So, I've imported ~25Gb of music from the Free Music Archive on https://open.audio using this method.

It worked beautifully, and it's now available for the whole #Funkwhale federation. Follow this library from your Funkwhale instance and you'll have access to it:

You can also visit https://open.audio/library/ directly to listen to all this new content! (you don't need an account ;)

Driving through town today, stopped at a traffic light and a FREAKING HUGE HARRIER HAWK swooped down and landed on top of a building. I was on my way to the nature reserve to meet friends for walking so I had my good camera on me :D

20 Stolpersteine (which are brass blocks embedded in the street pavement, each of them commemorating a victim of the Holocaust) were stolen in Rome last night.

As far as I know, no one from the government has condemned the crime so far – which makes the whole thing even more sickening.

The Atlantic: "Start-Ups Aren't Cool Anymore".

Start-ups were never "cool". They were just get-rich-quick kind of schemes.

Some people (mostly founders, friends and families of said founders) could get rich. Sometimes very moderately.

The vast majority of employees of a start-up would be left as burned-up overworked zombies, with zero vested stock options, or stock options so low as to be worthless.
