> WAV files in 24-/32-bit resolution downloaded via Bandcamp may not load instantly and require quick supplementary treatment. Simply opening the respective file with the freeware Audacity and then shutting down the application without any further action resolves the issue.

wtf, whats the issue? And why does Audacity (apparently) modify files without asking?

> First off, I’d suggest printing out a copy of the GNU coding standards, and NOT read it. Burn them, it’s a great symbolic gesture.

They also just couldn't care.

I used it exclusively for about a year (iirc) on Linux and had only some minor crashes. When they switched to Chromium I switched to Firefox and never had a single crash since. (It's not only luck, I disable all the feature-creep I know of in about:config)

We actually do this at my company. Our user base is mostly security focused and browses with javascript disabled so we had to find another way to make reading a simple text with some pictures thrown in terribly slow for them. We like it so much that we are currently developing a server runtime for it called node.css. We are also working on a meta package manager based on this runtime so we can manage our dependencies on different package managers more easily.
