If someone using Brave gives him money and that money goes in to a homophobic lobby it would be better for consumers to know that so they can actually consent to that. Consumers deserve to make informed decisions about who to or who not to support.
You're correct but in my experience everything I've used at a venue is analog, running almost entirely off of the mixing desk, without an external computer running Win/Mac/Linux. And half of these consoles I've used had a USB port which was used for, among other things, storing templates. This allowed for our front-of-house mix engineers and monitor mix engineers to cruise along because most of the work was done at home or in other venues. The software for writing those was Windows/Mac at the least, I don't know if any used Linux and I'm not sure if they were "human-readable" text formats.
At that price point I'm not so motivated to work on something FOSS, I care more for working with the hand-to-mouth musicians than the large institutions.
This is about FOSS and I can't see that Audiotool is FOSS, and Samplers are not Sample Libraries. Sample Libraries are ubiquitous among producers who want a good sounding recreation of a real instrument but cannot afford (or morally support), for example, Pianoteq's modelling algorithms or Spitfire's premium libraries, neither of which are FOSS, or the instrument itself or a session player.
As I said, the most promising multi-sampler or sample library software with an active community was Decent Sampler, which isn't open-source and now supports DRM.
In my opinion it is a terrible choice for a company to rely on a dependency like XZ, especially maintained by one person as a hobby, without being able to meaningfully contribute to the maintenance themselves. I just don't think I can be sympathetic to a company having to maybe bend a rule or two to donate.
This is one of the problems, these companies and other groups just use a dependency maintained by one person (Lasse) without meaningfully contributing to its survival themselves.
I've looked at these, especially LMMS, but in my view they aren't enough (or good enough) to completely escape non-FOSS.
Sample Library plugins, my area of interest, are under two or three banners: Kontakt, Decent Sampler and SF. None of these are appropriately free, although Decent Sampler shows the most promise of breaking down the class divide in this area.
Software for the production of music and audio, like Ardour but for more platforms which more typical people could use more easily, plus plug-ins for that ecosystem. It's a major sticking point how corporate that field is for me.
I have yet to use a USB-C to 3.5mm dongle for my phone that hasn't gone bust in my pocket in a few months. Probably time to see about a cable for the earphones that terminates in USB-C on the phone end, but that was difficult to search for.
I love my wired ones, and have been nursing some BT earbuds for years, but it's hard to use wired and not to move to BT anymore without buying a phone specifically for the 3.5mm jack.
It's additional because the recommended gesture typing libraries (I believe it's one made by Google?) are closed-source, so an open-source project wouldn't be able to share them within the repository or release and keep the open-source label because a component would be closed-source.
There are open-source gesture typing libraries out there but they're such a bother to set up I just accept the proprietary software. In HeliBoard it took me a few moments to have it going.
Non-Binary is just an umbrella term; it's not very specific to my mind but someone else's identity isn't mine to specify. It's theirs, and they may very much have a different conception of the word to the one that I have or identify strongly with it anyway. It's still useful in a binary world.
I make sure to ask everyone -- binary or not, trans or not -- what terms they would like to be understood in and what those terms mean to them. That's the only important part, how they wish to be understood. If one of those terms is "Non-Binary" I will accept that and aim to make them feel safe.
Maybe it wasn't designed to be a purely technical review, then?

I don't slay queens, I serve them
I'm sorry, I'm on the fence. I'm all onboard calling "rizz" and "skibidi" cringe, but I'm never going to stop slaying or serving.
mraaaow :33
I've seen it above that level, again because of the USB port. Definitely not arena sized, but definitely large venue sized.
Yeah, there's a Behringer desk that is ubiquitous...

Decent Sampler (and the attached Pianobook community) fits my needs perfectly well, with the exception that it's not FOSS.

What do you mean the "live production stuff" exactly?
In my opinion it is a terrible choice for a company to rely on a dependency like XZ, especially maintained by one person as a hobby, without being able to meaningfully contribute to the maintenance themselves. I just don't think I can be sympathetic to a company having to maybe bend a rule or two to donate.

They can help by donating some of their billions.
Do you like your men like you like your software?
