I just did an interview with a Canadian journalist about the Swedish home guard and total defence system and whether such a system could be created for Canada.

My argument is that yes, it should be, but that you need to remember that the Swedish total defence system is rooted in Swedish social compromise. The old Swedish elites chose to share power with the labour movement after the 1920s and Sweden's military system, like so much else, is a product of this.

@Loukas Fascinating! Would like to read the rest of the story when published.

I saw a short edit of an incredible documentary a few years ago about a Vietnamese American refugee living in Oregon telling her life story.

Her son is one of the most talented documentarians I’ve ever met and her story is powerful.

Please take 1 minute to vote for it to win $45,000 in finishing funds. This story needs to be told.

Most moderation problems I have seen discussed recently would disappear if everyone was on a server operated by someone they personally knew in meatspace.

Fediverse servers should be the size of a chosen family at most. It’s ok to post in your parents’ home. It’s ok to move in with your cousins. It’s ok to move into your own home. Your digital home should feel as comfortable as your physical home. You should be able to open/close your own door as you please.

@dale I know it’s not straight forward today, but it’s the direction I think we need to move.

We can make the server software as easy to maintain as a WordPress site. We can have super cheap managed hosted options. The legal obligations are effectively a non-issue at < 50 people scale who aren’t pirates or pedophiles. Mastodon and other fediverse apps authors are working as fast as we can to improve the UX. Many Mastodon UX issues are already solved on other server implementations.

VCs and tech journalists on LinkedIn keep hyping the idea of a super app for the US and EU markets.

A super app would give a company I already get a mediocre experience from the ability to ensure all of my digital experiences are mediocre. No thanks.

Asking for subjects, er, citizens of Great Britain and its present-day-still-somehow colonies to swear allegiance to a king feels so, so bizarre to me as someone raised in the US.

@jvschrag @bougiewonderland Double yikes on behalf of the immigrants.

The US pledge of allegiance to the flag “and to the republic, for which it stands” is less cringe than to an unelected person to me. Also, the US has a constitutionally protected right to choose not to pledge allegiance that’s been affirmed repeatedly by the Supreme Court. I’d still prefer US schools not lead it daily.

US leaders swear to uphold the Constitution of the people.

The people do not swear allegiance to a leader.

King Charles should call the whole thing off and end the monarchy with the queen’s death.

@joshsusser “The flying spaghetti monster said so!” is as valid of a reason as the other reasons. 🤣

More good arguments for being a macro-optimist about the US.

~”A US American must be at least 36 years old to have participated in an election in which the Republican candidate for president won the most votes. A US American must be at least 52 years old to have participated in two presidential elections in which the Republican nominee got the most votes.”

You have an API which lets you get details about a specific thing by its numerical ID:

/api/thing/1
/api/thing/2
...
/api/thing/789
etc

If you wanted to get details for ALL the things - which of these options would you want to see?

Jeremiah,
@Jeremiah@alpaca.gold avatar

@Edent I’d use /things/ consistently with it for the collection and /things/id for an item

The leaf software architecture creates smart products that are more secure, more resilient, and not at risk of becoming e-waste prematurely.

It describes software that utilizes local execution and data storage, autonomous functionality, and federated interoperability.

It benefits the user while reducing security risk liability and operational costs for the manufacturer.

Here is my talk introducing with slides and annotated transcript:

Beautiful interview with drag queen Trixie Mattel about growing up queer in a hateful America and dealing with the increased hate today as a superstar.

“We’re in a country where our idea of masculinity is commodified and femininity is weakness. Drag plays with that. In drag, you’re a man who dresses like a woman who becomes the most powerful person in the room. We’re accidental role models because the ultimate move is to live for yourself and don’t give a fuck.”

Interviewer: “What about people who just think it is plain wrong? That God made men men and women women and there shouldn’t be any gender fluidity?”

Trixie: “Well… God’s not real and I am, so do that with that.”

    I guess my entrepreneurship journey was predictable.

    ✅ difficult childhood
    ❌ teenage vandal
    ✅ ADHD
    ✅ more generalist than specialist
    ✅ often unsatisfied with employers
    ✅ 39
