It's #FairtradeMusicFriday! Here's a new submission thread for February.

As always, submit your own release or someone else's, it can be by #FediMusicians or not, hosted on #Bandcamp, #Faircamp, #JamCoop, #Mirlo or #SelfHosted, as long as it is by an #IndieArtist - it doesn't even need to be new.

Just make a direct public comment (with a link & description) to this post and it will appear at https://isitfairtrademusicfri.day automagically!

Buying or boosting will make an artist's day 💙

Call for testing for a script that installs on a desktop or laptop. Testing is aimed at users who already know FreeBSD, for example who can configure /etc/rc.conf and /boot/loader.conf.
I’m especially interested in feedback from people with NVIDIA GPUs, since I don’t have this hardware myself.

CFT GitHub: github.com/alfonsosiciliano/kd
CFT GitLab: gitlab.com/alfix/kde-installer
Discussion to figure out which packages to install and which configurations to use for GPUs (for example x11/nvidia-xconfig, linux_enable="YES", and so on): lists.freebsd.org/archives/fre

Desk setup with a large monitor and a laptop running FreeBSD with KDE Plasma. The main screen shows KDE system information and a terminal, while the laptop displays the FreeBSD website.

「×」ボタンをタップしても消えない――「UI偽装広告」が壊すデジタル社会の常識(2026/2/5 ITmedia)
https://www.itmedia.co.jp/news/articles/2602/04/news050.html

こういう悪質広告の横行、そして広告プラットフォームや広告を掲載する者がその状況を看過しているという状況であれば広告ブロックが広がるのは当たり前なのだが、一方で広告業界はこれに対して「広告ブロックの解除を迫る」という方法で対抗しているというのが本当にね…

そして、メディア業界はこれに対して「広告に依存しないビジネスモデル」の確立が求められているのだけど、一方でそれはペイウォールを容認することになって自由な情報アクセスとしては阻害になる側面もある。

スマホ法でブラウザ選ばせるやつ、Chrome以外は無作為に選ばれてランダムに並べられるはずだからFirefoxが出てこずBlinkのみになるのはかなり高い確率な気がする

Some notes about the 2026 Calgary Convention. :

1. The ex-MP pointed to me: "You're abnormal", and he pointed to my left: "You're abnormal", then "And he's abnormal", and "I'm abnormal." We are all people who enjoy sitting around over lunch and discussing relations with the PRC.

Imagine that you have a niche interest, F1, let's say. Every morning, you check the news about F1, you listen to podcasts about it, you read essays about it. (cont'd)

On the one hand I'm very tired. The state of the world around us is truly terrible and nobody can ignore it. But on the other hand I'm not giving up. The struggle will be long but we must never give up hope. We'll make this world a better place, this society a better society and ultimately ourselves better human beings.

Listen: the best way to understand 'AI' is to think of it as the average of everything it has ever ingested.

Ask 'AI' to make a painting in the style of Van Gogh? Presto! It generates a nice picture averaging all of Van Gogh output!

It looks good, but not because that image generator is a genius, but because Van Gogh WAS a genius.

Now the question becomes; would you like to be remembered as just 'average' or as a genius like Van Gogh?

Replace picture by text or music and you understand AI.

Die nächsten PRÜF Demos sind ja diesen Monat am 14.02 - Valentinstag. ❤️ Mein Demoschild wird dieses mal thematisch passend.

Prüft doch mal bei @pruef_dePRÜF ob auch in eurer Landeshauptstadt eine Demo steigt.

PS: Wer sich die Grafik ziehen will: Hier habt ihr die PDFs zum Drucken. Viel Spaß damit!

speicher.mal-richtig.de/s/c3fs

@pruef_hhPRÜF Hamburg @pruef_byPRÜF! Bayern @pruef_nrwPRÜF NRW

Weißer Hintergrund mit schwarzer Aufschrift: "Willst du mit mir PRÜFEN?" 
Dabei ist das Wort "Prüfen" im Stil des Logos der PRÜF Demonstrationen gehalten.

Darunter drei Ankreuz-Kästchen: Klar! Ja! Sicher!

Rechts unten in der Ecke ein Emoji mit bettelndem Gesichtsausdruck. Unter dem Emoji Gesicht sind zwei Hand Emojis abgebildet (ausgestreckter Zeigefinger). Die beiden Finger zeigen jeweils auf die andere Hand.

Edit: nevermind, somebody found it!

This is a long shot but does anybody know anybody who worked on the Calgary feminist radio show "Yeah, what she said" that used to air on 90.9FM CJSW?

I was interviewed on it for Escher Girls in 2014 (though the episode wasn't posted online as a podcast until 2015) but the site no longer exists except on the internet Archive and the mp3s weren't backed up afaict.

web.archive.org/web/2015060105

Does anybody know anybody who used to run the show that might have the episode backed up? Or if any of my fans actually backed it up when it was live. (I might have, I have to check but I don't think I did ): )

Feel free to boost on other platforms.
