Steinberg gibt Audio-Schnittstellen ASIO und VST unter Open-Source-Lizenzen frei

Software-Entwickler können die Audio-Schnittstellen künftig in Open-Source-Software einbinden. Das öffnet den Weg für eine breitere Nutzung unter Linux.

You know, I'm really starting to empathize with the "toxic" FOSS developers/maintainers.

I took a break from @usebottles due to internal issues and eventually stopped contributing to it because everything we did always led us to a lose-lose situation.

I thought that focusing solely on Flatpak would solve most distro-related problems. Boy, was I so wrong. Distros continue to package Bottles with their inferior packaging systems (inferior in terms of desktop apps, except Nix, because it's one of the few good ones), even when we explicitly asked not to, for various personal and technical reasons. Users continue to ask for support on 6 month old versions of Bottles (no joke), and distro bros continue to package Bottles because """it's the spirit of FOSS""".

Now that @mirkobrombin is the only code maintainer again, he wants to switch from GTK4+libadwaita to Electron. Why? Because he's a developer with real feelings (shocker!) and wants to enjoy maintaining again. But noooo, now users are whining because OMG ELECTrON BLoAT!!!111

Cool, you don't like the direction? Fork the project. Oh, you don't have the time? Then why waste your time whining? Why are you trying to tell maintainers what to do with their free time? Seriously, you're not helping anyone.

It really sucks that many FOSS developers maintain great projects and get trashed on a regular basis. You as a user are not the main character of the universe.

To maintainers who regularly experience harassment and entitled users: I'm really sorry you have to go through this. You have my utmost respect, and I hope you continue to enjoy maintaining your software.

For years, DAW developers and audio hardware manufacturers have been pinning lack of Linux support on each other. Now PreSonus is releasing Studio One for Linux too, after Reaper and Bitwig. This is going to be interesting.

Mache gerade erste Gehversuche mit Smart Home. Spannendes Thema! Und vor allen Dingen auch gut und sicher im lokalen Netzwerk mit #zigbee und @homeassistant auf dem #homeserver machbar. Ohne Cloudzwang und Hintertürchen, so macht das Bock :)

Ich bin wieder auf @kde unterwegs. Im Dualboot mit #ubuntustudio und @tuxedocomputers OS 2. #gnome ist eine großartige Platform, aber die schlechte fractional scaling Implementierung hat es für mich leider wieder gekillt. Außerdem machte #fedora immer mehr mucken.

Sobald das mit dem fractional scaling vernünftig läuft (oder ich ein Gerät habe, bei dem 1x oder 2x scaling für mich passt), hätte ich aber auf jeden Fall wieder Bock auf #gnome :)

From my perspective #eliticism is one of the most prevalent forms of #toxic #social #behavior we see in various #FOSS #communities. I've been making fun of it in the past, but I feel like I should keep talking about it.
Eliticism is pumping up your ego on some one else's expense. Diminishing others who aren't as advanced or experienced as you. Doing this you deter people from learning about #FOSS or #Linux etc. But it can also hurt you - like loosing a #job because you argued company workflow.

It has been some time since the last part. But I think this is a realistic release frequency for me. Without further ado:
