I think everyone should have access to their own garden or allotment. Allotments have an added social side which is great.

This has made Rupert Lowe look very silly.

If you're struggling with your windows plugins I highly recommend checking out kxstudio for native Linux ones. There are excellent plugins for audio production on linux. I also recommend using Ardour as your DAW.

Thanks :) I'm happy to chat to any musicians who read this and are curious about alternative release options.

These exploitation economies are a race to the bottom.

That's exactly what they are and exactly what they do.

I don't have any app suggestions for you but have been reading through the comments and just wanted to say that I'm 100% with you.

I have a similar conversation with other musicians I know and it's the reason that I (and many others) won't release anything on Spotify: Just being there adds value to them and what they do is destructive and dirty.

I hope you find something and keep standing up for what's right!

The Labour government is not left, so who is the supposed rift with?

In fact, from what I can tell, all the talk is about cooperation with the Greens, independents, unions and community groups. Bringing the left together.

I haven't heard any of this 'splitting the left' talk from leftwing backbenchers - only from Labour leadership goons and the right - which I think tells you everything you need to know about the message.

Over the next few years we're going to have to be better than we were in 2019 at seeing this kind of FUD for what it is or we'll get Farage as the next prime minister.

And we won't get another chance to do something about it until 2034.

Jami ftw 💪

News like this accelerates loss of faith in our failed political and economic orthodoxy, so in a way I'm glad to see it.

It's time now for a new and genuine progressive movement to come together and take the fight to Reform. I've signed up to the new Sultana/Corbyn/independent party but I would also recommend supporting a Green party under Zack Polanski, independent candidates who want to collaborate, and grassroots community projects.

Others analysis may differ but mine is that 'the left' is starting to pull together and we should get behind it.

Your timing is excellent: Debian 13 is due for release on Saturday :)

Good one, especially for hikers and sailors 👍
