Nine-tenths of the activities of modern government are harmful; therefore the worse they are performed, the better.

Internet is a place where:
People sharing corporation's "property" is compared to attacking ships (piracy)
Corporations sharing between them user's data is "respecting their privacy" and "improving their services"

Calling express.js a framework is really optimistic.

Individualist anarchism and communist anarchism are the same, or nearly so, in terms of moral motivations and ultimate goals.

So.. I'm back with qutebrowser again. While Firefox is a shiny web browser with even shinier addons, it still lacks a lot of the important features that I like with qutebrowser.
I still dislike QtWebEngine and all, but it's the option that sucks the least for me. :)

All my political ideas boil down to this formula: political federation or decentralization.

I've been struggling to push the idea of autonomous teams to a very controlling project lead. He's so stressed with all the micromanaging that he's the single biggest bottleneck in the dev process. Any ideas on how to handle this tactfully?
We're starting off with a kayaking day on lake Tarnita to escape the heat. Should be fun.
Finally back in Cluj, Romania. Looking forward to the great food, friendly people and potent weed.
I have no doubt it's going to be a great month.
Begone Chromium, I've had it with your memory hogging.

2 strange dreams.
One with a poltergeist. So lifelike that I was convinced ghosts actually existed when I woke up. Secretly asking the ghost to make a sound if it really existed. Almost shat my pants when a sound came back.
Next dream was me endlessly wandering around a co-working space looking for my cubicle.

🇬🇧 Yesterday, the regulation on #chatcontrol was adopted by the EU Parliament: a sad day for all those who rely on free and confidential communications and advice, including abuse victims and press sources. This is how the Parliament’s groups voted:

In today’s vote, 537 Members of the European Parliament approved Chatcontrol, with 133 voting against and 20 abstentions. According to police data, in the vast majority of cases, innocent citizens come under suspicion of having committed an offence due to unreliable processes. In a recent representative poll, 72% of EU citizens opposed general monitoring of their messages.
Nice "democracy" you've got going on there EU
