Dad's new favorite toddler game:

Sleeping dog.

Toddler is told a short story about a dog, walking home with its dad, finding its dog bed and then falling asleep.

Toddler says "vov vov" (danish dog sound).

Dad says "that's right, and now the dog goes to bed".

Toddler makes fake snoring sounds.

Dad says "yes, that's good, now keep practicing you're a sleeping dog".

Dad goes to the next door room to let toddler have some space.

--- 5 minutes later ---

Toddler is fast asleep.

Milkshaking fascists/nazis is a form of cultural self defence.

Hardcoding blocks against fascists/nazis in networked software is a form of cultural self defence.

Fascists and nazis are actively working on destroying other cultures.
Fighting back is cultural self defence.

@switchingsocial @mcpaccard I'm pretty happy that we made Uber as good as illegal in Denmark - even though it was for the entirely wrong reasons.

@aral Exactly. While the technical benefits from the protocols Google design are attracting, I don't know what the weaknesses are - and I definitely don't have the resources to investigate.

Will HTTP/3 aka HTTP/QUIC make it easier for Google to track anything they want? Will the complexity of the protocol lead to implementer monopoly, giving them control of all of our network usage?

I don't know, I don't know how to find out, and I don't want to risk it.

Sometimes I have trouble remembering that other countries don't have the same level of background socialism as Denmark.

Coops are ubiquitous here, I rent my home from a coop (I'm a member), half the convenience stores around are part of a coop (I'm a member), the milk I drink is produced by a coop (farmer-owned, I think my uncle is a member), etc.

And all of these coops have been around for more than 50 years. Hel, even my IT-worker's union is over 50 years old.

I find it kinda funny how computers are supposed to do exactly what you tell them to, but because SPEEEED, someone told the computers to guess ahead of time what might happen, instead of just doing what the instructions actually says.

And now everyone is hurting, because we told computers to do stuff we didn't ask them to.
