Making the KXStudio homepage more mobile friendly, getting most of the contents to be friendly to vertical layouts.
Still need to figure out a way to do a "hamburguer" menu or something to access all the previous menu entries.
But the content should be way more responsive compared to before.
Please give it a try at https://kx.studio/
Do you spot anything wrong?

Another one of those monthly reports is here.
Mostly about automated builds this time.

Finally it was my turn to get a vaccine too.
Quite straight forward and painless.
I was given the janssen one, so no 2nd round next month needed.
Please get yours too, and eventually we can all get together again safely. 🤗

crypto is short for "cryptography"
if you want a shorter word for "cryptocurrency", the word you are looking for is "ponzi"
An argument against client-side decorations (CSD) as a picture.
Can you guess which applications use CSD and which ones use SSD?
The inconsistency on these commercial applications is a constant annoyance...
My poor little server, so much ffmpeg importing @unfa 's videos 😂 😂 😂
Anyone knows of a good collection of Reverb IR files that are CC-0/public-domain licensed?
What political and science debates on TV/news feel like.

One article to stay in the bookmarks for its usefulness in discussions surrounding privacy.

I saw people worried about #vaccines causing death. My wife is a doctor so I asked her.
It's complicated, but the general takeaway is: all medicine has risk involved. Just like driving a car or even walking near a roadway. Yet the risk vs reward ratio is usually such that we decide to use medicine. In people who don't have strong independent risk factors vaccines should not cause issues. There's always outliers, but generally vaccines save way, way more lives than they cost.

Another small but important release.
A new JACK2 release. 🚀
Don't forget to restart the JACK server after the update.

LWN has a little article on github copilot https://lwn.net/SubscriberLink/862769/9cbeaabb61b9d47c/
Also links to https://gist.github.com/0xabad1dea/be18e11beb2e12433d93475d72016902 which is pretty interesting
I like this quote from the github gist:
> The inevitable conclusion is that Copilot can and will write security vulnerabilities on a regular basis
😂
On the topic of telemetry and tracking, did you know nvidia drivers on Windows come bundled with a bunch of tracking software services?
Get some free tracking with your drivers! ☢️
An old article about this, not sure if still up to date, but still quite "interesting"

My new video is public on YouTube!
It's a 1.5 hour long in-depth tutorial about making sound files loop seamlessly (using Audacity and Ardour for comparison).
Enjoy!

The audacity desktop application now has a privacy notice, as expected.
Read it at https://www.audacityteam.org/about/desktop-privacy-notice/
I found this part particularly "interesting"...
