The photos from the 1939 New York World’s Fair showed so much optimism about the future, even on the cusp of the Second World War. https://rarehistoricalphotos.com/1939-new-york-world-fair/
I enjoyed “Inside Bill’s Brain” on Netflix. I hope the ideas Bill Gates has pursued post-Microsoft become commonplace. https://www.netflix.com/title/80184771
Apple threw a temper tantrum over its store design being rejected repeatedly by Stockholm city, so the closest store is an hour away. https://www.thelocal.se/20190212/apple-furious-after-stockholm-rejects-plan-for-flagship-store-kungstradgarden
Do you help run a federated or decentralised service in Europe -- or know someone who does? Please pass this link on. It's the application to meet politicians to discuss how the EU's copyright filters (Article 13/17) will be implemented. I worry about a backroom deal struck between Facebook/Google that excludes the next generation of open Net services: https://ec.europa.eu/digital-single-market/en/news/organisation-stakeholder-dialogue-application-article-17-directive-copyright-digital-single .. Please speak up!
The only pragmatic option for any hopeful contender challenging the Android—iOS duopoly is to bet on the Web.
You might say, “I don’t need official apps. Those services have public APIs and I can build a Linux client.” Except for Twitter, I haven’t used a third-party app better than the official app. And many companies—like Fitbit—explicitly prohibit recreation of primary experiences.
I love what Purism is doing with its Librem phone, but I do not believe native Linux apps are a viable strategy. If Microsoft could not convince major app makers to support Windows Phone with its incredible UWP developer experience, I do not have hope for native Linux apps.
The Hamilton Instrumentals album is an excellent way to enjoy Hamilton while having to write words or code. https://songwhip.com/album/original-broadway-cast-of-hamilton/the-hamilton-instrumentals
I work in tech, fight for digital rights and the environment, kiss dudes, cycle, lift heavy things, and don’t eat animals. Swedish immigrant, US American emigrant. Occasionally shirtless.
