Without security guarantees against Putin, it is not a good deal. That was what Zelensky was there to secure.

They never wanted a deal. If they wanted one it would have been negotiated and done before Zelensky stepped on American soil. I don't want to fall into the conspiracy trap, but I can't help thinking this was planned on advance. Es

Donald Trump just turned the USA into a liability. I don't know how anyone can think this is a good idea. Like people thinking killing USAID was a good idea. Guess who is going to pick up to collect the good will USAID gave? China, or

They also turned the US into a liability. I don't think any western nation will rely on the US for anything for a long time.

I wonder what the Swedish government thinks of the DCA agreement now. I would definitely reconsider.

How did the cold war bot end with the fall of the soviet union?

First of all, Trump has been very reluctant about any security guarantees. I don't think he will give any, regardless of mineral deal or not. And I agree Zelenskys lost yesterday. I was expecting him to do what Starmer did, just "

Are you surprised a country with Russia as it's neighbour wants to join NATO? Especially since it has been an important part of the defense of the European union. Putin has been stuck in the cold war since forever. His expansionist ide

Because he was expected to? To get a mineral deal and a ceasefire seemingly without any security guarantees? (Because Putin "is a man of his word") I never thought I would see the day of a president that was more gullible than Bus

Well, Russia has been interfering a lot recently. And don't you find it quaint how what Trump does aligns with Russian interests? He has already weakened diplomatic ties to all western countries, killed USAID (who is going to move in t

Anecdote time: I did a test like this with a small hobby project of mine (c++). I ported it to rust and saw roughly a 25% speed increase because of some refactorings I was meaning to do for a long time. I then ported the rust code back to c

I use it and it is not great, but it is also very nice to just have it work with systemd. When I have time I want to build a system that takes s-expressions (I am that kind of guy) and produces pods with containers in them, being similar to

One thing I always found fascinating are swedes moving to the US and begin speaking Swedish with an American accent after 10+ years. Not as a thing. They really sound like a US immigrant, with all the same un-idiomatic errors that many do,

Yup. You can write xmpp parsers with thin wrappers around a push based sax parser. It is not hard, people are just not familiar with sax. Sure, sax parsers have their limitations, but there are sax parsers that avoid the callback trouble by

The only snag I hit regularly is me forgetting to set :z or :Z on my podman volumes to make it play well with SELinux. I used to use docker compose, but migrated to podman quadlets. The only thing I miss is being able to define every contai

Oh, but people don't like XML. XML means xmpp is awful apparently. I feel pretty alone in having a bad experience with matrix, but a good one with xmpp+omemo.

It is different enough that it will lock me to a certain workflow. Obsidian is great, because it is not like other apps. Using it daily will mean moving to another app will be some work.

I think that the data isn't really the problem, it is the workflow.

I am not really comfortable relying on a tool that has a free tier and a subscription. I really like the app, but I will never again have the rugged pulled out under me with a quadrupling of license costs. Do the make any kind of promises w

Considering how atrociously bad they have been at estimated money saved, I don't think they have any positive results at all. https://www.npr.org/2025/02/19/nx-s1-5302705/doge-overstates... Twitter

I have 123 signal contacts. I have a total of 504 contacts in my phone book, many of which don't have phone numbers attached to them. I would say it is pretty popular, at least in my social circle.

I always wanted a comparison to ropes. Every time I see ropes mentioned I always think "why not use RRB trees?". It seems like less housekeeping, but with all the benefits.

DoT has a standard port, meaning blocking (conforming) requests simple. DoH uses 443. Nothing says clients need to confirm to the port requirements, but most companies will be lazy and assume 853 will work.

CPS style stands for continuation passing style. It is common for compiler to represent programs in a CPS style since it is a handy format for a compiler to reason about.

I have said this before, but it deserves repeating: When people say scheme is a simple language, they do not mean the hygienic macro system. Especially not something like psyntax/syntax-case. I am very impressed! The implementation is

On a similar note: the Swedish armed forces just came out and recommended that people working for the military should use signal for their calls and messages for things that are not classified in any of the higher classifications. https:&#
