My audio VM works generally well (even great) except for one problem:
#Ableton Live doesn't see the content in #VirtualBox shared folders.

Does anybody have an idea how to solve this? Note that the guest OS (win) can access normally everything in the shared folders, and it's only Live that doesn't (without errors or anything).

So anyway, here's my #askfedi of the day and it'd be great if you could boost for visibility since the #linux -> #linuxaudio -> #Ableton -> #VirtualBox crows is... tiny?

I need about 65 new followers to hit 2k, and I'd love to get there before my next release! To that end, I'd love it if anyone who finds my feed to be particularly interesting, useful or entertaining to tell a friend, give me a shoutout on your TL or whatever else you might think of that could help spread the word.

And who might want to follow? Musicians who want to get more ears on their music; music fans looking for new stuff to love; anyone who likes weirdos.

I do follow back, too!

Thanks to Zuck's being the utter shit he is, I'm being forced to manually delete all my old FB stuff.
Hence I'm being forced to delete gems like this

Please tell me that when artists talk about «quick doodle» they're referring to 6 hours of hard work because I refuse to believe such beautiful stuff can come out from an actually quick doodle.

I'm gonna be unemployed in three days.
I have a mysterious, probably murderous fungus growing uninvited in a vase.
Israel and Russia are keen on starting WW3.

Still, I dreamed of crows, and I woke up (too early) with the moon right in front of me, so I guess it's time to ask for their help.

Destroying the planet we live on -- the only planet we can live on -- is of course totally legal and even supported and subsidised by governments around the world (including #Scotland's).

But PROTESTING against destroying the planet? That's illegal. That's very, very illegal. Don't even think about doing that.

I live in a timeline where node.js is "fast thanks to javascript" while python is "slow because it's an interpreted language".

Does anybody have a ticket to the timeline where words have meaning?

Damn AI got me again. WTF. I wish I could report this junk somehow. It's worse than spam.

I had to choose three songs out of thirty I liked, so ultimately I had to choose based on these factors:

• the music I liked when I was 14
• would I still like it played in reverse
• odd/even seconds duration
• did birds alight on my balcony while I was listening
• do I already own a t-shirt suitable for a concert where said song is performed
• would the song still exist in the Non-Shit Timeline

Thanks to all #fedivision for being so amazing and making me a little less desperate <3

Yes, we're all laughing at Google's "AI" idiotic responses about Al-Qaeda Peppa Pig and gasoline pasta but think about all the other ones.
The ones that are not so blatantly stupid. The ones that are just wrong and are being served for millions (billions?) of questions.

A laughter that will bury us all.

As far as I'm concerned, the current status of (generative) AI is functionally equivalent to the rise of fascism.
We shouldn't have let our guard down with both-sideism and alt-righters and "free speech absolutists" and all the other ways we let them move the Overton Window. We wouldn't be here, if we'd been more careful.

Let's not make the same mistake with GenAI: repeat with me

THERE IS NO GOOD USE GENERATIVE AI.
FIGHT GENERATIVE AI.

Managed to listen to a dozen #fedivision tracks and I found that about a third resonate with me the right way.
Which means I'm likely gonna end up with a 24-track "shortlist" (ahah) that I'll have to whittle down to three.

People, please stop being so talented, will you?
Somebody doesn't have a lot of time!

Being a grownup means starting with "today I'd like to Y" and finishing with "fuck no, I need to X instead".
Every.

Yesterday I got bounced by a very promising company (I wish them all the best, sincerely) so I had to start looking at job offers again and I AM SO DEPRESSED.

pgcd, 24 days ago to gamedev

Thirty years ago, a friend and I concocted a TTRPG with its own system (custom stats and mechanics etc) and setting, and it might be fun to try and make a CRPG out of it.
Assuming zero specific knowledge and non-existing art skils on my side, is there a free (or close to free) engine that could allow me to get something up and running to see if makes sense?
