Software developer by day, insomniac by night.
Against Försvarsmakten’s wishes as they use Signal for comms. But our dear politicians know best, clearly. Like the other year when the Liberal party almost collapsed in on itself due to a split in opinion on whether or not incest should be legal. One part was like “ew no you shouldn’t fuck your cousin” and the other being “the government doesn’t get to decide who I fuck!”
It’s almost like all countries have problems.
As someone from Northern Europe -Sweden specifically - we’re not socialist. We’re a constitutional monarchy, with a parliamentary system, and we’re very much a capitalist society. We have a decent amount of social safety nets (which are being eroded by the right-wing powers that be as we speak), and strong labour laws (dito).
People work their bodies into breaking in these kinds of jobs, which I just find ethically wrong. I get that there are risks with every job, but basically being guaranteed to get injuries from repetitive motions etc. is a big ask. I support robots taking over such tasks.
I also don’t think it’s a hot take that Mercedes (and fucking everyone) should support UBI. Everyone has a right to live, and if we must have this capitalistic society, then everyone should have some means of access to it. No one chooses to be born, but once they are we as a society have a responsibility to ensure that they can live their lives with dignity.
If companies want to partake in society, they better contribute to it as well.
Have they actually made non-Webkit versions though, or is it still just WKWebView? A part of me thinks Apple has already kind of won this. They started allowing plugins and such a while ago, and at this point it covers my needs. Safari is really well-designed for phones as well, and the times I’ve tried using Firefox it just feels awkward and clunky - not because of the engine, but because of the general UX.
I’m sure opinions differ, and I really do hope more people will swap over to Firefox (Brave and Vivaldi can fuck themselves), but it doesn’t really feel like a big win unless you get more tangible benefits; different engines, plugin support, etc.
I mean the CCP is aiming to have people use Kylin? If the government and the entire populace starts using Linux instead we’ll just see the same BS on Linux instead. It’s not an OS/platform issue, but an issue of bad actors.
I don’t think we should have any nominee. It’s a silly notion.
Edit: So the reason for this is I think it’s a bad idea to idealise nations. Like you say there is no perfect candidate. We can acknowledge the good things a country does, while also recognising the bad things. Putting a country on a pedestal risks spreading an unrealistic view of it. Nuance is good.
