Coming across #furnacetracker and #sunvox in the same day, has made my day ...

Both are independent pieces of music composition software that are free to use. #freesoftware

Sunvox, as far as I can tell, has a lot of filters available that can be applied to instruments, and these filters can be programmatically controlled over time. I have not investigated Furnace too deeply yet but I managed to scrape together a melody in a pattern this afternoon.

As a former tracker enthusiast (composing via music trackers), it's awesome to see what projects have come about.

Link to SunVox's front page, which has many colorful screenshots, and tracks that can be played directly. They have compos (competitions) each year, it seems, and it's very cool to find a healthy community of artists doing their thing and learning from each other.

Échirolles citĂ© au conseil rĂ©gional AURA du 2 avril 2026.

Lors d'une dĂ©libĂ©ration pour la prĂ©fĂ©rence rĂ©gionale, VĂ©ronique Vermorel (Ă©cologiste, IsĂšre) propose un amendement sur le passage au libre. Éric Hours (communiste, ArdĂšche) cite Échirolles et demande que la ville soit auditionnĂ©e. Amendement rejetĂ©.

Anyone know what's going on with the @osi Executive Director search? IIRC, they were aiming to fill the role by this past January.

Offenbar sollen #SAP und #DeutscheTelekom eine #BĂŒrgerApp oder #DeutschlandApp fĂŒr die @Bundesregierung programmieren.

Die #CoronaWarnApp der gleichen Auftraggeberin und -nehmer war damals #freieSoftware. Wird das wieder so sein? Wird die App nur auf Android und iOS laufen oder auch auf #Linux?

Prototyp schon im April: Regierung beauftragt SAP und Telekom mit Entwicklung der „BĂŒrger-App“

Kindergeld, Wohnsitzanmeldung, UnternehmensgrĂŒndung: Die sogenannte „BĂŒrger-App“ soll als zentrales Serviceportal staatliche Leistungen bĂŒndeln. Mit der Entwicklung wurden SAP und Telekom beauftragt.

I just sent a message to the European Commission regarding the threat google poses to individual freedoms, calling for the closing of the Android platform, which would make it virtually inaccessible to developers of free software.

The message was sent here: https://digital-markets-act.ec.europa.eu/contact-us-eu-citizen_en

And I did this by following the helpful advice at https://keepandroidopen.org
