Why would you ever write such a thing?

A barely twenty years old technology is not gonna take over a five hundred old refined one.

More seriously, it reminds me the time when I was working on a major side project (I was unemployed, so it should maybe called a "main project") and at some point, I started to work on a very nicely crafted library that was necessary for the main project: I lost all interest in the main project and abandoned it for bad reasons.

It sounds like an alcoholic after a major hangover saying "never again".

Having cultural background to deal with non technical stuff. Being able to understand your manager, your boss, your customers, your colleagues.

I opened an issue about the semantic problem. What makes me worried is more sexism, harassment, rape culture.

It is sad that nobody else mentioned it or care about it.

I don't even know what most of these tools have to do with "sexiness" and find myself angry that people just enjoy. Is there any possible critics over there or is everything supposed to be considered as (awesome|cool|hip|sexy)?

You are supposed to receive invites only from people you know. Riseup users who deliver invites to somebody creating trouble will have their account revoked.

For those who don't know, Jack allows to plug any software, virtual instrument or sound card in/out into any other one almost as simply as it would be on a physical mixer. This is also the meaning of Freedom: you are not condemned to follow the editor choices in term of possibilities.

Then do it with Pure Data!

This is a thread about a Free / Open Source operating system announcement. Why Cubase, Live and Max are even mentioned here?

The problem for me is not superior VS inferior or impressive VS unimpressive software but free software VS closed software.

Can you modify Max?

Mini Disc or cassette seemed better because there were a case around the support that was making harder to damage it. If for some reason, a cassette was broken, it was still possible to move the tape to another case (tricky but not impossible, nice little hacks needed).

People got too fascinated by the shinny colorful reflection of CDs.

I am also french and I only use QWERTY. AZERTY don't make a lot of sense. I don't say that QWERTY is perfect, but at least, you find ",", ".", "/", {}, () and [] couples at a place that makes sense without having to AltGr and stuff. Even @ and numbers are hardly accessible.

Can you elaborate on smoking "weed to get creative"? Wich kind of tasks do you achieve by doing this?

It will be renamed PoneyPass when it will be ported to Electron.

I also use this configuration and it works well.

"Central server" for Syncthing sounds a bit weird though.

It don't change drastically the features of the application.

Do you use Vim on your phone?

Especially in France where it's 5:27.

Always ready for a GitHub down!

Take a breath. Read a book. Stop working, anyway it's Friday.

I don't like the "intuitive tool" argument because in the case of creative tools, intuition is what you use to actually create something, it is not what you use to know how to use/hold the tool: look at a physical brush, this is the simplest tool, you directly understand with your intuition how to use it, but it can take years to be able to paint something good with it.

Inkscape can be considered as a good professional tool for creative people because it's slogan "Draw Freely" is honored: once you got the basic rules about vector drawing and that you stick with it, you can create something, you won't create something because the tool created it for you by guiding you in a manner that will influence your work too much.

This is how I understand "Draw Freely", that resonate with the GNU/GPL freedom.

It is necessary to understand the basic concepts of vector drawing and memorize the shortcuts. What worked on me years ago, and made possible to switch from Illustrator to Inkscape (it was an happy transition) was this book at Flossmanuals http://write.flossmanuals.net/inkscape/about-inkscape/

Also, OpenJDKs packages exists for various GNU/Linux distributions.

Alphabet will swallow Oracle to save it's Android.

Nice sci-fi scenario.

Was Oracle present at the Trump building some days ago?

I am very amused that a 6 hours long battery life can can be so important. My laptop don't even have this battery life in sleep mode and when powered on, it must be something like 50 minutes.

Do you run in the street with the thing in your hands or drive your car with the laptop on?

>The problem with Stallman's approach is only that his purism doesn't scale.

That's why there are some organisations that fight for the right for people to buy a computer without Windows installed-by-default and get the money reimburse if they opt-out of the OS package.

Isn't there an hardware company called puri.sm by the way?

>Free software should be an integrated part of a wider movement for emancipation

This is actually what FSF claims to do as far as I understand. GPL is a law hack.
