"maybe you'll make the switch as well" funnily enough my first computer that I owned ran Linux, was an HP my uncle gave me running Ubuntu with LXQT, now all my PCs either run Linux or illumos(previously OpenSolaris)
I am running linux for over 2 years now. The day I realised I can get Elden Ring mods working with no issues, I realised that there is pretty much no excuse for gamers to not switch.
5:28 the GNU project was announced back in 1983 actually. Also at the "first Hackers Confrence" in 1984 He said his project is to make all software Free.
4:23 Oh boy, this infinitely expressive keyboard sure is infinitely hard to justify buying. 4:29 FR. When I was a teen, I had a desk I kept banging my knees against as a particularly bad stim, simply cause it had drawers... don't worry, my knees are fine now! But god it was terrible being cramped like that back then. 6:53 HAh open hardware! I'd love to have that! Just like how that dude GNU provides, well, you know it and I know it, cause that image is a nod in that direction and the irony...
The Lemon Master: That is not what Stallman said about free software! Free software can be payed or $0.00 moneywise. What he ment by free is you should be able to do anything you want with it once you own it. 6:30
the thing is, the tools are there. you cant free what doesn't want to be free. Its probably the same reason people opt to spend 4-10x as much money buying a house than building one.
The Hammond Novachord was invented in 1939 as well. It is considered the world's first commercial polyphonic synthesizer. It contained 163 vacuum tubes and 72 keys.
RMS was sounding the alarm on many of the nefarious corporate practices replete in today's technological ecosystem. Perhaps if he'd been listened to we wouldn't have some of the problems we face today.
I think you should credit people's content when you use it. I recognize that Ben Eater clip. I know its a short demonstrative clip, but it seems wrong not to at least have the channel linked in the description.
The image shown while talking about Linux license was of GPLv3. This is incorrect, he used a different license at first, then the GPLv2 and flatly refuses moving the linux kernel to GPLv3 due to its ridiculous licensing requirements.
The requirements aren't ridiculous at all, they simply demand that anything that uses it be free also, so that corporations don't just get to plunder the FOSS community for free software they can build non-free stuff with, or even modify Free Software to make non-free versions to sell commercially Linus doesn't want to do it because god forbid Google can no longer use Linux to make android tracking machines... Linus isn't about free software, Linus is about Open Source, he fundamentally does not understand the real-world concerns beyond the monitor that Stallman had and has, and that is the reason for the schism. An important correction to the video is that Linus didn't abandon Bitkeeper and create Git over some realization that Free Software is important, it was simply a problem with licensing where the company decided to no longer provide it to them for free and so they decided to make an alternative. But to this day Linus still really isn't committed to the whole Free Software idea, he never was. Neither are the maintainers of Linux, who for the most part are no longer random FOSS hackers, but employees of non-free companies like Google, nVidia, Intel and Microsoft
Great story! Was first introduced to synth work by listening to Keith Emerson’s ELP albums. While never playing, I’ve loved the sounds synthesizers can produce. My favorite example is Keith’s keyboard work on the live version of AquaTarkus on the Welcome Back album. Other works by Rick Wakeman, John Tout (Renaissance) and Larry Fast are also favorites. Thank You for giving me an education on the Ondioline, I had never heard of it but found your RU-vid post fascinating. Interesting to learn the basis of all the synthesizer instruments that are commonly used today. Of course Bob Moog’s work will always be special to me from Keith’s use. Thanks Again! 👍🏻❤️😎
I remember seeing someone play an ondioline on the Captain Kangaroo show in the late 50s - early 60s when I was a kid, Not sure who it was, he was on at least twice. I was totally fascinated and never forgot it, but it was only a few years ago when I saw it again on RU-vid. Wondering if Sun Ra ever played one, saw him play a clavoline, I know it's different but don't know how. Seems like something he might have played, though. I think someone who built replicas of an ondioline today could make a lot of money.
I don't think it's even viable for EVERY single piece of software to be free, even with specific licenses and whatnot. People need to make money, we would not have most videogames if they didn't make money to justify making them. Licenses would help, maybe, but what if you don't have the money to hire lawyers to defend it? I make a cool new idea, make the source available to the public but with a license that doesn't allow commercial usage, what's stopping a couple people from doing it regardless? My wallet certainly isn't.
Try the Expressive E Osmose - all the keys are wigglers - run it through a chase bliss pedal and that's all you need. and considering what it does, it's cheap.
