Iceland, boats near Stykkishólmur in March 2020.
For some reason, the beautiful town did not resonate with me. So I have to give it a second chance.
Which is by the way also an excuse to go again…and again….and again… Right? 😇

What does the increasing relationship between Europol & private companies mean for our rights & democratic process?
That's precisely what we cover in our latest analysis.
Using documents obtained through transparency requests, open-source material and interviews, we mapped out:
• the private actors promoting intrusive tools;
• Europol’s expanding partnerships with companies;
• the limited oversight of these relationships; &
• Europol’s growing role.

As part of its research into the expanding—and largely unchecked—use of AI by EU security agencies, Statewatch delves into largely uncharted territory: Europol’s links with the private sector.www.statewatch.org
IF Metall stängdes ute från förhandlingarna med Boråsföretaget Instant Systems. Kort därefter tog ett nybildat fack över – lett av sverigedemokratiska politiker och en nära vän till företagets vd.
– Med den här nära kopplingen finns det anledning att ifrågasätta lojaliteten, säger IF Metalls avtalssekreterare Simon Petersson till tidningen.

Q3: Is there a thing you have made that has just made you really happy, just for having made it? Tell us about your happiest make.
A3. I have been pleased with a stream of makes over the years, though the one I have appreciated most is my first strip pieced work, a project keeper called "Crow Tools" from a pattern in "Patchwork Loves Embroidery".
On the inside pocket is a decorative medallion appliqué of Amelia Bedelia, the earnest though easily confused housemaid, as a sort of mascot for crafting and making.

Thesis: a social media platform that does not make you addicted will always have fewer daily active users than one that does make you addicted.
Question: How many fewer? 10%? 90%?
It's not just an addictive algo, it's distribution across their other apps, partnerships with big orgs and influencers that pull users, and brand recognition. I can't go to Instagram without being updated on Threads at least once, and almost every big account I follow on IG posts to Threads now.
I don't disagree with the thesis, but Threads isn't playing the same game as every other non-Meta platform in the ecosystem.
@quillmatiq Agree there are lots of special circumstances with Meta products.
What I'm trying to figure out is what the actual "market size" for non-addictive social media is. We know kinda what it is for traditional social media -- about half of the humans on the planet.
For non-addictive social media? Same? a tenth of it? When we compare Mastodon / Bluesky / commercial platform numbers, what is a fair comparison in that light?

I have complicated feelings about webfonts.
Anyways, here's a good article on optimizing them. (You should optimize them.) lucas.dohmen.io/posts/2025/10/…
Optimizing Webfonts
Custom fonts can cause significant layout shifts, and their file size can be quite enormous. So how can we make a font as small as possible to reduce its impact on web performance?lucas.dohmen.io
Sobald man sich gegen Faschismus ausspricht, kommen Leute, die sich angesprochen fühlen und nicht angesprochen sein wollen und verteidigen eben jenen Faschismus, dem sie sich gar nicht zugehörig fühlen wollen, was aus ihnen eben das macht, was sie abstreiten, weil sie sich angesprochen fühlen.
Jetzt hab‘ ich’s verstanden.

I wonder how many people watch a paid ad by the #WorldFoodProgramme from the #UnitedNations about #Gaza every 2 or 3 posts on #Instagram? Since many months, even after marking them as "no interest", that's what I always see.
I tried to find the bill for this tremendous online campaign but the WFP budgets are everything but transparent or complete. It did however show that Gaza is their number one expense, despite much bigger humanitarian crisis elsewhere, like in Sudan. 🤷🏻♂️
