security and MIDI dont have to be related.
MIDI is a super simple and trivial protocol, just some bytes to designate status and channel, plus some values to go along with a message. midi messages dont typically take more than 3 7-bit values.

exception is sysex, which allows to talk directly to hardware yes.
but sysex is an optional flag on the webmidi API request.

the cardinal web app thing does not request sysex permissions but that popup still appears.

@emilis it is new in FF 108, will be officially out tomorrow.

@unfa actually nothing works on it right now, I cannot even load the homepage.

@unfa there are several bugs going on, that I see still not being fixed for a long time. That is why I kept myself on 4.x.x, the newer versions easily have stuff broken by updating.

Right now I see 2 big long-standing issues:
1. opening a URL for a specific room shows nothing, like https://chat.unfa.xyz/channel/software
2. big button to login does not work, we need to use the tiny door-with-arrow little icon near the top instead

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? 😱

@prokoudine @GIMP I saw that before, sounds like excuses from developers that just want to move on to more interesting things.

how do they want JPEG-XL to have more adoption (and thus be worth to support) if they never even enabled it by default?

@prokoudine @GIMP the new developments on JPEG XL seem weird to me. didnt google abandon the project recently?

@eylul these follow fridays are slightly anxiety inducing, weeks are passing by too quickly! 😅

(oh it is friday again already??)

@x42 I expected to be similar for you haha.

how do you generate those graphs? nice to see it displayed in such fashion, some days were really busy there!

@kamikazow noooo, that seems awful. I am glad my OCD is not that bad

@aniy haha sure, but best to not ignore invoices and receipts of course!

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 😔

@atsushieno yep, it is then DPF doing the magic of plugin abstraction, which includes web-assembly support.
JUCE doesnt officially support web targets yet

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
