Idiomdrottning
Sandra
Idiomdrottning demonstrates a new and often cleaner way to solve most systems problems. The system as a whole is likely to feel tantalizingly familiar to culture users but at the same time quite foreign.

Jag använder Delta Chat med min egen mejlserver och kopplat till min vanliga mejladdress så jag kan också “chatta” med vilken mejladdress som helst på hela jorden utan att behöva försöka övertala dom att installera samma chatapp som mig; dom använder bara sin vanliga mejlapp. Mejl från myndigheter, föräldrar, randos...
As y’all know I’ve hacked a lamp switch to start and stop music so I can do it screenlessly but the other day I added a new feature: “stop after playing the current song completely”. Instead of abruptly pausing. It’s so calming compared to a jarring end. One would think subtle things like that wouldn’t matter. So...
Like a bridge over troubled water —Simon & Garfunkel Yay, a novel written in the first person! Yeah, yeah, present tense which isn’t wholly my jam but compared to the limited third person that’s been every single book for the past hundred years this is a every welcome breath of fresh air. I’ve read a couple of...
I wish I could’ve seen it when you blew up your television —Baxter So this review is going to be very spoilery so please just go read the book; start with other Gibson books (like Burning Chrome, which is referenced and spoiled here in Count Zero) before this one, though, unless you really want to jump in the deep...
I live by the ocean and during the night — Björk Let’s sail all the way out to the sea to a tiny speck of an island where we can explicate and externalize and incarnate our hitherto unspoken grawing worries and fears, Liminalize the subliminal, break on through to the other side, scratch and breach the subdermal in...
I will watch the last sunrise —The Handsome Family, “If the world should end in fire” So The Drought, from 1965. I loved The Crystal World and I love how different this is. Crystal World came after but is absolutely no retread. Ballard grows as an author in my appreciation for creating two masterpieces that are so...
It often strikes me as so wild, the fact that I’m typing this in a curses UI in 2025. I see this less as a vindication of the durability of the textual software stack (although it is) and more as a failure of the stack as the whole. [I hate laptops][Ihl] but Linux on the laptop and desktop was in a great place. I...
Gerrymandering is a fancy word for redrawing the voting districts in your favor. In “area control” board games (games where you win a region by having the most representation there, and you win the game by winning most regions) the tension is usually to not overcommit where you are already winning and to recognize...
I’m not so sure this nyctograph is that good of an idea. Problem number one is remember which cells you’ve already written in; problem number two is to remember which pages you’ve already written on. I do a lot of my writing in shorthand which works fine in the dark except for that second problem, how to turn to an...
Virtue signaling is great actually. Clearly communicating our values can prevent a lot of grief and help stand up for what’s right. Early on before I started writing more explicitly about politics I got a couple of “I love your blog but why don’t you write more about the supremacy of the Aryan Race?” and I’m like oh...
