Posting this here semi-exclusively (after putting it out on Soundcloud and shown to a few friends), "wide" release will be after video's done (that's been put on hold 4 months ago).

 

Not the best, said some things I wouldn't, broke grammar, but it's something.

My first "composition" from couple of years back, finally recorded.

Additionally audio and sheet music are available on Soundcloud and Musescore respectively.

 

Being a cover, I obviously don't own the copyright for the composition, but the recording itself is under CC-BY (though sometimes I wonder if a chord progression played as arpeggios using the same pattern can even be copyrighted).

 

Originally published on twitter between 2022-12-15 and 2023-07-25, it is an 11 part serial, each part fitting into a single tweet (280 characters at the time of writing). The main influence should be reasonably clear.

mi ken toki kepeken toki Mosijo en toki Inli en toki pona.

[–] zotn 2 points 1 year ago

ma Mosijo for Hungary is objectively terrible as far as transliterations go, though I quote like that it's one of the very few if not only that changed very early on (2005 iirc -- it was Masija, which was too similar to Asija).

The 'gy' /ɟ~ɟ͡ʝ/ in magyar* becoming an /s/ is just weird, though can be reasoned (/ɟ~ɟ͡ʝ/ > /dʲ/ > /di/ > /ti/ >** /si/ -- the semivowel then added back), it's still one syllable too long. 'a' is an /ɒ/ in Hungarian, that becoming an 'o' is arguably acceptable (although I'd argue against it, but given the circumstances, I won't complain).
Better solution? "Mata" for Hungarian could work I guess, all I know is that U'd greatly orefer having a plosive in it than a fricative.

*: the country's name is Magyarország, where magyar=Hungarian, ország=country **: by toki pona syllable rules

toki!

This community's been dead for over a year, so I made a new one that is at least somewhat active: [email protected]

Feel free to repost!

For a long time it was Heroes of Might and Magic 4 for me -- I know it's the "black sheep" of the series, but I really like that heroes are actual parts of your party (I also played a lot while growing up, so nostalgia plays a role and that's what I got used to)

I second OpenSuse Tumbleweed, only switched back to it after 7+ years and it's been great so far, no packages broke after update so far.

[–] zotn 2 points 1 year ago

I am very indifferent about twitter, only joined relatively recently because I felt like I was spamming random stuff on discord and such, so I just write there if it's not too personal.

Also follow some people and post BTS/WIP things related to the things I make (that basically no one cares about, but I want to share).

The toki pona community is rather acattered on multiple platforms, if there were one active one I'd be on that... (probably no one would comment this, but the ma pona Discord isn't a viable option for me currently).

Just managed to push it out before midnight, now it's 0:04.

Audio-only and instrumental versions are available on my soundcloud, all under CC-BY.

~~technically there's also an a capella version, but that's privated~~

Video is "low effort", but still took almost 7 hours to make (starting with writing out the lyrics on paper, scanning the papers, editing and cutting up the images, yada-yada-yada, rendering the video, and finally running through ffmpeg again because I changed my mind on one thing and using an ffmpeg filter was faster then re-rendering).

This is a well-known Hungarian children's song played in B locrian (instead of the usual C major) -- it sounds weird by design and because I actually played every part (no samples).

https://soundcloud.com/dschorsaanjo/bb-tarka

There's also a Worse version where I also sing:

Pixel art was drawn in Aseprite (32x32 resolution, exported at 10000% size, based on Dracula color scheme), music recorded and mastered in Ardour.

Includes 3 different kalimbas, a guitalele and 2 stylophones (regular S-1 and Gen X-1)

In pu the dictionary, place names (and a few other parts) are under CC-BY-NC, so they can be shared as they appear, but I don't know any place that has them. I used to read jan Pije's copy of it on http://tokipona.net/tp/janpije/placenames.php, but it too have been taken down sadly. The link is for an archived version.

Others can maybe give better sources, I am not sure what's up to date and accurate.

toki pona is brilliant and I wish there were more of us here. There was no active toki pona community (only ones that were inactive on other instances), so I made a new one: [email protected].

I love this so much

[–] zotn 2 points 1 year ago

adds telemetry, but still open source under GPL (v2 or oater for audacity, v3 for musescore since version 4).

Musescore is a good software regardless, it has become a bit more "centralized" with MuseHub, but still can be used independently and the whole "family" of software are open source, although they are more closely integrated. musescore.com doesn't need to be used, Musescore has functions to upload scores directly there, but that can be avoided and you can do anything locally.

I understand if someone doesn't like this kind of integration, but I honestly don't have much problems with it, the teams aims to make it easily usable for everyone, the telemetry is there mainly bug tracking (which is reasonable and can be turned off) and having it semi-tied to a monetized platform makes sense to ensure upkeep.

If they can make it work well, keep it FLOSS and with the resources able to provide support for users, I'd say it's a fair compromise, especially if they can make it a real competitor to proprietary alternatives.

I'm not affiliated in any way with either software btw, I just like them and know how to use them; there aren't many alternatives that sadly that could easily replaced them without a significant re-learning period.
