The small Coop supermarket in my street has been bought by one of the largest supermarket chains. These coops are the last resort for people like me, who are forced to live in precarity. I suspect the Coop couldn't pay the rent anymore, just like the bicycle repair shop next to it, which disappeared two years ago. It seems evident that the gentrification of the secondary cities is in progress, wiping out the infrastructures that the poorest people depend on.

Respect to the project managers of the world. That stuff is hard.

This is quite amazing.

Freenode

andrew lee just seized over 700 channels on freenode because they mentioned libera.chat in their topic.

This includes projects like openbsd, wikimedia, FOSDEM, etc.

archive.is/uHw1g shows 720 channels that match what is being checked.

here's an example log: gist.github.com/pushcx/ab2a1d5

boost this if you care about foss in any way.

cmake support in DPF is in!
github.com/DISTRHO/DPF/pull/26

Thanks to work by Jean Pierre Cimalando

More great stuff coming soon 🚀 🚀

Slowly getting DPF Cairo backend up to speed.
Same codebase, totally different targets, same behaviour.
Screenshot shows the Demo/test tool to render a few things, including subwidgets.
(opengl has the nanovg test, which is not possible on cairo for obvious reasons)

Only 2 things left for Cairo backend:
1. load png images from memory (instead of large raw data like opengl side does)
2. get the built-in DPF image widgets compatible with cairo.

Those 2 already done in a PR, but need adjustment

I was going to do something and then my cat sat on me and now I can’t.

@rghvdberg@sonomu.club this is outrageous, some places forbidding UwU 😢

One of the perks of modular open-source design.
We can just take stuff other people did, that is also open-source, and put it together with ours.
Jean Pierre Cimalando was doing some tests and we got DPF rendering "Dear ImGui" [1] stuff for audio plugin usage.
It does really work! Of course with some caveats, but looks quite promising.

Most are not following along, but progress on update DPF to use latest upstream pugl is going very well.
Can already build all the example plugins, tested with github.com/DISTRHO/glBars and it runs with 0 changes required in the code.
Keyboard input and a few other minor things not handled yet, but it is just a matter of hooking up the events now.

Rezound with a small update for Qt5 support looks quite decent.

Maybe a good alternative to Audacity?

Last month there was no "kxstudio monthly report", due to special circumstances not having a whole lot of stuff to mention/talk about.
But no news is bad news, kinda... So I published a mini-patreon update just now patreon.com/posts/51164697

Can you imagine Audacity using Qt and Carla's custom theme?

I guess it would look a little something like this...

🧙 🚀

works on a real windows too, trying quickly in a VM with a custom theme.

btw, I did not know before, but wxwidgets supports Qt... that leads to some interesting ideas 🤔
