    I'd imagine they're like anybody else, except everybody is hung over on their birthday? My birthday you could probably infer from one of my web sites.

Question: Can I use your 'PathSync' software for syncing ebooks, music and videos between my Windows laptop and Android phone? I always needed a software which can sync my messy flies and folders between my two devices and it was such hectic for me to manually do it. Sometimes, I download stuffs from my phone, sometimes from my laptop. Since PathSync is in BETA version, I wonder maybe sometime it can corrupt my syncing and may not copy properly? Are you planning to release stable version soon?

Reply on April 16 2019, 3:13pm:
    Maybe, it's beta because of the UTF-8 additions, but it's probably reasonably stable.

Question: Assuming you use one at all, what's your preferred music player when on Linux? I've struggled to find anything similar to our old friend Winamp - Amarok gets close but it's outdated and buggy.

Question: Are you familiar with VEGAS PRO? Sony abandoned its development way back in the day, and it's been under new management (Magix) since 2016. The code is 20 years old now, and though the software has huge potential (thanks to its still unmatched intuitive (and powerful) interface, it frankly needs to be re-written from the ground up, incorporating various new technologies. If the proper offer were presented to you, would you be interested to join such an endeavor?

Question: Don't know how to force LICE's blit functions to work with source alpha, while Windows's Alphablend works and decided not to use libpng for now, it's very big, tough and cluttered, ended up using lodepng for now, what do you think about lodepng?
Asked by Pony (78.152.169.x) on April 10 2019, 8:54am
Reply on April 10 2019, 1:30pm:
    LICE_BLIT_USE_ALPHA, probably. Though if I remember correctly, LICE's source alpha is not premultiplied, vs Windows API is. Lodepng looks cool but I haven't used it. Most things we make end up using zlib anyway so might as well share that code?

Question: Hi Justin. Your thoughts (yes / no / conditional) on free and universal sharing of academic knowledge/ science/ research and non fiction / academic books (ref. forum.cockos.com/showthread.php?p=...
Asked by Suleiman (14.201.3.x) on April 9 2019, 12:11pm
Reply on April 9 2019, 4:38pm:
    Well obviously ideas/knowledge/concepts should be completely free. As far as copyrighted content, I think that most people who create copyrighted content generally are pretty reasonable about the policies of its distribution. Aggregators of content are less reasonable, typically, which isn't ideal.

Question: The font size of " do not ask questions about REAPER..." above is small. That's why, maybe, people can't read it properly and ask you about features, bugs or scheduling :P okay, a proper question - Do you go to gym or prefer workout only at home?
