If someone using Brave gives him money and that money goes in to a homophobic lobby it would be better for consumers to know that so they can actually consent to that. Consumers deserve to make informed decisions about who to or who not to support.
I'm sorry, I'm on the fence. I'm all onboard calling "rizz" and "skibidi" cringe, but I'm never going to stop slaying or serving.
I've seen it above that level, again because of the USB port. Definitely not arena sized, but definitely large venue sized.
Yeah, there's a Behringer desk that is ubiquitous...
You're correct but in my experience everything I've used at a venue is analog, running almost entirely off of the mixing desk, without an external computer running Win/Mac/Linux. And half of these consoles I've used had a USB port which was used for, among other things, storing templates. This allowed for our front-of-house mix engineers and monitor mix engineers to cruise along because most of the work was done at home or in other venues. The software for writing those was Windows/Mac at the least, I don't know if any used Linux and I'm not sure if they were "human-readable" text formats.
At that price point I'm not so motivated to work on something FOSS, I care more for working with the hand-to-mouth musicians than the large institutions.
Decent Sampler (and the attached Pianobook community) fits my needs perfectly well, with the exception that it's not FOSS.
This is about FOSS and I can't see that Audiotool is FOSS, and Samplers are not Sample Libraries. Sample Libraries are ubiquitous among producers who want a good sounding recreation of a real instrument but cannot afford (or morally support), for example, Pianoteq's modelling algorithms or Spitfire's premium libraries, neither of which are FOSS, or the instrument itself or a session player.
As I said, the most promising multi-sampler or sample library software with an active community was Decent Sampler, which isn't open-source and now supports DRM.
What do you mean the "live production stuff" exactly?
Again, depending on your needs perhaps Logseq is fine. It seems that developers of each app (Logseq and Obsidian namely) have this expectation of how users want to use their apps but in my experience they are both configurable to use Tags, Folders or Links to organise content. This lets you take notes and organise in several ways.
Logseq is FOSS, Obsidian is not and is more popular (thus larger community plugins/themes ecosystem). That's the main difference.
I would love for someone to walk me around what SN can do and walk someone around what Obsidian can do.
In my opinion it is a terrible choice for a company to rely on a dependency like XZ, especially maintained by one person as a hobby, without being able to meaningfully contribute to the maintenance themselves. I just don't think I can be sympathetic to a company having to maybe bend a rule or two to donate.
This is one of the problems, these companies and other groups just use a dependency maintained by one person (Lasse) without meaningfully contributing to its survival themselves.
It's not about the files, I'm very happy with files being local and easily synced and messed with. It is as you say, you create a folder which Obsidian reads as a "vault" and create .md files and folders in there, plus the hidden folders that let Obsidian organise plugins...
But I'm also not exclusively using it on Android, it's my desktop driver for just about everything text. Especially please with the community plugins which make it extremely accessible for someone with additional needs when it comes to reading or writing, the recent improvements to tables and the plugins that integrate it with Pandoc and Zotero.
I was never able to replace what it was with anything except maybe Logseq, and even the Logseq couldn't replace all of the functionality and theming. I tried living a few days in Logseq, just moving my vault there, but it didn't work so well.
It's not a major issue, I would like to move to FOSS but it's not an emergency like moving away from Google is an emergency.
I've looked at these, especially LMMS, but in my view they aren't enough (or good enough) to completely escape non-FOSS.
Sample Library plugins, my area of interest, are under two or three banners: Kontakt, Decent Sampler and SF. None of these are appropriately free, although Decent Sampler shows the most promise of breaking down the class divide in this area.
Software for the production of music and audio, like Ardour but for more platforms which more typical people could use more easily, plus plug-ins for that ecosystem. It's a major sticking point how corporate that field is for me.
I regret I'm probably never escaping Obsidian. For a closed-source piece of software it has such a beautiful ecosystem of themes and plugins. I love to use it for writing my blog articles, and the mostly strict adherence to the markdown spec, the HTML rendering and plugins that add support for Pandoc (and Zotero)...
But by default I can't seem to get Logseq in that space, even if I really want to, where I only organise files based on metadata and folders.
Eternity doesn't render that fine and neither do any of the websites and frontends I've tried. It's likely Raccoon in specific renders this as you intended, but it is in the markdown spec — that Lemmy mostly follows — that "strictly" two line breaks are needed to render one line break in HTML.
It isn't very "what you see is what you get"...
