A weakness of the SFZ sampler format is that for normal humans, it is difficult to write the code required to do more than basic key mapping. Most SFZ files don’t include midi CC & modulation capabilities, because these are defined in the code

Solution: Use a synth or sampler plugin that doesn’t rely on SFZ for these things:

* TX16Wx
* TAL-Sampler
* Altitude
* Bliss
* Serum 2
* Falcon
* ….etc

I'm looking for a CRM system for a friend. Optimally from the EU, at worst with a datacenter in the EU.

Not wanting self hosting, we are looking for a SaaS provider.

The line of business is financial consulting, but I suppose that doesn't play a big role.

Do you have any tips on what to look for? Thanks

"Meanwhile, corporate media asks, “Can he do that?” These stories are engineered to distract the public with technicalities. While everyone’s debating what they can and can’t do, they are doing it.

We know this administration’s pattern of loose interpretation when it comes to law and historical precedent. There’s no reason to believe he’ll stop here, instead using this act to use force against anyone his administration considers a threat, regardless of their status or what they’re protesting.

You also have to remember this country has a long, established history of censoring speech and leading witch hunts. During WWI, god help you if you didn’t buy enough liberty bonds or called yourself a pacifist.

We’re the land of moral panics.

Every single one of this administration’s actions have been building toward this moment, when the president suspends our civil and human rights. It explains why they’ve taken such aggressive action toward federal agencies, firing tens of thousands of workers and purging their ranks of anyone who might say no. They’ve already been testing boundaries, daring courts to stop them as they shut down government operations and kidnap U.S. citizens."

To automatically remove deleted remote git branches at git pull, here is the configuration you need:

```
git config remote.origin.prune true
```

This is not the default but it's very useful. I've been using it for years at work without knowing it wasn't the default behavior, until I started to use git at home outside of my own repositories.

Hello dear #fediverse,

I'm looking for concerts (preferably #Rembetiko, but not a must) in #Athens between 14.03 and 28.03. Do you have any #tips for me? Pls boost! 😊 Thanks a million!

Γεια σας

Ψάχνω για συναυλίες (κατά προτίμηση #Ρεμπέτικο, αλλά δεν είναι απαραίτητο) στην #Αθήνα μεταξύ 14.03 και 28.03. Έχετε καμιά #συμβουλή για μένα? Ευχαριστώ πολύ!

Here's a KDE Plasma 6 power feature you probably had no idea existed.

Hit Meta+T on your keyboard.

You can define tiles on each of your screens.

Now grab a window and hold shift - it will snap to the closest tile!

This way you can arrange windows on your screen(s) in a way that will keep them sharing your screen's area without ever overlapping.

Doing this manually always took so much time and was so fiddly...

You're welcome!

There's nothing you can do about this, I am just pointing it out. Instead of a tip maybe just don't blame them for the fact that Facebook never removes anything bad, or any obvious scammers. I am sure they want to remove them, but those managers I mentioned won't give them any agency at all to do the right things.

Have you tipped your content moderators lately?

No? ... No.

That's because there is no way to tip these people, who are seeing the worst of the worst so that you don't have to, working long hours with very few breaks for below-living wages. While doing this, they have to deal with a management structure that is so disconnected from what they do that you'd never believe it if you saw it on a TV show.

Datatype Architecture Tips

Data in relation to a program should (for reasons of best practice, unstated) be stored in such a way that:

• there is no loss of usable information
• there is no duplication of information (single source of truth)
• the complete and unaltered state of the original information should be obtainable
• during program operation, is the least number of transformations away from useful data
• is efficient for programmatic access, operational transformation, and lastly, storage space

Hey, I found this really cool trick to find out if someone is into you!

Ask them.

*Literal conversation from yesterday*

Alice: Hi, it's Alice from the deescalation training.

Instructor: ❤️❤️❤️❤️ so wonderful to meet you

Alice: Likewise 🩷

...

Alice: Quick question so my brain doesn't keep poking me about it: are ❤️ flirty or friendly to you?

(I'm happy either way 😉)

Instructor: Hope your brain wasn't too pokey all night! They could go either way, I'm looking forward to that drink to find out ;)

Alice: Perfect. Ttyl 🩷

Poof! It's like magic 🪄🐇

Though I may have taken the wrong message away from the deescalation training 😅

Update: two dates later and I'm pretty sure the ❤️s were flirty... Also I think I've got a new boyfriend 😋
