Not only did they break classic WordPress stuff, but they also keep breaking Gutenberg APIs at a really frustrating rate.

It’s clear that the core WordPress developers have a very different idea of project stewardship than the Gutenberg devs do.

"Humans can accurately retell what their consciousness was doing" is often not true, because of complex mechanisms. The feeling of shame alone can make it very hard for someone to accurately describe how the arrived at the wrong conclusion.

Oh certainly. I'm not saying that "we did it so it should be just as easy for you". But neither having an existing copper network nor being sparsely populated is the reason for why the US does not have extensive fiber coverage.

AFAICT the required political will just isn't there due to how campaign financing works. Just look at the plain insanity of laws like this https://www.techdirt.com/2024/11/07/16-u-s-states-still-ban-....

Dude, this is what Stockholm looked like 1890 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Old_Stockholm_telephone_tower.

2009 we made it a national strategy that 90% of the population should get internet access via fiber and by 2020 we’d reached 63%.

Here’s a map of our broadband coverage https://bredbandskartan.pts.se/.

The US had a similar strategy and basically paid $400 billion for the same buildout but got nothing in return and no one was held accountable https://www.huffpost.com/entry/the-book-of-broken-promis_b_5....

I matters because a lot of people will only read the headline and then get a skewed view of the political landscape.

I did not post my comment to defend him or the party. All I wanted was for people to understand the situation a bit better than they would by just reading the title and post content.

They're also dressed exactly like a group of random middle aged men.

Naturally, getting raided is scary as fuck. And them being plain clothed certainly doesn't make it less so. But based on the part of the video which he chose to shared I don't see why one would suspect anyone other than the police. Had they been out to kill him it would have been easier to just go in blasting instead of yelling while using a battering ram.

Hit squads are truly exotic here. Plain clothes police raids are not, although the norm is for them to be uniformed. I have no idea on why they chose to be plain clothed instead of uniformed on this occasion, but I can't see why we would attribute it to "cosplaying as some sort of a hit squad". Another possibility, which I believe is somewhat common, is that they can take him away without making him look like a criminal in the eyes of his neighbors.

Where in Europe are you from? I get the impression that you are used to a very different kind of society.

This is Denmark, not some Brasilian favela. That type of violent crime extremely rare in Scandinavia. But cops wearing civilian clothes while conducting a raid is fairly normal. Especially when they want to preserve evidence which might be quickly destroyed if the suspect sees them coming.

I am Swedish, and it’s very true that ”it depends”.

This guy for example was convicted of murder because he got his gun out without even trying to contact the police directly or indirectly. So even if he pulled the trigger under reasonable circumstances (a know violent offender was trying to take his rifle) he was found guilty because he should not have gone for the gun without considering alternatives like locking the door or fleeing.

I can’t see him being anywhere near guaranteed to claim self defense even if he had fired a warning shot first.

Judging by the Reddit threads I saw, A LOT of people were upset even though it was clear that they had not idea what the feature actually provided beyond “encryption”. I’d guess that the majority assumed that the change would result in them basically having to “encryption” in affected AMD devices any more in some vague general sense.

That’s assuming that the tools should be able to replace juniors. I have a hard time seeing how a junior could take over the role which Claude code currently fills in my line of work and certainly not at the same price point even if I paid for the tokens rather than a subscription.

I’ve been thinking about this quite a bit lately.

I live in an apartment in Stockholm but I also own an old forest cabin. It’s perfectly legal for me to live in said cabin permanently, but it would be strictly illegal for me to build a new house to the same simple standard. The building codes are basically making it illegal to be poor.

Similar patterns exist for student housing. The old style of student corridors with small rooms are no longer being built. Instead we are basically getting full apartments with individual huge bathrooms because the building codes mandate that everything is wheelchair accessible even when it’s practically temporary housing and they could get by with making 1/10 apartments accessible.

And that’s not even getting into how NIMBYism is enabled by laws that basically guarantee stagnation anywhere housing is in demand.

Shit’s fucked.

I yearn for an updated version of the 12” MacBook with modern specs and keyboard. The 13” Air is way too large to be the smallest MacBook ;_;

As long as they provide the same utility / $ I don’t see why not. It’s not like the open weight models are that far behind and Claude code itself shouldn’t be very hard for the commmunity to replicate if Anthropic start acting up too much.

I’ve never seen a scroll related animation that I didn’t hate to some degree. I suspect that the issue is that I skim and scroll REALLY fast and the animations always break the feeling of the page being a real surface.

Apple is the worst offender. Some of their product pages make me physically uncomfortable like when you miscount the number of steps in a stair and step into empty air.

And it’s not that I’m sensitive to animations or motion in general. Video games are no problem at all even when the physics make no sense.

There’s something special about how good scrolling is on Apple’s trackpads and mobile screens which causes a really deep immersion for me. I have an Ubuntu desktop with an old school scroll wheel mouse and there the animations are just annoying but not uncomfortable.

AFAIK that’s how incorporated companies work in Europe.

Here in Sweden we have A LOT of companies own and operated by state and local government and they’re all “aktiebolag” which literally translates to “stock companies”. For smaller businesses you can register as a sole proprietor and some other odd structures if you are a group of people. You’ll often see the same thing for non-profits as well.

There’s a reason for why you are comparing still shots to the actual video of Musk saluting the crowd nazi style.

Agree 100%!

I’m a fast scroller and skimmer. Info scroll down and the text is not there I’ll just assume that the site is shot and close it. Ain’t nobody got 200ms to wait for a god damn fade in when there’s an infinite amount of sites out there to discover.
