I totally missed the new @mixxx 2.5.0 release in december, I'm so happy mappings can have their own settings now instead of fiddling inside code file, and I've added the new settings UI to my Pioneer DDJ SX2 Mapping ! As well as a new setting. Not perfect, but it works and I can always iterate on it!

Thank you the Mixxx team for your amazing work ! :)

WAHOO!!!
More friends join my plushie collection.

It's the LaserKaraoke parrot [global.pioneer] and his band ensemble!! From Japan!!!

Really hard to find info on the blue and purple parrots, but they are backup support it seems otherwise!

They appear to be fully licensed products down to a very small PIONEER stamp/insignia found within the attached loop tag near the feet.

Yahooooooo!!

Pioneer, Jun 1984. Introduces commercial-use Laser Karaoke systems centered on the LD-V11 LD player for karaoke. Simultaneously adopts a parrot character as the logo for Laser Karaoke.

The company #Pioneer DJ made
- a freely downloadable magazine ('deckades') to chronicle the evolution of DJing over the last 30 years, which is noteworthy because Pioneer used to dominate clubs and festivals because it used to be THE professional DJ standard https://blog.pioneerdj.com/pioneer-dj-history/30-years-of-the-cdj-get-your-digital-copy/
- and, separately, a blog about the 15-year history of their software Rekordbox, which is currently, after all these years, rather hated because of 1) the subscription model which was newly introduced in 6.0 and forced onto users without an acceptable way to downgrade, 2) its unnecessarily dropped features for older #PioneerDJ hardware models, and 3) its main new feature 'stems' in 7.0 which is a great novel idea, and hyped endlessly, but implemented so poorly that I know nobody who actually uses it as designed https://blog.pioneerdj.com/pioneer-dj-history/we-look-back-on-15-years-of-rekordbox/

Personal note: I should really do some research to find out how much emulation exists in free software for Rekordbox features (like export to USB of a mp3 library with presets)

Exxon Mobil's $60 billion bid for Pioneer Natural Resources would expand the top U.S. oil producer's footprint in the country's biggest oilfield, raising questions for shareholders over its transition to low-carbon energy. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/business/2023/10/07/exxon-mobil-energy-transition-questions/?utm_content=bufferb96f0&utm_medium=social&utm_source=mastodon&utm_campaign=bffmstdn #business #exxonmobil #pioneer #oil #emissions #climatechange #investments

#ThrowbackThursday to my room in 2002. I was 22 years old at the time. I used to plug my Pioneer stereo sound system into my computer.

I had made my own wooden desk myself to fit in my bedroom at the time. It was a heavy desk made with MDF wood.

Funny fact: In 2023, I still have the same Pioneer stereo sound system plugged into my main computer. It's the only electronic object that survived so long and still works to this day.
