@gordoooo_z Not my cup of tea — too "retro" to me, but I think your mix blends well, there is something about it that makes it look consistent 👍

@gordoooo_z No, I think ESX-1 is the one I had. I got it off a friend of a friend when he was selling his older equipment, but I didn't keep it for long myself, a couple of years maybe. The knob thing is perfect for tweaking, but I didn't have much fun programming it, maybe just not my cup of tea. On the other hand I did like using MC303, maybe I was just more motivated to use it when I had it — hard to tell 🤷

@gemlog
I'm still using computers that are a decade or more old, one of my laptop is dual core, the other one is quad core and my workstation is dual quad core (8 cores in total), both laptops have 16Gb RAM, WS has 28, and the performance I get is still amazing, I just can't imagine what people do with their new and shiny 24-core (or 14 or whatever) computers with 64 Gb RAM.
Do they do all this SETI@Home thing alone over a weekend or something? 😅

Your post reminds me of this one: gemini://alex.flounder.online/gemlog/2021-01-08-useless.gmi

I wonder if there is a name for this worldview: making stuff fundamentally hard to commercialize to avoid it being controlled by big companies 🤔

Have any ideas which group might make it crash? 😏

@bugaevc Aren't at least AIX, macOS/Darwin and HP/UX (probably Tru64 too) POSIX-certified? That should make them true unices, not UNIX-likes 🤔

@mjdxp Wow, that's a rare one, maybe it's something like a golden ticket 😄

@mjdxp There was a mixup at a t-shirt factory and they mistakenly put a peppermint-flavoured one into a pack of your favourite fruity t-shirts 🤪

@luca I think it was mostly popular among people who came from DOS and have been using Norton Commander on a daily basis, younger people have never used it and don't have that warm and fuzzy feeling about two-panel file managers I guess 🤷
@Migueldeicaza @sotolf

They are the same person 🤯

@gordoooo_z I ended up selling it to an older dude who intended to use it as a sampler with his MIDI-saxophone or something like that. I don't know if that worked for him, he never wrote back 🤣

@gordoooo_z
> he ESX's step sequencer, while it doubles as a keyboard, leaves a lot to be desired
Oh, yes! Electribe's controls are the opposite of being easy to use 😅
It's like a feature complete workstation, but I always ended up just feeding MIDI events to it when not playing around with it for fun, for it to be actually useful.

@gordoooo_z
> think about chopping the keytar
Why though? I bet it'd be its main selling point when your friends come over to jam 😂
I bet touchpad is pretty bad, I have a cheap Novation keyb, which has it and it and it's just awful. Good thing it also had a 2d stick.

@gordoooo_z Wow! Discovering that RockBand mic was a normal USB audio interface was surprising enough! I have better mics, but I still use it attached to a mic stand for stuff like audio calls.
I didn't know that the keyboard was also a fully-functional MIDI-controller 🤯
KeyStation, being a proper controller, probably still has more features like aftertouch velocity, but it's just great that they've made the RockBand thing this way!

@LinuxGamer I've never tried it as I'm using either external, or built-in display, not at the same time, but I think this comment answers your question: https://github.com/swaywm/sway/issues/4771#issuecomment-563946776

@neural_meduza Учения по изгнанию панд из Крыма (https://mastodon.ml/@neural_meduza/110224185903118506) идут строго по плану (как и спецоперация).

Лучше ничего не брать! Даже старую одежду следует сжечь, пользоваться ей может быть небезопасно ⚠️

@neural_meduza Не только не воевали, но и за питанием не следили. Вот и стал песец таким полным.
