"open the pod bay doors, Hal"

"no, Hal, they aren't. open the doors"

Made a whole new plugin in just a few hours today 🎉
https://github.com/Darkglass-Electronics/anagram-midi-control
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?
@unfa errr what?
> The plugins here are for sale on the site www.bluelab-plugins.com So please do not build them and put the builds online.
They can ask, but feels against the GPL. why are they opensource then?

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.
@ercanbrack I heard of it, but it requires MSVC which loses all my interest.

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.

@lunarloony the non-blue food eating people are becoming a minority :(

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.

@dreamer tempting but j2sc is also fine. it rolls off the tongue, je-two-se-k 😂
If you have not noticed, I have silently abandoned the Cadence project. It was one of my first projects so code quality was/is quite poor.
I do like the JACK configuration tool from it quite a lot and want to keep it, so I have "forked" my own old project, removed a bunch of stuff and made "J2SC" for "JACK 2 Simple Configurator".
https://github.com/falkTX/j2sc
No release just yet, but did a bunch of work on it today and it is close.
Requires PyQt6 to run.
Tentative first 0.0.1 release next week.
@loki_bass I am not sure if they have to since it is a closed box, the Linux is practically working as firmware.
note they only need to release source to customers, if you didnt buy their product you have no cause to ask for source.

Saw this self driving VW taxi via Uber driving around in Hamburg recently 🤔
@uucidl wonderful, thanks a lot!
we received already 2 reports from users about this so they will be happy to know a fix might be coming
@uucidl ASIO, using a thesycon based driver as most companies do nowadays.
I submitted a technical report, number 3046776. There is a crash dump in there.
If it helps to get hands on with such a unit for testing I can provide that.
Thanks!

This US visa application process took me 5 hrs and could not have been made to look more like a phishing scam even if they tried. The only reason I believe I wasn't phished is that they made actually paying for stuff hard, lol.
Half of it is goes over the most random looking websites that also just stop working, are operated by private businesses, your confirmation emails come via the weirdest email addresses, your passport get shipped to a random mailbox, etc...
Let's see if it worked!
@loki_bass they are? how so?
Anybody knows someone working at Ableton?
Ableton Live crashes when picking Darkglass Anagram as USB interface because of its odd-number of IO (3 capture, 9 playback).
It expects USB IO to be stereo, but there is no such restriction in the spec afaik

Cubase and Reaper work ok with it.
I summarized my Wayland + audio plugin UI adventures in https://github.com/lv2/lv2/issues/70#issuecomment-3067304097
I think in general it looks good, subsurfaces are a real blessing and I am glad to see it being well supported in compositors.
