As far as I can tell, they have not created any music. They have created a M&Ms commercial.

So the idea seems to be to focus entirely on the commercial side of the music industry and completely ignore the artistic side.

Right after I submitted my reply I noticed your 4 digit UID. Very impressive.

It doesn't look like they have. I just spent 3 minutes trying to hear some of the music from this band, or at least learn what kind of music it is. Literally the only thing I can find for free is an M&Ms commercial they made. Asking people to pay money to listen to a band they've never heard before is more than a little insane. But so are crypto nuts, so we'll see.

I was reading yesterday about how the vast majority of Americans believed that Jane Fonda, after having been given notes from American POWs in Vietnam, handed those notes to their North Vietnamese captors. It was never true, but pro-war Republicans wanted to discredit a leading anti-war celebrity- so they made up a bullshit story about her and repeated it often enough that everyone believed it.

This was before Fox News and before Ronald Reagan. Republicans have always been like that.

What you're calling "bigoted prejudice" is really just decent people judging you by the content of your character.

If they sell fewer they need to charge more per item to make the same amount of money overall.

for years. Apple, Microsoft, Google, all of them Have Issues. Smaller, more nimble, companies may be more easily contacted, but it often takes knowing someone who can bypass the various gatekeepers.

And not just in software. Several years ago I had a highly repeatable weird glitch while closing the top of my German convertible. Couldn't seem to get it fixed. Complained to Warren Brown (RIP) at the Washington Post during an online chat, and two days later I got a call from a regional engineering guy at the car company, and was in that weekend getting a switch replaced.

Windows gets upset if you mix codepages. I suspect Linux and Mac do, too. Sure, mixing US/GB codepages shouldn't cause much trouble. But mixing Hebrew and US causes all sorts of fun, since the text moves in different directions. And Chinese can move vertically in addition to horizontally. If you don't start each snippet of text with the byte order mark things can get weird.
