@graves501@amadeus if you have linux experience already it is not that complex, but it is also not that simple as for mac and windows.
first we have the dependencies, vstgui uses some stuff that is not guaranteed to be on every distro (specially the minor libxcb packages)
you might need to build some of those deps statically.
then some of the linux features are missing or broken, I recall there being issues with fonts
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
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?
@amadeus So maybe you have a consultancy or nonprofit that offers user support for CLAP deployments, works with plugin vendors, hosts and backend/hardware implementors, and frameworks like JUCE -- with the goal of making deployment and support as simple and inexpensive as possible, without requiring much from small teams.
That might be insane, but I think someone needs to be willing to eat the cost and do that stuff to get it to take off.. and even then it may not be worth it. :(
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.
