@pthane @praest76 @Walrus I expect the problem with smugness to be most concentrated among Linux users. After all, Apple users have little reason to be smug since they are owned just as much as Windows users, it's just that they are owned by Apple instead of Microsoft. There is no significant difference between them.

About the #CrowdStrike thing:

"the company is “deeply sorry for impact that we’ve caused to customers”"
[...]
"Kurtz said there had been a “negative interaction” between the update and Microsoft’s operating system"
[...]

I wonder if it might turn out to be possible to come up with some joke where someone explains they are “deeply sorry" for the "negative interaction between ________ and ________".

@karlemilnikka this points to the platform being in the last stage of enshittification 🙂

I feel the same. Same thing also with the word "content". If I write something, like an article or whatever, I did not "produce" anything, and certainly not "content". Even this little mastodon comment here, silly as it may be, is not "content". It's something I've written where I (a human!) expressed some thoughts.

@dln tack för bra tips!

Vi har inte tittat på det - förrän nu :-) - men det verkar intressant. Dock verkar de inte ha tänkt sig ID för individer utan mer för system, men det spelar inte så stor roll kanske.

Det vi tänkt är ju lite att med t.ex. mTLS kan man använda samma etablerade teknik (TLS) som redan identifierar webbsidor, till att identifiera en person, så får man en e-legitimation som blir mycket trevligare än de stängda eleg-lösningar som används i Sverige idag. https://www.dfri.se/projekt/e-legitimation/

@fsfe nice!

@hyc

> 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 🙂
