Tomorrow is Bandcamp friday people.
In case anyone isn't aware, this means that Bandcamp won't take their usual cut, so the artist gets more money from each sale. It's this Friday only.
Stealing this link from another comment, but there are actually more than one Bandcamp Fridays coming up

Isn't bandcamp on a road to enshit? I thought I heard they were. I love it though. Feels like a record store online.
All roads lead to enshitment
Except FOSS. Because if you can fork it, it cannot be enshittified… every time they attempt to, another fork can be made.
Sounds like an enshittification hydra.
It kinda is. One head enshittifies (coughOpenOffice), two more grow to take its place.
Doctorow is never wrong.
Well yes, probably. But, if you buy on Bandcamp or sites like it you can download the songs and host and store them yourself so it's not like you have to start over when they eventually get shit.
yay for corpo generosity?
