For what it’s worth, my KDE file browser would freeze up when I had a WebDav network drive to a server that went offline, not exactly elegant either, just opening my home folder and randomly after a second or two …… all software can bug in bad ways.
I found bitwig to be really easy to use coming from Ableton. I am also keeping an eye out and supporting the ZRythm development and I hope it can become a decent FOSS alternative.
Great thread! My moment comes from Deus Ex. There was a mission near versalife in Hong Kong, and I took the wrong door at some point and veered off path. I did not have to do it, but I got lost and I did, i cleaned all security from the entire building. After I got out, i read on one of those news screens… it had an article about a terrorist attack massacre on the versalife offices 97 dead… I realized they wrote about me - clever bit of cause-effect-scripting there!
I have been on the same quest. I have used Ableton on mac/windows and I’m eyeing Bitwig. I tried Ardour for a little bit, but never gelled with it. Ardour would probably be fine if I did some effort on learning the interface, but I didnt find it that intuitive.
Meetup / events, the cultural calendar of physical events should be free from platforms! Facebook used to be good for this in its heyday, because of its wide adoption, but now they are chasing «engagement» and ad revenue, and is no longer a good tool for public, so the timelime is full of crap etc.
If it is this easy to reproduce, maybe we should file a bug report - it is really annoying/buggy behaviour. I am not opening the network folder, so maybe it’s trying to greedely cache media files for preview thumbnails or something, I don’t know…
