Högern hävdar ofta att de står upp för yttrandefriheten – åtminstone tills de själva får chansen att tysta meningsmotståndare. I sociala medier ser vi ett återkommande mönster: det som kallas “censur” när det drabbar dem förvandlas snabbt till nolltolerans mot oliktänkande i deras egna forum. Den här texten handlar i grunden om bildandet av Socialdemokrater 2.0 och hur hyckleriet i den gamla…

Warning! This is techy mumbo jumbo linux-howto-article! To get a translation of this text, hide the swedish version and click on the english version. Svensk Version Det enda som verkligen tycks betyda något i barnens liv, bortsett från de gånger de faktiskt uppskattar att träffa vänner och gå ut, är internet. Därför har jag under lång tid använt internet som ett tydligt styrmedel: sköter man…

Not long ago, Udio effectively took the “fine, we’ll license it” route: it reached a strategic agreement with Universal Music Group around a new licensed AI music platform planned for 2026. That came after the 2024 lawsuits became the main backdrop for the entire AI-music sector. In other words: this space is not moving toward “no regulation”. It is moving toward “pay for access, pay for rights,…

I’ve been struggling with transcription issues for quite some time, for a variety of reasons. Examples: I need a text transcribed to be pasted into Suno, that only exists as a m4a-file (i.e. music, that sometimes has hardcoded subtitles that has to be manually transcribed). Etc. I first found a Samsung app that could handle transcription, but it quickly became clear that it was limited to its…

This track was created as a response to fear-driven narratives surrounding social democracy, particularly how certain political ideas are framed through anxiety, exaggeration, and symbolic threat rather than concrete policy discussion. Magdalena refers to the chair of the Swedish Social Democratic Party. In Swedish political discourse, she has become a frequent target of hostility that often…

Every now and then, especially in groups where “AI-generated music” is the hot topic, I encounter a parade of self-declared “AI creators” who seem absolutely convinced they understand how AI, DAWs, plugins, audio engines and production workflows operate. Spoiler: they don’t. Not even close. The latest example – my personal favorite – came from an exchange with a couple of AI-wannabe musicians…

The musical side of FWSC was probably never planned, structured or even meant to become a “project”. It was very much about learning applications. The name grew naturally out of the same world as FreeWare Data and FreeWare Data/2 (FidoNet 2:200/213) – late nights at the computer, curiosity, and the feeling that anything you made was worth saving just because it existed. The BBS era was chaotic,…

The year was 2023 March 2023 became one of the hardest crashes of my online life. My main Facebook account was hijacked through a malware-infected Chrome extension, renamed to “Lily Collins” and permanently shut down. The attackers attempted to burn almost 50,000 SEK on ads, two-factor authentication did nothing, and every attempt to reach support led nowhere. Twenty years of posts, contacts and…

SoundCloud has posted a new “SoundCloud Monetization Terms of Service” for both On-Platform Monetization and Off-Platform Distribution. The terms page shows “Last Updated: October 31, 2025”. SoundCloud’s notice to artists says the update will take effect on November 24, 2025. (SoundCloud) Headline changes Distribution service fee removed. Off-Platform Distribution now pays 100% of Net Revenues…

On Friday, 7 November 2025, several new tracks drop – and “Planet B” takes the spotlight. This is a latin tech house journey. A tribute to the ones who dare to keep pushing when optimism feels fragile. Planet B represents those who hold the line and refuse to give up. The title nods to our shared reality – “There is no Planet B” – and the music honors the ones who fight to keep our world…

It’s not often that I step outside my comfort zone in the House and Drum & Bass genres, but I felt it was finally time to experiment, now that Suno – as they claim – has achieved near-perfect sound quality. So I asked Suno to create a song with a clear connection to Gaza and Palestine. Music from the Middle East and southern latitudes has always been close to my heart, which is why Latin Tech…

Låten “Magdalena” ingår i musikserien “Ballader För Det Bruna Sverige” och kommer ligga på volym 2. Serien är en musikalisk satir över svensk politik, där flera tidigare låtar fungerat som rena roasts av högerregeringen. Ursprungligen var idén att volym 2 skulle bli en slags “woke-version” av första volymen – en ironisk vändning där flera högerpolitiker plötsligt vaknade upp, insåg sin egen…

Spotify has recently admitted to removing over 75 million spammy, AI-generated tracks in the past year. This information is being circulated by both legitimate and half-dis-informative sources – but most explanations are vague. Many people panic, thinking their own shitty produced tracks are under threat. Unfortunately – they are not. In reality, the purge is aimed at large-scale spam and fraud,…

No! Unfortunately, we didn’t have the honor of being at the Tug of War World Championship this year either – otherwise, I probably would have been the photographer there too… or not. After all, it’s a worldwide competition, and it doesn’t really work the same way as it does here at home. At national competitions in Sweden, it usually works out to get permission to go onto the field, especially…

Tornevall now offers a Spotify integration service that makes it easy to both link to playlists with clean, shareable URLs and export them into structured formats. I’ve been missing this myself for a long time now, and sometimes it is easier to share embedded urls at Facebook than through the open-spotify-url, as thumbnails and marketing sometimes fails in that format. So here they are… 1.…

The World Championship in Nottingham, England, became for us a remote experience. Thanks to good friends on-site, and the material generously shared by Tug of War Memorie, we could still feel the pulse of the competition. One moment etched itself in particular: the Swiss supporters, whose mighty cowbells transformed the stands into a rhythmic instrument. Although we were prevented from…
