May 2022 Monthly report on all KXStudio related things. 🌄

It has been a while...

@omgubuntu I feel attacked, why does it have to remind me how long programs take to start? Can no longer pretend this 10 year old PC is fast. 😔

@rghvdberg@sonomu.club I have no idea what you just wrote, but favorite and boost for vegan.
The earth appreciates 🌍 😊

Who wants a new scope?

For those in the know, it is a sassy one yes 😅

Apple likes jack2 so much it keeps breaking things so new jack2 releases need to be made 😡

Things broke in 12.1

Now in 12.3 in a different way

"breaking" more like changing how it works, leading to breakage in software that was assuming a certain behaviour.
still very shitty to do...

On Linux land it is always "we dont break userspace".
Apple seems more like "screw you, we do what we want, now give us money" 🤷

@unfa to be real honest here, these rants feel more like conspiracy click-baity cringe content, fueled by anger of the moment and filled with misinformation.
it is typically how these videos ends up being like.

maybe this one in specific is better, but overall tone just seems overly dramatic for views, full of opinions and not a whole lot of facts inside.

it is hard to take this stuff seriously

@unfa Is there a written story of the same?

@rghvdberg@sonomu.club those are chewing gum I believe, after being thrown away and stepped on many times

@rghvdberg@sonomu.club you connect things and sounds come out! It's like magic.

Watch out though, it is quite addicting.

Cardinal 22.05 is here!
https://kx.studio/News/?action=view&url=cardinal-2205-has-been-released

Finally with Fundamental modules, plus a bunch of other goodies.
Best release so far! 🚀 🚀 🚀

It takes care of all the major items I wanted to see in Cardinal, and seems to run quite well and stable.
Wanted to get this out of the way before moving to other things.

With that said, have fun!

@unperson part of internet discussion is that it is about everything and nothing at the same time 😅

@celesteh@queer.party I expect people to do more than just use the tools provided to them for free though.
We are not at a point where software licensing and privacy are in good standing, so just letting status quo be is akin to letting things move more and more into a wrong direction.

Active participation is not required IMO, simply refusing to use pirated software already helps.
Otherwise it is just unfair that commercial tools get both paying and non-paying customers. Gets impossible to compete.

@celesteh@queer.party we can always contribute stuff back in indirect ways, that is mostly what I mean.
I do not expect people to contribute to every single opensource project they use, but instead, stuff like making their own things also free/open, or contributing to a few select projects or could be by just refusing to use pirated software.

@celesteh@queer.party That is the A group though. If something is free, you pay in other ways by donating, submitting reports and spreading positivity around a project.
Also, foss does not mean free of cost, many people happily pay for an Ardour subscription.

People that use opensource tools without ever contributing anything back can be thought to be in the C group.

@unperson @mxtthxw I don't get it either tbh. I think it is more that it is mainstream, thus sound is more recognizable due to its overuse.

Why someone would refuse to use a tool because a bunch of people pirate it, I do not know, or understand..

@celesteh@queer.party D group?

@AriaSalvatrice Perks of opensource things, we can change them to fit our tastes and needs!

I have tweaked my mastodon instance style so it works better for large/regular pc screens. Actually has been so long I forgot how the original looks like.
