FOSDEM achievement = unlocked: yesterday I had the pleasure of meeting @bagderdaniel:// stenberg:// in person and grab some cool stickers, yay! 🥳

I was really sad to miss his keynote (early train, sigh), but I'm planning to watch it online.

It was amazing to meet so many wonderful people at ... I've already started a countdown on my phone for the next edition. I can't wait.

And now: reviewing hundreds of photos I took with my phone and my Canon DSLR. The nostalgia is real 🥲

Today I had to make a purchase. While looking into it, I discovered that a European electronics chain had the same price as the well-known group that delivers things to your door. I placed the order. Five minutes later, the item was ready for pickup. In the afternoon, I went there at my leisure. No risk of loss or theft, no courier tossing it into the garden without care. A kind young man handed it to me and innocently asked if I needed help setting it up. All at the same price, but with many more smiles and the awareness that I contributed to my “neighbor’s” paycheck.

The older I get, the more I believe that true modernity is valuing human connection.

Been up all night with friends going through the unpleasantly long lists of infosec people in the Epstein Files. Yikes, guys. I knew some of them were pieces of shit, already - but too many other people fell for a transparent bid to illegitimatize elections, and I said so then. 🤷🏻‍♀️😞

"Appleが日本のスマホ新法を評価する理由は、単純に「規制が緩いから」ではない。セキュリティやプライバシーを「競争要因」として認め、技術的なリスクを理解した上で法案を設計した点を評価しているのだ。"
