@objectivecosta Stockholms stad offered an "intensive studies in Swedish" program specifically for software engineers a year ago.

It offers an interesting program connecting entrepreneurs to advisors. foretagsservice.stockholm/star

If I try to sign in, it just says, “Sorry, you don't live in Stockholms stad.”

Stockholms stad (city) has so many wonderful programs inaccessible to Stockholms län (county) residents.

Being on the Nacka side of a bridge to Södermalm excludes me from startup and language programs I would like to participate in.

In January of 2023 will you publish at least 3 posts to your blog or RSS feed? If so join Bring Back Blogging, an experiment to encourage blogging by listing the bloggers who participate and allowing readers to discover new content.

So far over 130 bloggers joined, including yours truly. I blog regularly, so it was a no brainer.

@seldo Same. The only way I sometimes remember is "strINg" because for…in iterates over object strINg properties.

@trev Thanks! Yes, the tab preferences has a list of recently tossed tabs. The tossed tabs stay in the tossed list for the duration of an extra toss, so they have to get tossed twice.

Too many browser tabs?

Let go of what you’ve already forgotten and never prioritized. If it was actually important, you would have taken action.

Tab Tosser can help.

@e_urq Years ago, I noticed a similar edit history of the Swedish Democrats page on Wikipedia. Several people were trying to remove the party’s origin as a Neo-Nazi party in Sweden.

Why don’t year-end summaries about the economy mention this year’s record high corporate profits, unprecedented levels of corporate concentration, highest-ever CEO pay, or record levels of corporate political contributions in a midterm election?

So Southwest Airlines cancelled the flight of passengers that were waiting at the gate, and then called the police on them to threaten them with arrest for "trespassing." Southwest claimed that the passengers were trespassing because they had gone through the security checkpoint, but didn't have a valid ticket. They didn't have a valid ticket, because Southwest had just cancelled it🤡

In the USA, calling the police on someone, especially a Black person, is a violent act.

@isaacs I do miss retweets with comment, yes. I suspect we will have to move to better fediverse server software to get that feature at this point.

Tweeting in the fediverse is so much nicer than tweeting on Twitter.

For example, I can share links to tweets and not have to lop off the `s=21&t=QanonBS-6pHNzRJrIUkixw` at the end of the URLs.

The "Clear" system -- in which airports and the feds make life worse for everyone but those who spend to enrich a monopoly company -- describes so much of America these days.

It's disgusting, but somehow normal. slate.com/business/2022/12/cle

And if you want to join me in paying Climeworks to verifiably remove CO₂ from the air, use my referral link:

climeworks.com/invitation/4Bk1

€30/month pays for only a fraction of my CO₂ emissions, but it is something. I am doing my part to create demand in the market for carbon removal.

We need to get the cost of removing CO₂ from the air to be less than the cost of producing it in the first place. This can come from scale. Many individuals can create the scale necessary for this.
