I just realised that in two years time I will have been blogging on my own domain for 30 years… that’s a party I should start planning now.

Enkelt och bra av Emma Frans idag.

Jag älskar dock inte idén om att modellen ”bullshittar” heller, vilket också frammanar bilder av något med egen vilja.

ChatGPT är en köttkvarn för text och bild med en påkopplad sannolikhetsspridare – som inte kan sluta mala.

The snout is labeled 'included'.
The nose is labeled 'harmed'.
The left arm is labeled 'incidental beneficiaries'.

I’ve heard good things about Jottacloud in Norway, if you haven’t looked at it already.

My goal is setting up a Nextcloud server at home. But that may take another year 😅

@axbom.com: Re: Migadu vs. Proton. Migadu is also Swiss but with servers in France. With Migadu there is no limit on accounts, domains or aliases for any price point, only volume of data. Migadu is more honest about what email is and follows standards. Proton’s promised e2e encryption is somewhat misleading.

I’ve essentially looked at the ones I recommend on axbom.com/big-trek/

Migadu is also Swiss, but with servers in France.

Main unique selling point for me is the price model. I can have as many accounts and domains as I wish. The only thing affecting the price is volume of email.

In Switzerland, but servers are not

This may come as a surprise, but we do not host our servers in Switzerland. Current data centers are located in France. We may in the near future add Swiss data centers too but this is not our priority.

We find EU privacy laws much more elaborate and restrictive than the Swiss ones. Switzerland used to be famous for banking secrecy, but that has nothing to do with digital data.

@datarama Cool, thanks for sharing! And for alerting me to Runbox. It looks like I should add it to my suggestions here

Meta’s AI copyright battle.

"The social media giant is not denying that it used the work or that it downloaded books from shadow libraries en masse, but insists that its behavior is shielded by the “fair use” doctrine, an exception in US copyright law that allows for permissionless use of copyrighted work in certain cases, including parody, teaching, and news reporting.”

US District Court Judge Vince Chhabria: “If you are dramatically changing, you might even say obliterating, the market for that person's work, and you're saying that you don't even have to pay a license to that person to use their work to create the product that's destroying the market for their work—I just don't understand how that can be fair use”.

In June, to be finalised in July at the latest, I will be moving my email accounts from Google Workspace (prev. Google Apps) to Migadu.

Likely I should document all this along the way.

Here's the brutally honest and readworthy Pro/Cons list for Migadu:

Yes I'm embarrassed to still be dependent on Google for this, but that's also why I'm happy this is finally happening.

Re: Migadu vs. Proton.

Migadu is more honest about what email is and follows standards. Proton’s promised e2e encryption is somewhat misleading.

We know some email providers automatically encrypt messages as they arrive using users' public keys. That sounds exciting but in practice it does not really prevent the provider from accessing the mails. It only makes email less usable, less standard and more tied to that provider. What you gain in security you lose in portability and usability, and what we do not want for ourselves, we won’t be offering others either.

If you are interested in real encryption and absolute security for your Santa letters, please use end-to-end encryption tools such as GPG with your correspondents or pull locally all your messages periodically (e.g. via POP3) and encrypt them yourself on your local device.

Flashback to the times when you tried to record two movies onto a 180-minute VHS tape but the last 10 minutes got cut off.

Sometimes you were in the room and rushed to change tape, which took almost a minute in total.

For some time we had a top-loading player.

A top-loaded video cassette player with the cassette being ejected - also showing a finger pressing the eject button.

Nice, gives me lots of ideas. Makes me want to do something similar that also covers people who are not users and negatively affected. And something about designer responsibility… I have a version of my panda that I started on 5 years ago but never completed… 😬

”I made this in no time at all!”
”Did you go through and validate the coherence, the messaging and the explanatory approach? Not to mention the accuracy?”
”Nah, man, the point is to save time.”

Thinking as little as possible is now a badge of honor.

Living in the upside-down.

Been caught in a best of Britains Got Talent-loop the last week and been crying and blubbering so much!

I hope the people who always say "I have nothing to hide" in support of surveillance understand how it's people who had nothing to hide who are being detained and deported by the Trump administration.

But I won't hold my breath.

De gjorde vissa små ändringar efter min förra granskning men det är verkligen häpnadsväckande fortsatt dåligt…

Jag trodde kampanjen var över och blev därför överraskad när den dök upp igen i helgen.
