I started recommending (not reviewing) music on my otherwise unused .zip domain because algorithms can't be trusted to recommend anything that might actually be a little bit challenging.
They're not necessarily new albums, but they come from a human with opinions on music and I offer a very short explanation for each recommendation.
Here's today's recommendation: Alice Coltrane feat. Pharoah Sanders — Journey in Satchidananda: https://madsen.zip/recs/alice-coltrane---journey-in-satchidananda/

TL;DR af virksomhedernes svar på, hvorfor de benytter privatfly: "Som en ikke-tæppetissende virksomhed, arbejder vi hårdt på at pisse mindre på dit gulvtæppe. F.eks. pissede vi 60% mindre på dit gulvtæppe sidste år i forhold til året før."
Synes godt nok, at Rune Lykkeberg (chefredaktør på Information) og Henrik Gottlieb (sprog- og oversættelsesforsker ved KU) reducerer det danske sprog unødigt til kun leksikografi her: https://www.dr.dk/nyheder/indland/drukner-det-danske-ord-i-engelske-udtryk
Ud over mindre nuancer i betydning ("team" vs "hold" i arbejdssammenhæng), er der jo også stilistiske valg og sociale og/eller geografiske tilhørsforhold på spil, når folk vælger et ord fremfor et nogenlunde tilsvarende andet.
Sociolingvistik er jo sit helt eget felt indenfor sprogforskning — det kan jeg ikke forestille mig, at Henrik Gottlieb er ubekendt med — så det er sgu lidt tyndt og fattigt med udsagn som:
»Pludselig bliver et hold på bedste mellemleder-facon kaldt et "team", noget godt er "nice", og et sammenstød er pludselig et "clash".
- Der er en snobbeværdi, der gør, at man indfører smarte gloser for noget, man har i forvejen, siger Henrik Gottlieb.«
Kandis "udgiver et nummer" og Kendrick Lamar "dropper et track". Jeg forestiller mig ikke, at sprogbrugerne vælger "nice", fordi de ikke kender til ordet "godt" eller andre nær-synonymer. Det han kalder "snobbeværdi" er jo enten bedst at betragte som stilistiske valg eller ren sociolingvistik, og måske endda begge dele. At kalde det snobberi udviser en mangel på forståelse — eller respekt — for de aspekter af sprog og sprogbrug, der ligger udenfor ordbogsdefinitioner.
Folk tilpasser (oftest ubevidst) deres sprogbrug for at signalere, hvilken gruppe af sprogbrugere de tilhører. Det er ikke anderledes end, når en skribent i Information har haft godt gang i fremmedordbogen for at signalere, at det er Information man læser, ikke BT eller Billedbladet.

@Richard_Littler Amazing album. Flamenco Sketches is out of this world.
Also worth checking out is Kind of Bloop (https://kindofbloop.com/; seriously). It's an 8-bit tribute to Kind of Blue and more well-made than you'd immediately expect.
@EvilCartyen Basically the idea is that, since they can't rely on backdooring encryption, they instead hope to have everyone bundle spyware in their chat/email/SoMe app:
> The EU Centre shall make available technologies that providers of hosting services and providers of interpersonal communications services may acquire, install and operate, free of charge, where relevant subject to reasonable licensing conditions, to execute detection orders in accordance with Article 10(1). [Source: https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/HTML/?uri=CELEX:52022PC0209 Article 50(1)]
This spyware would operate on the client side after messages are decrypted rendering any and all encryption completely moot.
And, despite what others say, it would affect "providers of publicly available interpersonal communications services" (ctrl-f that in the source above, it's the first hit in a section numbered "(14)" but I don't know how to correctly reference it) regardless of how many users it has and if it's open source, libre, free (an in speech and/or as in beer) or not.
I don't know whether or not *you* would be violating EU law by using a non-spywared version of Mastodon, Matrix, etc., or if it'd be on whoever distributes it, but legislation such as this doesn't make sense if it's optional, so I figure it'll be one or the other.
As long as source code is available, we can always build our own stuff, but it'd be a hell of a dystopian future if it was illegal to do so.
