    "5 Jahre nach Ibiza - Wie Rechtspopulisten in Österreich innerhalb von 5 Jahren zurück zu alter Größe kamen und sogar die Wahl gewannen. (...) Wie schnell und wie weit eines der Vorbilder der EU Länder unter den richtigen Gegebenheiten und Einflüssen sich zum Paria wandeln kann sollte als ernstzunehmende Warnung auch in Deutschland verstanden werden. (...) Es ist Vorsicht geboten.Nicht nur in Österreich"

    Listening to this sweeping talk by @pluralistic I can't help but see parallels to the #HackerManifesto

    There's a glimpse at a different #DigitalWorld in addition to a thorough criticism of current trends.

    "A post-American Internet"? The talk shows that the #Internet and #Cyberspace are far from elusive, untouchable realms but instead are very real in terms of #Power. The digital world is very much shaped by the US which for years has unsettled other states and puts further strain on the #Multistakeholder approach, which in the words of Milton Mueller was enacted specifically to make sure, no one government would dictate the rules of the Internet.

    Really interesting is the observation, that we might be at a tipping point for #DigitalGovernance. A new coalition emerges thanks to #Trump, bringing together such different groups as Digital activists and national security hawks for #DigitalSovereignty

    The talk is a great illustration of the importance of #TechGeopolitics and picking up many themes I've also addressed in my newsletter like #TechDebt. Subscribe here: explore.ghost.org/p/nicolas-za

    Walg – V Review

    By GardensTale

    As I have mentioned before, I’m focusing primarily on contact form promos this year. But every now and then, I will make exceptions, mostly to cover bands I have seniority over. Fortuitous, then, that twice-listing meloblack mavericks Walg sent their fifth opus V in through our back door, allowing me to keep my streak and eat it too! I admit, I did grovel for the promo because I finally wanted to give the Dutch duo their dues with a real review, rather than relegating it to yet another TYMHM article. But my point stands, and so does my hype. Will Walg keep up its insane release-rate-to-quality ratio?

    That’s largely a yes, and I’ll get to the caveat later. If you’re new to the band, Walg is melodic black metal distilled to its purest form. Equally catchy and vicious, the studio-only pair has settled handily into a niche somewhere between modern …And Oceans, early Dimmu Borgir, and Old Man’s Child. They don’t break new ground, but are absolute experts at treading the old. Yorick Keijzer is a beast on vocals, his primary weapon a slavering snarl still chewing the meat from its last kill. But he flips just as easily to a hoarse howl straight from the DSBM handbook. Robert Koning adds the occasional ICS Vortex adjacent cleans, and also all of the instrumentation, which spans a fairly broad range of high-speed assaults, atmospheric folk intros and interludes, and intricate multi-part melodic movements.

    50-odd quality tracks in 5 years is hard to do without some sort of formula, and it has become easier to recognize the handful of structural stencils Walg employs. Usually, the band can dazzle hard enough to distract from that sense of familiarity, but the back half of V consistently fails to draw my attention away entirely from the man behind the curtain. “Zielsalleen”1 leans a little too much on the same hook and the decrease in pace of “Pijnlichaam”2 is not accompanied by as gripping a riff as it needs. These tracks are not even a little bit bad, by the way; most bands would kill to write something as powerful as the final minute of “Ego-Dood.”3 They are just a smidge harder to love without reservation when I’ve heard the same band do better with the same tools.

    But 4 tracks that are merely very good still leaves 5 that are every bit as strong as Walg has ever written. Opener “De Vlinder en de Dromer”4 takes all of 0.5 seconds to launch into an intense onslaught of ariose tremolos that reminds favorably of …And Oceans’ “Cosmic World Mother.” Follow-through uppercut “De Adem van het Einde”5 employs a riffing style that borrows from NWOBHM and speed metal for an exhilarating turn. And centerpiece “Daar Waar Stilte Spreekt”6 is downright addictive with its jaunty swinging rhythm that conjures imagery of ghost ships and haunted cliffs. There’s no fat on the compositions either. Walg may have a formula, but one of its most potent ingredients is a strict lack of bloat. Koning and Keijzer would rather end a track early than overstay its welcome, and the entirety of V runs a svelte 40 minutes. Combine that with the excellent, rich production and finely tuned mix, and you get some of the most replayable black metal in the scene.

    Infinite growth is impossible, and Walg’s meteoric rise had to slow down somewhere. But in this case, it means nothing more than a small step below the pinnacle that was IV. The front-loading of the album makes the flaws of V a tad more noticeable and makes me less hungry to spin it again the moment it’s over. But every time I do, I still get my head caved in and my neck snapped in twain, and with Walg’s production speed, that remains a colossal achievement. If you like melodic black, you owe it to yourself to give V a few spins, and I would hardly be surprised to see this wind up on a few Top 10 lists anyway.

    Dev Update 2 on my Shinobi: Commander X16 rewrite.

    I've moved to arcade fidelity graphics, which look absolutely awsome on the Commander X16!

    — The Instability of Meaning —

    * Next post in The Missing Step Series *

    Words seem solid.

    They give the impression of clarity.
    Definition.
    Precision.

    You say something, and it appears to mean something.

    But if you look closely, that meaning is not as stable as it seems...

    Is it just my experience, or are most Business Systems / Enterprise Apps teams (people who manage Salesforce, DocuSign, etc in a business) entirely consumed by Scrum consultant mgmt techniques? They're always the least agile or adaptable teams I work with.

    Sometimes I need them to tick a GUI box or generate an API key, and it literally takes 1-3 months to get it on their schedule. And 12 meetings on requirements.
