All files are decrypted locally on your device before they leave. Those encrypted file can be stored on any CDN, currently, they’re stored on ours. In the future, you’ll be able to use your own CDN as well.
As a buyer, once you complete your payment, you receive that encrypted files, which can then be decrypted using your personal decryption key. That also happens on device.
Other streaming services never send you the real files, playback always happens through their servers,
We do the opposite: you get the actual FLAC files, stored and streamed locally from your own device. Eliminating high bandwidth cost.

Spam is a fundamentally difficult problem for everyone in this space, but I believe the Web of Trust will play a huge role in solving it. It’s transparent, open, & most importantly, built by you.
Your degrees of connection will determine what content you see on the upcoming content page.
Content will be ranked & displayed based on that trust network, also helping us personalize your feed in the future, without relying on opaque, black-box algorithms.

Nostr-based, Lightning-powered marketplace for digital content, where creators & buyers truly own what they sell and purchase.
Install it as a PWA, we’ve got some really exciting things coming soon: Fanfares.io
It features Prism (split payments) & a referral system that rewards mutual support, with major improvements coming soon.
Next update introduces lossless FLAC streaming for music, matching, if not surpassing, Tidal’s quality.
& it all works offline, powered by FFmpeg packaged directly into the PWA, which runs locally.

In the last few days, it has gone through a series of updates, including database-related ones. This issue might be due to improper versioning of our database. Next year, not only will that be fixed, but even if the database fails and you click on a track, it should still stream on the fly.

Try clearing your database/cache. If you’d like help with that, just let me know. If that doesn’t fix it, and you’re okay with it, please share your console log. All of these bugs should be fixed in the next update.

Popular game Borderlands 2 is free on Steam right now.
But it’s basically spyware now. It asks for root access, which means full access to your passwords, internet logs, all private data.
Lots of games collect data, but not all go this deep.
Also, the new EULA bans virtualization, even VPNs. It’s wild.

Thanks a lot. Also, I gotta say, I don’t think you were totally wrong.
just to be clear, I don’t believe the terrorist attack was directly backed by Western governments, but it really does feel like they’re trying to pressure India through Pakistan. Otherwise, none of this makes much sense.
Plus, I think Pakistan’s response genuinely caught India off guard. India probably thought they’d strike a few targets & that would be it. But Pakistan came back swinging, & it was intense. And IMF just approved them a $1B loan today.
We clearly don’t have the full picture.

Trump tweeted early this morning that he broke the India-Pakistan ceasefire deal, but it kinda looked broken already. It does feel a bit calmer than yesterday though.
Last night was insane, both sides were hitting major air bases in each other’s capitals. Not just drones, but actual jets flying in and bombing stuff.
Right now, it’s way quieter. Way less intense.

Cashu is seriously impressive. If you’re building anything Lightning-related, definitely consider using Cashu. It’s super versatile & really easy to work with.
Minting and melting are literally just two simple API calls each, that’s it. You can even send payments directly to Nostr public keys, nutstash.app already supports that & NWC with budget limits.

It always felt too clunky, if I remember right, it even had those old iPhone 3 style icons and some missing core features. It’s way better now, though still a bit raw & clunky.
Today, I gave it a proper try and read the manual too. I managed to finish all my personal work, & honestly, it covers most of what you’d need as a casual user.
What it really needs is just some polish & a more thought-out interface. Feels like it could have Blender-level potential, imo.

If you already know your way around, you can basically do all the core things you’d do in Photoshop, way more than people expect.
But it’s not just that GIMP is different from Photoshop, it’s also not the most optimal design. I get why they chose this layout back then, probably to avoid an Adobe lawsuit, which was a real risk. But now, with so many apps openly copying Photoshop, GIMP should really give us better "layout & more" options.
We definitely can’t wait another 20 years for that update. GIMP is seriously needed, especially with adobe holding users hostage over subscription cancellations.

2025-04-14 16:55:51 UTC

Why is there no real competition for Adobe? GIMP?
GIMP is way more capable than you’d expect. But the UI, honestly, one of the worst, & it’s been like that forever.
They pushed some major updates recently, like non-destructive editing & proper layering, & much more, some pretty fundamental stuff, a genuine milestones. But the UX barely changed.
It’s a perfect example of how bad design ruining great open-source software.
