I love when web sites say "hey, you're coming here from the EU. We therefore can't provide you with out content, as the EU operates under GDPR legislation." What they're actually saying is "we will track our users and be so privacy infringing that it is only legal to do so in the US". I […]

I predict that Sweden, again, will have months without a government due to crashed government negotiations. It has happened before.

General Election day in Sweden. Go vote if you haven't already. It is your obligation/opportunity to influence society. People have died for your right to vote today. Do it.

Mr Robot S04E07 is a masterpiece of television. If you know you know. You’d need to see everything prior to it to have it make sense though. #MrRobot #tv #series #MasterPiece

Now my first-born spawn has left the nest. It is all more quiet here now, and it feels weird and strange, yet exciting and I secretly somewhat envy him and all the amazing and fantastic experiences he will have in the coming years.

It is not that I'm a huge fan of mosquitos, wasps, flies, bees, bumblebees (they are cool though) etc, but is it only here there has been a distinct lack of them this summer? And I mean ANY of them?

I say, this is a fantastic article. So many truths. Also, a recurring topic these last couple of days, it saddens me that these days when people do NOT agree with something they lazily say "AI slop". To anything/everything. They proclaim they have seen the obvious, which means everyone else […]

I'm on a rewatch-tv-series-spree. Have just finished Person of Interest and (re-)started watching Mr Robot. It is quite fascinating how well before their time they were, compared to reality of today. I mean, 10 years ago they predicted, pretty much exactly, what we see right now. They asked the […]
