I am forever grateful to him for building & popularizing Mastodon, but I don't think @Gargron should be working on features at all right now.
Instead, he and the Mastodon non-profit (and a whole bunch of others) should be figuring out governance for collectively making decisions about Mastodon. Features in the Fediverse shouldn't be up to one guy, or even one company.
That's the whole point of the Fediverse. We do this together, or not at all.
If you're excited that things are entering the #PublicDomain — which you should be! — perhaps it's worth considering reforming copyright.
In many places currently it's 70 years after the death of the author, or longer. This is insanity.
An important piece of culture made by a young author could be locked behind copyright (with rights usually held by publishers, not authors themselves anyway) for over a *century*.
That's how you get #Disney to own almost everything.
Reform #copyright!
#Sweden seems to be pushing back on the digital #sovereignty ideology and I am living for it! Europe’s digital sovereignty - at least the way the Commission applies it - will only lead to a #fragmented Internet! The #fairshare debate is a case in point! https://www.euractiv.com/section/digital/news/digital-policy-ranks-low-on-swedish-eu-presidencys-priority-list/
Stockholm COVID-19 wastewater numbers are worst they have been since the omicron outbreak. No one seems to care.
At my dentist in Stockholm and I swear this whole waiting room is coughing. I’m masked, but no one else is.

“Putin stole childhood from our children.” —Volodymyr Zelenskyy to David Letterman
Powerful interview with humanity and comedy, even in war. (The NATO joke… zomg)
I use https://report-uri.com/ for Content Security Policy (CSP) reports on my personal website.
Erroneous reports caused by browser extensions flood any usefulness of having reporting.
Examples:
• style-src-elem inline violation on URL that contains no inline CSS
• frame-ancestors violation on a URL that contains no iframes and cite source-file of "safari-web-extension://…"
Is there anything being done by browsers to fix this? Should I just give up on reporting?

This is so awesome.
The state of multi-room audio is 💩.
Sonos & Heos are expensive and don’t offer every type of speaker connectivity situation common in existing homes.
AirPlay 2 is good option, but vendor locks to Apple ecosystem. Source device cannot get too far away from target device, just like Bluetooth. Spotify does not support AirPlay 2 multi-room.
There is a huge opportunity for relegated home audio players and a powerful outsider like Spotify to define an open industry standard and rally.

• 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

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.
