The truth that haunts the Ramones: ’They sold more T-shirts than records’

On April 23, 1976, the Ramones’ first, self‑titled album was released. It was recorded over seven days on the eighth floor of New York’s Radio City Music Hall and cost $6,400 at the time — an almost laughably small amount compared with the big budgets common in the record industry then.

Chest Fridge

Using vertical doors in refrigeration devices is an act against the Nature of Cold Air. Understanding and cooperating with Nature rather than acting against it leads to much better efficiency.

Why craft-lovers are losing their craft

Before LLM coding assistants arrived, the split between developers was invisible: Craft-lovers and make-it-go people sat next to each other, shipped the same products, looked indistinguishable.

Do Not Turn Child Protection into Internet Access Control

Age verification is no longer a narrow mechanism for a few adult websites. Across Europe, the USA, the UK, Australia, and elsewhere, it is expanding into social media, messaging, gaming, search, and other mainstream services. The real question is no longer whether age checks will spread. It is what kind of internet they are turning […]
