Reading some comments I don’t know whether some use fallacious arguments deliberately or are simply incapable of logical reasoning.

I don't see censorship here could you enlighten me? It doesn't seem like they are trying to censor specific topics is it?

I'm not sure about that and if it is so, it's very recent. Playing online isn't bad and addictive per say I would argue though. My comment was more in response to someone who seemed to associate chess to the main online platform which to me, is using addictive patterns to some level.

Chess is healthy you get to go outside and meet people to play with, engage in your local club. Some online platforms make the thing addictive.

It is certainly not open and doesn't compare to ST2110. I was mentioning it for compressed video streaming.

Challenging but certainly doable with kernel bypass technologies and dedicated CPU cores.

It's worth mentioning NDI (Network Device Interface) as well, which is widely used in the Pro-AV for transporting compressed video and audio over IP.

Hi! I have been happily using Ardour as a hobbyist since version 5. At the same time I also started learning Pure Data. I was wondering how difficult it would be to implement a feature similar to "The Grid" from Bitwig. I’m not sure whether this could be done as a simple plugin, or if it would require much deeper integration with Ardour.

Then of course you are free to count 1024 bytes and call that a kB. Pretending everyone else will agree on that is a different thing.

It is true that Linux-based distributions have this thing in common: the Linux kernel. There have been some GNU/Hurd variants though...

Joking aside, I often hear people say "they should" when talking about GNU/Linux (for example: "they should just standardize on one audio stack"), as if there were a central authority making those decisions. What many don't realize is that with FOSS comes freedom of choice... and inevitably, an abundance of choice. That diversity isn't a flaw, it's a consequence of how the ecosystem works.

Audio latency on Linux was already very low long before PipeWire, thanks to JACK.
