A report on lobbying by Big Tech in the EU.
https://corporateeurope.org/en/2021/08/lobby-network-big-techs-web-influence-eu
The most curious things happen sometimes..
On a walk around in Lisbon after meeting with friends, I come across a protest for animal rights. Obviously I had to join! :)
Now in talks with the organizers, I just wish they did not rely on facebook so much... :/

Delay Architect is a very inspiring, open-source delay plug-in that lets you visually create a sequence of delay taps with different volume, panning, filtering and pitchshifting applied. Awesome stuff!

Turns out the Delay Architect plug-in has a new awesome look, and an ability to store/restore patches!
I've been using an outdated version!
It finally happened.

@falktx both here. Tusky is rather useable though. But I kinda prefer the Desktop because of typing on mobile is a hassle 😊
Am I the only one using mastodon on the desktop? So many replies to my last message saying they use mobile/phone stuff..
I find the mastodon mobile application to be quite crappy, too much stuff going on all over the place.
Often when I receive a message I rather wait until I have time on the desktop/laptop, rather than replying from the phone. I must be some dying breed or something... 😅

If you're looking for a chance to get paid to write meaningful open source software, here's one of those rare opportunities. Fully remote.
We're hiring additional software engineers to join the SecureDrop team, an open source platform to protect journalists & whistleblowers. Our posting outlines the specific skillsets we're looking for:

If this describes you, please get in touch! Happy to answer questions.
Hi. I need some quick testing from people using Linux and High-DPI / >1 Desktop Scale Factor.
Just added support for this on DPF Linux side, so testing is very much appreciated.
To test:
```
git clone --recursive -b develop https://github.com/DISTRHO/DPF.git
make -C DPF
./DPF/bin/d_info
```
The test requires OpenGL and X11 develop packages installed and a working audio setup (if you are on archlinux you should always have this)
Let me know if it scales properly, see screenshot for an example
Oh and btw, while website is being tweaked and updated, time for a Carla bugfix release! v2.3.2 fixing a few regressions introduced in v2.3.1
https://kx.studio/News/?action=view&url=carla-232-has-been-released
Looking for ideas on a new page (again for the kx.studio site).
If you look at https://kx.studio/Development it should be pretty clear what it tries to do.
But well, it looks horrible 😅
Suggestions will be very welcome!
PS: the page might take a tiny bit to load
Need to ask for help/feedback/testing again.
Did some iframe trickery to get a page embed into another one with its full height, as then only 1 scrollbar is needed (from the main page).
If you have a few seconds, open up https://kx.studio/Board and tell me:
1. Do you see [kan]board style contents within the page content?
2. Is the content height correct? (that is, you can see the full thing)
3. Do you see only 1 scrollbar, or more?
4. Does anything look out of place?
Thanks!
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?
PS: If you visited the page before, you might need to force-reload to get rid of browser cache.
Another one of those monthly reports is here.
Mostly about automated builds this time.
