I know, and have even worked on some of this. I just sort of presume that for the State, the giant database is actually the point.

Cookie banners have been a blight on the internet. Worse than the old scourge of pop-up advertisements! They need to die entirely. The idea has failed. Nobody reads any of it. If you want to ban targeted ads, do that. Let's see if the EU can correct, politico.eu/article/europe…

Damn, back in 2019 I actually predicted a npm virus spreading "by the end of 2025" in the same way this one did (postinstall scripts) in this conference talk: youtube.com/watch?v=okrB3a… krebsonsecurity.com/2025/09/self-r…

@BertilFruelund Det er fuldstændig gakkelak. Og repræsentere en skræmmende lav teknologiforståelse. Signal, WhatsApp, iMessage og de andre krypterede tjenester kommer aldrig til at føje Danmark med en bagdør, så reelt bliver de bare ulovlige. Og så bliver vi alle gjort kriminelle. Fedt.

LLMs have proved most of humanities accumulated knowledge can be held in 8GB of RAM – or in 10 Chrome tabs.

Most of my career has been being a CRUD monkey. I don't want to go back to FTP, but most apps can just be one deployable on Heroku/Google App Engine/etc with Django or RoR. I can use k8s, but it's almost always unnecessary.

I expect it'd struggle a bit, but if it can just clean and water plants without breaking things, that's actually worth it. Looking forward to the @FrameworkPuter build!
