The entire copyright thing needs to stop. It is preventing great music from being made or at least released publicly.

I understand that some musicians get nice royalties and this is their full-time thing, but most of us get close to nothing from streaming and barely break even from record sales.

I'd rather get nothing and be allowed to sample and remix everything.

B612 Font Family 3 years ago

Strange, the background image of the site's header shows a very nice cockpit font indeed, but the actual B612 font is quite different - for instance zeros have no line through them. Though the oxygen indicator seems to use this font.

I do a similar hack: when I feel especially "procrastinaty" and can't seem to get into doing the thing I'm supposed to I break things that I have on my plate down to lists with sublists that often have sublists (that often have sublists, recurse).

It's not always useful, but it does eventually consume enough resources to starve the anxiety thread and some of these lists end up as the (pre)analysis for the tasks I'm supposed to be working on.

Sometimes I don't get a good list for the task I'm currently expected to solve but I make progress on some other thing that piqued my interest. This helps me justify spending the time on just making lists because not all of it is useless and lessens the anxiety about not getting anything done.

When I do get a good enough list for the thing I'm supposed to be doing I usually feel less anxiety about doing it because I know exactly what I'm supposed to be doing.

Not parent but i feel i share some of his concerns: an even better markdown editor would be nice. The current one is better than a lot of others but would love if it eventually supported more markdown concepts.

Personally i have these things that bother me:

* an option for a fixed width font in markdown editor (i like the look of the raw editor but i like the convenience of the markdown one)

* code syntax highlighting

* creating/changing tables with less effort

* very aggressive quoted text styling in light mode

Thanks for making reasonable software. :)

I can totally agree with them not implementing complex things the community is dreaming of for the Digitakt. Be it a business decision or a hardware/architecture limitation. But I cannot imagine what kind of software design would prevent moving all notes on a midi track up or down n semitones.

Also for any reasonable sequencer architecture implementing such a feature should not be difficult (might even call it trivial(tm)), leaving only the option that this is intentional.

Would be very interested to know the reasons behind this.
