Well, I’m entertained AND I learned some interesting tidbits about the windows task manager! How am I just discovering this guy?! [YouTube Task Manager is LYING About Your CPU Usage (Here's the Truth)](https://youtu.be/HiHMQN3kQlQ?si=-MqmeYWHdH21Czt3)

I don’t understand all of the hate for Starfield. I’m really enjoying it!

Looks fun to me! Yet more reasons to explore. Clearly not for everybody, but works for me.

Oy! Sean! Stop it!

Is this No Pokémon’s Sky?

..and as always the plugin is completely FREE! :)

#### Optimizations
- More behind-the-scenes optimizations to keep things running smoothly

#### User Guide
- A link to the User Guide can now be found at the bottom of the Settings window

- The Playlists themselves may now be MIDI mapped
- To MIDI map playlists or tracks, drag the playlist or track to the right to expose the MIDI button. Tap it to enter MIDI learn mode.
- In MIDI learn mode, you will be warned if your change would overwrite an existing mapping
- MIDI mappings for track slots and playlists are saved globally, not in the individual playlists themselves.

### New User Guide

### Playlist Improvements
- A "track" now consists of an audio file + a start/stop time, so the same audio file may be used more than once, with a different start/stop time.

### April 20

**Nick McLaren**@nick  
ArchersPlayer v1.3.0 is available now on the iOS app store, containing an important bugfix as well as a new "warp" control: Dragging the control up/down alters the currently playing track's pitch, while dragging left/right alters its playback speed.

Picked up "Enshittification" by [@pluralistic](/content/@pluralistic@mamot.fr) and can't wait to dig into it. I am most certainly in the choir that he's preaching to.

### Final Thoughts

- Goodbye, Gmail... and thanks for all the fish.

- We're small, but mighty! I've been working on this PETSCII BBS for the Commodore 64 while waiting for my C64Us to come in.
