Maybe I suffer from confirmation bias , but my assumption in regards to (corporate or community led) projects developed on mailing lists by now is:

* I will *never* get answers to any of my questions
* Improvements for build or release process are ignored
* Suggestions for improvements (e.g. test infrastructure, CI) are met with aggression

Okay, we know... We made fun of Adobe when its cloud service went down. We've made fun of Corel Painter and Clip Studio. We joined in the protest No AI Generated Images protest. We made our stance on NFT's clear. But this is beyond making fun of. This is EW! EW! EW!

That's not even funny, Avid

Cardinal Web has been updated!

https://cardinal.kx.studio/

It's like the Cardinal plug-in. A eurorack-style modular audio canvas that you can build synths or effects in and use in your DAW, live setup or share online.

All modules are built-in so Cardinal patches are fully portable also between operating systems.

That is - unless you use the Ildaeil module to load external audio plug-ins into your Cardinal patch ;)

TODO: make a Cardinal t-shirt that links to a web patch :)

Whoa, @github@twitter.com seems to have a serious spambot problem currently...

Wondered when #github mention based #spam would become a thing for me.

Apparently today is the day! 🤮

A corporate "digital ethics consultant" taking a firm stance against... personal privacy. Got it.

Next up: A big-oil "environmental consultant" explains why that pipeline spill is actually a net environmental positive.
