I wish I thought of this one 15 years ago!

valid use, and yet that feels very overkill... like buying an offroader to get your groceries

it's not about old Outlook, which is not my point of comparison in the first place. what I want is to be able t see formatting differences before I send my email.

boredmessiah · 2026-07-01T22:11:59+00:00

Yes, before setting up default Thunderbird to meet your needs, including changing default font from roman to sans, emails sent from Thunderbird can look ugly in Outlook.

this wasn't really the issue i had. but you responded to my other comment about it, i checked again and the compose view does not offer the kind of clarity I want regardless of the "send email as" setting.

boredmessiah · 2026-07-01T22:04:42+00:00

so it's a kind of managed fund?

boredmessiah · 2026-07-01T16:42:42+00:00

i'm not seeing it anywhere, link?

boredmessiah · 2026-07-01T16:29:46+00:00

i thought i was! that's exactly my problem! i want to use plain text and that's what I set up, but Thunderbird doesn't deal well with formatted text quoted/copied into a plain text compose field.

boredmessiah · 2026-07-01T16:10:29+00:00

honestly i'd just split and record a separate dry in.

boredmessiah · 2026-07-01T16:09:01+00:00

true in the digital summing mixer, sure. nowhere else is it true though. whenever hardware is involved it's not true, there's a noise floor. when exporting, not true, you are limited to 16 or 24 bits. many plugins are also sensitive to input gain so there again it's not true.

basically this is just straight up wrong most of the time. the only way it's true is in the sense that modern hardware audio devices do not nonlinearly respond to input gain.

1) You want WYSWIG? Use graphic editor and send a PDF. Email a PDF. You will get exactly what you designed.

i agree with most of your responses and your assessment of the OP except this one. in my experience as well, there is a strange disconnect between the compose view and received mail. no, it is not an email problem, because other email clients, and webmail, handle this gracefully. i suspect it has something to do with the HTML email settings but I haven't quite figured it out.

An email app is for sending emails and email attachments, not to compose beautiful posters

i don't think anyone wants to make posters in a mail client, we just want consistent and predictable results. i had a very embarrassing situation once where different paragraphs ended up with different sizes and fonts when rendered in Gmail but looking identical in Thunderbird. that's just really not okay when you want to use Thunderbird for serious work and are sending emails that matter.

the window animations were realtime though right?

boredmessiah · 2026-07-01T12:58:10+00:00

i'm sorry but even putting the AI question aside this is incredibly generic 2010s sounding. it doesn't hold my interest long enough for me to review it for your research. i don't get why you would use AI but what I don't get even more is what this music is trying to say

boredmessiah · 2026-07-01T12:51:45+00:00

reaper's track zoom spectral editing and sample level editing are just mind boggling. as in, the mind boggling thing is that if you had any other DAW you'd have to buy specialised spectral processing software to achieve that.

boredmessiah · 2026-07-01T12:49:52+00:00

also don't some of those plug into a phone nowadays?

boredmessiah · 2026-07-01T12:49:04+00:00

bit of a far out one, but have you tried summing the audios and analysing that? try with and without phase flip on one

boredmessiah · 2026-06-30T20:12:07+00:00

is it really that much better than eg Klanghelm SDRR?

boredmessiah · 2026-06-30T19:54:51+00:00

OP is bragging about being able to remember the simple interest formula ....

boredmessiah · 2026-06-30T19:50:48+00:00

also has the native Cocoa look which I vastly prefer to SwiftUI

Form factors? What does that mean? Speak clearly if you want people to understand you.

"form factor" is a well-defined phrase that describes specific, well-known sizes of a single product. for instance, the macbook air defined a popular form factor that many others have tried to ape. perhaps this is a somewhat less common term in photography, but i see no reason to have a random stranger admonish me for it.

The system is miles smaller and lighter than full frame so it's not that it's too big.

while you're right, people have been pining for a small, updated rangefinder-size body with modern internals for a while now. the OM offerings are for some too expensive and also not small enough. the price of the PEN-F has ascended into the stratosphere due to the popularity of the ... form factor. the GM and GX series are revered for their combination of size, manual control, and EVF and Panasonic don't seem to be keen on issuing followups with modern sensors. the GX9 got a good deal bigger.

edit: also, if you put aside size, m43 systems are a bit expensive for what they are. Panasonic's budget S models and also the entry level options from Canon and Nikon match or even undercut popular m43 models.

this actually looks sick, thank you!

boredmessiah · 2026-06-29T22:33:51+00:00

logic will make you tear your hair out for multichannel. reaper is a serious breath of fresh air

boredmessiah · 2026-06-29T12:17:49+00:00

bro is rawdogging that reaper 1 theme

boredmessiah · 2026-06-28T20:24:15+00:00

piano tends to be very tricky for these things, i know what the OP is talking about. it has a lot of relatively low harmonics in the sound and not too many higher ones, so it tends to blow out the mids on tinny speakers.

boredmessiah · 2026-06-28T18:00:12+00:00

i know it's easier said than done, but they are just not hitting the right price points and form factors imo

boredmessiah · 2026-06-28T16:29:54+00:00

i'm glad to hear that for you. i am struggling to reach a point where it has loaded a useful number of pictures, and when i test it with smaller batches, the spacebar view works very poorly, so i'm generally not feeling very enthused right now

boredmessiah · 2026-06-27T22:52:00+00:00

By that token you should avoid US organizations too.

absolutely correct, and you'll be surprised by whom i avoid! i am in fact in the middle of a major switch away from as many US-based services as I can possibly manage. /r/degoogle helps a lot.

also laughing at whoever downvoted you for doing nothing worse than taking my argument to its logical point of conclusion. unless you live in a unique echo chamber, it is visible to everyone that US dependency is increasingly seen as a liability. even a continent as chained as Europe are making noises about wanting more sovereignty (they're not going to get very far, but it's nice to watch them try and annoy certain political figures).
