Flock takes their privacy very seriously. But the ethical gray area in surveillance technology works both ways. Under no circumstances should elected officials or public servants enjoy an expectation of privacy when spending tax dollars to attend a surveillance lobbying event.

I see so many product presentation where the text is AI, the blog post is AI, the mailing list is AI. It's unbearable to read all the AI-isms. If you won't talk yourself to your customers, why expect them to pay attention?

Dear musicians, Why the HELL are you not only subscribing to Spotify, but sharing links to your music there? Why are you helping this company grow, despite them throwing you under the bus every single chance they've had in the last decade? I legitimately can't wrap my head around this.

When your representatives throw your community under the bus, your work has just begun. The silver lining of Flock's influence over police and lawmakers is that it points out exactly who needs to be replaced.

It was refreshing to see so many people showing up to speak about their concerns, and it was infuriating to sit there while a company lied about our research and videos. youtube.com/shorts/I_y7O...

Ah, we can't add this to Cardinal because it requires online access ;)

Yes I definitely agree, but your original post made it seem like this is only possible since VST3SDK was relicensed to MIT. That's not the case of course.

Wasted Audio @wasted.audio · 09/03/2026

Well obviously you cannot redistribute something you don't have a license for. I don't see how any of this is relevant to anything, though :)

Wasted Audio @wasted.audio · 09/03/2026

I don't follow, how is this relevant to the VST3SDK license?

100

Wasted Audio @wasted.audio · 09/03/2026

VST3 licensing has little to do with this ability. In general it's just not very practical to use audio plugins in this way since they poorly integrate with the game engine.

Ok maybe it was a fluke, after retrying it did load 🤷

On Debian 13 the standalone still gives the "UI could not be loaded" error, even with the suggested requirements installed. CLAP and VST3 versions seem to run fine in carla-single.

Best bet for Europe is to continue threatening the Silicon Valley tycoons and broligarchs with economic boycotts. Go after the money. Hurt their bottom line. The only thing that might avert war. These people still prefer the color green over white.

Turns out Google made up an elaborate story about me uploading a controversial video about "my trip to Israel" where I learned how wrong I was about the conflict. I've never been to Israel in my life. Gemini confidently confused me with a Newsmax commentator who uploads military videos.

You could use the same approach as we did for the WebAssembly generator that also requires a path to the SDK to get started.
