Computers allow us to do incredible things.
But they also can be an incredible time sink and source of frustration when they refuse to do our bidding and demand maintenance.

Recently I've been on vacation. I have been glad to spend less time with (misbehaving) computers and more time with people and nature.

This weekend though computers wasted a lot of my time and energy. I think the grind is over for now...

It's never too late to get into woodworking though! 🤫

European Citizen Initiative is OPEN - SIGN NOW (we're 37% there!!)

stopkilinggames.com

I signed the EU initiative, and you should too!
Games being bricked after you bought them should be illegal, it's that simple.

Please tell your friends - this needs over a million signatures, but we're in the hundreds of thousands. We can do this!

Here Ross Scott explains what this is about:

A new video update on the #StopKillingGames campaign:

TL;DW: California does a weird thing that's probably more bad than good, US is a lost cause - all hope in EU, Ubisoft seems to have gotten the message, but we're not past 50% signatures yet and the rate is slowing down - we need to spread this message, get our gamer friends to help, but not just them - we're fighting for basic consumer rights. If this non-ownership BS becomes accepted, it will spread to other things.

@unfa This is awesome to see. FOSS and accessibility should have a lot more overlap than they currently do, so tools like this are fantastic!

@unfa I couldn't figure out if the training data for the model was ethically sourced or not. I hope so.

#StopKillingGames.com aims to delegalize game publishers thanos-snapping games you've paid real money for when they feel like it. Exactly what Ubisoft recently did with The Crew.

MattKC has a great short video about it:

Now is the best chance for us to have governments make laws protecting games from systemic destruction!

Rocket.Chat is trying to trick us. Shame!

If you're looking for an open-source community platform, don't look at Rocket.Chat. The company behind it is becoming worse and worse.

First they paywalled standard functionality, now they silently put people running "community edition" on "enterprise trial" hoping to catch people off-guard and scare them into paying up.
What kind of garbage business is this?

#RocketChat

"Enterprise trial" That I never asked for or allowed even.

@unfa@mastodon.social I was sceptical about rocket chat from the very first day. Seems having chosen mattermost instead wasn't such a bad decision after all. They too have an enterprise edition, but the self hosting community edition is fairly powerfull and runs smoothly for us since years.

A friend of my wife called yesterday because a rechargable battery she was charging had burst into flames and she had to put it out with plant soil. Good thing she didn't leave it to charge overnight...
I was asked to help figure this out. So I started asking about the charger and the batteries. It turned out the rechargable battery (presumably an AA cell) arrived earlier the same day from... #AliExpress
Don't get batteries and phone chargers from unknown sources. These can burn your house down.

FreeMoCap is an open-source, markerless motion capture solution that can work with cheap webcams or pre-recorded and synced multi-cam footage. It's just had a 1.0.0 release candidate! Woo!

@unfa I'm having a little trouble telling from the readme and docs whether it is capable of real-time tracking or if it is only capable of a batch process. If it can do real-time, I can see this becoming a great tool for the live VTubing scene.

Were you actually able to make that thing work? I downloaded and installed it and couldn't make it do anything. Very weird UI: I've never seen a menu item labeled "Control Panel" .

#BlueLab is an interesting suite of quite unique open-source audio plug-ins for Linux/Mac/Windows.
There's stuff like EQHack - a tool to help you match EQ curves between two tracks, Ghost - a spectral editing plug-in (?!) and Rebalance - a machine-learning based plug-in that can adjust elements in a mix between 4 instruments, possibly reduce vocals in a track etc - in real-time!

@unfa But I think that EQHack does something different. The manual says: EQHack is a plugin that enables the possibility to retrieve visually and
accurately an equalization previously done on an audio file.

The global politics are unfortunately affecting open-source audio. Not in a good way.

The developer of LSP plug-ins may soon be forced to serve in the Russian army. He's previously expressed his strong stance regarding the war and is definitely not on board.

The Linux Studio Plug-ins (LSP) suite is one of the most advanced and high quality. A real beacon in the libre audio.

My new video is here! This is a 2-hour live presentation I did for HKU.nl students in February 2022.

It's intended as a beginner introduction to the world of FOSS audio production. Enjoy and remember that you sharing it can make all the difference :)
