When did Amazon break the ability to just buy MP3s? They seem to have now somehow wrapped it up with Amazon Music streaming, and if the stream doesn't work, you can't get to the menu to buy the MP3? I'm guessing the stream doesn't work because I don't have EME in my browser?
@lauraklein Reminds me of Derrick Bell's story "The Racial Preference Licensing Act".

One great way to help out at FOSSY is to sign up for volunteering: https://nextcloud.sfconservancy.org/apps/forms/s/GF8gkmQfSFdyHoaNPiTWeCCx
One 3 hour shift is all it takes to get a ticket to all 4 days of incredible talks and community building opportunities!

@jxself Probably, their work is very taxing.
In the US, you can only apply online for an EIN for your small business M-F between the hours of 7am and 10pm Eastern. The IRS turns the form off at 10pm.

As one of the signers of the Franklin Street Statement, I strongly support people using Free and Open Source Software for their social networking.

@drascus There have been times in the past where I've had to run it a number of times to get it to work. This time it worked on the first try though. I'm using ITD built from the latest commit in git.
Updated #PineTime to InfiniTime 1.13 (https://github.com/InfiniTimeOrg/InfiniTime/releases) using ITD. Looking forward to the improved battery life. #Pine64
Something I'm seeing: People so concerned about keeping a c3 from prioritizing other social causes over its actual mission that *they* are the ones prioritizing other social causes (fighting against the aforementioned social cause) over the actual mission.

Just found myself writing code that involves the term `absolute_relative_position`. I probably definitely need to rename this.
