Apple products are of good quality and generally works well, simply works (the combo of hw+os+sw included). But it is difficult when you want to modify any of them or understand how they work. And now all my hw from Apple are outdated, ie cannot use latest os releases. I am not saying competing os support hw for longer period - when linux is not counted, of course.

Is ”fika” the first word and activity foreigners learn about Swedes and Sweden?

By recommendation here at Mastodon, I watched the interview with Jens Stoltenberg, the Nato-boss. Interview is done in Norweigan, at NRK (Norsk Rikskringkasting). Although I do not speak Norweigan, I understand to 95% with my Swedish ears and brain. It's so nice our languages are so close to each other. Danish is also close, but Icelandic more far away (but closer to origin). Nordic! Interview at the beginning of the show: tv.nrk.no/serie/lindmo/2022/MU

Undrar hur en fotbollsmatch skulle se ut om det också var stilpoäng under matchen och inte bara mål som räknades. Alltså lite som backhoppning; hopplängd i kombination med genomförandet.

The cloud is someone's server/computer. Often owned and run by someone else. Which works as long as it works. Of course, my own manage cloud/storage can also break. Anyway, here is a fresh story by @dsearls about a cloud owned by someone else. blogs.harvard.edu/doc/2022/12/

I wish I could reach the correct audience to suggest to that, if you are going to work full time remote, especially for a mostly remote company for the first time, it is absolutely crucial that you learn how people communicate and actively participate in it. Not just how work information is disseminated. Join your “random” and hobby Teams or Slack channels. Meet people not on your direct team. Join a social group if your company sponsors one you find interesting. It indeed takes effort as an introvert - but while working remote you are not building relationships organically like in an office, at all. Those work relationships are important to getting stuff done in business, emotionally feeling part of a team and mission, and staying mentally healthy. We spend a big chunk of our lives working!

Over the last 5 years of working and managing a team FT remote, this social interactivity is one of the top indicators I’ve observed of whether someone will succeed and be balanced and happy, long term - or whether they will burn out and be left behind. The people who often vanish the fastest never chatted except when prompted to do so for business, never turned their camera on, nor set a profile image.

I’m not telling you to step way outside your comfort zone. I’m not saying there aren’t situations where it’s necessary to turn off the camera. I’m not saying you’ll automatically fail if you never socialize. I’m just giving you some advice based on hard life lessons of watching people thrive versus be unhappy.

Apple has finally killed its ill-conceived plan to scan photos for CSAM. This is a direct result of work by experts and activists. Speaking up is important and sometimes we win.

Det finns de som tystnar när opinionsvindarna blåser åt fel håll - och de som höjer sina röster. De som bryr sig om demokratin och hur människor med ett ursprung i andra länder mår bör höja sina röster! I vissa situationer går det inte att vara neutral!!
