Did you know that flash lights help against the darkness?
And also (yes, here comes THAT again)…

RADIO IRRTUM! ?

↓↓↓ German version far below the English one ↓↓↓

Yes, the upcoming issue of
#RadioIrrtum! will be aired right in the dark this Saturday, 2024/11/23, 8:00pm UTC+1/Berlin time. At Alex Berlin FM at 91MHz or DAB+ K7D around #Berlin and worldwide at
https://www.alex-berlin.de/radio-livestream . Can you believe it?

#Radio Irrtum! is a German language #radioShow exploring the sonic vastness of the #underground. Emitted transmissions may raise your attention for new unheard #music all over the genre spectrum all over the planet. Also it's totally fine to ignore that German language aspect - 'cuz it's all about the #music!

This time things are slightly more ear pleasing with…

- almost Schlager-alike
#popMusic
-
#FolkPop from #Chile
- Oldskuhl
#DrumAndBass from Belarus
- dark
#Bass
-
#DnB melting into #IDM
- pure olkskuhlish IDM from
#Leipzig
-
#experimental #SoundArt
- music accomplishing
#illegal #PsychicDuelling (maybe #psychedelicAcid?)
-
#feministPunk
-
#EBM of Today but styled like coming from the early 80s (yes, a contradiction, because, no, thankfully it isn't standard EBM)
-
#french #Chansons from Berlin and
- quiet
#pianoMusic

There are at least 3
#CreativeCommons licensed tracks included, 'cuz the traditional music industry sucks (the artists life blood they suck) – sometimes combined with great musicians from the Fediverse like @weuoimi@tldr.nettime.org, @REEL@ravenation.club or @stephan@sonomu.club . Some tracks you'll about to hear aren't released yet (like from the upcoming #SchallUndStille album) or cannot be found ANYWHERE else at the moment!

If at least a bit interested in kewl unusual
#music, tune in! 📻

I'll post playlist + manuscript later here (provided I’m home, else it will come up the day after). And if you have questions? I'll gladly answer! Just ask!
CU all on Saturday! :)

Bis zur Sendung… vielleicht? :)

I did a four-page short comic for Le Lombard (Belgian publisher), it was a contribution to a big book project in French, featuring 24 other comic artists; an "advent calendar" book for Christmas. And yes, you have to cut the page every day in December to reveal a new story. I negotiated to have mine published on CC-By and made it using only FLOSS :linux: :krita: :inkscape: .

Today's mildly infuriating internet thing:

The official NASA #APOD API does not return a credit line/license for most images that are actually copyrighted or shared under an attribution license.
Even worse, the documentation states that images that don't return a copyright field are under public domain, which is almost never the true!

I hope NASA will fix this soon:
github.com/nasa/apod-api/issue

As stated in the title, the APOD API response is missing the copyright field for many images that are copyrighted or are licensed under a creative commons license. Example for todays APOD which is ...
