Occasionally, I make noise: #ambient whatevers and retro-chill tech some-such - https://amberlucent.bandcamp.com/ / I was on mp3dotcom years ago / #photography and dabbling in an abundance of hobbies.
I'm not quite sure how people are really using a site like Ko-Fi or similar? Do people really just ask for tips to fund stuff and that works? I'm used to offering something in return.

By the way, I know streaming platforms have been gaining some negative reputation lately. My whole discography is free on Bandcamp. Both as Alex Bober and Magdalene Flowers (if you even remember that little project of mine). Not even "name your price", absolutely free. The link is in my bio.

Hey #music people: is there anywhere apart from Soundcloud and Bandcamp where I can post a track so people can stream it and listen? Preferably not an unethical craphole of a site. At some point I'm looking at rolling out some very low cost ethical hosting, but until then...

How did the tech industry get so powerful? It's simple. There are major media outlets that will simply copy paste anything they say
Netflix says more than 200 countries tuned into the "Beyoncé Bowl" and its two NFL games. We may just be starting to learn what that ultimately means for the future of television and sports media.
The 'Beyoncé Bowl' halftime show was a massive hit for Netflix. The football was too

I first logged into a BBS sometime in the mid 80s. It filled me with genuine excitement. Now, the Web is a junkyard. We're all sifting for the gems and often finding nothing. Bots, spam, AI, disinformation, profiteers... The Web now is a trash heap, and it's exhausting. I don't really care anymore.

You can get sent to jail for stealing toilet paper but if you hire a dozen children to work overnight shifts at your slaughter house your company pays a fine

The research says the GPT series is hitting a wall. Id expect OpenAI to enter a sharp decline in the next 6 months. Altman is a snake oil salesman but not the brain power behind OAI.
I’m more worried about what fresh hell Mira Murati will unleash when her non-compete agreement expires.
