> more code is written in the world than should be

Yes, in terms of the amount of code, this is true.

But what is needed, I think, is not to reduce the effort that goes into writing code, but rather to shift the focus from adding new things to improving and simplifying existing things. We need simplicity. We should focus our efforts on making things simpler (and thereby better) instead of adding complexity.

@MoeBritannica more and more icons, eating their way further and further to the right. When they reach all the way to the right edge of the screen, you're dead.

@samuel jag är inte säker på vad transaktionell innebär här och vad det spelar för roll men jag tänker ändå passa på att rekommendera Fripost 🙂

@echo_pbreyer I'm ashamed to see my country (Sweden) in red there. 😠

@TCatInReality @samlitzinger I think Marina Hyde makes some good points here: https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/article/2024/jul/09/joe-biden-instruction-manuals-beat-trump

@TCatInReality I think the reason they don't call on Trump to step down is that it's meaningless, everybody knows that Trump will not listen. Calling on him to do that would risk creating the impression that it's up to him to decide what happens. I think it's good that they instead call on the R party to reject him, and on voters to not vote for him.

If someone puts a turd on their plate and prepares to eat it, it makes little sense to call on the turd to get off the plate.

@iam_jfnklstrm jag blir nyfiken på proportionerna mellan knark och tejp där, alltså var det 1 kilo knark och 4 kilo tejp eller vad? Och hur påverkar det åtalet, är det en separat åtalspunkt för tejp-brott?

> several reports now
> claiming that LinkedIn stopped
> penalising external links in 2020

I don't know the answer to that, just want to say that in my opinion the bigger problem with LinkedIn is that it's a private company's platform that seems to have succeeded in creating the impression that "you have to be there". That alone is enough reason to boycott it. LinkedIn may or may not be abusing that position at the moment, the bigger problem is that they can abuse it anytime they wish.

@OpenSciTwente @oscu @oscmaastricht @oscgroningen the following have been useful for me:

- GNU/Linux operating system
- LaTeX for preparing articles
- Octave for making graphs
- Dia for making diagrams
- emacs text editor
- gcc for compiling programs

I think it would be good to raise awareness of the fact that any proprietary software used in a research process is bad for reproducibility, so should be avoided. It should be possible to reproduce your research using free (as in freedom) tools.
