This is a depressingly utilitarian view of reading.

Looks like the encryption charges mentioned in the arrest warrant are no longer there.

I'd love to know more about the specific laws the prosecution is resting their case on.

Thanks for expanding on the site's origins.

Using reader mode enables me to read it.

What a weird site, can't seem to scroll it? It wants to install some weird app?

Yeah, someone either doesn't know Danish or the translation service sucks.

The minister wants to shut down the service, not will shut them down.

A huge luxury sailing yacht "Bayesian" with a couple of very rich people on board sank recently in a storm.

Thanks a lot for linking that piece, it's a great read.

That said, I don't believe that the fact that Swatch owned Omega and Blancpain was known outside watch nerd circles until very recently.

The Swatch x {Omega,Blancpain} watches are fascinating to me. I wonder how much "brand damage" this inflicts on 2 iconic watch designs. For a long time it seemed like Swatch didn't really advertise their ownership of many premium watch brands. Now it seems to have shifted.

Literally reacted with a "what year is it" gif, this is something that looks like it was written in 2022.

To be fair, Google isn’t the only voice pushing for TLS being the default. It’s practically dogma in tech circles generally.

Wow, the court system moves fast in the UK.

On the other hand, this dude made it easy for it to do so:

> Kay used his own name and profile picture on his account, while advising others on “staying anon” and saying he had “watched enough CSI programmes” and would “categorically not be arrested”. He also tagged Northamptonshire police force in one of his posts.

Just decided today to re-read the entire series.

As a Swede it amazes me that some countries allow parking "in the wrong direction". I've never even thought about it, and I don't know if it's a written rule (I'm sure it is, just it;s been a long time since I got my license).

This is addressed later in the piece:

> The reason for this is that all the High Streets in Inner London are called Something High Street. [...]

> Something High Streets in Inner London: Aldgate, Battersea, Borough, Bromley, [...]

I'm not sure "Copilot" is the positive brand MS seems to believe it is.

I'd love to read the original Swedish article but it's paywalled. It's possible they could tell that driver fell asleep south of Mjölby but was noticed by the police there.

Check your map, it's around 210km by the closest route (E4).

The article mistranslates the Swedish term "mil" (1 mil == 10 km) into English/US miles. According to the summary and the map, the car drove around 250 km.

Considering the amount of images and video of real devastation wrought around the world in real wars, it's disappointing that the artists went for pseudo-saccharine neon "nice" devastation.

From 2020.

Try learning to count in Danish.

I sometimes use a digital wristwatch just to mix things up and I have a tough time sometimes translating how long to wait for pasta to cook - on an analog face, 11 minutes is easy to represent visually, but with a digital I have to do math in my head.

Prussia lasted until 1947 (de jure) even if it had been subsumed into the German Reich in 1932:

Well this will make the neo-puritans happier.

Title should be "The real Miss Julie".

Indeed. Which makes all his subsequent contortions all the more absurd.

From the article:

> For nasal rinsing, the CDC recommends using boiled, sterile, or distilled water. "If tap water is used, it should be boiled for a minimum of 1 minute, or 3 minutes in elevations >1,980 meters, and cooled before use,"
