Although trained in physics, I worked in the computing industry with pride and purpose for over 40 years. And now I can do nothing but sit back and watch it destroy itself for no valid reason beyond hubris (if I'm being charitable).

Ineffable sadness watching something I once loved deliberately lose its soul.

After sending an inquiry to Proton support, I have been informed that "in order to remain efficient" they are trying "pilot programs" using LLMs to assist in coding their products.

You might want to contact Andy Yen if this choice of his affects your confidence in Proton products.

I don't often ask for boosts, but I would like this to be as visible as it can.

På mandag er det 4. maj, hvor mange sætter lys i vinduet for at mindes befrielsesen i 1945.

Det er en smuk tradition, men jeg kom til at tale med et par naboer om at det var en anledning til at være fælles om vores ønske og længsel efter en fredelig verden.

Så vi inviterer hele lokalområdet til at komme kl. 19, før mørkets frembrud, og synge et par fredssange og føle, at vi er mange. Så fandt vi på at man kunne tage et lys med og bytte med en anden, som man kunne sætte i sit vindue.
