#introduction #introductions Hi, how are you?
I'm a #musician & occasional #writer. A #freesoftware, #privacy, civil & digital rights advocate, #anticapitalist, pro-#feminist.
I make #ambient, #psychedelic, #electronic & generally #weird #music. I used to collaborate with musicians such as Daevid Allen & Gilli Smyth of Gong & writers such as Michael Moorcock. Interesting times. Nowadays I'm a semi-hermit living with my partner & son in an old farmhouse next to a world-heritage rainforest.
#inklewriter is a #freetool designed to allow anyone to write and publish #interactive stories . It’s perfect for writers who want to try out interactivity, but also for teachers and students looking to mix computer skills and creative writing.

# What is NFT and why is it being used for art?
## Digital images are being sold for thousands of dollars, but critics point to the harm it does to the environment
Grimes, Beeple, Logan Paul, the creator of Nyan Cat, and many other artists and celebrities are making huge amounts of money selling the ownership of digital images.
Chris Torres, the artist who first created Nyan Cat, recently ‘minted’ a new GIF of the famous internet meme which sold for over $470,000 worth of the Ethereum cryptocurrency in February 2020.
Grimes sold 10 images of digital artwork, the most expensive for nearly $400,000, to someone who wanted ownership of the online goods.
These artworks are called NFTs, or “non-fungible tokens”, and they exist on a similar blockchain technology to bitcoin as a way to prove “ownership” of them.

Difficulty lies not in new ideas, but giving up the old ones.

If you are on a Linux machine
And want to send some file to a pal also on a Linux machine,
If you're are not in a LAN
And don't know how to create an ad-hoc connection,
If you don't have an USB stick
Or the stick is full with non-erasable files,
"Yours is the Earth and everything that’s in it,
And—which is more—" you can use magic-wormhole, my son!
(pseudo-poem based on Rudyard kipling's poem If)
