RIP to a kind soul that made of the wickedest plugins in existence

jenoki@jenoki.net · 4mo ago

My dear friend Kieran passed away on Thursday 2nd July. Many of you will know him as Illformed or dblue, the creator of the famous Glitch VST plugin. He was the most genuine, no-bullshit, kind-hearted, generous person I have known.

I made a tiny tool for quickly sharing small datasets (< ~1000 rows) without uploading any data to a server. 🔗 ziptbl.com It compresses the data into the link itself, so there’s no account, hosting, or storage layer involved. Here's Florence Nightingale's famous 📊 data: ziptbl.com#d=eNpdlE-LGz...

How the "Dear Jonas" letter to the Norwegian PM really sounds like*. 3rd rate cartoon villainy . *Credit to the original creator for this

Per a conversation w/ @thefallingdream.bsky.social: "AI Psychosis": ableist, saneist, makes it seem like an individual problem; washed "AI Ensorcellment": highlights both the truth of the magico-religious commitments underlying all tech *&* the curse-like nature of systemic "AI" impositions; fire

And similar to my original gist, to better direct people to the appropriate details in a slightly less scattered/chaotic way than in the past: Serum 1 Preset File Format (.fxp): gist.github.com/0xdevalias/5... Serum 2 Preset File Format (.SerumPreset): gist.github.com/0xdevalias/5...

I also added 2 new sections to my new gist, summarising the Serum 1 preset (.fxp) file format notes: gist.github.com/0xdevalias/1... And the Serum 2 preset (.SerumPreset) file format notes: gist.github.com/0xdevalias/1...

Speaking of old projects of mine; there's been some interesting discussion recently on one of my old gists that in part is about reverse engineering / figuring out the Serum VST preset file format.

A reminder that working in the open, even just amongst your colleagues, takes time, effort, care, thoughtfulness and dedication. It can feel exhausting, yet failing to invest these intangibles can lead to obfuscation. And yes, this is a note to self, not a criticism of others!
