Transportstyrelsen besvarar kritik med rena lögner. De baserar sina påståenden på eget tyckande och påstår sedan att det inte fanns vetenskapligt underlag, trots att det inte bara fanns, utan Transportstyrelsen har tagit emot länkar till studier.

On Sunday, the local fish store recommended me a yoyo loach for snail control without any qualifications or follow up questions. 🤦 I just watched it breach my sand cap and expose the underlayer of garden soil. I dunno how to address this with holiday travel coming up.

#LauraLoomer, gadfly & #Trump favorite, told…Michael Scherer in an interview…that “we need to make McCarthy great again.” And she told The New Yorker that McCarthy is “one of the most underrated & underappreciated political figures in history.” #JackPosobiec, a prominent #FarRight influencer & #ConspiracyTheorist, has posted that “McCarthy didn’t go far enough.” #SteveBannon, in a recent phone conversation with Breland, put it even more starkly: “We need to do #McCarthyism to the tenth power.”

I've said this before, but I can't say it enough: OpenResty (nginx+lua) is painfully underappreciated. It's fantastic, and the only platform I trust for very high volume, high performance, mission critical web application servers.

My secret weapon is OpenResty. Probably the most stable, powerful and underappreciated web server. nginx + lua!!
Any fellow OpenResty fans out there???

> file versioning
optionally :)
I'd add networked file system, though it hides in "virtual devices". And integrated debugger (DDT).
But the big, underappreciared thing about the ITS operating system (OS), too easily seen as a weakness, was the LACK of security.
Today, security is essential. But the luxury of working WITHOUT it back then was a HUGE productivity gain.
ITS existed on the ARPANET for YEARS with NO file security, NO protection against ANY user (even not logged in users) shutting down timesharing, tools that let ANY user spy on any other, and commands to read interactive messages or email that took a command line argument of WHOSE to read. Yet abuse was negligible/tolerable for a LONG time.
Partly an artifact of the time. Some combination of (1) most folks not thinking to make mischief, (2) most users knowing how precious it was and being asked to behave like adults and respect it, (3) using those same tools to see what others were doing and mutually policing, (4) using spy tools to make sure people weren't floundering and frustrated but helped to succeed, (5) treating even guests (tourists) with respect, (6) "security through obscurity" still worked back then.
I didn't understand how critical this was until I started using a Digital Equpment Corporation (DEC) commercial TOPS-20 OS on basically the same (PDP-10) hardware. I felt suddenly WAY less productive and was at a loss for why. I went back to an ITS host and enumerated all the programs in the system directories (SYS, SYS1, SYS2, SYS3) to see what was missing.
One realization was that most of that software just supported other ITS software. It wasn't what was missing.
The other realization, something I then had no name for but with benefit of history I now do, was that ITS was an early form of social media--a better, less nutty way to perceive its spying capabilities--like a DDT (shell) command ("os", for Output Spy) to say WHOSE console to spy on.
Like in Star Trek TNG episode "I, Borg", TOPS-20 made me feel like Hugh did: I couldn't "hear the voices" of other users. (Metaphorically hear. We mostly had no audio back then.) The difference from ITS? I was lonely. I could send messages, but only private ones. Socializing information, knowing what others were doing, sharing work? All hard. The silence was deafening.
Why WOULD anyone be allowed to see somebody else's screen? Why would that EVER not be creepy? Why would someone WANT you to read their messages to/from others?
Isn't that what we do on Facebook? Somebody starts a conversation and others arrive to see it, see what's been said so far, and add to it. That's how ITS felt. You'd login, notice friends were online, read their recent messages to find out what was going on, and then (once caught up in conversations), join in. Details were different, but in the social media paradigm it's easier to see why it felt not so much creepy as fabulously useful, especially compared to the isolation of other OSes of the time (and now). It made us enormously more efficient.
And the ability to watch somebody else's screen? We do it in zoom today, though we now elect when we do it and when we can't. Still, powerful. People imagine it was more primitive back then, and it was. But different too. No camera, just screen, but no ability to opt out of sharing it. Not really the screen, the output buffer (kinda like a low-level, ephemeral event queue). Often it looked crappy on a slow terminal trying to watch a fast one because of data loss trying to keep up, or trying to watch a screen with sophisticated display capability from a screen (or even "paper terminal") lacking such capability. Even so, it worked pretty well.
It was ALSO an early interactive, collaborative development environment. Programmers worked with each other AND users (who they could watch). We didn't lack ideas. A lot of today's "new inventions" may be things we knew we wanted. We were limited by what tools were implemented, so progress started slow. Processors were slower. But people were clever, and much more careful with time/space efficiency than today.
I recall Emacs starting in about 3 seconds on ITS, on a PDP-10 with 10-15 users, slower if 30. Today, on MUCH faster personal hardware, it starts fast but still not instantly. More happens now under the covers. More flexibility AND sloppiness are allowed.
Back then if something didn't work, you sent a bug report. Someone might say "show me". So you'd do it on your console and assume they could watch. Like zoom (sans video).
Most stuff lacked documentation but people just typed queries to command line (like copilot?). It'd say syntax error but often someone spying would volunteer an answer, maybe before the user asked. :)
We built many sketches of our imagined futures. ITS was all about that in a way other OSes of the time were not.

1,500 Van Gogh Artworks Have Been Digitized and Put Online [Shared]
Few artists are as widely beloved as Vincent van Gogh. Although underappreciated during his lifetime, the large body of work he left behind has since enthralled art lovers everywhere. While the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam remains a top destination to see his work in person, there is now another way to experience the Dutch Post-Impressionist‘s masterpieces. The museum has digitized 1,500 paintings and drawings by Van Gogh and made them available online for anyone to view.

Glemte også å nevne gulbeinmåsen, som jeg hørte om for første gang i år. Den ligner så mye på gråmåse at man tar feil, og derfor er den sannsynligvis underrapportert i Norge. Hvis du ser en stor måse med grå vinger og gule føtter kan det være gulbeinmåse!

Forgetting what #democracy is for & all about
"Poland's post-communist economic record was remarkable.. But te full #socialcosts of tis #economic #transformation hv been underappreciated.. (w) radical #freemarket reforms, #inequality soared.. While #privatisation & #deregulation lifted GDP, te same processes also fractured te body politic.. #Wałęsa helped usher in #Poland's democratic era, but recently conceded: "We did one thing wrong. We forgot abt te #people"" #lessons

I stayed out of the #ElectricState #ttrpg Kickstarter because it felt like Tales From the Loop, but made to fit a conventional sci-fi adventure story.
Tales From the Loop is whimsical, warm and very human - it was well represented by the criminally underappreciated TV show. Meanwhile, Electric State movie trailer looks like generic adventure slop.
It is further hindered by having The Worst Chris and Millie Bobbie Brown, best known for being famous without starring in anything worth watching.

LOV och de vinstdrivande skojarföretagens valfrihet har bara ställt till med problem
"Brottsförebyggande rådet flaggar i sin tur för att lagen om valfrihetssystem, lov, som syftat till att öka konkurrensen kan ha sänkt trösklarna och underlättat för oseriösa aktörer att etablera sig med offentlig finansiering, och försvårat för regioner och kommuner att kontrollera aktörer och stoppa dem innan de kommer in på marknaden."

In the 1980s, I saw this drama on Pakistani television. It was the story of an ordinary man, who was underpaid and underappreciated at work. Frustrated, he starts skimming money from his workplace. Eventually, suspicions arise and authorities are called in to investigate the fraud. In a panic, this man grabs the money and runs, fleeing on the midnight train.
His train cabin is closed, and he has only one co-passenger. In the middle of the night, they happen to look at each other and he is quite surprised to find that the stranger in his cabin is a spitting image of himself. Both the men chuckle at this remarkable coincidence, and have a long friendly chat. The fleeing man confides in the stranger about his predicament. The stranger says that he would be glad to help, by switching identities, as he is leaving the country shortly and won't be discovered.
Our protagonist is desperate. He is grateful to the stranger for taking the blame, and saving him. He thanks the stranger effusively. They exchange their papers, and they part ways.
The next day, the protagonist goes about a different town, with his new identity. Shortly, he is arrested by the authorities.
"Please, Sir. I am very sorry. I will return the money.", he tells the police.
"What money?", asks a policeman.
"Er....", stammers the man.
"Is this you?", asks the cop, looking up from his new papers.
"Yes.", the man confirms.
"You are under arrest for a series of murders.", says the cop.=================
As a child, I thought this was an allegory for the human condition. We all want to run from our problems, and exchange them for someone else's problems, since we think that the grass is greener on the other side.
As an adult, I realize that this might be an allegory for Xtianity. Some stranger offers to take the blame for your petty crimes, and gets you to be obligated to them. Except, your rap sheet is barely 50 years long, and this guy is complicit in 2000 years of murders, rapes, and other atrocities.

@alice Another side note: this is one of my favorite movies ever. At the very least it's the most underappreciated movie I know of. Here is a (spoilery) review of it by Addy Lovestar, a trans woman who unfortunately has not yet joined the Fediverse.
