The service where they crowd sourced 2/3 of their catalogue from "sharecare" pirate bears?

Looking great! Good move the point the spider downwards. Things can get awkward in many cultures other wise.

edit: should have elaborated, sorry. Traditionally in many places, spiders crawling upwards is signaling heavy involvement in crime.

Very well summed up imho! Thanks for taking the time to do this, kind stranger!

political power has become the economical power's little bitch...

Both ingredients are valid, but i prefer mine with a zest of not letting that which i cannot control burden me, over a handful of IDGAF.

Great point! what is your suggestion?

My tinfoil cats are mewoing about a coordinated effort accros the IT sector to make one year with insane profit and the added side effect of lowering the wages accros the sector.

"It's free and always will be"

Just saw your edit, i'm fairly sure the depth of insight you'll get into our fetishes will depend on which subscription plan you can afford 😹

I don't think DDG is an alternative (basically bing in a trenchcoat), but your point is valid.

who's to say they don't do all of that as well? I have no idea. Do you? What i know for sure is that there's no media in picking up rubbish, though i agree there should be.

Either way, i set the title the way i did on purpose, to me it's not so much about the value of the action in itself, rather about the absurdity in calling what they did a "Category 1 harm to society". If you think they are childish, then i suppose the lesson here is that childish stuff is category 1 harm to society.

hahah! so then the user curbs, goes to social media to open an account, and bam:

Account creation aborted. Reason: Absence of discoverable social media trail

volumes, scales, metrics and calculus... what do they mean to unfathomable executive power?

thanks! :) that's how i understand it too, but "what was never there in the first place" can refer to so many different things in this context :D

surprised to see so many downvotes, the title seems like a fair assumption. Maybe naysayers just don't want mozilla blog links to be seen 🤷

Good point, thank you!

Seems like a great idea!

I'm somewhat surprised by the choice of XML, but why not?

This goal worries me a bit:

The format should be able to express the track and timeline structures of the exporting DAW as is, leaving it up to the importer to use this data and flatten it as needed.

Leaving things up to one side or the other seems like a hard way to reach any meaningful consensus. But I'm basing this on gut feelings from seeing i.e. how ActivityPub is only partially adopted by the different fediverse apps who tend to "leave it up to the importer to use the data and flatten it as needed". I have no experience in interoperable data-structures on my own, so there are probably 6372 reasons why i am wrong here.

My main hurdle with collaboration has never been DAW data, as lossless audio + midi will get my counterparts and myself a long way. The issue has always been platform interoperability of addons.

But over all, this is music to my ears! It seems like a sane path to better interoperability and that's exactly what i wish upon the (computer) world. 😅💜

No machines were harmed in the making of this meme (and no badass stickers either).

beautiful!
