Achievement unlocked: get all the DISTRHO stuff listed in https://clapdb.tech/ π π π
The dedicated page https://clapdb.tech/developer/distrho has a nice size to it.
Now we just need to update the several plugins in https://github.com/DISTRHO/DPF/wiki/Plugins-made-with-DPF to latest DPF so we can enable CLAP π (and VST3 ποΈ) support "for free".

It's kinda crazy that I have over 3500 followers here on #Mastodon :D
Thanks! I hope you're enjoying my stuff!
And release is tagged.
DPF-Plugins v1.6 is out
https://github.com/DISTRHO/DPF-Plugins/releases/tag/v1.6
(DPF-Plugins is a collection of DPF-based plugins, including Kars, MVerb and Nekobi)
This release brings some fixes alongside finishing the VST3 versions and adds CLAP support.
Enjoy!
DPF-Plugins release incoming, get ready for a bunch of π π all at once!
Fixed up all known bugs, meaning ProM works stable yet again.
Its usefulness is questionable, but the coolness is not. π

Purism responded to my query regarding laptop battery.
> I'm afraid we still do not have batteries for Librem 15 models, and even if did, you're right, it would be problematic to ship to Europe.
This is quite annoying. Laptop is only around 2 years old...
Soon enough it will be unusable as portable device :(
Kinda ridiculous in my opinion. So much for sustainability π
I am trying to find a replacement battery for a Librem 15 laptop, I know the model number is U753-TS44-111 but can't find it anywhere :(
The Purism site page for it https://shop.puri.sm/shop/librem-15-battery/ says it does not ship outside the USA, so seems like I am locked out of options...
Has anyone had similar issues before? How did you solve it?
It is release day!
Got 3 of those today, super fresh
Ildaeil (including the version in Cardinal) can load VST2 and CLAP binary files to host them.
The rest is pretty much just bugfixes.
Carla 2.5.2
https://kx.studio/News/?action=view&url=carla-252-released
Ildaeil 1.2
https://kx.studio/News/?action=view&url=ildaeil-v12-released
Cardinal 22.10
https://kx.studio/News/?action=view&url=cardinal-2210-released
Enjoy!
The worst part about making releases is having to write about them. A little intro, a screenshot, changelog, perhaps some details and even future plans.
Sounds very bureaucratic and boring, and kinda is π
Must power through, tomorrow is release day! πͺ
Testing loading VST2 plugins in Cardinal, a special one this time...
π
oh just realized this allows to get bridged plugins too, simply by loading a DLL. neat πΈ
Wondering of a quick way to get more plugins loading inside Ildaeil, doing background process scanning (with cache and timestamp invalidation etc) has to come at some point, but would be cool to have something a bit easier that can be enabled early...
What about having a "Load from file..." on the plugin type combo-box?
Will fail for "shell" plugins that contain more than 1 plugin per binary, but those are not too common.. So maybe this is enough for now?

We got audio, midi, params, state and gui. I do not have a specific CLAP plugin for each thing, Ildaeil saves the day by bringing other formats as CLAP.
This still in a separate branch (named "reorganize").
But just need to fix the make-install step and merge all changes back to the main branch. Likely next week.
Then fun times with CLAP will begin π π π

I've truncated the 30-minute warmup section so you don't have to skip anything :D
Huge thanks to @falktx for hosting!

@witchescauldron well, mainstreaming is a deathcult given the status quo of what the mainstream is. I don't want to be forever counter-culture. I don't want to be rebellious for the sake of rebellion. I want environmental sustainability and economic democracy to *become* mainstream.

People who think "Open Source is thriving, it's everywhere!" and are all optimistic about it are doing the same thing as the people with electric cars and solar panels on their McMansions thinking that we're on track to deal with the climate crisis.
The *real* solutions for a healthy sustainable FLO world are all still marginalized and struggling, and the capitalist #greenwashing and #openwashing serve mainly to delude people about the state of things.
