... there are just too many sites that still ask for username+password, and only verify your passkey after that.

Learning is slow, yeah?

C'mon people! Passkeys were meant to *replace passwords*, not become yet another 2FA!

Han lämnar Migrationsverkets etiska råd i protest – kallar politiken omänsklig Professor Ludvig Beckman lämnar Migrationsverkets etiska råd i protest. Utvisningspolitiken är nu så omänsklig att den strider mot grundlagen, anser han.

Utvisningspolitiken är nu så omänsklig att den strider mot grundlagen, anser professor Ludvig Beckman som hoppar av Migrationsverkets etiska råd där han suttit sen 2019.

”Utvisningarna har löpt amok. Jag vill inte legitimera det”, säger han.

All of this should be self evident, but alas, it seems they need to be explained these days.

Every time I'm going to the emergencies, I tell myself that next time, I should bring a book.

I'm now at the emergencies with old mum.... Did I remember to bring a book? Nah...

Weird. What I read is that you need high contrast images with crisp details. Not soft, not photo art.
That sounds like fairly simple directions to a photographer (assuming that a photographer knows how light functions).

Fortfarande ingen definition av vad vandel egentligen är, men vi kör det retroaktivt, hörrni! Så att absolut ingen kan komma undan sedan tidernas begynnelse!

Yes, full agreement there. Any contribution should be able to take a code review, is what that leads to.

There's also the case of AI assisted programming (where the AI suggests the next couple of tokens after what you just wrote, that sort of thing). That's not the same as fully AI generated code, but goes to show that there is a grey zone... like, when is it too […]

Open Local First For the first time this year, the FOSDEM conference will host a devroom for Local First, CRDTs and sync protocols and sync engines. FOSDEM is the biggest Free and Open Source conference in Europe. This is a great opportunity to learn from the best speakers, and meet other developers interested in Local First software. Checkout the program of the whole devroom, on Sunday 1st of February 2026.

I'll be at FOSDEM this weekend.

On Saturday, I'll spend quite a bit of time at the OpenSSL stand. Come say hi!

On Sunday, I plan to hang quite a bit in the local-first devroom (see https://openlocalfirst.org/).

Not holding policemen accountable when they kill someone has two effects:

1. Other policemen will hesitate less before killing someone.

2. Citizen will be more afraid and protest less in front of policemen. (the more the news speak about it, the more afraid they will be)

3. The few remaining […]

Between LLVM, LVM and LLM, sometimes my head's spinning... especially when tired and doing an 'apt full-upgrade', seeing that 'llvm' will be updated, and somehow wondering when the hell AI invaded my Debian laptop.

Right, and C was first developed in the early 1970s. That's the time scale you need to see for a fair comparison.

For perspective, for how long was C mainly a K&R language before ANSI and ISO took the reins?

Nope! Gender affirming care for trans youth is all social, such as using a new name, different pronouns, and changing their style of dress. It is 100% reversible.

If they REALLY cared about preventing "long term effects" to children's bodies, they'd be banning ALL elective surgeries for minors and wouldn't allow them to participate in body-changing sports such as gymnastics or ballet, or contact sports with high rates of injury such as football.
