Edit: who am I kidding, you’re right. My comment was spiteful. I do apologize.

And I am not trying to besmirch any person or generation, but I do think that there is a correlation between the amount of literature the “older people” of today were exposed to during their youth compared to those that you refer to by saying “young people”. Since you didn’t specify a demographic, I am not touching on any socioeconomic circumstances and/or cultural factors that may or may not lead to young people not being able to distinguish between utopia and dystopia.

Sic! Thank you so much! 🩵

Learning my first ever language, C. The goal is to get a better understanding of how machines interpret human readable code and for me to be able to read and understand it. As of now, I’m not trying to develope anything in particular, although down the road, it would be a fun experiment to try to write as many of my computer and smartphone applications and environments as possible. Just to see how self sustaining one can become. 😊

You mean like the breakdown I had yesterday and I thought that it’s time to end it once and for all because of how miserable and worthless I am? Nah, not been there, not done that. /j

Somehow I’m still here, on the bus, on my way to work.

After I finish the few hours of work that my doctor allows me to do, I guess I’m looking forward to sitting down at the local library to do some hobby programming. I’m also looking forward to see some of my colleagues. Not all of them.

If you would have to say at least one thing that you could look forward to today/tomorrow, what would it be?

I mean… Have you seen their culture?

I am ALL for exhibitionism in non offensive settings, but Microslop up my ass? No spank you. 😝

Whatever its shortcomings, it surely must be better than Microslop’s Coshampoo. Who the heck wants an attendant watching you shower?!

Everything that has already been said, and also, call your ISP from a number available not on this email, but on your contract with them. Ask your ISP on the phone to confirm whether they sent you this email. For this, have available the timestamp of the mail.

Optionally: report it to the local authorities. Attach the e-mail in its entirety. Not to expect any particular action from them, but to make sure that you have done anything and everything in your power to get ahead of any possible problems.

I think (pray) that the devs are not Japanese. /j

Just give them Bing or something.

I’m glad your dad is alright 🩵 and I agree on that once you do receive healthcare, the quality is nothing to complain about. And, as I said, I wouldn’t change our system to that of the US or whatever for anything, because that would lead to only privileged people being able to receive healthcare.

I wonder what happened with that experiment at that hospital in Mölndal, where they tried six hour workday with eight hour pay?

My bad, the phrasing was weird. I have changed the phrasing now. Thanks! I meant to liken people that go abroad to deliver their babies to refugees, not to blame the shortcomings of the Swedish health care system on actual refugees. The blame lies solely on the ruling class.

In Sweden, on paper, everybody has the right to receive health care, even if you’re not a citizen. This is humanitarian and beautiful. On paper. While I wouldn’t trade it for what you have in the US, our system has some serious shortcomings. For example, because of the long waiting times, we had to come up we the term “health care guarantee”, which is a guideline to health care providers that states, that they have to provide health care within two or three months of the application date. Since it’s a guideline it’s practically meaningless and some people have had their health irreversibly damaged because they didn’t receice surgery or whatever in time. Another example are the people delivering babies abroad. Some clinics and hospitals are so taxed, that they cannot make room for one more person to give birth, which has lead to some infamous cases where people gave birth in their cars, on their way to a neighbouring country to deliver their baby abroad. Yet another example is how the physicians are trained to treat patients. While overdiagnosing and overexamining definitely is a thing and a fact in the medical world, our doctors far too often recommend us taking pain medication “walk it off”, instead of actually examining. You rarely get a CT, yet alone an MRI, and if you do, you have moths for it.

EDIT: trans specific healthcare is years behind. Again, on paper, everybody is accepted and we have our pointless pride parade, but when you actually voice your concern or need for gender affirming health care, you have to prove your dysphoria to a bunch of specialists, which takes up to five years. If and when they decide to diagnose you with gender dysphoria, then you are eligible for HRT or whatever you need. Once you get the diagnosis, the state pays for any and all gender affirmation, which is good, but the journey is murderous…

EDIT2: Certain workplaces cover both examination, treatments and medicine.

Seebra, but the “ee” is the “ee” in “eerie” or “ea” in “ear”? :)

The “s”(“z”) is unvoiced.

Also, the final “a” is quite sharper than the English one.

This unlocked something

I agree. People that lack the technical expertise or rooting compatible devices shouldn’t be forced to even consider this. Once you have paid for a device, you should be allowed to do with it whatever the hell you want, without Google or other big tech shoving unsolicited policies down your throat.

You’re right. At the very least, users shouldn’t be forced to make this choice. It’s absurd how little authority we have over devices we have paid for with our hard earned money. :(
