@hyc reminds me of this, some kind of general principle of communication: what really matters is how your message gets interpreted on the receiver side.
A message you are sending may be super clever according to you, the sender, but if the intended receiver does not understand what it means, then your attempt at communication has failed.
Last night I dreamt I was at a protest. As I stood on the sidewalk I watched a crowd of people carrying signs, marching down the street chanting "2 or 5" then clapping 3 times. In the dream I almost figured out what the chant meant but I woke up before the thought formed fully.
Pro tip: protest chants should be self explanatory

Var har du hittat att det skulle vara en 17-åring?
Som jag förstått det har han nyss fyllt 16.

@gtbarry it's very sad.
They seem to hade decided that the basic principle that must be enforced is that "police must be able to access all data".
That is incompatible with human rights.
I'm afraid they will end up making software freedom illegal. Having control of your own computer will not be allowed, people will only be allowed to use big-tech-controlled devices and big tech must follow their rules.
(It's not going to work, people will encrypt things anyway.)

@meraord Så redigt trött på företag som envisas med de sakerna. Ge mig bara en clean funktioneranse mjukvara som inte tvingar på mig AI eller vill åt mitt data. Blä.
Nu ska jag bara vänja mig vid Libre Office, inte använt det jättemycket än, men det blir bra.
@meraord det har du rätt i! Förresten kanske det var det uttrycket betydde redan från början när jag tänker efter 🙂 @sopsack @svtnyheter
@sopsack @svtnyheter meh, betyder det här att man måste sluta använda uttrycket "en piss i havet"?

I'm no expert but here is how I imagine it.
> Where and how did they live?
Camping out in the woods, like Snusmumriken.
> What was the base of their everyday economy?
Hunting.
> How could they afford textiles, weapons and armour?
Mostly they kept using the same old worn things. Maybe once in a while they would trade something from their hunting, like an animal skin, for something they needed.
> Where did they stable their horses?
They were on foot.
@MattiP looks yummy! Who did the cooking?
@snowracer säga vad man vill om Jesus, men han var en jävel på att predika.
My latest piece for The Guardian:
A government that claims to take concerns over crime, safety and national security seriously, while ignoring violent far-right extremism, will struggle with its future credibility.
Sweden has a long tradition of refusing to face up to its racism – past and present. But racism could still decide the next election.
