Software developer from Sweden. I enjoy discussing tech, science, astronomy, photography and art. I like to go hiking to unwind! I’m also semi-active on Mastodon at @jonor@social.lol.

  • I assumed the intent is not to actually be Polish or Celtic etc. but give areas influence. I’m still not sure I like it though.

    I would rather have seen it done more like Middle-Earth where names can be different depending on language, but the common “English” tongue is normally used. So you have a river called Brandywine and another place Rivendell for locations in regions for two different races. Both just being English-sounding words unless asking their native races.

    It kind of takes me out of it when suddenly stepping into Druid country and I start thinking of Scots and single malt whisky. I mean there’s no lore reason behind this at all because this is not even planet Earth. It just… is. :-/



  • Honestly from experience I’ve learnt that the yes answer also usually applies to the no answer because it’s important to everyone. Advanced users tend to hit advanced issues and surprise, surprise, then community size matters all the same!

    So since Linux is highly customizable and the choice of e.g. desktop environment matters little (just install whatever you want on any distro, including DE), community size is the most hard-earned property and thus usually trumps all.

    So I personally try to keep closest to upstream regardless experienced or less experienced users => Debian if you adore those DEB packages and management, Fedora if you love those RPM packages and management, indie ones for indie packages e.g. Alpine, Arch… If you still run into issues it’s usually you, not the distro because it’s already battle hardened. :) But no worries, then you’ll find a lot of help and the problem has usually already even been discussed and is googleable! It’s 2023, none of the huge distros are plain shit and annoying, that’s been ironed out like a decade ago. So just go with a (big) flow somewhere.



  • This entire series was messed up. Every season disjointed from the other and all of them having various major flaws. But sure, S3 was “OK” although I feel pretty much over that enemy… I’m not sure how they still don’t suspect it’s starting to feel stale. Also, fan service was over the top with unbelievable scenarios conveniently bringing everyone instantly together.





  • Aldrig i livet. Det är ju ett privat bolag: Finansiell ID-Teknik BID AB. Skitskumt ju att låta ett vinstdrivande företag hantera ens id-handling. Hela Bank ID-grejen är konstig nog som den är. Det är som med Kivra som alla möjliga myndigheter som Skatteverket m.m. plötsligt tvunget skulle börja använda. Ett annat bolag som ägs av något investmentbolag och familjen Wallenberg… Sverige är ibland jäkligt ambivalent mellan att vara socialistiskt och samtidigt ibland absolut tvärtom.



  • Det känns som att det borde kunna fungera? Särskilt eftersom man kan följa communities på andra instanser också, från sin egen. Egentligen känns detta vettigare än Mastodon för mig. Ett diskussionsforum är mer förlåtande till att det inte vuxit klart riktigt, än att se ett dött flöde och försöka komma på vem man ska följa. Ett forum har ett annat tempo och man slipper “skapa sig communityn” som man måste på Mastodon.

    Hursomhelst, vore skönt att äntligen ha en stor del av problematiken med Reddit löst. Ett steg framåt när man väl byter liksom.
