Enjoying this Christmas tree next to the library close to where I live.

I imagine how the person who put this up was thinking. "Okay let's see, what did they say the job was? Make sure it does not fall over... ok, concrete blocks in place, check. Decorate with lights, they did not say how much, one side should be enough... check. All done. let's go home!"

Good job, we need more of this attitude around Christmas. Less stress, more chill. 🙂

I can now proudly present this interesting interview with @nova who runs the #hachyderm instance which has around 30 000 users!

In the interview she tells ut how the work as an #admin looked like, how many volunteers are helping out and to learn a bit about her thoughts on #mastodon and technology.

Thank you so much Nova for your time to respond to my questions!

Så himla bra skrivet om integritet och frihet av @mattiasaxell och @eliasr från @dfri om debatten om #bankid

"Men det viktiga frihetsperspektivet saknas. Kinberg Batra tar inte upp frågan om digitala rättigheter. I dag är människors möjlighet att kommunicera utan att bli spårade och avlyssnade kraftigt inskränkt."

Someone asked me today about my plans for the Fall and it took me a moment to realize she meant my plans for the Autumn and not the collapse of civilization.

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.
