Also recently felt a need to leave Twitter and search for an alternative. I initially began using mastodon.social, and have now moved to my own instance https://mastodon.zone as I wanted to setup something in a closer geo location, join if you're around SE Asia!

https://github.com/http4s/http4s Is a a good example of a HTTP Framework in Scala providing idiomatic FP interfaces

There is also t which is a CLI app written in Ruby: https://github.com/sferik/t.

The Good Samaritans law, which is enacted in varying forms across Europe and North America seems to be making it's way into Chinese provinces, Shenzhen being the first this year.

Reaper also has the excellent discounted license for $60 which covers a lot of musicians who would otherwise be forced by the singular license of Reason / Logic Pro / Ableton Live.

As mentioned in the article, the music is well worth checking out for this documentary (http://zoeblade.bandcamp.com/album/8-bit-generation). Lets hope a completed film gets released.

The first word of your post needs another vowel :)

The argument against the Desktop app seems unfounded, the author states: "I don’t usually like playlists and I’m the kind of guy who enjoys listening to whole albums, front to back". I'm of the same opinion, but when finding a new album to listen to I simply dray this into a new playlist and they become one and the same. This would also negate the argument against the mobile app as well.

My heart bleeds...

Looking at the "Closer to what today’s typical studio looks like" picture, it appears this setup is sans speakers, and I don't think the two Apple Macs compensate for this...
