That's a nice camera stand.

RustDesk

That being said, it's developed by Chinese and communication with them is tough. Some security issues still haven't been patched (no one actually knows why, they either don't reply why or reply in Chinese with a cryptic message like "why ask this" or something weird like that). They're also notoriusly against anyone speaking anything against them (I once commented on their subreddit that the devs are mostly Chinese, so communication is kinda difficult, after someone asked why they don't reply or give scarce replies regarding issues and PRs on their GH).

Still, it's free and open source, so you can give it a spin if you'd like. The servers that come by default are super slow, the idea is to make your own (which kinda beats the point of actually having some sort of a replacement for TeamViewer or AnyDesk... if I wanted to set up my own server, there are other open source alternatives), which drew me away from it from the start.

I still use AnyDesk with version 7.0.14 for Windows and version 6.0.1 for Linux. The older Windows versions because there is no red bar over the window that says "free version" or whatever and the older version for Linux because it just works better than the latest one (6.2.x), I have no idea why.

He's right.

The problem is, most people that actually want to get started with doing music don't know the first thing about sound synthesis, so they'd rather go for the ones that have the cool preset bundles and the aditional addons, rather than actually learning something about sound engineering and synthesis and try to construct those same patches/presets with free tools.

I can understand that from a perspective of a musician which is not that interested in how sounds are constructed, dissecting them, etc., but let's face this one simple truth. We live in a digital age and if you want to be competitive on the producer market as well (not just as a musician), you have to know know at least the basics. Or, you could just buy the most expensive tools there are and just tap away on the presets till you find one that you like 🤷.

Things in life are always like that. You either spend time or money. If you don't have the latter, you spend the former.

Like me, for example. I didn't have money to fix my AC, so I spent a month trying to understand how things work exactly so I could fix it. And I did fix it, but that still meant that I was left for a month without an AC. Time is money, it's as simple as that 🤷.

I really really hope we don't date... ever.

Well, yes that is true, but still, it's not public either.

I might have to change my lingo to using DM instead of PM cuz some people don't actually know what I'm talking about.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

Yep, it was the version. I was on 0.0.40, the lastest version 0.0.41 has this fixed 😉.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

Yep, it was the version. They've fixed this in the newest version 😉.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Hm, maybe they fixed it, I'll try the new version now.

Dude, everyone calls them DMs, on FB, here, Reddit... in fact, I've never seen anyone call them PMs, except for me.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

I ran into a person the other day, I wrote "I'll PM you" and he replied "What is PM 🤨" 🤷. They may be young or just a late internet adopter, but still, that was just a sign for me that I should probably adopt the new DM lingo, as some people just don't understand what I'm talking about.

That is clear... well, at least regarding corporate social media. Admins in the fediverse can read PMs, but why would they, they have no insentive to do that. Hell, I'm still an admin of a forum and I can read all PMs but I have no incentive to do so, I couldn't care less what people talk about in private.

Still, that doesn't mean that the content of the conversation is of any interest of the company. The monetization of the converstaion, yes, but the actual converstaion, no.
