When people travel to the past, they worry about radically changing the present by doing something small.
Few people think that they can radically change the future by doing something small in the present.
This is the only real time travel paradox.

End of year annual donations renewed for organizations fighting for tech that liberates instead of oppresses us.
Electronic Frontier Foundation / https://www.eff.org/

Internet Security Research Group / Let’s Encrypt https://letsencrypt.org/

I hope all of these organizations join the fediverse by the end of 2023.
I published 3 /now page updates in 2022.
April: https://www.jeremiahlee.com/now/2022-04-18/
July: https://www.jeremiahlee.com/now/2022-07-18/
A year from now, I hope…
• for the pandemic to be over—for real, not the “collectively pretend it’s over” mode society currently is in
• to operate a “ramen profitable” business of my own
• to have gained at least 5 kg muscle
• to have had my mental healthcare needs met
• to have finished my home remodel
2022 Lows
1. COVID-19 catching me and Arthur
2. Employer drama (toxic environments, layoff)
3. Slow pace of attaining mental healthcare in Sverige (ongoing)
2022 Highs
1. Becoming a citizen of Sverige 🇸🇪
2. Thanksgiving visit from my in-laws
3. Norge 🇳🇴 vacation
4. APIDays Paris conference
5. Leaving Stripe
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.

Elon Musk Becomes First Person Ever to Lose $200 Billion https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2022-12-30/elon-musk-becomes-first-person-ever-to-lose-200-billion
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.

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.
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. https://slate.com/business/2022/12/clear-airports-line-tsa-precheck.html

And if you want to join me in paying Climeworks to verifiably remove CO₂ from the air, use my referral link:
https://climeworks.com/invitation/4Bk1KV09
€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.
Climeworks, the industrial CO₂ removal innovator, replaced Google Analytics with Matomo.
The result:
• Eliminated need for annoying cookie consent
• Reduced the carbon footprint of its website 22%
Its privacy policy boldly states, “We accept this less accurate data to protect your privacy.”
“Our vision is to inspire one billion people to remove CO₂ from the air, and we don’t believe we need cookies to do that.”
