I imagine the artist approved a (stereo) mix they heard on decent studio monitors and maybe stereo headphones too. I’m not sure how they’d feel about someone else then creating an atmos/spacial audio version without their involvement.

Wow, you can actually use iSH to install PHP, run `php -S localhost:8080` and view index.php or whatever in Safari. I had no idea this was possible on iOS. Thanks!

I work 31 hours over four days, which I guess is somewhere between part time and full time. For comparison, the standard, full-time working week here (Scotland) for private- and public-sector office-based jobs is 35 or 37.5 hours. (I choose

Been a fan of his work for a few years now. He let me use a couple of his pieces as album art. Seems like a cool guy and it’s great to see his continued success.

I've not yet tried Tailwind, but I've found the utility classes in Bootstrap to be really useful. Over the years I've encountered a good number of instances on larger sites using traditional/global CSS where a change to

I often write in a mixture of Scots and English, and spellcheckers are nae guid for that use case. The problem is solved, however, on iOS and Android thanks to SwiftKey[1]. [1] https://dsl.ac.uk/our-publications/scots-p

I use instant.page and it doesn't appear to work in Safari (at least in desktop version 13.1.2): I can't see any transfers in the Network tab on hover.
