This is amazing!

I wanted to Like and Comment on @Manuel's original post but, for some reason I don't understand, there is neither a Like button nor a Comment box for that post in my Stream.

Does anyone know why that might be?

I _think_ the question of acknowledgement/recognition (a.k.a. "like") and commentary may be due to permissions. Maybe 'manuel' has not accepted you as a 'connection'? Or the original post was published with these options disabled? The power of true content control...

Good music by the way. If you know of a decent jazz podcast and/or internet radio stream, would appreciate to know! :)

Thanks, rl@ourdiaspora.net. I was connected to manuel-jf@hub.zilla.tech but his recent posts are from manuel-jf@zotum.net and I didn't have a connection to him there. New connection request issued. Let's see if that solves my problem.

This article makes the case for sweeping policy changes in the EU because individual sacrifices will never be enough to tackle climate change.

I heard this morning that Keith Tippett has died. That's very sad news.

Here's Keith contributing to King Crimson's Bolero from their Lizard album.
