I guess how new are you talking? I think this said it was based on the 2019 release, but I haven’t heard much about recent releases. Winamp 2 was the classic one most people remember. Winamp 3 was a rewrite that was supposed to be better under the hood but a lot of people didn’t like it, mainly for the new interface it seemed. They jumped to Winamp 5 (2+3) to restore much of the old interface while keeping the capabilities of 3. I never had issues with 5 and continued to use it through Windows 7. Haven’t used Windows much since then so I don’t know how it runs now. There have been very rare point updates since AOL took over and later sold it, mostly bugfixes.

Like, I don’t need to have TSW5? It will just put them on my account if I ever do buy it later?

Question I’ve been meaning to ask: if I start with cloud can I move to self-hosted later? I’ve seen this before and it feels like a product I could make good use of, especially for getting tabs closed.

I still replay both every few years; finished Portal 2’s co-op with the kiddo earlier this year.

I haven’t done any programming in over 20 years, but I think I can make a contribution to projects by trying to improve documentation, once I start using some projects

I’ve seen multiple markdown standards; which one did you implement?

At quick glance Panoramax looks interesting (I have looked some at the others in the past) but lots of the website is in French even selecting English. Maybe that’s something I can assist with.

Yes, I just didn’t realize that auto-renew doesn’t work with PayPal on NameCheap and had lazily set it up with PayPal when I got it because I didn’t want to go get my wallet. Lesson learned!

I had this happen with NameCheap. I’m not sure if they bought it or someone else, but it stayed registered with them. Whoever bought it has held it for a couple years, put up a fake website to look like they were using it, but took it down after a year when I didn’t bite on buying it. Current status shows it’s pending deletion finally for abuse or non-payment. I keep checking to see when I can nab it again.

I remember a really smart, very nerdy family friend telling us about Linux around 1997/98 and this was the experience he described. It sounded interesting but also like a crazy amount of work.

Thank you!

As someone who has done no programming since taking C++ in high school more than 20 years ago, what do you mean by safer language?

~15-20% is nothing to sneeze at, but hardly dominance

I really need to try to learn Resolve. There just seems to be so much effort required to make a good NLE and such a relatively small market that it’s just not conducive to a robust FOSS project.

Wow! I’m paying 10.5¢/kWh for electricity at home here in the US; it’s a little below the national average but not dramatically.

I can’t comment on Linux, but IIRC SMB was best for situations needing both Mac and Windows, so I’d guess that’s the choice. Totally off memory, though.

I’m still confused on what happened with OpenOffice. Is it not good now that it’s with Apache?

Wait, this app is free, has no ads, and does not give any info to the developer? It seems like it’s basically a hobby, created by a guy who wanted the app and decided to learn how to code so he could write it himself?

glad that our generation 1 product even has a chance against a $457.18 billion industry

we capture even 1% of that and we win

I mean, yeah, just about any product should be able to celebrate if they were able to hit $4.5 billion in sales. That’s still a big number. But here’s the thing: capturing 1% in that market still will be really hard. Getting 0.1% would be something to celebrate for a first-gen product from a startup. Getting 0.01% should probably be something to celebrate, and if that’s too small of a number to be celebrating then your company’s probably going to fail.

I would think something that sends text messages would be hard to implement as self hosted
