'He added that finding developers who know vanilla JavaScript and not just the frameworks was an “unexpected difficulty.”'
From an excellent piece by @ricmac on one company's transition from React to native DOM APIs and vanilla JS

To be clear, since many folks seem to not understand it:
I am NOT saying Linux and FOSS software is perfect for all workflows. I am NOT saying you aren't "trying hard enough" if you can't switch or don't want to. I am NOT saying my way is better and your way is worse. I am NOT calling you lazy.
What I am saying, emphatically, is that telling people that #Linux and #FOSS are *incapable* of professional work is fundamentally incorrect.
It's my profession, I do it, and it works.
@prokoudine in theory in 4 years there will be less of them
Some nice news for a change, hope to see more like this 👏
@dvzrv around Lichtenberg station, 10m or so walking.
Reachable by U5, S5, S7 and S75, plus a few tram lines too.
So quite a good location.
After months looking finally getting a place for myself! 🎉
Exciting times ahead, but first a whole bunch of packing, moving, unpacking and assembly... in between a trip to Portugal and then Finland again.
It is going to be a while until life stabilizes again, but there is potential for great things.

@sampo I think I meant stuff like buildroot or yocto.
I use buildroot for work and like it, but yocto is more popular.
@dvzrv to be fair I had the same when using waf too and needed a "waf install -j 1" to fix.
but it shouldnt be a failure that the build system allows of course

Did you know that #XScreenSaver (yes, the collection of screensavers for X11) is available on Android?
And that #Google requires it to have a privacy policy in order to be available in the Play Store?
And that the maintainer chose to crowd-source a privacy policy where every item starts with "Unlike Google"?
It's become a great list of all the privacy violations Google did and still does. And I thought that it's gonna be long, but it's even longer than I imagined.
@sampo was indeed very nice! I order that special Finnish gin drink the next day :)
for the CM5 it is intentionally barebones, you are supposed to get the devkit first for validation, then do your own hardware/board.
these "compute modules" are meant to go in custom boards for being able to do custom IO.
radxa has other more generic all-in-one products too based on the same cpu.

Last week, I finally re-experienced the joy of composing music (as opposed to just playing by notes) after playing around with #MIDI, #pipewire and... *drumroll* #Carla!
_Carla_ is a patchbay for connecting different audio components together plus a plugin host for those same components. It is really nice to link audio processors together to get the sound one wants!
And that's—all open-source, made by @falktx—thanks man, you brought many smiles to my face last week (: #libremonday
@woof its a community that I am glad still exists. poor VGMix really tried to keep going even a 2nd time but failed.
on the age of web service centralization, projects like ocremix and even qhimm forums make me glad that some still care about maintaining such communities active
Casually checking an old game music site I used to visit, see the latest news about "Regarding Recent Technology Advancements"

hmmmm hope it is what I think it is...
> Starting today, the sharing of music generated by feeding a prompt into AI-software is prohibited on OC ReMix
👏 👏 👏
They explain their reasons, I am glad to see such takes.
@macberg totally understand. my plan for this one is a dual-boot, I would not be able to stand using Windows for the daily task stuff
@macberg so Windows on a VM? that kinda sucks for performance on audio and gpu, which are 2 of my critical points (the VirtualBox OpenGL support is quite meh).
Plus it doesnt test the real Windows experience that users get to see.
@minkiu having a reliable windows 11 install for music production and my own software testing, but really dont want to deal with so much microsoft nonsense on there.
just without internet is hard these days, so maybe if that was safely contained it could be made to work consistently and reliably?
most of the time the linux vm would be off, but on the occasion of wanting to install e.g. latest cardinal release, or running some software registration thing, would still be doable.
Imagine the scenario:
- Windows 11 system without internet access
- Linux VM running inside with internet access (maybe some usb wifi stick that Windows has no drivers for)
- web/internet browsing is only done through the Linux VM
- any downloaded files are placed in a shared folder, so the Windows side can install programs and also "send" files to the Linux side to be uploaded
How stupid of a setup is this?
Why is it so hot in Finland right now? I thought being so high up north would mean I would get to enjoy cold weather for a bit, errrrr
@sampo and other nice folks in Helsinki, anyone got plans for this Friday?
