SparkyLinux<p>There is a new application available for Sparkers: Forkgram. Forkgram is the fork of the official Telegram Desktop application.

Dr. Brian Callahan<p>I am building gcc-15.1.0 on my iMac G4 (Tiger) machine.

Hopefully others in the retro Mac community are interested in building that up with me.</p><p>My ultimate goal is to build some flavor of WebKit some day and have a modern web experience (even if slow, and possibly using X11).

Well, the Decent Sampler runs smoothely. But this iPad MIDI thing I don't get to run.</p><p>Another option would be to use my old <a href="https://digitalcourage.social/tags/MacBookPro" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>MacBookPro</span></a> 2017 with <a href="https://digitalcourage.social/tags/OSX" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>OSX</span></a>. Decent Sampler works out of the box on the old OS X 12.x.</p><p>I plug in my MIDI-USB source, which is a Roland GI20 guitar-to-midi system. OS X ignores it. I plug in some USB-MIDI-5pin adapter. OS X ignores it. I plug in another of these adapters/midi interfaces. Nothing.</p><p>Turns out in the end that the Roland GI20 does not work with Apple products at all. It only works out of the box with <a href="https://digitalcourage.social/tags/Linux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Linux</span></a>. For all other OSses it needs special drivers.</p><p>Apple offers me an update of IOS 15.something, and with one of the USB-MIDI-interfaces plugged into the oldskool MIDI port of the GI20 I can now finally use DecentSampler on an Apple machine, funnily on IOS 15, which fails with many MIDI applications such as MixingStation + fader controllers.</p><p>However, this iPad is too weak for DecentSampler.</p>
C.<p>This report about <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/Wacom" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Wacom</span></a> graphics tablets is disturbing for a couple of reasons.</p><p>1. They are surveilling users of their <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/tablet" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>tablet</span></a> - a human-interface device analogous to a mouse or trackball - recording every application you open, or when you switch between windows of different applications. They are collecting this data via a trip through Google Analytics, aka Spyware Central. There is no possible way to justify collection of this particular data; it is none of their damn business how long you have your drawing program focused before switching to your browser and back again. The author notes their privacy policy really doesn't describe this collection of data correctly, so there really can't be informed consent in the first place.</p><p>2. Why on earth is it possible in <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/Apple" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Apple</span></a> <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/OSX" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>OSX</span></a> / <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/MacOS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>MacOS</span></a> for a USB human interface device driver to capture this information in the first place? Apple shares a big slice of the blame here - this should just simply not be possible for the driver to collect in the first place.
