Sure, but:

* not every artist has a donation link. * I don't get the album for free otherwise

So I think it's totally ok for the service to give 10% to bandcamp (or whatever camp it will be in the future).

But I would be really happy when something like Faircamp takes off, and is easy for artists to use (or labels etc.), so they would be having more control, while providing a clean interface (unlike e.g. Qobuz)

Support for artists and flac as the other comment already said (as well as clean UX)

Yeah liquid dosing, pretty sure I did it right, got accurate dosed acid as well (which is rare AFAIK). But even if it wouldn't super accurate, it's much more likely to be less acid than more.

But I'm quite hypersensitive to substances in general I think, so my experience may not be representative.

Recreationally dosing in all kinds of settings and doses (e.g. microdosing in almost any setting on very different doses etc.). I have accurately tested LSD, so I know the exact dose I'm taking. Also I've done a bit of research of various scientific articles.

It's unfortunately not really legal though where I'm living.

AFAIK there are a few psychiatrists/researchers around the world where it's approved for clinical studies, where you could try it in a clinical setting. But unfortunately you're often still on your own with trying it. I tried microdosing it for treating ADHD, but I'm not really sure if it really helped there, and I'm back on the usual medications, YMMV though, as LSD has mild stimulant properties as well.

I may try a combination/mix of LSD and other ADHD medications in the near future though.

It being a neuroplasticity enhancer doesn't necessarily mean that it's enhancing in a good/healthy way. I noticed that my thoughts/imagination have gone a bit more "visual" (not sure if that's really the right term), I'm not sure if it really made me more creative. I think for me it mostly manifested my mind further and I'm a bit more in tune with nature etc. (much more conscious of all the "ecocrimes" humanity is doing).

This may not always be a good thing if e.g. you're prone to conspiracy theories. It can also mean that it's promoting growth in areas in the brain that shouldn't be connected (e.g. leading to psychosis), it's still a powerful substance which should be handled carefully.

But in general I think it still takes some time until this is a clinically approved substance. I think it will likely be for stuff like depression or PTSD or generally disorders originating mostly in the frontal lobe. I have certainly noticed the antidepressive properties of it (although I never had a real depression while taking it).

Are you sure you have really taken 100ug? The blotters these days are very often quite a bit less, although marketed as 100ug. 100ug should be enough for most for a good trip.

Nah definitely not, maybe you haven't had good/accurately dosed acid yet.

75 is the usual dose that is marketed as 100ug tabs (averagely roughly 80% of the marketed dose).

It's definitely noticable, even for unexperienced (I even recommend a lower dose to begin with).

Even 15/20ug is quite a bit, which I would sometimes consider a minidose (depending on the setting).

I detect even down to 5-7ug LSD that I'm dosed (though I'm quite experienced with all kinds of dosages).

75ug is definitely tripping-level. No way someone couldn't detect that they are dosed, just the contrast/visual-enhancing qualities alone should be enough to detect that, maybe even some LSD-typical distortions can occur at that dose...

Where I'd consider a (good) CTO should be somehow responsible for the high-level architectural decisions. Accumulate enough expertise and know-how (via "architects" or rather very senior engineers) and then discuss the pros/cons and at the end weigh each argument and decide what may work best.

Huh? They never said that, just warned that the THC/CBD ratio is important to avoid schizophrenia or other psychiatric conditions (which is scientifically backed btw.)

Why C++ though, when there's Rust? I understand that rewriting/refactoring projects from C++ to Rust may not be a good idea (in most cases at least). But starting a new project (or porting from a different language) in C++ doesn't make sense to me nowadays (unless pretty much any potential dependency of that project is written in difficult-to-wrap-in-Rust C++)

Especially if you're coming from Swift anyways (which is more closer to Rust than C++).
