On Sept 7th (today in CEST), #Assange will have his next hearing in his extradition case.

You may not like the guy, but what is being done to him is an utter disgrace.
And if he's extradited and thus convicted, no journalist on earth will be able to do their job anymore.
No War Log, no Panama Papers etc

Having trouble getting JACK and/or Pulseaudio to work nicely. Supercollider, Foxdot/Sonic Pi/TidalCycles, all these things use JACK and often I can't get any sound out of them.

Now after stopping JACK I can't get any sound at all, out of Pulse. Can anyone help sort out this mess in general? On Arch Linux.

Hey folks!

Did you know that @lindsays is working on an open source to pro-audio?

The project is called #OSSudio and it could use your help!!

Do you have an idea for a module?
Do you know how to do PCB designs?
Maybe you just like the idea. Pass it along! :D

I see a lot of open source software projects that do not do a good job of describing themselves.

It's okay. There's nothing shameful about that.

Most programmers aren't writers.

Just like most writers aren't programmers.

I can't code to save my life, but I can write some killer copy and content.

Know of any open source projects that need copy written?

I want to contribute.

One of the more unpleasant characteristics of Mastodon is the number of people writing posts saying "don't argue with me or comment on what I said for XX reasons" It's a public forum. If you don't want anyone to comment, challenge your position, give advice or ask questions then I strongly suggest you DON'T POST THOSE OPINIONS PUBLICLY.

Facebook is now on the board of the Linux Foundation, which would be a bad sign if that board weren't already populated by Tencent, Huawei, Oracle, Microsoft, and Google.

Hello World! This is my first attempt to use social media again after deleting almost all my "mainstream" social media accounts 2-3 years ago. So which of the following are you still using? #introductions
