Incredible! The thing is incredible! Finally a guitar plugin I can load confidently on Linux, sounds AMAZING out of the box, has all the flexibility anyone would wish for and rooms to grow.

It's Amazing, thank you so much for sharing this.
I haven't picked up the guitar since... since months I have felt the urge to go for it and had a good hour run at it.

I'm enjoying it so much...

🍄 Missed your jump over the mushroom?

🔫 Splatted next to your target?

🚧 Drifted your kart outside the track?

This shall happen no more!

We contacted Nintendo to address the recurring problem with defective Switch controllers and they agreed to offer all consumers the right to repair, free of charge, even beyond the legal guarantee!

This will prevent the disposal of unrepaired controllers and unnecessary waste.

Playing more with color today.

Godot game engine on GDC 2023. Juan Linietsky presents his vision for an open gaming ecosystem built on Godot, just like Linux has become the foundation for an open enterprise ecosystem.

Sonoj Convention 2023 has opened registration!
If you're into FOSS and making noise - that's a great event to meet like-minded people, learn new tools, make friends and memories that last decades :)

https://sonoj.org/

I've attended 3 Sonoj events in the past, and - if my health wasn't what it currently is - I'd be going to this one as well.

Entry is free, but registration is needed (limited space).
Where? Cologne, Germany!

Most folks I know who are worried about AI aren’t worried about these programs becoming self aware and oppressing us. That’s not a thing. We’re worried about all the ways these systems will ramp up existing inequalities and further obliterate our shared reality as human beings. That’s already happening.

🚨We’re standing up for the digital rights of all libraries today in court! Happening now: the Southern District of New York is hearing oral argument in Hachette v. Internet Archive, the lawsuit against our library. Here’s how you can help us defend the rights of libraries & readers:

Remember this picture every single time you hear someone in your city say "we're not Amsterdam."

This was #Amsterdam in the 1970s, via @fietsprofessor.

The cities we admire made better choices regarding cars, and are still making them today.

Better choices instead of excuses.

Because @bandcamp is so important to the future of music, so are its workers' efforts to form a union via @bandcampunited Bandcamp in general has been fair & equitable to artists, let's support efforts to make it the same for workers

Many FOSS projects would do with organizing themselves into non-profits, but there's not much information about how much work it is or how it's done. So I interviewed @yorikvanhavre about @FreeCADNews Project Association for @LWN. The post will be out of the paywall in two weeks
