@neural_meduza Вы потише об этом 🤫
А то ещё примут меры…

@moffintosh Sorry, it was obviously not addressed to you personally and it's not even the main topic of the article you've posted the link to. Just my thoughts, I don't get such points at all and get all agitated for no good reason 😅

@moffintosh
> Yet it has also been shrouded in controversy, not least because missions include assassinating an Iranian general clearly based on Qassem Soleimani
Bashing US is fine and dandy, but should I really sumpathize that monster? I don't think so. Did Trump do it for the good of all mankind — also doubtful, he did it to win some support back, clearly he's a populist, but does this make Iranian general worth pity? No, I just don't care if the world got rid of him.

@gordoooo_z In case I find myself in the mood for some MPC-style drumming, I have this M-Audio Trigger Finger lying around — again, it's not a synth, just a MIDI controller, but it's very comfortable to use with Live and its built-in drums.
Highly recommended as a controller BTW — the sturdiest thing I have ever owned, it lived through years of use in harsh conditions and it's still good as new! Maybe the pads got a bit less sensitive, but maybe it's my perception 🤔

@gordoooo_z Yes, no mistake, this one! Mind you, it's not a bad device, it just didn't suit me. Maybe I'm not a hardware guy 🤷
In the end I came to using only Ableton Live and only built-in instruments with a few exceptions written in Max/MSP running as VSTs (Live and Max weren't integrated at the time, they announced the merger in a year sine I started using them together, I was a visionary in a way 😂)
Then I took a long break and now I'm trying to get into music again.

@gordoooo_z
> I really thought I'd just search for a Classic Mac theme and be done with it in a few minutes 😭
Happens to me all the time! Especially on the phone — I really hate Android defaults so I just change this little thing… and you find yourself several hours later re-themeing everything 😂
But not the phone only, I'll just change that tint of green to a different one… Fsck, these no longer work together at all, I have to redo it from the ground up 🤣
And Sway isn't really too themeable!

@gordoooo_z Ha-ha, MC303 was perfect for that! Maybe it's a part of its appeal, ESX-1 is a very versatile machine and maybe because you can do literally anything some things are not very straightforward, MC303 on the other hand is very limited, it's what they call a ROMpler, you can't upload new samples into it, but the ones it has work perfectly, once you have used it, you start recognizing it a lot especially in all sorts of experimental music.

@Rezard Ну на самом деле ничего особо глупого в этом нет — это же ради эффекта. Клиппинг или что там… 🤔

I've always been wondering if there is something like that on Gemini. Now I know there is, and it looks amazing!

My personal TUI favourites:
gomuks the Matrix client (https://github.com/tulir/gomuks)
tut the Fedi/Masto client (https://github.com/RasmusLindroth/tut)
and amfora the Gemini browser (https://github.com/makew0rld/amfora)
All of them are written in Go so they are really easy to build if your platform is supported by Go.

Whoah! 😲

@theorytoe They decided to let you off the hook for once. But only this time 🤫

@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 🤔
