I really need to get back to that mindset. I keep catching myself unconsciously checking my hobbies and abilities for marketability. I've been playing guitar for almost three decades, one of them spent in a touring metal band. When I started, I used to enjoy making music so much that I played and composed so often an album would just come together naturally. And then another one and another one, I just couldn't stop. These days, I no longer sit down to play just for myself and the moment — instead, I catch myself thinking, “Can I sell sample packs from this? Record a course? Should I code a VST plugin for it and sell that?” And after weeks of moments like this, all I have are three random riffs and frustration.

I try to look at my music as something that I do because I enjoy it. I play in a casual/amateur band and I regularly have to remind the guys that I do it for no other reason than because I enjoy it; I'm not interested in playing gigs. Not everyone sees it the same way.

I know a few musicians that tried to make a living out of music similar to your story. Most have now stopped making music and are both frustrated with the music industry, and angry at listeners for not valuing their work.

Which band, may I ask?

"The text disappears..." And my eyesight with it

Let's revisit this assessment in a few years.

we've been using discord for years, it's great. Its model for making money is different, its primary market is gamers. Servers are content for their users to consume and they charge the users directly.

I'm a Discord user myself, in private as well in job context. But we all have been here long enough to know that the only reliable constant is change.

Wow, that was stressful, good job!

It worked for me in Safari for a while, but then the entire browser stopped working.

It seems to try to check if you are using the Burp Suite on their web application.

Congratulations on launching your first product. Which stock markets does it cover? I wasn't able to look up BMW or adidas for example.

Scalability and ease of use are the scary factors here. The barriers to getting involved with geoguessing were certainly a threshold for some people with bad intentions. These have now been removed or are considerably lower.

Investigative journalism like the OSINT based researches conducted by bellingcat would be one example, as long as the AI results get doublechecked for accuracy.

They could get geoguessers to participate, I guess. No need to build a publically accessible model.

CIA carveout

I subscribed some days ago, but still can’t get the download to work, even in Safari as suggested.

I had an issue with the Download button not working the first time as well. The solution was to go back to AltStore homepage, click and go through the checkout process again, at some point it says you already are subscribed and instead of charging you again takes you to the download page, where this time the button works.

At least that's what happened for me, worth a try.

Thank you!!
