This is a poor headline.
If you don't know that an "effects pedal" is a piece of musical equipment, the headline makes it sound like open source, programmable effects are riding bicycles for guitarists, musicians and hackers.
I guess it's conceivable that people would come up with a fundraising idea involving riding bikes to fund musicians, but referring to the bike riders as "open source, programmable effects" sounds downright bizarre.
- dsego 13y agoUnfortunately, the headline is limited to 80 characters (not people, but graphemes like letters and digits, in case you're not familiar with computer terminology).
- mwfunk 13y agoI'm sorry, "digits"? You mean like fingers? Why would you put fingers in a headline? What does that even mean?!?
- siddboots 13y agoI venture that the product is aimed toward people who know what "effects pedal" means.
