We're working to make a #Federated alternative to #Bandcamp where up and coming bands can connect with fans and share their music on the Fediverse.
The progress is really encouraging, so it's time to get some feedback from real #musicians
My goal is to have something you could actually use in the next month or two. So please get your ideas in so's I can squeeze them into my launch calendar.

Here's my dream. It's probably of the chart and i do not intend to write this as any form of expectation or judgement.
My ideal #fediverse#music services has #p2p streaming. This is to unburden my smol server from the unlikely yet secretly desired organic DDOS generated by that killer track everyone suddenly understood.
Of course, every #track is a post, with description, eventual lyrics and individual cover-art. Albums are individual posts too. They are basically digests with a bunch of tracks attached, linking to each track's independent post. They have an individual album art and description of what they represent or conceptualize.
This dream service would be entirely interoperable with #peertube. (Although i suspect this would require some sort of collaboration with peertube since i think audio only entities on peertube are in mp4 format.)
My dream service defaults to disregard the notion of me becoming some sort of recruiting agent for big tech record-distribution companies like Spatify, iFumes, etc... It can optionally be that for those who don't have the strength to stand up against the big-tech narrative, but primarily it would operate much like Faircamp does, by encouraging the audience to chip in directly on the spot with donation funnels on the site and donation links in the fedi-posts body.
My dream service leverages activitypub groups, in similar way that lemmy and peertube does. This is to allow artist with many different projects to create different "channels" representing the difference between their various ventures. This could also be used by labels to create different "channels" for different artists. Multiple users can curate one or several of these channels.
I might have more ideas coming after another cup of java. But this is my input for now. Take it as it is: a dream, by a derp. An enthusiastic and encouraging one though! What you do is great, regardless how close or far off my lil' dream it ends up being!
We know the importance of #biodiversity in our ecosystems. I think keeping some type of "topicdiversity" is equally relevant. But the AI bubble is threatening the presence of papers addressing other "old-fashioned" topics.
Oh look it works again, thought when it wanted to access #X anonymously it didn't work anymore. Apparently it now works again like on #Twitter and you can distribute its anonym here in the #Fediverse over a #Nitter instance. It's more convenient to avoid the data collection frenzy of this #web recording for your #privacy.
A route connecting #KualaLumpur and Bangkok will make it possible to link it to other regional #HSR lines to form larger networks that will reach Laos and China.
Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) Corp Sdn Bhd intends to leverage its non-fare revenue as a source of funding for the #maintenance and #upkeep of its #MRT#train system over the next six-to-seven years.
The percentage of non-fare revenue to the group’s total revenue was between 5% to 10%.
While fare money will be sufficient to sustain a train #station, a significantly bigger sum will be needed over an extended period of time to maintain the train and #track systems.
Another from the weekend. by late afternoon the mist was moving it, the cold was getting more biting and light was falling. I shot this, I had in my head this image in mono but, when i converted it and worked on it I realised that colour was better and better reflected the scene as i saw it. #snow#winter#bradford#yorkshire#westyorkshire#photo#photography#path#track
There was once 2,798 miles of fully #electric#interurban#track in #Ohio. That's more miles than than the current interstate highways in Ohio, and more miles than any other state had.
Not a single town with a population over 10,000 (and many even smaller towns) did not have an interurban line, and many were also served by traditional #rail.
The IP address is an important backup identifier to #track online user behavior. Any change in how browsers mitigate this #privacy risk is noteworthy.
#Mozilla is working on privacy improvements to (further) reduce the risk caused by the IP address as a stable tracking dentifier. "By processing the data jointly across two independent parties, th[e technologies] ensure neither party holds the information required to reveal sensitive information about someone."
I realize using a #kindle is, by itself, being tracked. But it really is the only way I read fiction books (I still like real books for technical/education topics)
Airplane mode is on my kindle 99% of the time. Only disabled to grab new books purchased.
With that said, I got this email from Amazon. I turned my Wifi on once, last week, to download a new book.
Be aware, #data is being captured even when you are not looking or really aware. First time I saw this.
The Rail Enforcement Division from Land Public Transport Agency (#APAD) carried out an #inspection of the LRT Kelana Jaya Line #track and corridor on 4 August 2023. The inspection, also joined by people from #RapidRail, inspected the track so that it is #safe for #train#operations.
This inspection series is to review the inspections that was carried out in July 2023, to ensure that the warnings issued had been rectified, so that the train can operate properly under the set safety standards.
get a load of this well-organised #figma file I got from my sister. is this common? any good articles about organising figma files? mine are just freestyled really (scruffy)
