LOL! They got @Paladin79 's nose right, but the legs look a little too skinny.

Time to activate the destruct and burn function of your Incubus amp. Provided you have cell coverage that is.

What about the remote function that intermittently makes any tube sound like it was made by GE?

Doubtful...

I doubt it...

How the heck does he know when the government men are coming to destroy his still? Barking dogs?

Coon hounds, I reckon.

Blueticks perhaps, they seem to like the color blue in that part of the country. Duke and one of the Carolinas.

Figured more like this.

... anything that would allow me to be cross-platform, like .net, ...

I've never used anything but my own code to be cross-platform. Like you, I believe those "cross-platform, like .net" frameworks are an abomination and balloon out the effort.

And in terms of UI, not a single line of code can and should be shared among platforms. (With the exception of macOS and iOS, there's some overlap if done right. But less than one would think.)

Well, I think the artwork can be shared . Some/most of the human factors architecture (not code) can be as well. That human factors stuff is time consuming and costly.

But what do I know, I've only been doing this for 20 years…

Yeah, my relative lack of experience at 40 years working on almost every variety of Unix there is, VM/SP, VAX/VMS, macOS both pre- and post- NeXT acquisition, all manner of X Window System frameworks, clearly pales next to your experience. I have managed to avoid DOS, for the most part, thank the stars.

Remember my last job was Mac/Win file system so I know about cross-platform file APIs. Another job I had was Mac/Win network code, so I know about that, too. And there's nothing more different than the network stacks on VM/SP and VAX/VMS.

Not saying it's easy. If you're know you're doing it from Day One it's very manageable. If, on Day One, you think "We'll target Windows (or anything else) First" then you've lost.

There's a person on another forum who would want your software as that person is not enamored of the instant kill switch in roon 2.0. Help that person out and get writing!

I often wish this forum had reactions other than like. In this case, terror would be my choice.

the instant kill switch in roon 2.0

The what now!?

 

[artur9]

The what now!?

AIUI, pre-2.0 if your internet connection was not 100% always-on one could use roon reliably because it only checked the license once or month or something.

With the ARC feature (even if you don't use it), roon stops working as soon as it detects no internet.

I wouldn't keep my still in my un-mobile mobile home. It's in my mobile mobile home. For fast getaways, obviously.

You have to admire the obvious effort someone has put into keeping it rolling,

Or put in modern language, “Extending service life.”

Boy, it's so good to be back in the concert hall with a full orchestra and a full audience.

Jones Hall doesn't image like my Gungnir multi-bit, though, so I'll have to listen again now to hear what Shostakovich 5 really sounds like.
