Amazon workers in Coventry vote to go on strike in the new year. They were classed as key workers during the pandemic… but are treated like robots for low pay. Amazon has plenty money to go around.
> This time the turnout was 63%, with 98% of those backing strike action, marking the first time Amazon workers in the UK have voted to do so.

Just noticed Luciano Iam updated to latest DPF and enabled CLAP builds. 👏 👏
Of course also in other formats, LV2, VST2 and VST3 are there.
The https://github.com/lucianoiam/consul project is specially cool, like a custom OSC remote control but simplified and in audio plugin form.
Also https://github.com/lucianoiam/hiphop is updated, which is how the plugins are built. Providing a way to mix JavaScript/HTML/CSS and plugin GUIs.
Cool stuff!
Firefox snap was updated to 108, sadly the WebMIDI functionality is not enabled.
meh 😞
Same happens on the chromium snap too.
They sure make it hard to be excited for these things... 🙃
ZamAudio and CLAP, just one more fix to get this working fully 👏 👏
See https://www.zamaudio.com/?p=976 for details on these.
The 4.0 release already has VST3 and CLAP, but a little fix is needed to get them to work nicely in these formats. Pull request already sent upstream.

We've just released Ardour 7.2. Not many big new features this time, but it's a nice balance between bug fixes and various improvements.
You can now use MIDI Learn for trigger slots, easily discover Ardour in TouchOSC, import and export Opus files, import MIDI Lyrics.
There have also been UX improvements, notably in the region bouncing feature.
Oh, and we've eliminated a lot of crashes when editing the tempo map!
See here for more details:
Firefox surely does not want people using WebMIDI...
Why is this prompt so different from all the others that ask for permission??
WebMIDI does work in FF 108 after you accept to install the extra addon for each site specifically, but damn couldn't it be a bit less scary? 😱

Weekly recap is out: new releases of RawTherapee, Zrythm, VCV Rack, Cardinal, a release candidate of MuseScore 4.0, and more
wondering if it is just me, or if others feel a similar problem..
week by week the number of unhandled emails increases, way too many discussions and tickets to reply to.
not sure if the number will ever start to go down at this point 😔
SurgeXT is now in Cardinal!
(together with MildMeld PatchMaster and stoermelder-packone too!)
Just updated the web version so you can try it out without installing.
See for a demo patch by JTB
Press "run" in the top-left module to begin the waves 🌊 🌊

Mastodon which is incredibly hot, supports RSS beautifully.
Just add .rss to any account to get the feed. Amazing!
https://mastodon.social/@davew.rss
Open that in your favorite feed reader. It’ll work.
Post a screenshot, say what the reader app is.
And pass this on to everyone who uses a feed reader.
Spread the word!
This is a huge deal for the open web.
