Not that strange, Malcolm Kyeyune is a member of the Örebro Party, and he’s had a podcast together with the party leader, Markus Allard, since 2015.

Kyeyune was one of the members - along with Allard - who were kicked out of the Left Party’s youth organization in 2014 for supporting the Revolutionary Front.

One thing to remember in Swedish politics is that the old idea of the Folkhemmet ("the Home of the People") is always lurking in the background: a political mix of conservatism and socialism - Sweden as a home for Swedes, but also an egalitarian home. Some view, both on the left and the right, Folkhemmet as peak Sweden.

But why pick PHP then? Why not use nodejs or similar where the language, application stack and the community is already in agreement on the execution model.

Agree, France is somewhat of an exception.

I remember during the Chirac presidency how viciously France was attacked by the other European countries, especially my own Sweden, for doing nuclear weapons testing in the South Pacific.

Jump forward today and France is seen as a protector of Europe, especially in Sweden, because of its nuclear arsenal.

Globalization died with Covid when it became obvious that the old order no longer functioned in a world with lockdowns and pandemics, it disrupted the entire supply chain.

Then globalization died a second time with the Russia’s war in Ukraine, with the emergence of BRICS and the consequences of sanctions and the breakdown of the global monetary system.

What Trump did was to pull out the rug under the European establishment, which have all built their political existence on the transatlantic cooperation.

Who is to blame? European establishment wants of course the citizens of Europe to blame Trump and not them for not preparing for this eventuality.

But the truth is that almost all of them are responsible for neglecting what is the best interest of Europe. Thus they play this game.

Laravel has become highly commercialized, having raised $57 million in VC funding last year. While it remains an open-source framework, it has evolved into a full-fledged ecosystem with official services like Forge, Vapor, and starter kits (Breeze, Jetstream) that streamline development and deployment. These tools are optional, but Laravel is making it harder to install a barebones version through Composer, subtly pushing developers toward its ecosystem.

Laravel is no longer just a PHP framework; it now resembles Java Spring — an opinionated, enterprise-friendly ecosystem where everything can be connected through configuration. The focus has shifted towards businesses and teams rather than personal or hobbyist projects.

For those who prefer a more traditional framework with long-term stability and fewer commercial dependencies, Symfony remains a solid alternative.

Tab hoarding is not an effective strategy of organization, it is more the fear of losing something important. And tab hoarding builds up, just like any other type of hoarding.

Finding tabs was a bit of hit or miss, you can search for them if remember the title, otherwise you have to manually find it, time consuming.

With my new strategy that I described above, it has become much easier to find what I’m looking for.

Bookmarking has always been clunky, putting them into hierarchical folder structure is both time consuming and has the same problem as files and folders, it lacks a dimension, a bookmark can be in multiple folders.

Bookmark toolbar could work, how paradoxical it may sound with all the tabs opened, it just don’t like that UI element cluttering my browser.

Forgetting about bookmarks can be a good thing, it is similar when browser loses all opened tabs, the feeling is a strange mix of anxiety and relief, anxiety of missing out but a relief that I don’t need to process them anymore.

Sometimes a find ten year old bookmarks on some backup, most bookmarks dead or just out of date. I feel we need better ways to organize things in this temporary cloud world.
