows and Mac DAWs.

It kind of depends on your use case though; what are you using the DAW for? Demoing? DJing? Traditional tracking and mixing?

Also about people’s comments about Bitwig and Reaper - yes, they are indeed damned good. If you want a 1:1 parallel with Ableton and don’t mind spending a bit of money, Bitwig is about your best bet.

I think that’s q bit overblown. You have an option to use a Murena account in place of a Google account. I just said no thanks and everything works perfectly fine with no services affected. In terms of security of privacy of the Murena account itself, no idea. Never used one.

Raymond’s book is an amazing read and full of stories very much like this one.

Americans.

Yandex is Russian

Yeah, it’s come a long way. If my wife can use it without blowing a gasket, I’d call it a ringing endorsement.

Communities, friends, family and media are your discovery algorithm! Get involved in things. It makes your music acquisitions meaningful and makes the experience of discovering and listening to music so much better.

I’ll just vote with my feet

I don’t think that’s what they’re saying

If they just resigned in protest then there would be very little media attention. Arguably they’ve achieved what they set out to do
