When you’re uploading to Bandcamp, please consider us small radio folk who can’t afford to buy full albums for every track on a two hour show. That’s on average at least 20 albums at approx £8 = £160 per month. Having the ability to buy single tracks is mega appreciated.
Just 10 years after Black Mirror premiered. Do I have doubts about people will re-enact each episode over time? Not after this article. Grim stuff. https://t.co/sEnd9lFmXw
Doge-coin founder delivers informed blockchain-based cryptocurrency bashing in this 10-tweet thread.

"Trust is essential to security. You need to trust the hardware, the OS, the software etc. If one of those is untrustworthy, the whole system is insecure. It’s the same reason blockchain-based currencies are so insecure, even if the cryptography is sound." https://t.co/BnDcZhZiGw
W3C announced on June 17th that Web Audio API is now an official standard, bringing music and audio creation and manipulation to the Web. @firt do you recognise this could help in regards to new development re: background audio on iOS? https://t.co/7Wohyll7ne
Digital publishers getting the 🖕 from Apple on PWAs:
🚫 no installation banner - onboarding
🚫 no icon from manifest - identification
🚫 no web push - relationship
🚫 no background sync - ux
🚫 no background audio - playlists & podcasts
While taking a 30% cut in the App Store.
Exactly! Because it is a simple thing to communicate and most of all easy to implement technically. Once a PWA publishing ecosystem with these features rises the 30% digital tax will be seen as the blockroad for small businesses that it is.
It's deliberate. Look at these small minds living in fear they might can't tax 30% of digital music anymore.
Think different? That was 24 years ago. Now: Think greed.
