  • Companies gather data from many routine digital touchpoints: web and app tracking (cookies, pixels, and device fingerprinting), geolocation from phones and browsers, and in-store sensors.

    I understand that collecting data from the browser and apps can change the price for items we typically order online. But the article mention groceries and fuel, aren’t those items typically bought in a store? How does my browsing have any impact on what I pay for a piece of bread?

    I have not deleted so many apps and accounts, but I have stopped using them or reduced the usage.

    Windows 10 -> Linux but Windows 10 is still installed on another disk so technically it is dual boot even if I have not used Windows for months.

    Office -> Libre office

    Gmail and Hotmail -> Protonmail and Posteo

    Google maps -> Here maps and Comaps

    Onenote -> Notesnook



  • I have never heard of any celebration of fettisdagen except for eating a semla. And I can’t imaging drinking beer to a semla.

    They are really yummy, I recommend to try one. You can follow this recipe if you are ambitious and want to make your own. Otherwise the Vastenavond looks close enough so you can buy the bun for them and fill with almond paste and whipped cream.


  • Den 12 januari 1956 rapporterar DN att försäljningen av semlor redan ”tjuvstartat” i Helsingborg.

    Två år senare (1958) skriver DN igen om hur man i Skåne börjat sälja semlor redan i januari. Men redan före 1950-talet hade man börjat sälja semlor innan fettisdagen.

    Att tjuvstarta med semlorna ett par veckor innan fettisdagen får nog räknas som tradition vid det här laget.

    Det verkar som det är just skåningar som är extra förtjusta i semlor. Eller så gillar dom bara att bryta mot lagar och traditioner.
