Far too interesting for this community!
Maybe, but what he really has is a good scapegoat.
“Oh, we didn’t know he was demented”
“We can’t be held accountable for what a crazy pedo made us to do”
“Our intentions were good, but he went crazy”
In an effort to lift everybody’s spirits, Zuckerberg offered to host a company-wide hackathon an attempt at a lighthearted diversion that landed with a thud among employees.
lmao “Hey, you guys wanna work more, but ‘for fun’?”
Tells me that AI was already ingrained in the process. Reeks of “well, we’re doing it here & here, why not with her voice, too?”
Huh, yeah kinda weird to only have part of the project open source. Interesting
Nothing about Waveform is FOSS (afaik), but I’m on board with your idea - with open source apps I’m all for giving money to the devs making useful stuff. Waveform hiding basic functionality behind multiple $50 DLC purchases is just heinous, though.
and I’m trying to point out how dogshit Waveform’s business is & how skewed the original source material is. Nothing personal.
Is this an ad? I dunno why one would use this over Reaper. Waveform looks like a traditional “free” app that’ll slowly get features cut out & resold in their already-established “extension” store. $50 for MIDI tools?? Hard pass. Wouldn’t even have made my list of contenders with business practices like that.
From the source blog post, they limited their options to:
Sure, if you’re trying to pick a DAW out of a pile of the worst DAWs available, Waveform “Free” looks pretty good.
I’d avoid all of those options. If you’re looking for a free DAW on Linux (from someone who knows not to call Audacity a “DAW”) - Reaper has an indefinite, full-featured, free trial period. Full version is $60.
FOSS options include Ardour and LMMS, both of which include features Waveform hides behind hundreds of $$$ worth of “extensions”.
I’ve been tempted to pick up the RG35XXSP for that clam shell form, but can’t justify it when the XX+ has been such a champ.
I’ve been rocking an RG35XX+. I think it’s the same chipset as what you have?
Love it. Got it hooked up to RetroAchievements and Syncthing. Wish it could handle N64, but ah well. It’s still the über-Gameboy I dreamed of as a wee child.
AND the early PS2 models had backwards compatibility with PS1 discs, adding that incredible library from the outset.
AND it played DVDs.
It was too good.
