It looks like a good product but one which isn't open and or free.

Sometimes you may just need a decent metronome...On occasion I do...

I like the freeware PC9 from Chordpulse Peeps...




Once you install you can then take the directory & run portable from anywhere...

Thats freeware not open source / free(libre) software. But after using it, to check out the functions at least its not photoshop

This thread is not just about free software as in "libre software" but freeware in general. There's nothing wrong with posting things that aren't libre.

I had already stated in reply that it was 'free' but not 'open'. Open meaning open-source software which would roughly translate to the 'libre software' definition...

Looking back through I see a billion posts of 'FREE' but not 'LIBRE' soft. So the pointless post by Allenwrench was what...He just landed on this thread & had not seen other postings?

Seems like there should be a pin about this to prevent such drivel. As this leads to a member being indirectly subject to the 'Do not harass, insult or provoke other users' rule as I was a receptor of all 3 & this could be used as such a tactic of a member that 'dislikes' another but wants to not go too far in the harassment department as to be banned...

Chasys Draw is brilliant and not one I've come across before, so thanks for pointing that one out. Well worth having piece of software.

Hello everyone,

I wanted to take a moment to apologize for something I said in my recent forum post. Upon further reflection, I realize that my words came across as insensitive and disrespectful, and I deeply regret any hurt or offense I may have caused.

I understand that my behavior was not acceptable, and I take full responsibility for it. Moving forward, I will make a conscious effort to be more thoughtful and considerate in my communication with others. Please know that I value this community and everyone in it, and I am committed to learning and growing from my mistakes.

Once again, I apologize for my words, and I hope that you can forgive me.

Thank you for taking the time to read this message.

Sincerely,

allenwrench"

I just released my modded build of GNU Unifont called UnifontEX. (It's GPL2+OFLv1.1)

UnifontEX

2024 Update:

In December 2023 on a backup computer (long story, my data is safe), I released an improvement to UnifontEX that fixes bugs and adds features. (A Sample Text field, the DFONT version now has vectors too, the WOFF1 version is now smaller thanks to DEFLATE improvements, and the JSTF table was added, which in the process fixes Winamp and JPEXS SWF Decompiler not allowing the font to be selected due to missing some tables, and on that note, some of the tables in original Unifont came back when I added the JSTF table. It's the only safe addition. Believe me, I've tried.) Basically, this update is an improvement to the compatibility goal of the project, in the process being a feature upgrade. Also the Sample Text is "One font to rule them all!" (A LOTR reference and a reference to the high compatibility, down to character count.) Hopefully you enjoy this update. It took a month to release because computer troubles.
I use they/them pronouns and do tech.

Some nice free software I would like to recommend is VSC, a good code editing software, and Blender, for 3D modeling. Enjoy!  ;D
