I'm currently engaged in three music-related projects, all aimed at developing tools. I've transitioned my programming approach to a more generalized library method, ensuring that everything I create serves as a versatile tool applicable to various projects. I'm gradually approaching the desired milestone where I'll begin crafting the unique features I envision. As for the notation app mentioned earlier, it currently accommodates only four notes per measure, but it has the potential to evolve into a more sophisticated notation editor.

yes. well i dont remember which films i saw but i used to be resentful because i equated a movie i saw to not being made for all audiences when being an all audience film? i have no idea why i blamed women for that.

total recall was a favorite of mine growing up its still funny to me.

@chrisws 
Since the last "official" release (one year ago), there were many improvements and/or bug-fixes...
Some of them are on the online version... some not...
Isn't it a time for a new version?

Thanks for your work!

Imagine finding out your Satoshi and you share the investment in computer users but don't know what you got to show for it bc you blacked out having ever been him just.. digging out on the PC games in a world. That's me. I am trying to not go into toxicity being too personal about where I am in life.

Quote from: Matty on March 27, 2024, 06:07:50The whole garbage about "strong women in cinema" seems to have really only started to become a thing in the media at the same time as movies went from being character driven to becoming political point scoring activities.

I think the original observation, in response to cinema from the 60s, 70s and 80s, was that women were too often weakly written. That is to say, they typically lacked an arc of their own and existed only to furnish the journeys of the male characters. The impetus amongst screenwriters who recognised this as a flaw, then, became to provide audiences with strongly written female characters, referred to colloquially within the industry as "strong female characters". This of course opened up a new wave of writers and commentators to misapprehend what was meant by "strong female characters", assuming that the idea was to write female characters who were literally strong across all dimensions... which naturally leads to narratively disappointing screenplays as, in order to be strongly written, to have a arc, a character must have flaws and weaknesses to work through (and, in particularly well written scripts, pivot from entirely).

This is why you love films from the 90s and early 00s, and increasingly avoid anything made from 2015 onwards. They have essentially circled back around to removing arcs from female characters again.
