Welcome to Scam Planet, how may we scam you today?
I've assembled a list of ways to give to community-led relief efforts in Lebanon, including those serving migrant workers. Particular paying attention to making international donations easy. This comes thanks to input from folks I know on the ground.
This is probably the easiest international giving route for Lebanon and displaced families -- recommended and verified now by multiple friends.

Or is Apple Music just uniquely bad at this? Can't wait for @subvert.fm to launch...
I follow the dub techno artist Fluxion. This appeared in my feed today. Track titles appear similar. Artwork out of character, as is the music (ostentatious pop-trance, possibly AI-generated). If music services don't enforce name differentiation, what protects an artist feed from AI pollution..?

Tough call between new Tremolo and device A/B, but probably the latter, workflow-wise... stem separation obv massive too, just not something I've needed to use much yet!
I tried to summarize the AI/music/IP law panel from this yearβs AMS/SMT conference for a more general audience. Thanks to Lauren Wilson for chairing such a great series of speakers.
