If you liked this experiment, I published a full piece today in the same vein: a text that gets 100 years older with every section, from a modern blog post to a medieval chronicle. It's a single story spanning 1000 years of English. See how far you get. www.deadlanguagesociety.com/p/how-far-ba...

I've been working on this for ages in various countries: the story of the intelligence buildup to Putin's 2022 invasion. How did the US and Britain find out so much, and why were Europe and Ukraine sceptical. It's a long one: www.theguardian.com/world/ng-int...

The Dig (LucasArts) was released 30 years ago! I love this game, considered graphically dated when it was released, but has aged so well. 👌 The Dig is still available on Steam and GOG, don't miss it!

Looks like someone took our ball and ran with it, and continued with a fully portable C++ port of Second Reality - including a browser version! www.jsr-productions.com/secondrealit... Finally we can replace DOOM as "the thing you run on things"! 💪

Danmark börjar prata om en exitstrategi från amerikanska molntjänster, Norge varnar på liknande sätt. I Sverige har kommuner blivit techjättarnas reklampelare för molntjänster. Men nu kommer varningar, och myndigheter har börjat samordna sig för ”digital suveränitet”. www.dn.se/sverige/varn...

Varningen: ”Microsoft kan stänga ner Sverige”

Risk att Trump använder techjättarna som vapen för att påverka andra länder – fler varnar för dålig ”digital suveränitet”.
