Interesting read in the Guardian: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2023/nov/10/swedens-schools-minister-declares-free-school-system-failure
Swedish schools minister Lotta Edholm is quoted as saying this:
"It’s not just a problem that it is a number of schools, but it becomes a system failure of everything."
It's true, and the sad thing is that it has been obvious all along. The Swedish school system has been a way for companies to make easy profits (cut school costs, increase profits) with money from taxpayers.
"A system failure of everything." Yup. For 30 years.
Just updated my profile here with a little more description and a link to my web page, and on the web page I added a link to here with the rel="me" attribute so that page should show up as verified here.
So you should now see, on my profile here, a "My web page" link marked as verified. Is it working?
Does this book exist?
"How Universities Lost the Internet"
or has someone done research on this topic? That is, the fact that on many North American universities have ceded all technical capacity to Microsoft, Google, etc?
It used to be students could get web hosting, email, and even some cool experimental online stuff through their schools. Now every online communication channel is locked down.
Just nu frågas Ylva Johansson ut av EU-parlamentet om kontroversiella #ChatControl. Om förslaget går genom kan all digital kommunikation övervakas.

You can now watch a replay of today’s EDPS Chat Control 2.0 seminar. It’s a must-watch for everyone who is considering backing the proposal. The experts make it glaringly obvious how insane, ineffective, and unethical the proposal is.
