GTK development would not be possible without the help of the @gnome project. Donations—especially recurring ones—to GNOME are necessary to ensure the continued existence of the infrastructure GTK relies on for building and testing.
The next episode of #AccessAbleton comes out at 12:30 EST today. In this one, we explored Live's browser, and take a look at adding your own folders to it in order to find your samples and other content more easily. Sorry for the delay with this one, I had some issues with Live's tagging system and wanted to make sure I knew what I was doing so as not to give out the wrong info. Link to the RSS feed: pinecast.com/feed/access-ablet…
Does it include recommendations for sites or other providers to get stuff like samples or instruments from? Abletons build in stuff get's pretty boring soon, well at leaswt if you haven't paid for it so far XD
@jonathan859 Hey, I am planning to do a full episode on some good websites to get samples, there's a lot of free options out there. I think I mentioned this in the latest episode, but towards the end I demo adding your own samples to the browser. I got those from Sample Radar: musicradar.com/news/tech/free-…
Not sure if you covered this yet, haven't had a chance to listen to the backlog, but I'd love to see you cover more granular editing techniques like the use of automation, the use of the Utility device/other devices in that class that let you do things Ableton normally doesn't super comprehensively offer. Thing changing the volume of only part of a track, or the panning of just one line of a vocal take for example. I know you can jump into an external editor and do it there but that's been my main hobble with Ableton so far; things that feel very simple but turn out not to be :)
@zersiax Yes, automation and more detailed editing stuff is definitely on the list and will be covered after I talk about effects and instruments in the next episode coming out on Monday.

Tramvaji jezdim v Liberci zridka. Vsude to mame kousek a navstev oblasti za nadrazim, kde by se tramvaj hodila, je za rok presne nula. I tak letos potkavam dost casto tuhle modrou smrt na novych karetne-listkovych terminalech.
Udelat to modre je za me dobry napad. Vina se prenese na windows a lide se vubec na chudactvo tramvajove ridicstvo nezlobi. Ovsem vcera jsem se dozvedel plot-twist. Tady se nic nesynchronizuje, ani zadna komunikace neprobiha. Je to aktivni stav toho zarizeni, ktery si muze revizor zapnout a vypnout magickou kartickou ... kdyz to vidam tak casto, tak si rikam, kdo jim tu magickou karticku vyfouk a jen tak ze srandy vypina terminaly v tramvajich.
Sen Paula Simons @Paulatics on the Senate passing Bill C-5 today w/o amendments bc they were "painted into a corner": #cdnpoli
"If we had made amendments, it would either require all the MPs to come back from their summer vacation and make the PM very unhappy, or we would have to wait until September ... and the PM had made a commitment the bill would be passed by July 1."
Senators have ONE job: be the sober second thought. You should have opposed it. I personally can't because the excuse of MP I have in my riding already called me extremist in the past when I disagreed with Bill the Senate let past.
Lot of people want to abolish the Senate. You just gave us the reason. And I'm am now agreeing with them.
I have to tip my hat to Microsoft for having worked so hard to convince the world that the City of Munich failed with their Linux migration.
It's of course just a big fat lie. Munich is since 20+ years growing their Open Source footprint. They are sharing and they are growing their use of open source.
"So we needed a feature in WinSCP, that was an open feature request since 3 years. We asked the maintainer, he said it would be 2 days of paid work. We paid, he delivered and it's now implemented not only for us, but for all of you out there. This all took less than a week." Yep, that's @klml
Just so you know, #OsmAnd is celebrating its 15th anniversary with 50% off its plans, which you can now pay for directly without paying the 'app tax' to Google or Apple.
I highly recommend OsmAnd — it's a Swiss army knife for maps! Open source. Based on #OpenStreetMap.
Yes, but... On web I cannot buy "Pro" (by clicking on "Purchase" nothing happens, although I am logged-in - using Firefox on Windows 11). In Android app I see even different prices for "Pro" plan (79,99 CZK / month or 400,00 CZK first year, 799,99 CZK next years). Bummer. #osmand
@jan_petrus Don't you have any blocker active? When I click "Complete Purchase", I get a dialog for payment details (Firefox/Linux). The prices in the Android app are higher because they include the "Google Play" tax.
I switched off all adblocks and so on, but no luck. Even on absolutelly fresh Edge (which I don't use at all and have no add-ons), I just see short blink of "working" circle and that's all. Same on "anonymous" version of Firefox...
@JauneBaguette Yeah, but one important feature to me isn't included: OsmAnd Cloud. I use it to sync my own favorite POIs, I can plan a trip on the computer and sync it to my phone etc.
And I think OsmAnd deserves financial support. But sure, if someone cannot afford it, F-Droid is an option, too.

Canadians, pay attention: Bill C-2 is a quiet threat to your privacy and civil liberties.
With so much happening around the world, it’s easy to miss what’s going on in our own backyard. But Bill C-2, now in the House of Commons, deserves your attention.
It lowers the threshold for law enforcement to access your private data—without a warrant. All it takes is "reasonable suspicion."
What kind of data?
* Internet and cellphone metadata
* Your location and activity logs
* Information shared across borders with foreign agencies
All accessed more easily under vague “exigent circumstances”
As a person who’s been accosted based on “reasonable suspicion” due to…. existing, I’m concerned that this bill expands surveillance powers and erodes due process protections that Canadians have long relied on.
I keep seeing arguments like, “If you’re not doing anything wrong, you have nothing to worry about.”
Let me be clear: that’s not how rights work.
Free societies are built on the principle that the law protects the innocent—not that we must prove we have nothing to hide.
If you're concerned (and you should be), reach out to your Member of Parliament. Let them know you oppose C-2 and support real protections for Canadian privacy and civil rights.
On June 3, 2025, the Canadian government tabled Bill C-2, omnibus legislation that, if passed, would introduce a wide array of new federal agency and law enforcement powers, and would significantly reform substantive and due process laws in Canada fo…
Wow. Solid majorities in the Liberals (60%), NDP (69%) & the Bloc (78%) all oppose Mark Carney using #BillC5 to override environmental regulations for fast-tracked projects.
Half still want proper ecological assessments; two-in-five in Quebec demand provincial input June 26, 2025 – The fast track on projects deemed in the national interest is well on the way to being paved.
I. P. Pavlova je speciální místo ve vesmíru, kde se lidé rozhodli vyzkoušet, jaké to je, když zkusí dát dálniční křižovatku do blokové městské zástavby, mezi chodce, obchody a tramvaje. Bohužel jsem nenašel nikde informaci, kdy má tenhle experiment oficiálně končit, určitě je to jen něco jako Zažít město jinak, že se to udělá na chvíli a pak to zmizí, žejo?

@bycx my se k veřejnému prostoru pořád chováme jako k parkovišti. Před panelákem v Luhačovicích, kde jsem bydlel, byla pěkná tráva. Jenže pak si někteří řekli, že je to super místo na parkování, aspoň to budou mít ke vchodu pár kroků. Rozjezdili tu trávu do bahna. Řešení? Ne, že by se tam daly zábrany nebo se ti lidi pokutovali. Vysypalo se to štěrkem, aby nemuseli vystupovat z auta do bahna. V zájmu pohodlného parkování jsou lidi ochotní obětovat cokoliv.
@sesivany My jsme dřív bydleli v bytovce a měli jsme jedno vyhrazené parkovací místo. V okolí postupně narůstal počet aut až jsme se dostali do stavu, že auta parkovala kde se jen dalo. Pak tam postavili malou bytovku s obchody v přízemí a několika parkovacími místy, na které dal ale majitel zákaz a tak vzniklo parkoviště z odbočovacího pruhu. Od té doby stála auta jejich zákazníků pravidelně i na našem vyhrazeném místě, které bylo zase za naším zákazem.
@bycx Trochu jsme to @honzajavorek unesli, ale taky musím poslat screenshot té naší nadmíru výtečné situace. :) Dřív, když se ještě hrálo na nějaký civilizovaný veřejný prostor, byla u těch popelnic značka "zákaz vjezdu". Ta hromada aut vzadu, z nichž polovina je schovaná za křovím, stojí na dnes již bývalém trávníku, kde jsme si jako děcka hráli. Dívám se, že vpravo před vchodem jako mnoho let před tím i nadále parkuje pán ve svém vylítaném Audi 80, takže ti, kteří si jen chtějí vyložit těžké věci, a pak jet zaparkovat někde legálně, nemůžou. A takhle my si tu žijeme. Od Prahy až po malé lázeňské město.
@sesivany Pánovi v Audi chybí už jen venkovní výtah přímo do bytu 🙂 Dřív se to řešilo tak, že mu lidi objeli auto klíčem. Dneska už i tihle mají auta, tak to nedělají 🙂
@sesivany Jo, to jsem sdílel před pár dny. Teda kromě toho, že to žiju. Můj příspěvek byl námět na scénu v dalším takovém videu, jestli mi rozumíš, aktuální report z bitevního pole na základě real time žitých pocitů přímo na I. P. Pavlova 😀
In case people didn't know, Creative Commons has been on the side of "screw your rights and livelihood, it's fair use" regarding GenAI training since at least 2021.
The new "AI" license 'signals' are interesting as a development (assuming anyone honours them when companies mass pirated commercial creative works!) but not a surprise (and apparently don't include a "no" option, because that's elsewhere in a spec and this is for granularity of yes)
Artists are understandably concerned about the possibility that automatic image generators like Stable Diffusion will undercut the market for their work.

Great talk by Hannes Mühleisen of #DuckDB about tables being a fundamental technology to civilization and not dismissing databases, SQL & ACID just because some implementation are getting old in the tooth.
DuckDB sounds awesome and I know @bert_hubert is a big fan.
@totenlegionChris Thanks! I have a good network of friends and family to keep me sane and grounded. Most feedback I get is after all positive. These slides are examples of different aspects of what might happen to someone in a position like mine.

Big Tech’s “Sovereign Clouds” are a Trojan Horse - servers in the EU, but still under US law (CLOUD Act, FISA): tuta.com/blog/sovereign-washin…
True digital sovereignty means European tech.
Together with @ecosia #Wire #MeisterTask and @Mastodon we want to empower businesses, governments and administrations to choose technology that protects Europe’s future.
AWS, Microsoft, Google - they all launched "sovereign clouds" recently. But the truth is, all US companies are subject to US data sharing legislation. Let's explore whether it's safe to use US clouds or whether it's just "sovereign washing".
Nikdy nezapomenu na ten chraplák a ikonickou kytaru- hudba která nás doprovázela při každém rodinném výletu,odvozu na tábor do kempu.Páč můj táta to ve staré škodovce pouštěl na kazetách při každé delší jízdě.Jaka to byla vždycky úleva když se kazeta zacuchala a máma po zbytek cesty za pomocí tužky a nůžek kazetu z autorádia dolovala 😁 Paradoxně mi dnes tento styl hudby až tak nevadí....asi zraju...jako víno 🍷
fireborn wrote an excellent series of posts about how badly accessibility is broken under #Linux. They include workarounds used, patches applied, patches submitted, and depressingly with things that worked a decade ago.
Naturally somebody volunteered to not read the series and reply with "first of all, it's GNU/Linux" as their opener.
*This* post is a line-by-line response to that comment.

The open source Nix-like ecosystem (including GNU/Linux, Chimera Linux, *BSD, and etc) is for everyone, and this whole "erm actshulee I use arch btw and it's gnu/Linux" is why people don't really feel that way about it
