Some weird sound came from the forest behind my house ten minutes ago. A single, loud noise that sounded like shot. Something rougher than a BB gun I can tell you.
Ble nettopp utestengt fra en nettside for bruk av adblokker. Enda godt jeg har VPN og kan hoppe videre til en ny ip uten problemer
I miss Tokyo and Kamakura
3/3 In my opinion, high quality document, image, audio and video capture devices are among the best investments anyone can make. Everyone loves a high quality recording 10, 30 or 60 years later, because it's a window into the past. I sometimes record rather benign things because they say something about the mood or the zeitgeist. I also archive said recordings and keep multiple copies of them.
2/3 The lesson is to document things, even ordinary things, because they change while you aren't looking, and it's hard to remember what it really was like before. There are photos of my parents from the 1980s where are wearing huge plastic frame glasses, and you forgot just how huge and hideous they were, because it didn't seem out of the ordinary at the time. You can only see the present clearly when it has become the past.
Sometimes, the ephemeral nature of the electronic world we live in hits home in disturbing ways. The store branch I bought my old glasses from had shut down once it was time to buy new ones. I could no longer find it online. All trace of it had disappeared. Had I wanted to prove that it once existed, I would've been unable to. There's no old copy of the Yellow Pages to check in 2018, and businesses don't give out cards to customers anymore. Documentation is even more important now than before.
It's getting closer and closer to sunrise outside, so maybe it's time for me to put away my phone and get some sleep
Draft: Why we must oppose the new EU copyright directive

Adding some sanity in lay terms to the unfolding #efail drama:
Seems to me the real villain here is html mail. I'd be fine with burning it to the ground and keeping the crypto.
Trump has basically killed any hope Palestinians had about a two-state solution. Israel has been stringing everyone along for 70 years now, pretending that peace was just around the corner, while quietly and calmly gobbling up Palestine in an attempt to shrink it to nothing. Israel doesn't want a two-state solution. Israel carries the bigger stick. A two-state solution is thus impossible.
Every time I see a GDPR email, I read “we take privacy and security seriously. But not seriously enough to have done this without being forced to, in order to keep making money.”
There is much talk of the intellectual dark web, but not as much talk of the intellectual grey web, a sprawling blog empire entirely and solely authored by mastodon user sargoth
Hey, fediverse! Listen up. You'll like this, I promise.
Yesterday I was on Norwegian national radio, talking about how the "monopoly" of Facebook over the public discourse is dangerous and that politicians need to step in.
My sollution? Enforce federation!
That way the free market of social networks can work and the network effect will no longer be a "social DRM" locking people in.

Gmail enters the "extend" phase of Embrace, Extend, Extinguish by creating new proprietary features for email then forcing non-gmail users the view the mail through a link with Google Login (and sometimes SMS confirmation!)
