I've been riding light and fast bikes as commuters for many years. Single speed, thin tires, lightweight frame.

As fun as this is, I need to switch to something that can fit proper fenders and can mount a good rack. Bonus points if it's somewhat smaller. I got a couple of large bikes (I mostly do mtb) and it would be convenient to have something that is easier to maneuver in traffic.

Any recommendations for brands / bikes I should check out?

I've been considering buying something like this: https://bikepacking.com/bikes/le-petit-porteur-og-v6-review/

However, I'm relatively tall, so I'm not sure 20" is okay for me. I also doubt I need something that can carry that much and I reckon th

...bands were still making money out of recorded music.

Maybe they're waiting for the whole streaming industry to collapse before they release the new one?

I'm thinking of getting the Z1 or Z1 MK2: https://www.native-instruments.com/en/products/traktor/dj-controllers/traktor-z1/

Seems like Z1 works with Mixxx but the MK2 is pretty new, it was only released a couple of months ago.

Does anyone have any idea if it would work out of the box?

If not, perhaps I could use the mapping wizard? It doesn't have crazy features, so maybe it would be enough... But I don't really have experience with setting up mappings, so I'm not sure if I should risk it.

I think this is the first year where both RED and OPS have net loss of users.

For the last 12 months, OPS is at about -400 and RED -1200.

So RED is losing them about 2x faster since their userbase is twice as large. I'm sure some RED haters would point towards this and say it's because of their terrible economy and whatnot.

But OPS, with its generous BP system, ease of surviving, great staff... is also losing users. So I hope this thread doesn't get burried in the usual anti-RED stuff. Music trackers' popularity is on the decline, has been for years and if anything, OPS losing users is proof that it's not the economy that's the causing it.

Is it all about how convenient streaming musi

I enjoy all the other aspects of the show but the writing feels so far from Harley Quinn's, especially compared to seasons 1 & 2 - which were so witty and are worth re-watching several times. But even the weaker Harley Quinn episodes so far have been way more interesting than everything from Kite Man so far.

Everything is so forced. So much of what the characters do and say is simply there to move the season arc forward. There's no rhythm or real structure and the characters feel like outlines without anything underneath. I almost hope that the season was written in a rush around the writers' strike and that's why it feels so underdeveloped.

I've been thinking for a while now that they sh
