Canceled my #Splice subscription today after downloading 3000+ samples with built up credits. I don't use it enough to justify paying their 60% price increase. Too bad they don't have a smaller tier subscription and got greedy.

I used it for drum, percussion, and FX samples 99% of the time. Rarely melodic stuff, since if I liked something I'd just try to make my own version. Plus I didn't want to deal with copyright strikes etc.

I just taught myself to tie a True Bowline knot and a Sheepshank amongst others. What a wonderful little book.

"Looking at the subject simply as a practical one we must first direct attention to the material generally used for the making of knots."

#Meetup has been acquired by #BendingSpoons, whose business model is to buy solid apps from others, then “optimize” their monetization by pushing exorbitant weekly auto-renewing subscriptions (e.g., #Filmic, #Focos, #Remini, #Splice, #30DayFitness) and/or suddenly nerfing their free plans to get people to pony up for said subscriptions (#Evernote).

I expect Meetup to suffer similar #enshittification.

Hi, I'm Bob, a Principal Software Engineer (#softwareengineer) at #Splice focusing on resiliant and nimble #softwarearchitecture. I largely avoided following other tech folks on Twitter so I could ignore the daily drama, but Mastodon seems to be a healthier place for now.

I have many hobbies and interests, but currently spending most of my time on: #photography #music #rpg #books #writing #scifi #fantasy #speculativefiction #powerlifting #fantasyfootball
