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.

A new proposal from the Swedish government is to stop welfare and other social help to those convicted of severe felonies. I’m not onboard with that idea. We’re not supposed to have the death penalty in Sweden and I don’t like the “once...
Being able to quickly write replies to email, real actual email, was very valuable. That was the core of what drew me to Delta Chat. There are plenty of proprietary email apps set up around that feature but in the free world, not so...
It’s a pet peeve of mine when people still call it Twitter (or variants like Xitter). The exact phrasing “Twitter (I refuse to call it X)” isn’t even a callout to a specific person since I’ve seen that exact text string multiple times by...
M säger ja till att släppa in SD i regeringen om Tidöpartierna vinner valet i höst. Okej, det stinker och jag är mot det så kan oppositionen samla sig please?! Ja, jag vet att det är väldigt otäcka typer i dom andra tre...
Bristande finansiering tvingar Uppsala universitet att skära ned på lärarledd undervisning och laborationstimmar. Enligt rektorn har de statliga anslagen till universitetet släpat efter i flera decennier, samtidigt som lokalhyrorna...
Probably the worst part of original GTD is having a list of calls. That just doesn’t parallelize nor serialize well since nowadays each call is a multi-hour affair if it’s a hold/wait system, or if it’s a “we’ll call you back sometime...
Prefixet “be-“ behövs egentligen inte på svenska, har jag hört. Så istället för bestraffa kan man säga straffa, istället för befria kan man säga fria, istället för benåda kan man säga nåda, istället för betjäna kan man säga tjäna osv...
In the Butlerian Jihad (from Dune but popularized by many smolnet posters like Alex Schroeder) we rightly hate bots and scrapers but I’m in a bit of a glass house around that, since I’ve made a few scrapers for my own personal use as a...
So me and my friends started a new D&D 5.1 campaign and it’s unusual for me to be running so much homebrew. I usually run modules. It’s strange to me because I feel so much more guilty when PCs die (so far two have died across three...
I actually think AI is fun and good. It’s just that if we don’t solve the problems it’s not worth it (if the problems will destroy us all). It’s like cars. I oppose cars but I actually love riding in the shotgun seat on the open road...
I use the word “exacerbate” way too much and unlike some of my other pet phrases (like “a li’l”, “on the cinder”, “the life-changing magic of”, and “probably better known as”) it’s starting to sound weird to me now. It’s too fancy and...
Last night as I was lying in bed I was thinking “wait, wasn’t there some book I was reading that I wanted to continue?” and that thought made me happy but then I became sad because I remembered that I already had finished it that...
Okay, this one was a disappointment. Not that bad but not good either. 3 out of 10. Having an ingenious timeline and a clever solution and an eccentric detective and a very video-gamey setup are all plusses in my book. The meta-stuff...
In my lefty ancom bubble I’m sometimes seeing anti-meal replacemeent rhetoric, but I’m not on board with that. Some brands have a low climate impact per calorie. It’s so much better and more empathetic than the usual “carnivore” trends...
There’s only a decade between Lord of the Rings and Dune but the latter is way more post-modern. Not that LotR isn’t pomo, because it is, but Dune takes it a couple of notches further. It’s so wild to me that this book came out in 1965,...
