errr the "snap" versions of Firefox and Chrom(ium) still do not have WebMIDI support 😔
Glad to have an alternative Debian Trixie set up already, WebMIDI works nicely there!
It has been years though, so I guess nobody cares enough, or noticed...
So this is possible... web-browser based audio processing as part of your signal chain.
PipeWire makes this extremely easy to setup, and Ildaeil on the browser with some pre-compiled plugins makes the magic possible.
So here output from Firefox goes into Chromium to give it some LV2 reverb, then into some native metering plugin, then to the speakers 😆
Feel free to try this at https://ildaeil.kx.studio/
But ***beware of feedback loop when enabling input***
The browser will use default input!

"open the pod bay doors, Hal"
"sure, the doors are now open"
"no, Hal, they aren't. open the doors"
"you are right, that is my mistake. i have now opened the doors"
"Hal, the doors are still not open. open the doors!"
"you are right, the doors are not open. i have now opened the doors"
"Hal! the doors are still not open! i'm dying out here!"
"i am sorry, i did not open the doors when i said i had. that was my mistake. the doors are now open"
"... Hal ... open ... the ..."
Made a whole new plugin in just a few hours today 🎉

It would actually be < 1 hour if I didn't have to fix a few things on the framework first.
It's not really useful for users at all in general, this is just a testing tool for the Darkglass Anagram unit.
But I like to do things openly and there are no secrets on this one - all it does is send out MIDI - so why not have it open?

Can I just take a moment of your time to point out how awesome the folks are at @liberachat
We take #LiberaChat completely for granted. Like the floor we walk on, or the air that we breathe it's just there. It works. We use it every day with #Librecast and it works so well we mostly forget there are real people that make it all work.
Thanks, while I remember. By tomorrow I'll have forgotten you exist again because you do your job just too damn well.

I really enjoyed reading this article, full of self-reflection and self-awareness, about the consequences of millions of expats living in Lisbon (and environs). It doesn't pretend to have answers or be authoritative, but it felt profoundly inquisitive.

They’re putting blue food coloring in everything
"Why is my burger blue?" I asked, innocently.
"Oh! We're making all of our food blue, all the best restaurants are doing it now." the waiter explained.
But I didn't want my burger to be blue.

"Blue" food isn't food.
