@mmmelk Haven't been on Twitter much this year, I have a stack of sources in my old-school RSS reader, and follow a few rabbit holes. Three good sources are @MargRev @SixthTone @genmon

@jebgavin @lauriewired It's a very interesting area psychologically - is passing your digital file through a piece of kit thousands of miles away more satisfying that passing it through a locally-running digital emulation of that piece of kit?
