REAL art made by REAL people is more valuable and luxurious feeling than ever before. <br/><br/>When we&#39;re prisoners to an internet ran by tech billionaires shoving generative slop down our throat 24/7, the work of artists is more special than ever. #art #NoAI #FuckAI 2026-07-16T19:39:16Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqs2uwdcex4ky6u3xgmfewhwecjn7glr4fdl0ujhvt5ajf66a0nwh6szyplgsyz0tzhv6lc9rlkqp8f8rc30fg3qjajpxcmxmwn3mhdaq4t3uucsvfw Anyone know of any #trans vocal tutors that teach online?

After switching to #Qobuz , I&#39;ve kinda stopped using it all together. On Spotify, I used to use its &#34;radio&#34; feature on my playlists. In the old days, I&#39;d discover a fair bit of music through that. More recently not though.<br/><br/>But Desktop Qobuz has no such features, so it has me stuck in my playlists. How do I branch out?

City planners and architects dictate how accessible the physical world is, just like developers influence the #accessibility of the internet.<br/><br/>The cruel irony is, a lot of us #disabled folk flock to the internet, as it can be more accessible than irl... Only to be met with the exclusionary architects we sought to avoid.<br/><br/>Learning the guidelines isn&#39;t that hard.

But damn, Im determined to implement them into everything I do now, Including the #FOSS project I&#39;m working on.<br/><br/>I spoke with a maintainer about adding an accessibility feature to their project.
