I would like the feeling to be "wow, now I Just learned how to use an if-statement! And I can nest them! Wow, I can do so much with this!"

Having said that, I will look closer at Scratch and Snap and similar. Admittedly, I don't know them and it's very possible that I was above just arguing against them to avoid having to learn something new myself. 🙂

Thanks for all the suggestions!

Scratch and Snap are interesting but there is something making me skeptical to things with lots of graphics. Very possible that this is just me being old-fashioned but my feeling is anyway that, I fear that too much "wow, cool colourful explosions on my screen, I want more of that!" risks taking focus from the programming itself.

I mean, programming is not actually about graphics.

Suppose that a child, about 10 years old, is about to start playing around with programming. Which language would be good to start with? Please explain why in comments.

Which film has this scene?

One person talks in front of a crowd, calling out to them:

- "We are all different!"

Everyone in the crowd hums like they all agree, except one guy in the back who shouts:

- "I'm not!"

DFRI-projektet om fri och öppen e-legitimation har två träffar på gång, 10 nov i Sthlm och 17 nov i Gbg,

- Nu ikväll i Sthlm, på Molly Malone’s vid Odenplan. Från klockan 17:00.

- Tors 17 nov i Gbg, på Haket vid Masthugget. Från klockan 17:00.

Båda tillfällena från klockan 17 alltså, men det går bra att droppa in senare för den som har svårt att komma så tidigt.

@Vysotskij är det denna Vysotskij du menar i namnet?

Många bra låtar, Vargjakten och Ingen mans land är ett par av mina favoriter.

Hej @ErikHelmerson

Välkommen till Mastodon 🙂

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.
