Qtractor 1.5 4 was recently released on April 04, 2025.

Qtractor is an Audio/MIDI multi-track sequencer application written in C++ with the Qt framework. Target platform is Linux, where the Jack Audio Connection Kit (JACK) for audio, and the Advanced Linux Sound Architecture (ALSA) for MIDI, are the main infrastructures to evolve as a fairly-featured Linux desktop audio workstation GUI, specially dedicated to the personal home-studio.

Yup. It's *because* it's so valuable in so many ways that I get so frustrated with the ways that it's terrible.

There are people on there actively fighting against the whole idea of neurodiversity and doing their best to prevent autistic people being listened to about autism, but it's hardly like it's the only place that's happening.

Sauropods.winmyrmepropagandist (@futurebird@sauropods.win)Everything wrong with the Wikipedia is something that is just generally wrong with working with humans. My experience with the Wikipedia included being harassed white nationalists because I edited their creepy "Race and IQ" article. A very ugly experience. I did not feel supported or protected by "the wikipedia community" -- Despite this, I STILL think it's one of the best resources on the internet. That Mr. Musk wants to destroy it only makes me more confident this is correct.

So only 15% of the people responding to this poll have ever seen a medical professional about their autism, aside from during the diagnosis process.

It's fascinating to me that some people are still so attached to the medical model of autism, when medical professions - and by extension, I would suggest, the whole medical perspective - seemingly have so little to offer autistic people.

Autistics Life CommunityFergus Murray (@Ferrous@autistics.life)I've been thinking about how autism is considered a medical condition... but how many of us have ever seen a medical professional about our autism, except in the process of being diagnosed? Have you? If so, who? (Would appreciate sharing for wider reach) #ActuallyAutistic #AskingAutistics @actuallyautistic@a.gup.pe [ ] yes, I have [ ] no, I haven't [ ] not sure

@protonprivacy is looking for a Senior Software Engineer (Linux Desktop). Right now today, the Mozilla VPN frontend for Linux is better. The code is available and easily buildable on Linux but there are very strong concerns around privacy and some of those vpn routes including Mozilla as an organization being ripe for capture, if that isn't already the case. This looks like it would be a fun gig but probably not best for a US based citizen/programmer in our current environment. Sharing because this one is important (i use Proton and you should too, especially if you're in the US), I would be more than happy to cosign for anyone of my peers in the EU, Caribbean here.
