Det låter bra, men verkar inte vara etablerat. Jag får inga träffar alls på det. Har du några exempel på tunga aktörer som har använt det uttrycket?

2026-02-27 07:48:56 UTC

Finns det något etablerat svenskt begrepp för "climate stripes" / "warming stripes"? Jag funderar på att översätta den engelska Wikipediaartikeln om det till svenska och behöver välja något att döpa den till. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warming_stripes #Wikipedia #klimat

But even more heartwarming was to see that all attendees got a copy of the latest version of the Standard for Public Code in their goodie bag. If you don't know about it, the #StandardForPublicCode was developed to enable collaboration when public organizations develop #OpenSource. My hope is that with 300 more people, arguably self-identified to be in the target group, getting the hands on it, collaboration may flourish soon. You can check it out at https://www.standardforpubliccode.org/

I am a bit confused about the recent (last couple of months) inflow in open source projects of accounts new to the projects asking to assign issues to them. At first, I thought it was a GitHub exclusive issue, but now I have seen it in #Wikimedia Phabricator too, that comment even with quotation marks around it. Does anyone have any idea why this happens now?

#goodmorning from a partly cloudy #Amsterdam and congratulations to your family. I'm celebrating my own 49th birthday today, started off with a 5 km morning run. Today I am looking forward to a lot of ice cream eating but will also be doing some physio to strengthen a weak rotator cuff that has been causing pain.

I did a small video with @npub1auk…aqva this week and was positively surprised that it was much easier to use now than a few years back. I can't point to anything specific that was improved, just that I remembered it to be more finicky, but now it was just smooth and fluid. It wasn't a big or complicated project, but had a few twists that was just fun to do. Thanks for all the work you do!

This morning I woke up and checked the maps app to see how close to the Netherlands we were and thought the GPS had a hiccup because it showed we were in Hannover. And after a short while at the station, we got ushered off the train that would stop there and got instructed to catch a DB intercity to Amsterdam instead. That one came and left just a few minutes out of its schedule and if this plan holds up, it will be a >2 hour delay.

This train departed on time, that makes 4 out of 5 on the entire trip.
Definitely an older type of car, but it seems like I got the compartment for myself, which is a nice bonus.
Now only wait for the train host to get the bed unfolded.

Okay, time to get home! This should in theory be an even simpler trip. First the ÖBB NightJet to Vienna, and then tomorrow evening the same to Amsterdam. One transfer and 10 hours between the trains. We rolled away exactly on schedule!

The night was uneventful and quite quiet. So even less exciting border crossing into Italy. A bit chilly though as the blanket was thin and short. Coffee delivered to the door was a nice touch. The toilet was, and has stayed, fresh. Not clear yet if we will arrive on time or not.

The night train rolled in early, so relaxed boarding, and then it left on time. A lot to say about the mini cabins, but I think I will keep it short by saying that they earn their name but also that it is nice to have a room for myself.

The second border crossing, Germany to Austria just after Passau, was just as uneventful as the one between the Netherlands and Germany. Better scenery, though, rolling along the Donau.
EDIT: it was along the Donau to Passau, but leaving it was along the Inn.

Second leg also went well. We were 15 minutes late to Nürnberg, but there was 30 minutes for the connection, so I managed to get some fruit while waiting. Despite the train arriving 10 minutes early, it left a few minutes late. This stretch has quite a lot of passengers.

I finished reading The Ministry of the Future by Kim Stanley Robinson last night (or early this morning is probably more accurate).

Not because I think I would have done a lot different, but as that book is so well-known, and also well worth a read, it feels like required reading when dabbling with ideas like this.

Idag fyller svenskspråkiga #Wikipedia 23 år! Den bästa födelsedagspresenten ni kan ge är att rätta ett fel ni stöter på eller uppdatera en föråldrad artikel. Allt hänger på att frivilliga hjälper till att underhålla denna ovärderliga resurs. Har ni inte tid, går det också att ge en slant (det finns en "Stöd Wikipedia" knapp i vänsterspalten).
