Today is my birthday and the release on my album on audiotape and VHS!
"Objectivity" is an audiovisual critical study of the western industrial paradigm that sees nature as something that can be analyzed, tamed and counted.
Side A is a deep drone trip through analogous soundscapes. Side B is a versatile compilation, from a post-punk song "Predmet" to a musique concrete opus Holo Electron using a weird French machine from 1960s that is supposed to heal all your pain using electromagnetic waves. "Proctor" is a drone walk through the northern sea using analogous wooden synthesizers made by a friend of mine from Karelia. "Dissolution of Hierarchy" is a drone hymn to equity of all sounds.
The album can be purchased as a hard copy or downloaded for free or for a donation here:

Following popular request, here is a proper announcement about editing and deletion of messages available in app stores now. It briefly highlights how Delta Chat actually works contrary to how even some experts thinks it works :)
TL;DR Delta Chat is not a classic e-mail client. It uses special messages to co-ordinate encryption, metadata and group interactions and now edit/delete. Delta Chat implements a Peer-to-Peer messaging paradigm without any server state.

1/2 "Ideme ďalej: v koalícii je nateraz poriadok. Zároveň však ďalej nejdeme: Slovensko neurobilo krok dopredu už viac ako desaťročie.
Namiesto toho je zaseknuté v nejakej obludnej časovej slučke, v ktorej tí istí ľudia majú stále tie isté škandály a vysvetľujú ich stále rovnako a so stále rovnakým výsledkom. Intelektuálne je to výživné asi ako nosenie dreva do lesa, aj písanie receptu na zemiakovú kašu je zaujímavejšie."

We are concerned about about the US being able to switch off or spy on our cloud instances.
But what about payment infrastructure? All payment card companies we use are US based (visa, mastercard, amex). In some European countries like Denmark they have their own system alongside (Dankort). The Dutch sold off all their own card issuers providers long time ago.
epicompany.eu/ is supposed to provide an alternative but haven't seen any updates on that in a while.
EPI is a payment scheme, built by European payment industry leaders, to create Wero, a unified pan-European payment solution leveraging SCT Inst.@51north/project-template-nuxt3

And yes, I have a few crawlers running here to find interesting apps to add. While IzzyOnDroid gained some popularity meanwhile, not all developers are aware of it and know they can request inclusion. Thanks to FOSS licenses giving us the 4 freedoms – and thanks to you applying such a FOSS license
