Inside Denmark’s struggle to break up with Silicon Valley

From a media blockade to “nationalizing” government software, Denmark has become a laboratory for resisting U.S. Big Tech. But is the price of sovereignty too high?

  I Hate Github Actions with Passion

I can’t overstate how much I hate GitHub Actions. I don’t even remember hating any other piece of technology I used. Sure, I still make fun of PHP that I remember from times of PHP41, but even then I didn’t hate it. Merely I found it subpar technology to other emerging at the time (like Ruby on Rails or Django). And yet I hate GitHub Actions. With Passion2. Road to Hell Day before writing these words I was implementing build.rs for my tmplr project. To save you a click - it is a file/project scaffold tool with human readable (and craftable) template files. I (personally) use it very often, given how easy it is to craft new templates, by hand or with aid of the tool, so check it out if you need a similar tool.

Some people really get on my nerves. Like I know they're probably OK but the sort of performative anger at global events and the finger wagging at everyone. Just feels like a clout play.

HAS ANYONE ACTUALLY NOTICED POLITICS AND STUFF LATELY IT IS BAD WHOS WITH ME ALSO WHO LIKES PIZZA

I suppose that is engagement for people who aren't clinically insane. But are they just furious all of the time? I feel like this is the polarisation - the online algorithmic echochamber we talk about. Have a day off dude. That doesn't need to be your whole brand. Enjoy some fruit. Smell the trees. Take in a show. Find a body of water and jump into it. Call an old friend. Make love to yourself under the moonlight. Make something with gravy then have too much gravy. Write your memoirs. Scare a goose. Straighten your hair and howl at a stranger. Learn how to do a backflip. Chant an ancient curse and summon the End Times. Grapple a boa constrictor. Burn all of your clothes. See how far you can throw a pineapple. Grieve the loss of your childhood innocence. Raise cattle from foals and then when fully reared release them into the wild. Become a famous weather presenter. Jump a motorcycle over 14 buses. Macrame an indoor plant hanger. Submit a winning entry to a book competition. Undergo extensive plastic surgery then run away to live in the forests of Paraguay. Enter and triumph at a Chris De Burgh lookalike contest. Never eat bread again. Evolve gills and live underwater. Bio-engineer a dragon. Recreate the Sistene Chapel in a Wetherspoons. I could go on.
