A brand new 68k Mac emulator quietly dropped last night!!

“Snow” can emulate the Mac 128k, 512k, Plus, SE, Classic, and II. It supports reading disks from bitstream and flux-floppy images, and offers full execution control and debugging features for the emulated CPU. Written using Rust, it doesn't do any ROM patching or system call interception, instead aiming for accurate hardware-level emulation.

Shame on all those who do business with Israeli capital which is founded on the ongoing massacre of Palestinians, their historical displacement and the looting of their land.

No collaboration with Israel!

How much music theory do folks here know?


Original question by @Electric_Druid@lemmy.world

Just out of idle curiosity. I went to music school and teach at a local music shop, so I'm very familiar with music theory but I'm aware that my experience is most likely not the norm.

If you are familiar with any theory (even just scales and keys), where did you pick it up? Lots of the resources I've seen both in and outside of formal education can be both confusing, and it's often hard to see the application of what you learn in the short term.

In Euskadi (Basque country), solidarity with Palestine is super high. Saw Palestinian flags and solidarity graffiti everywhere, in working class neighborhoods, as well as many of the tourist hot spots. Sometimes the majority of windows in a single apartment complex displayed Palestinian flags.

This should come as no surprise in light of the history of colonialism and oppression of the Basque people by the Spanish state, in general. And, in particular, the mass slaughter of Basque civilians in Guernika on April 26, 1937 by Hitler's Condor Legion, in support of Spanish Fascist leader Francisco Franco.

This can be seen in the accompanying mural, which includes the portion of Picasso's famous Guernica painting depicting a grieving woman holding her dead child, reminiscent of so many of the horrifying images we are seeing coming out of Israel's genocide in Gaza.

Avec un gestionnaire de paquets moderne, une grande compatibilité matérielle et des mises à jour régulières, Mageia convient aussi bien aux débutants qu’aux utilisateurs avancés.

Son bureau KDE par défaut (mais GNOME, Xfce,LXQt,MATE et Cinnamon sont possibles) est personnalisable à souhait, offre une expérience fluide et moderne. Malgré sa qualité, Mageia reste discrète dans les médias francophones, mais elle mérite vraiment d’être découverte et soutenue par la communauté Linux. Donnez-lui une chance et plongez dans un univers Linux libre et convivial !

Aller sur le site de téléchargement Mageia officiel.

in reply to stephie

Danke, sehr interessant!

Als erste Einschätzung (ich bin vom Fach) sieht das solide aus, auch wenn die Zahl indirekter Todesfälle bemerkenswert niedrig erscheint. Ich habe ja damals, als das mit dem indirekten Multiplikator aufkam, selbst gemeint, dass ich es für plausibel halte, dass er weit niedriger liegt als 4. Aber ein indirekter Tod pro direktem hätte ich als Untergrenze gesehen.

in reply to stephie

@bifouba Am Anfang hat man die toten oder vermissten UNRWA-Mitarbeiter (die man exakt bestimmen konnte) auf die Gesamtbevölkerung hochgerechnet. Es gab also niemals eine wirklich objektive Zählung aller Toten. Extrapoliert man die Anfangsteigung der Totenkurve (20000 in 3 Monaten) auf die Gesamtzeit (hab 1.5 Jahre genommen) wären das mittlerweile mindestens 120000 Tote. Hab von Schätzungen von 300000 Toten gelesen. Das ist natürlich ein Politikum. Die wirkliche Zahl werden wir nie erfahren. Berücksichtigt man aber die von Anfang an verwendete Munition der Artillerie sind hohe Todeszahlen von vorne herein beabsichtigt gewesen. Bin nicht von Fach. Interessiere mich aber dafür. Die UNRWA wurde dann verboten oder deaktiviert und seitdem steigt die Kurve nicht mehr so rasant. Denke da wird manipuliert. Liegt auch nahe …
in reply to superketchup

@superketchup
Das mit den UNWRA-Mitarbeitern war nicht die Grundlage für die Zahlen, sondern diente nur als Indiz für deren Plausibilität, da die offiziellen Opferzahlen (überwiegend namentlich bekannt) als Anteil an der Gesamtbevölkerung ziemlich genau dem Anteil der UNWRA-Mitarbeiter entsprach, die getötet wurden. Was man erwartet würde, wenn die Angriffe eben flächendeckend zufällig jeden in der Bevölkerung treffen.

Die kolportierten 300T sind methodisch nach derzeitigem Stand nicht haltbar.

Und auch wenn es stimmt, dass im allgemeinen auch Jahre später noch über die Zahlen z.B. in Bosnien oder Ruanda gestritten wird, liegt hier der Fall tatsächlich viel, viel einfacher. Da es ein absolut geschlossenes Gebiet ist, und alle Grenzübertritte erfasst wurden, müssen nur nach Ende der Kampfhandlungen die verbliebenen Personen gezählt werden. Die Schätzungen beschränken sich dann auf die Zahl der konterfaktischen Geburten und Sterbefälle, die es im ‘business as usual' Szenario gegeben hätte, aber über so einen kurzen Zeitraum wird das das Ergebnis nur minimal beeinflussen.

in reply to stephie

Leider habe ich es nicht ge-bookmarked, aber neulich (maximal 2-3 Wochen her) hatte ich einen Toot in der timeline, mit einer Meldung der Gesundheitsbehörde in Gaza, dass es an dem Tag soundsoviele 'neue' Opfer gab und – der interessante Teil – soundsoviele Fälle, in denen Verletzte aus Angriffen der vorherigen Tage gestorben sind. Du hast das nicht evtl. auch gesehen? Evtl. ist das eine Kategorie, die je nach Methodik untererfasst wird, also durch traumatic injury getötet (und deshalb nicht “indirect”), aber nicht unmittelbar sondern zeitversetzt (und deshalb möglicherweise nicht "direct" erfasst). Bei einer Haushaltsbefragung sollte das eigentlich keinen Unterschied machen, aber es wäre interessant mal nachzuverfolgen, ob die offizielle Zählung nur um die Zahl der bei Angriffen an dem entsprechenden Tag Getöteten steigt, oder in stärkerem Ausmaß und dementsprechend vermutlich auch um die, die ihren Verletzungen erliegen.

Living Planet Symposium Extra News: Day 4

Harmonising ERS scatterometer data

The fourth day of ESA’s Living Planet Symposium was busier than ever.

Today, ESA signed an agreement on integrating satellite data into global environmental reporting frameworks as part of ESA’s Fundamental Data Records Framework. A contract with the Finnish government and the Finnish Meteorological Institute was signed to establish a calibration and validation ‘supersite’. ESA and the Taskforce on Nature-related Financial Disclosures paved the way to integrating satellite data into environmental reporting frameworks. And the New Space Scout missions were also in the spotlight as ESA signed a contract with ISISPACE to development of the Tango mission. Four new Scout mission concepts were also announced.

Music Production and Software Synthesizers/VST's under Linux


Hey everyone,

When I was previously on windows I had a lot of fun doing music production. My workflow took place in FL studio and used a lot of software synthesizers (VST files mainly).

After my switch to Linux, I am 95% better off. Everything is great except I have to rediscover a music workflow.

It's quite painful because I had licenses to some very expensive software synth libraries (The Arturia V collection for example). I have done some reading and have found that while it is possible to get FL studio working in Linux, it still doesn't have the greatest of results.

As far as that goes, I am not terribly concerned - Reaper, Bitwig, and other Linux DAW's exist and I am fine using those instead even if it means purchasing a license for the paid ones.

But the real problem is the software centers/Licenses/installations for my software synths. It would be such a shame and a waste of money if I couldn't get these working, but I don't know much about dealing with this on Linux, so I am appealing to your collective knowledge.

I wanted to ask if anyone has successfully installed the Arturia V collection on Linux for use in a DAW, and if so, what you think I should know about it. I thought I read somewhere about some software these could be emulated/installed through (not wine), but I'm just really open to hearing about recommended options for something like this if anyone knows.

Otherwise, I wanted to ask my musical Linux friends here what they have for VST's and what their workflow is on Linux, because it's always fun to develop new work flows.

Thanks

in reply to golden_zealot

As others mentioned in this thread, yabridge running in a native Linux DAW is a great setup. I personally use Reaper with yabridge, Serum, and a few other vsts here and there.

For others who are more knowledgeable than me: is there any reason (engineering-wise) why these plugins are made for Windows? Are there not cross platform and open source frameworks that let you compile audio plugins for Windows + Mac + Linux with minimal effort?

I genuinely don't know anything about audio programming, I'm just curious.

in reply to golden_zealot

Welcome and congrats on your migration under GNU/Linux.

VST is a proprietary format therefore it is made to not work on linux.
On linux synth or virtual instruments are LV2 plugins (like Helm, Surge or Vitalium) or SF2/SFZ soundbank (played with Sfizz or Fluid Synth).

Now Ardour, Bitwig and Reaper can load VST plugins, but :
- Some won't just work,
- Some will work pretty much the same (Kontakt seems to be working for some person, but it depends on the version I think),
BUT if the VSTs needs to be installed before hand (like Kontakt, Spitfire, SINE and I think Arturia V falls into that), you will have to install them first using Wine (or with a wine front-end, like Bottles, Heroic, Lutris). Then load them in your DAW, if they don't work there after being properly download and installed, I don't think there is anything much to do...
... Apart from try using a bridge (like Lin-VST or Yabridge), but here against results are still very unpredictable. I got some pretty good results with both on the past, but on my new setup none would work for my plugins (Spitfires mostly).

These companies won't make their plugins available under Linux cause 'there isn't enough people using it on linux' (words of someone at Spitfire who I was asking the question).

My workflow for production in a few words :
- One PC (recording, mixing, mastering) with a midi keyboard,
- One PC virtual instruments only, I use it when project requires lot of instrument tracks.

Edit : Yeah Carla can be used as well, it can load VST plugins and act like a plugin library (pretty much like Kontakt).

@matthew It's much improved, but it's always disheartening to see the threads where people continue to make false assumptions about how it works or what is even possible in this ecosystem. A few of the remaining privacy checkboxes that concern people are going to be taken care of soon, and then they'll have to invent new reasons why it's not secure enough

Meanwhile they'll keep telling people they should use Signal which only makes sense if you can actually access Signal in your country. "The best" tool being designed in a way that makes it impossible to use by people who need it most is pretty goddamn stupid
