Any menders out there have an idea for how to fix this belt? It's bonded lacing which is like low grade leather glued together? Maybe some plastic in there? Wondering if some heat would secure it in there idk what I'm talking about

Philip Glass has withdrawn his upcoming symphony premiere from the Kennedy Center.

PhilipGlass After thoughtful consideration, I have decided to withdraw my Symphony No. 15 "Lincoln" from the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts. Symphony No. 15 is a portrait of Abraham Lincoln, and the values of the Kennedy Center today are in direct conflict with the message of the Symphony. Therefore, I feel an obligation to withdraw this Symphony premiere from the Kennedy Center under its current leadership. Philip Glass

“There are some people (specifically in the micro.blog circles of the IndieWeb, to which Baldur alluded) who defend the ways in which Manu and others talk about these sorts of things who themselves in the past have, for example, ridiculed the idea of expressing your pronouns, wanted to continue to be fans of Elon Musk just for the space stuff, and who don’t think Trump, Miller, ICE/CBP, et cetera are nazis. These are the sorts of folks who tout things like articles in The Atlantic or Harper’s decrying ‘cancel culture’, a thing that both does not exist and is their scare-word for holding people to account for punching down.”

About a month ago I started a side project: a cross-platform, opinionated replacement for iTunes that matches how I actually manage local music.

It strips out the cruft, streamlines metadata handling, and works seamlessly across Linux and Windows (macOS should work too—untested for now).

It’s still under active development, but the core vision is there. Very few settings, very strong opinions. Open source soon—probably not for everyone, but exactly what I wanted.

The original proof-of-concept UI for an local audio player / library. Yep, it's that classic spreadsheet vibe from iTunes.
The latest view of the same audio player, albeit themed for dark mode (Catppuccin).
An import dialog used to match incoming files to existing tracks (i.e. multiple versions in different formats; FLAC, MP3).
Edit track info; metadata is managed per track and replicated across files.

@swf are these the tenants in which you are building your version of the new social web?

Are you not terrified of your complicity due to your partnership with Meta?

Isn't now the time to give back the money to Mark Zuckerberg, kick out the Meta employees from the W3C standards group, and renounce Meta?

You are an unelected, ungoverned org that intends to build the world's next gen communication tools. And this is who you work with?
