Radicale? radicale.org/v3.html I have not used it much myself yet. Its very minimal and focused on calendar stuff.
- Comment on That time when Microsoft bought and killed Nokia phone unit 1 week ago:
I waited through meamo, meego, and tizen hoping for it to take off. Went with Firefox OS and Ubuntu touch instead, which had very little to offer. Not too long ago I felt I had to give up and go with android, and dream of a world where nokia would have taken the meamo/meego/tizen path instead.

- Comment on With public key cryptography, why can't someone decrypt a message using the public key? 5 weeks ago:
No, it can be very important. As I answered in another comment, its called padding en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Padding_(cryptography). And to see that it is imortant say you encrypt your easy to remember password in an encrypted file. Now if your attack was possible, having your public key, you could just generate the passwords and encrypt them to figure out your password. Much easier than trying to find your key. Using forms of padding, that does not work.
- Comment on With public key cryptography, why can't someone decrypt a message using the public key? 5 weeks ago:
Well, you use “padding” to solve those things. Like if you type “hello”, your implementation of the whole algorithm should do something like: take the string, add some random string that is tagged in some way, and then encrypt. At decryption, you get a string with some random stuff in it, but you filter the tag and return only the message. Like “hello” -> “[trash]kfkidkeb[/trash] hello”, add and remove the “[trash]” block, before encryption and after decryption, respectively
- Comment on Sulfur Better than Hydrogen for Energy Storage, Engineers Find 5 weeks ago:
She is not a journalist, she is a physicist. Even in physics her takes are not that impressive. What she has been pushing for years is something like “the mainstream theoretical physics is wrong because I want it to be, so we should stop encouraging it by not making their experiments and start doing small less costly experiments”. The problem being there are rarely any ideas for any such things.
- Comment on Italians' and Swedes' gestures vary when they tell stories, which may show cultures think differently about narratives 1 month ago:
Italians are sterotypically thought of as having a lot of hand gestures, and the study seems to confirm it. Are Swedes also typically more likely to use hand gestures to others? The article says the Italians seem to have about twice as frequent hand gestures.
Just a general question I have to how influenced Swedish culture is by Italian. I think that it was quite common with Italian immigrants in Sweden after ww2, and it seems like Swedish has some words directly borrowed from Italian: fattura/faktura, provare/prova. Maybe also hand gestures are influenced?

- Comment on USB hubs, printers, Java, and more seemingly broken by macOS 14.4 update 1 month ago:
I cannot even agree to that. Like I get that the settings takes minutes to reload after a reboot. And I need to get in there because it always resets my mouse speed to the slowest possible. But I cannot change it because there are no settings for the mouse directly after a fresh boot! It is so absurd.

- Comment on Rule of law declining across EU, report warns 1 month ago:
The far-right part that now supports the government, some of the inner circle joind the part when they were famous for being a very active neo-nazi group, the current party leader joined the party like 2 years after the party were demonstrating support for a racist massmuderer in sweden, and there is a photo of one of them embracing a literal nazi SS veteran. A party front figure also around the last election basically called Anne Frank “horniness itself” in an instagrampost while listening to Kanye (after the whole ‘deathcon 3’ stuff), and during the election night said basically the swedish version of ‘seig heil’, but substituted ‘heil’ for the swedish word for ‘weekend’. One of the parties of the current government promissed a holocaust survivor to never collaborate with this party, but she died before the election, so now they lie about that promise. Anyway…
Last election, that party, with connections to literal SS nazis from germany, covered subway trains in their party colors and said about the trains: "Welcome to the deportation train. You have a one-way ticket. Next stop, Kabul”.
- Comment on Rule of law declining across EU, report warns 1 month ago:
You’d hope. The only one of these that sparked some protest was the one about public servants. Many unions protested that one, I think it was something like enough unions to represent 30% of the population or something. But what seems to be happening is that they’ll single out one group, like teachers, and excuse all others from the law, they are too weak to put up enough pressure by themselves. Then they go on to the next.
The rest no one really cares about. In a quite segregated society, search zones will not target many ethnic swedes. So they don’t care.
Then the largest opposition party is trying to trump the rightwing parties in how authoritarian and xenophobic they can be, so they mostly say nothing.
- Comment on Rule of law declining across EU, report warns 1 month ago:
In Sweden, some of the policies about to be implemented, being evaluated, and lauded:
- search zones; temporary zones where the police don’t need suspicion before a search of someone. This while a report came out recently which shows that when it comes to drug possession, the police does this to immigrants anyway, basically.
- improper behavour should get you deported. You would not have to commit a crime to get deported. Just “improper behaviour” should be enough. In comments, politicians commenting the implementation of this law has said that being a victim of a crime should be qualifying for this law, like assaulted.
- no politics at universities. In an extreme anti free speech effort a swedish university banned “any conversation that can be interpreted as political by anyone hearing the conversation”. The minister for higher education, a member of the liberal party, praised the measures taken by the university. The policy was removed after a few days (it has been suspected that the policy was put in place to prevent a protest organized by a peace organization against an israeli weapons manufacturer that was invited to the uni.). The universities are still being threatened to with an investigation to root out “wokeism”.
- whole families of children commiting gang related crimes should be evicted from their homes.
- public servants should be required by law to rat out children from families who may not have all their papers in order. Doctors, nurses, teachers, librarians, and similar, it has been proposed, should be required to tell the police if they suspect a family, so that they can be deported.

- Comment on Every star in the sky is interacting with you through gravity 🌌 We are all connected to the universe around us. 2 months ago:
Eh. It’s not really a definite distinction. Even in GR you formulate effective potentials and the gradient on those potentials are still called forces. Then, what is a force on microscopic scale? It is the exchange of force mediators, like photons. If gravitons exists, then there is even a similar framework for defining a force on a microscopic level for electromagnetism as well as gravity. Furthermore, electromagnetism (qed) also has an interpretation as a curvature, as it is a gauge theory, just not a curvature of physical spacetime, and that does not disqualify if from being called a “force”.
