nah

except in sundsvall

i’m trying out Aeon at the moment. it’s from the opensuse people.

it auto-updates, it snapshots itself so any failed update will just silently revert, and it does flatpaks or distrobox only.

if you’re okay with gnome, try it.

what a weird headline.

as a rule, we never use cash. i’ve been carrying around 500 kronor in notes for years, and i can’t get any use for them because people would rather take swish than deal with the hassle of cash. even in a blackout or network failure at the supermarket cash would be no use because they all use digital cash registers than ingest the bills and spit out change automatically.

the thing we are being told by our government is “don’t put all your eggs in one basket”. we are being recommended to keep two payment cards from different issuers, as well as cash. this is all for redundancy, not because something has broken.

i always refer people to this documentary.

at least the swish system is set up as a collaboration between banks. it’s not its own entity. assuming most of the others work this way too, since transferring between banks takes so long.

the difference is that telegram is a chat application rather than a public space. i’ve been on telegram for 10 years at this point and i’ve never gotten so much as an invite from people i don’t know. the owner is iffy so my friend group is trying to migrate away but none of us have ever seen the things telegram is famous for. i’m not even sure i know how to get shit like that to show up. on twitter it’s in your face as soon on you log in.

women have systematically been forced out of tech through the years. programmers used to be majority female.

they are equal size, but they’re coming towards you down a steep slope

gen y just seems like it was an ad agency invention.

a norwegian.

Solid should have a bigger role in this article than just a mention. it’s literally the standard, it was the standard before atproto, and they just chose to build something else.

i’ve always took dissociation to mean a form of involuntary perspective shift where you no longer identify as yourself and you stop seeing meaning in the things around you, just looking at shapes. sort of a disconnect from the real world.

…what

innnnn the country ooooooooof?

idk about that last part actually. some of the stuff we can do for the climate we just aren’t doing.

also we could just hire a few hitmen

putting a Spartan in there is a low blow.

i’ve lived in places with midnight sun. that’s gotta be a no from me.
