As some of you know, I regularly write to #plugin#vendor (s) that I would like to be able to use their #synth (s) and #effect (s) #native (ly) on #linux. And wow, the feedback has changed for the better lately! 🥳
I'm currently testing a bunch of plugins that I never dreamed would make it to #linuxaudio. 🫣😜
Unfortunately, I have to keep quiet for now and it will probably take some time for them to be released, but I am more than excited. 😝 #musicproduction#daw
I would like to create a small #website as a starting point for #plugin developers who want to support #linux as a platform for #musicproduction. I plan to interview existing #linuxaudio#developers like u-he, TAL, AudioThing, Bitwig and others about this. Who of you would like to accompany and/or support me with this? 😊
@consint Don't worry. I do not have the time to do this at the moment either. But I'd still like to get it started. Help is not really needed. I was more looking for like-minded people to make the most of it (#swarmintelligence and such 😝) and overall just to share the journey, the fun. 😇
I guess I was just excited about the recent feedback I've gotten from some really great #plugin#vendor (s) out there and wanted to pave the way for an easier entry for future vendors who want to join in.
Dear #linuxmusicians, #linuxaudio heroes! 🤩
Do you think we should offer our time to #plugin#vendor (s) for free to help them port their plugins to #linux?
I've always done so in the past.
I also wonder if we should form some kind of consortium to proactively offer support to vendors.
But from my own experience, and depending on the situation, it can quickly become a lot of work.
What are your thoughts on this?
Every vendor voicemail and email I get at work: "Please call me at 555-555-5555".
Yeah, that's gonna happen! ;)
At least with the emails I am able to hit Reply.
How are you with business phonecalls, or just calls in general? #Voicemail#Email#Phonecall#Vendor
Because these posts scroll away, I have posted something on DataBreaches.net about the discrepancies between what Raptor Technologies has told school districts and WIRED and what we know about the incident -- and what we don't know yet:
CBIZ KA notified nine Prime Healthcare hospitals that some of their patient data was caught up in the #MOVEit#databreach. As I report this morning on databreaches.net, here are the 9 hospitals:
Saint Michael’s Medical Center,
Roxborough Memorial Hospital,
Garden City Hospital,
Landmark Medical Center,
Lower Bucks Hospital,
Saint Clare's Hospital,
Lake Huron Medical Center,
St. Mary's General Hospital, and
Suburban Community Hospital
According to a spokesperson for Prime Healthcare, it was just these hospitals and not any of their other 36 hospitals or more than 300 outpatient locations in 14 states.
I am really just noticing that a lot of these IT certification programs are really just #vendor#indoctrination. They're trying to turn you into an uncompensated sales rep for their platform. Today I just can't. I just can't pretend or even get up the motivation to engage in something so enshitified that I just don't care about.
If this were something #opensource, I would have no problem with it because it would align with my principles. But #salesfarce is almost more than I can deal with right now.
#RansomedVC had claimed 600k data records, where each line was a complete record, but it seems that only 4k of those records were from registered D.C. voters. Not yet clear what the other records were from.
Repeat after me: "Date of discovery" does NOT mean the date you completed any investigation. It is the date on which you first knew or reasonably should have known that you had a breach of unsecured PHI.
It is not a huge breach as breaches go, but Sightpath Medical's breach notification raises a lot of questions about compliance with HIPAA's Breach Notification Rule. I hope #HHSOCR investigates this one.
Admiration for my friend @amvinfe for his persistence in following up on the #Blackbaud#ransomware attack of 2020 and trying to get accurate info on the education sector victims. See his "final chapter" blog post at:
They're all supported with their original #ports "USES", by some #bmake trickery in my new "USES=linuxsrc", fixing up just the parts that are different when building from/for the Linuxulator (like adjusting dependencies and commands to use the #Linux-native versions).
