obligatory disclaimer that i am not a lawyer and this isn’t legal advice.

legal answer:
i think distributing a song in full on your blog is pretty unambiguously copyright infringement. i think having select snippets that you highlight and talk about would be fine though, as that would likely fall under using the work for critisism. the general rule for fair use is that your work should not replace or supersede the original (which uploading the song in full could). if you absolutely need the songs to be accessible in full, you would probably need to link to something like a streaming service. also be aware that things like album covers might be considered their own works under their own copyright, so reproducing that without critique could also constitue infringement.

practical answer:
i don’t think there are scrapers on the general internet looking for copyrighted content so if you’re sufficiently small and/or the artists are sufficiently lenient you’ll probably be fine, and at worst you’ll get a cease and desist and take down the tracks they complain about

your frontend of choice probably has some option to hide posts containing specific keywords

as far as i can tell this only accounts for games on steam, which means massive games like fortnite, valorant, league of legends and genshin impact are excluded. also for some reason apex legends is rated as silver on protondb despite very much not working on linux? so i guess at least one of the silvers in the top 10 chart should be downgraded to not working

afaik denmark isn’t just in favor, but they’re also responsible for pushing the legislation higher on the agenda after it was dropped last time.
i think it’s because the current ruling coalition consists of the “social democrat party” (actually just red flavored populist centerish party) in an alliance with the “moderate party” (centrist flavored center-right wing party) and the liberal (as in libertarianism) party (center-right/right/conservative party), so basically denmark has been under a quite conservative government lately, despite the PM selling the coalition as “across the center”

i think the argument here is more that saying “you can use this however you like, no questions asked” is a bad idea because it allows corporations to approriate the work

the problem is that you don’t need 20 people for this kind of thing. you can just kinda passively slurp the data up from every router and throw it into a machine learning model to be used by cops or sold to advertisers. you don’t need a human in the loop anywhere and it’s essentially impossible to opt out of

if you just care about listening to mp3s across all your devices then navidrome is a good choice imo. because it supports the subsonic api, there are a lot of good players for it like feishin for desktop and dsub for android and a built-in web player.

as for sharing music, soulseek is already pretty established for this. it basically allows you to search for and download music from anyone on the network (remember to share some yourself, it’s good manners).

the setup i use is basically a server (all these programs are pretty light, so you can probably run it on a spare laptop or even a raspberry pi) with:

• slskd as a constantly running soulseek client, allowing me to download music to my server through the built-in web interface
• beets, to automatically tag any music i download, based on information from musicbrainz. you can configure slskd to run commands when downloads finish, so i just run beets to import any new music
• navidrome as the server to actually serve all the music

the only real gripe i have with this setup is that while navidrome has support for multiple users, so i can easily allow friends to listen to my music collection, slskd doesn’t have that (yet, it’s planned), so if someone wants music added to the server they have to ask me to download it through slskd, which is a bit tedious. it works really well if you’re the only person using it though

my understanding is:

1. the emergency contact sends their public key to the owner of the vault
2. the owner encrypts the key for the vault using said public key and stores the result on bitwarden’s servers
3. the emergency contact can now request the decryption key from bitwarden, which they will receive either if the vault owner manually approves the request or if the request is not rejected within a certain amount of time
4. the emergency contact can then decrypt the stored vault key using their private key, and use that to access the vault

there is plenty of non-quantized instrumental music if you’re willing to look, and even then dismissing all music doesn’t forego a strict grid (which in the modern day is simply a choice and artist can choose to make) is dismissing a massive body of work just because it doesn’t use a technique that you like

this kind of comment just reminds me of how people used to complain about distortion on electric guitars when it was initially discovered/invented/popularized

WebGPU, WebHID and h.265 are all unsupported on firefox

that said, i still daily drive firefox with mostly no problems, but saying that it can do everything chrome can is just flat out wrong

this is by design mind you, chrome have a big enough market share that they can basically just add whatever they want to the web standards and all other browsers just have to try to keep up. i imagine that’s part of the reason that chromium skins are so widespread
