Det handlar om frihet, inte om fritt från kostnad. "Free as in freedom" brukar man säga på engelska, för att förklara att man inte menar gratis.

Frihet är inte gratis, har aldrig varit.

Hej @ErikHelmerson

Välkommen till Mastodon 🙂

@MeraOrd@mastodon.se

Varför vill du inte ha Greta på .se?

@stemid

@karin Underbart. att loopa genom filerna i bash!

Det borde skrivas in i kursplanen för grundskolan. Läsa, skriva, räkna, och loopa genom filerna i bash. Grunden varp åsamhället vilar. 🙂

@stemid

Jag tänker också på sed men får erkänna att ed som @karin kör med är ett snäpp mer old-school. Ett år äldre verkar det som. 🙂

@gretathunberg Hej Greta och välkommen till Mastodon och den fria programvarans underbara värld!

Nice to see Mastodon getting noticed!

I only wish they would write a bit more about the free/libre software aspect of it. The license for the Mastodon source code is #GNU AGPL. It's free as in freedom, and that makes it so much better for democratization of social media. It's not just an alternative to Twitter, it's fundamentally different because it's free/libre software.

@silverwizard I have one running on a VPS with 1 GB memory and a single cpu core, has worked fine for many meetings. Never had very many meeting participants though, never more than 15 I think.

@agx

Looks great, I want this kind of completion!

Is that (osk-stub) not Squeekboard but another keyboard implementation?

@metnix aaargh, you succeeded; I do feel worse now.

@MeraOrd@mastodon.se En viktig sak tror jag är att mastodon erbjuder en lösning på problemet med hur man kan decentralisera makten över modereringen. Det är ett enormt problem med twitter, som det här med mastodon/fediverse/ActivityPub faktiskt löser.

Tycker du att det ska finnas en centralmakt som bestämmer vad som får och inte får sägas? I så fall är väl twitter okej. Men om du ser ett problem med att det finns en sån centralmakt, då är mastodon bättre.

@prosaluxemburg Thanks for commenting.

Regarding current party leadership, the party leader Åkesson is usually more clever and careful about how he talks but the fact remains that he joined the party around a time when their official policy was that people they considered foreigners should be deported regardless of if they had Swedish citizenship. That apparently sounded good to him, so good that he wanted to join and represent such a party.

@neil

I would have needed the option "don't know / don't remember" here

Oh and one more thing: the "Liberal" party is part of the new government, so the "Liberal" party is now advancing Sweden's new authoritarian agenda, reducing civil liberties as desired by nationalists.

What does "liberal" even mean then, going forward? Words are losing their meaning.

#svpol

Sadly, the new direction away from civil liberties and towards authoritarianism was not in focus in election debates; big parties were again assuming that people in Sweden generally no longer care much about human rights.

So, Swedish politics is a complete shitshow.

There used to be near consensus in Sweden that freedom and human rights should be protected. No longer so.

Gah. If you can think of anything to make us feel better about any of this, please let me know.

8/8

Failure to understand or care about concepts of freedom and civil libirties

The organization Civil Rights Defenders has stated the obvious fact that the new government's plans are not in line with civil libirties, human rights and so on.

Hardly surprising given that the new government is leaning on the Sweden Democrats, a nationalist party with nazi roots, pretty clear that they want an authoritarian society.

Still, the obviously stupid idea of giving money to those who use most energy was supported by both sides in the debate before the election. Nobody even tried to argue what should have been obvious.

6/?

Stupidity, continued

Think about the signal this sends to those who were responsible and strived to reduce their energy usage, invested in more efficient heating systems and similar. They are punished, money is given to the most irresponsible people. People will conclude that there is no point in acting responsibly, just keep using electricity and the government will reward you.
