@sje this is seriously one of the weirder security stories I've seen in a while

Like, this was bizarre enough I had to check it wasn't actually April 1.

This is crazy. A compression library nearly every piece of software uses.

Singapore!

Yikes. UEFI remains a disaster:

I had a house bassline living rent-free in my head so I made it into a track to make it go away.

Some results of the DAW switch:

Also it turns out Soundcloud's mastering AI is awful, at least for this track, so this is my manual remaster.

Honestly I'm kind of tempted to just run Supercollider or Csound without a graphical environment for my DAW at this point.

I'm switching back to a modular DAW setup like I used to use in the oughts. To that end I built NON for Fedora 38 (spec here if anybody else wants to try it: https://weldongoree.github.io/packaging-non-daw.html ). It's going to be a big difference from Bitwig and Ableton but I at least think it will help me focus rather than just tweaking knobs all the time because I can.

If anybody's stuck with qmidiarp crashing on Fedora when you add an LFO or sequencer, I have a spec file to build a working version here: https://github.com/weldongoree/wmg-srpms/blob/main/qmidiarp.spec

Scrolling should move the viewport, not the content. I will not be taking any questions.

The difficulty of downgrading flatpaks speaks to a kind of magical thinking where regressions never happen.

Why do people still host projects on Sourceforge? It's like listing your house on HSN.

My worry is this new Eternal September will demonstrate that the problem was not Twitter but Twitterers
