@openmastering I dont have many hopes for any sort of positive response, or to be honest any response at all...
Will only wait until Monday, then we have to see what is the best way forward.
Somehow missed that Drew wrote about discord on his blog.

If you missed it too, consider giving it a quick read.
@openmastering Hey, just so you know, I contacted Andrew (who owns the VCV Fundamental panel designs) about possibly reusing the artwork but with runtime changes for an attempt at being compatible with CC-ND. It is complicated..
But just for you to be aware, it is a very very tiny possibility, but there is one where he says yes and we can use the artwork like that..
If you do a custom design, keep me posted :)
And thanks in advance!

"I didn't join the resistance because none of my friends were in it"
@openmastering Anything that is dark/grey on the background is quite okay. And yes fundamental would be a great start, just be aware you cannot reuse the existing panels as they are CC-ND.
Interesting that we can keep existing background by setting OpenGL clear color as full transparency.
Result is quite cool, even if for a toy, but somehow looks good and professional (to me at least anyway).
@openmastering The "Core" stuff is all being replaced, by internal Cardinal modules that look like in the screenshot.
Fundamental and a few others from VCV are tricky ones, because artwork is CC-ND (derivatives not allowed) but they contain the VCV logo which is not allowed in derivatives.. 😡
You are interested on making new panels for them? or know someone who can?
Sometimes I hate technology.
Look at this shit https://www.qt.io/blog/monetizing-cross-platform-use-cases-faster-and-easier-with-qt-digital-advertising-platform
I am ashamed to use Qt in some of my applications.
Sorry for that.
In order to avoid any potential issues I removed the "even a little slightly problematic" modules from Cardinal temporarily, so any new patches done with it now are safe to use from now on (so no modules-were-removed surprises possible)
Meanwhile the core modules, due to VCV branding and CC-ND restriction, are being slowly replaced by Cardinal counterparts.
Still WIP and yeah they look boring, but should be good enough for a first release. Getting things moving is the first step.
VST3 handling in hosts continues to amaze me.
Seems FLStudio doesn't support VST3 plugins without custom GUI. The GUI ends up fully empty [pic1]
That arrow down is not to show/hide the GUI, but to access some options. some trickery then allows to change parameters on the sidebar panel. [pic2]
[pic3] shows how it is supposed to look like, using VST2 format.
Have we reach the point where nobody cares about plugins without GUIs, so much they wont even implement support for it? wow
On the topic of crypto and NFTs, "Folding Ideas" has a great and extensive video essay about it.

@unfa is that a hot take or a common opinion?
Temperature wise seems quite mild to me 🍵
On the topic, pretending to be a flat-earther is top internet shit-posting. People get all upset about it while one is obviously joking, minor the casual idiots that somehow actually believe it. Well at least one side is having fun.
Reminds me of those that say that Bielefeld is not an actual place that exists. Have you been there? Know anyone from there? Gotcha!
@codeberg@mastodon.technology @nund is there any difference between trusting 1 person vs trusting a company vs trusting a team?
Federation is how I would go about such things, not managing the project in one service vs another.
@codeberg@mastodon.technology @nund but that is just my point.
even with all this place, it is just words from you.
all doesnt matter when we cannot verify the server side.
@nund if I ever move away from github, it will be for a self-hosted instance, not to yet another CVS hub instance.
even if the base code that codeberg (or gitlab, or source hut, or any other like that) is opensource, there is no guarantee that the code you have access to matches the code that runs on the server.
we should not trust server code that we do not control ourselves.
once oauth or any other kind of standard for accounts is more popular, I will stop github and use only git.kx.studio
Caring about proper licensing is a pain sometimes.
But such is life if you want to get your stuff packaged in the most common Linux distros.
This is the situation on Cardinal so far:
https://github.com/DISTRHO/Cardinal/blob/main/doc/LICENSES.md#artwork--panel-licenses
The non-commercial clause of many artwork files is a problem for a few distros.
With that said, in due time I believe Cardinal should be at least in ArchLinux and Ubuntu multiverse repos.
Only 25 days till first release!
Some good news for a change.

@gcrkrause @mray @unfa yes, damn unfa what are you doing!? thanks to you facebook (I mean meta) will live on for 10 more years, at the minimum! Shame shame
