We don’t have CBDC directly, but we’re as a society is primed for the day that launches. No one in Norway uses cash anymore, some stores even don’t have registers even though they required by law to support cash. Everything is digital, from purchases to doctors appointments. For Norwegian that transition should be swift, and in most cases welcomed.

We have digital ID in Norway. Not long ago every Norwegian citizen was forced to physically show their identification to the banks to make sure their digital ID matches. If you didn’t comply they would freeze your assets and in long run terminate them! This ID is linked to every official agency in Norway, making your citizenship a burden if you didn’t comply. It was a EU regulation brought on to us. With the basis that this was to fight money laundering and illegal activities.

Using AI to build tests on the code it just made for me.

As I’m waiting for my AI agent in VSCode finishing its task (which is the modern waiting for my Linux kernel på compile meme), I’m sitting here thinking. Am I only a servant for my AI. The monkey that presses continue, allow or skip. While the agent executes its command and changes I’m glued to the screen. Occupied, waiting for the AI to command ME for attention and actions. Surreal.

Walked by a elementary school today. On a digital whiteboard stood the text in bold black - count to 100. Must have been an amazing experience for the young kids. Digitizing everything should not be the goal. Even though it has brought the world closer and every corner of the world in reach, it’s somehow also extremely alienating. It’s too pixel perfect. Cold. Void. Instead of the teacher writing this on an old blackboard while creating engagement from the class, the teacher now can sit down and show a premade PowerPoint presentation. And we all love PowerPoint presentation don’t we? If feel sad for today’s youth experiencing the world in such a distant and fabricated moment.

One day until EU will vote to possible end all digital privacy. https://fightchatcontrol.eu/ This is not about security or protecting children! Criminals will always find other means of communication. This will impact every innocent citizen of the EU, and partners of EU such as Norway.

It’s a start. But still illegal to not report these holdings to the Norwegian government ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

As everything in life. If it’s digital then it’s not yours. It’s just a license to utilize that asset. Movies, games and now your own money. The problem is that most citizen in Norway trust the government and that everything they’ll do is in your best interest. I did too, once.

Installed Asahi Linux on my MacBook PRO M2 has been a great experience! It’s an incredible feat the team behind that distro have done! 💪 My only issue is not regarding Asahi, but Linux itself. Coming from MacOSX certain keybindings and shortcuts simply doesn’t exists on Linux, or is possible without any extensive hacks! One such thing it the difference between COMMAND and CTRL keybindings on MacOSX. CMD doesn’t exists as a thing in Linux, but when working in a terminal the usecases between CMD and CTRL feels huge. CTRL works as expected on MacOSX but CMD adds another level of copy+paste etc. But using Gnome Tweaks and switching key bindings I’ve come a long way and it’s now feels «native» to my as I’m used too. I figure it won’t take long now until MacOSX feels strange and not the other way around ッ
