@unfa define what multiplayer is on this context, cause I dont know..
@unfa forgot to say, press "run" on the top-left module after loading
@unfa you can pass it a patch file in the url if you want to show case some cool stuff to people.
so for example https://cardinal.kx.studio/?patchurl=https://patchstorage.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/JTB-wasm_house_toshare.vcv loads a nice "little" techno patch
(warning: needs quite the beefy cpu)
@tenacity exciting UI changes but no screenshots?

Just wrote up a little summary on my current (work-related) situation, which I can finally talk about after MOD has made its situation public.

Tough times and terrible timing too.

Sonoj Convention 2022 has been cancelled, but there's a bright lookout into the future!
Sonoj Convention was created as an annual event to bring together the open-source music-making community and facilitate meeting in person, getting to know each other.
Sonoj now has it's community chat: https://chat.sonoj.org (based on Matrix).
Hopefully we can bring this event back in 2023!
Here's an interview I did with Nils, the event creator in 2019:

@unfa the fight for those micro-controllers is already lost, but at least on a higher-level we can still control the OS to a point. taking that away just to be able to run a few games is not great.
the wider linux adoption often involves things that opensource does not benefit from. on the contrary, companies want to use the opensource tools as base to build their commercial proprietary offerings. with the gains very rarely trickling down
I just dont expect good things from a mass-market linux
@unfa Doing things because it helps Linux adoption is the problem.
That is how we get DRM in browsers, kernel-level locks, almost-spyware-like monitor tools and other crap.
IMO it is quite fine if Linux does not have these.
@unfa @snailerotica it did not read/appear as satire to me..
on the topic of old native games, I find it hard to feel pity for proprietary software that no longer runs.
if one is interested on the longevity and preservation of some software tool, the first step is to make it open.
@unfa they removed something that has been deprecated for 16 years. I think after a decade it is safe to do so..
and you know they dont intentionally go look for things to break, right?
it is more likely that the old hash was a maintenance burden that no one wanted to maintain anymore, alike X11 and similar very old things.
or could be simply that new version had a little cleanup in a few places, removing code no longer used or touched in decades.
tbqh I hate this approach of telling stories
@utopify_org I pay for the server and run peertube on that. It is from hetzner, currently around 42eur/month.
Could be seen as expensive sure, but server has been working without any issues and I host there a bunch of stuff that would otherwise be on google cloud or whatever. I rather pay a premium and not use those.

Can someone recommend a #peertube instance?
I want to publish videos about #sustainability #climate #environment #veganism #greenenergy #solarpunk but can't find an instance which goes into this direction.
Thanks a lot for your help 😊
@utopify_org I dont have real recommendations, but can offer my instance if you want to upload such things there. working more as a fallback-in-case-others-go-offline more than the entry point.
see https://peertube.kx.studio/ for what it has at the moment, it is all audio related at the moment.

LWN's Fosstodon account was created because we had requests for a feed here. Now somebody has reported us as a spam account and we are getting warnings from the moderators. Evidently we aren't interacting enough. So it may be that this stream is about to go away, our apologies.
VST3 plugin support is reaching stable status.
Finally got most things implemented, in a way that is similar to what is present for VST2.
The entire DPF-Plugins collection (besides 1 plugin) is now loadable in hosts like Ableton Live. The only exception I see are plugins that have optional buses (like sidechain) or types that Live cannot cope with (like pure generators without audio or MIDI input)
Should be time to make a new release then...

Everybody knows Audacity, but are there more audio editors on Linux? After so many years the answer is still... "Kinda!" :)
Here is my review of 8 audio editors for Linux that are not Audacity or one of its pride forks.
This is also where I have to say that the Qt6 port of ReZound largely works.

Light mode saga continues...
Now instead of color inversion and trickery for making panels dark, we do the contrary and make some dark panels white. :D
@wrl this looks good now?
Will need to have a few authors about this, as sadly not all artwork is liberally licensed, some needs explicit permission for usage and distribution.. Hopefully they can be convinced.
Yay for color/theme consistency!
Just did a "mini" build version of Cardinal on the web, see https://minicardinal.kx.studio/
Only contains core and fundamental modules, extras like carla/ildaeil are also not in there.
The intention is to have something that is quick to load, so I can more easily show it to people, and also place it in a "software portfolio" I am working on.
The mini version assets have a combined 15Mb size. It is small enough that Firefox is happy to cache the page, so that's nice :)
Feel free to use and share!
