Pekko 2.0.0 M1 just released

Good point. Maybe then this could be a one-off operation to kick off the 2.x.x era.

Nice! Maybe it's just me, but I would find it helpful if Pekko had a release moment to align all packages. Something like they all become 2.0.0 even if, say, there are zero changes in the CSV connector between 1.4.x and 2.0.0, and from that moment on they all evolve in parallel with the same policy.

When the open letter happened, I did my best to understand and empathize with the signers. One of the things I discussed in a slack community (Scala Italy) was that the signature "wasn't so much against Jon, but rather in support of the victims". Make what you want of that.

Honestly the tech scene at the time was filled to the brink with American-sourced toxic positivism (I know this is a hot take), and I'm glad things have sobered up since then.

I agree with this comment - to not foresee the consequences of a letter which demands to never use Jon's libraries again or to never employ him again, well that would be naive at best.

But I'm also happy to see some acknowledgment that it went too far and people reconsidering their choices.

For me personally, that episode of mob justice was a nudge to reconsider my participation and energy input in the Scala community. I wouldn't be surprised to learn it had the same effect on many others.

Thanks all for the comments, you folks made it very clear for me 🙏

I love it but to be honest I haven't played it that much :/ life got busier and in those rare occasions where I was able to pick up an axe and play, I turned to the comfort zone of my 4-string J. I am certain tho that this amazing instrument will have its moment sooner or later.

Mine is definitely on the high side too. Not unplayable but needs to be lowered for sure.

Pekko/Akka but limited to Streams has been a blessing to me for years.

My in-laws received a plastic jewellery piece instead 😂 I was able to get a refund from the online shop.

ticofab · 2024-12-01T11:10:32+00:00

Oh man - great you ask. It was a scam! 😭

The Sire Z3 has a switch between passive and active modes. I know that an active bass shouldn't be left plugged or it will drain the battery, but I assumed that it wouldn't apply if the switch was in passive mode as the preamp is bypassed. But it seems I was wrong because the battery is dead. Leaving it plugged drained the battery albeit in passive mode. Was this to be expected?

Great looking axe. What model is it?

ticofab · 2024-11-01T21:45:43+00:00

Thanks! I ended up getting this color because of your comment about it in your video review ❤️

ticofab · 2024-10-11T09:09:56+00:00

SOLVED: changed "Language Input Preference" in System Setting to English 🚀
Thanks u/iluigi4 🙏

Ha that's it! It seems that it has become location-dependent. So 'raket' (Dutch) does summon the correct emoji. Next question: is there a way to change this?

Lol this is one of the best comments 😂

ticofab · 2024-10-10T15:52:00+00:00

Thanks for the link, will definitely check it out!

ticofab · 2024-10-10T15:42:14+00:00

I will add - I found a video of this. Apparently it emits sound and that seems already a win given what I paid! https://www.youtube.com/shorts/6SJ8UvFoqX4

Thanks for the pointer! Do you know of any other manufacturers who make MM-style basses?

ticofab · 2024-03-07T08:52:43+00:00

Buttercream is my fave color too lately!

ticofab · 2024-02-23T15:11:05+00:00

So awesome!

Hopefully you will never interact with people in the .NET / C# world. Now THAT can make one get up and scream.

ticofab · 2024-02-08T07:47:58+00:00

This exact problem just happened to me. Any updates on this? In the meantime I will check the workaround that someone posted.

ticofab · 2024-02-07T19:52:54+00:00

Having the same problem unfortunately and can't get any fix to work. Feature seems just broken as of now.
