Jag tog förresten bort mitt konto på LinkedIn. Fick massvis med reklam till min gamla gmail (som jag behöver kika in på då och då). Kom på att jag ju inte behöver LinkedIn så tog bort det. Skönt!

Last night I dreamt I was at a protest. As I stood on the sidewalk I watched a crowd of people carrying signs, marching down the street chanting "2 or 5" then clapping 3 times. In the dream I almost figured out what the chant meant but I woke up before the thought formed fully.

Pro tip: protest chants should be self explanatory

@meraord Så redigt trött på företag som envisas med de sakerna. Ge mig bara en clean funktioneranse mjukvara som inte tvingar på mig AI eller vill åt mitt data. Blä.

Nu ska jag bara vänja mig vid Libre Office, inte använt det jättemycket än, men det blir bra.

Har bakat bullar. Händer typ aldrig. Men idag var en sån baka bull-dag. 🙌

Sommar och solsken mellan skurarna.

The historic Software Freedom Conservancy v. Vizio, Inc. case continues in Superior Court in California!

SFC announced that we recently filed an updated Motion for Summary Adjudication
(similar to a Motion for Partial Summary Judgement in USA federal courts):
https://sfconservancy.org/news/2025/jul/10/sfc-updates-motion-for-summary-adjudication-vizio/

The motion asks the judge to summarily rule that SFC has a right as a third-party beneficiary under
the popular copyleft licenses — GPLv2 & LGPLv2.1.

A direct link to the filing:

Also, please do reply to this thread for discussion all day today and tomorrow (2025-07-1{0,1}) with our Policy Fellow @bkuhn about the filing and more information about the Vizio case!


Keep in mind the trial is *this September* starting on 2025-09-22 in Santa Ana, CA & it's open to the public!

Found wild strawberries today! Lots!

My latest piece for The Guardian:
A government that claims to take concerns over crime, safety and national security seriously, while ignoring violent far-right extremism, will struggle with its future credibility.
Sweden has a long tradition of refusing to face up to its racism – past and present. But racism could still decide the next election.

Attended a great talk yesterday at @dedependance hosted by Nuria Ribas Costa with @Mer__edith and Evelyn Austin (@bitsoffreedom) about #Signal, AI and Europe's "Big Tech Initiatives" (amongst other things).

They had an interesting perspective on how Europe can catch up on the US with regards to Big Tech, "the cloud"¹, hyperscalers, etc.

Their perspective was: should we even want this? Should we want to copy the US's Big Tech template and perhaps end up like them?

¹ such a dumb term
