@EC_NGI @nlnet @ps @glsbank @oec @leoo If there is one way to finally spontaneous make micro (<1€) payments on the internet viable, then it would be @Taler.



Happy #BandcampFriday! If you're new to my music, the best place to start is here:

etherdiver.bandcamp.com/album/…

That's my most cohesive and polished release to date. It's still a deeply idiosyncratic and challenging musical vision, but it's as approachable as I get!

If you're already a fan, and/or are up for something a little looser, weirder and wilder, check out my latest release, Metaphysical Shitposting:

etherdiver.bandcamp.com/album/…

It's a collection of semi improvised and loosely structured pieces that explore the noisy side of ambient and kosmische, and occasionally go full freakout.

And if I may be so bold, if you're looking to spend a few $ on my music, the full discography is the way to go: get *everything* for less than the cost of 2 of my albums!

#Gaza #Palestine
#IsraelWarCrimes

A Palestinian family grieves the loss of their 10-year-old daughter, Tala, who was killed by an Israeli strike while she was roller-skating in Gaza.

Her mother, Um Tala, says her daughter wanted the war to end so she could go to school and "learn like all children."

An Israeli air strike had hit a building directly in front of the space where Tala and her friends regularly played.

The 3D-printed ink stands and pen tray I ordered arrived! I ordered them in orange so they'd be easy to find. I actually ordered only 6 items, but Enrico decided to improve the design of the Diamine 30ml tilted stand by making it taller and more stable. He threw in the original Diamine shorter stand, which surprisingly fit my Pilot Iroshizuku 15ml. The 5-pen tray is for drying my newly washed pens on, or whenever I disassemble a pen and need not to lose parts.

hey you two play nice if you're going to tag me in! We're all friends here.

My take: the Bandcamp app on Android is a bit underwhelming in terms of features and not everything works especially well. This isn't a new thing though.

The fact it's no longer in the Google Play store is probably a combination of Google's greed and them noticing that Bandcamp is no longer owned by Epic. But might also be that BC dropped the ball on some tacit agreement.

in reply to Sir Rochard 'Dock' Bunson

you're right. in the app they don't default to default browsers. it asks for an app to open it with. and wow, it's really just for links that end with @ user ? really curious bug.

sorry if I sounded like I work for bc. not my intention at all. i'm very carefuly watching when the bc will start to deteriorate. i love the platform, but the sale was clearly a milestone towards a possible decline.

niestety straszny gniot i uważam, że nie powinni wracać w takiej formie. Już nie chodzi o sam wokal, ale piosenkę.

Szkoda, że nie sprawdziły się plotki jakoby wokalista Sum 41 miał przejąć mikrofon po Chesterze.



Don't forget!!!

I don't think I've ever been so eager to speak at a conference, or as excited by the lineup of other speakers.

It's going to be a great time for people at *all* levels of experience, so don't miss out. I hope to see y'all there 🤩

Noura Erakat reacts to Kamala Harris' recent comments calling Hamas an 'Evil' and 'Terrorist' organization.

This follows a long trend of the mainstream media and U.S. government holding Israel and Palestinians to double standards. Noura also explains how students can continue to protest safely.

Noura Erakat is a human rights attorney, Professor of Africana Studies and the Program of Criminal Justice at Rutgers University, New Brunswick.

This week on the ShareTIGR lab blog (sharetigr.usi.ch/en/news/feeds…): Why #metadata is important for FAIR data sharing and reuse? Metadata is an important topic in data management. In this post, Nina Profazi reflects on the relevance of descriptive, technical and administrative metadata for interactional linguistics. Later, we will discuss the specific choices to be made at this regard for our conversational data on the LaRS repository. #openscience #openresearchdata #opendata #spokenlanguage #corpuslinguistics #interactionallinguistics
