Albert Wenger of Union Square Ventures asks: How then is journalism to be financed? As I wrote in 2014, I continue to believe that crowdfunding is the answer. Since then great progress has been made by Beaconreader, Kickstarter’s Journalism category, and also Patreon. Together the amounts are still small
I am angry that this is necessary or even possible in a civilized society. People should have the framework they need to get on their feet.
@kylewmahan I think it's a good starter language. You don't need lots of supporting software, and you can make just about anything with it.
@davidhornik I've been given advice to do that before. I think it's basically fraud.
@srobalino "Denouncing evil is a far cry from doing good". I really think petitions are useless. Actions (or payments) are better.
@kteare Congrats!
@cstanhope I sincerely don't think this is something the w3c can invent. Standardize later, sure, but we need real products first.
@timmmmyboy @electricarchaeo We don't have that ability right now but we've heard the request loud and clear.

@andigalpern Cool! Do you still play / perform?
