Är det inte förvånande att Sverige ligger så dåligt till i den här EU-mätningen av ”open data maturity (ODM)”, med tanke på offentlighetsprincipen mm? Nån som kan något om dett…

Added a zoom level to the Category page on the Exocortex-Log app. Can make the graphs look a lot cleaner now.
Looking back over the last 100 months here, we can see in general my social life is quite seasonal -- Festivals are a lot of social all weekend long and a couple of them in a month really bumps up the hours from my usual habit of sitting alone in a dark room pressing buttons.
The peak in 2019 is a summer filled with Glasto and Noisily and another festival or camping trip I don’t seem to have recorded the name of.
Then clearly visible is the drop-off in social activity as the COVID pandemic hit. Virtual-Social (IE zoom meetings and the like) picked up quite a bit around there but had died back to almost nothing way before the hours spent with actual people started to tick up.
Annoyingly, I have my biggest gap in data right on top of the pandemic there, where I failed to back up for months and then data became corrupted.
When the data-hole is over we see social life still not really returning until the middle of 2021 and not really getting back into stride until summer 2022.
It remains much lower now on average with lower peaks than before the pandemic too. Multiple reasons.
Work is pretty constant all the way though other than the data-hole. Dipping when I take time off for social mostly.
That data-hole is annoying. Back up your data kids.

Report finds increased tropical forest regrowth over the last decade
Natural forest regrowth in the world’s tropical rainforests is expanding. According to the Forest Declaration Assessment 2025, more than 11 million hectares (27 million acres) of tropical moist forests are under some stage of forest regrowth between 2015 and 2021. The growth is most notable in the tropical areas of Latin America, where regrowth increased […]

I love Deerhoof’s Actually, You Can not just as a great, fun album but as a time capsule from an optimistic moment. In late 2021, we seemed to be emerging from the shadows of Trump and Covid-19—who’d have thought the Four Seasons presser and the vaccines, respectively, didn't end them? The music bottles up joyful, radical imaginings of a better world that were in the air since the George Floyd rebellion, not yet extinguished by the reactionary “crime” panic to come.

Back in April, District Court Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers delivered a scathing judgment
finding that Apple was in “willful violation” of her 2021 injunction
intended to open up iOS App Store payments.
That contempt of court finding has now been almost entirely upheld by the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals,
a development that Epic Games’ Tim Sweeney tells Ars he hopes will
“do a lot of good for developers and start to really change the App Store situation worldwi…

Apple loses its appeal of a scathing contempt ruling in iOS payments case
But Sweeney warns iOS devs are still afraid of “totally illegal” retaliation by Apple.

We're gathering momentum for slipmux, a transport of #CoAP over serial ports. That specification allows #embedded developers on simple boards that just have a UART to use the same tools with it as for talking to devices across the Internet. This includes security: I guess I just sent the first encrypted…

This fall, Americans got to see what it’s like to go without a safety net for the hungry.
With the U.S. government shut down for multiple weeks
and Donald Trump refusing to fund SNAP, the federal food stamp program,
a panic set inamong the more than 40 million people who rely on it.
Families skipped meals,
and babies went unfed.
Food banks ran out of food, and some people turned to dumpster diving.
It was just a glimpse of what’s to come.

Wave of Tax Cuts Has Left Many States Vulnerable to Trump SNAP and Medicaid Crisis
President Donald Trump’s so-called One Big Beautiful Bill Act will shift billions in costs for SNAP and Medicaid to states. But with 26 having cut or eliminated state income taxes just since 2021, they may not have the money to continue the programs.

'Warrior' Mac Jones lifts 49ers again, vindicating Kyle Shanahan and buying Brock Purdy time https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/6685997/2025/10/03/mac-jones-kyle-shanahan-49ers-rams/

I watched E.T. (1982) recently. I remember seeing it as a kid but couldn't remember much except "phone home". I didn't like the child actors to be honest but the rubber puppet worked so well when it was lying on its "death bed" 😭
Surprised by the swear words they used though. Shit, dick....🫢 I wanted to see what the neighbourhood looks like today as it was a newly built suburbia in 1982. Turns out, somebody already did the research!
