  • A humanist here, working in the cultural heritage (which is also increasingly digital) field.

    I reckon I have more computer skills than an average user but in no way I am a “techie”. It’s just that I know how to search for tech solutions and am not afraid of breaking the computer. Due to using Unity I also have some experience with C# and currently I am trying to learn python (mostly just for fun but you’ll never know if it ends up being helpful at some point).

    So definetily not a tech person, but interested in both the humanist and technological side if life.



  • There is an easy way to end the war: Russian withdrawal. It really is as simple as that.

    At any point in history Russian Federation had no right or business to occupy any part of Ukraine. It was up to Ukraine to decide what to do with those areas.

    While we all want the war to stop, it cannot be done at any price. Ukraine must be allowed to return the areas stolen from it and Russia must return to pre 2014 borders. Either they do it willingly or with force. No one likes it, but it’s Russia that chose to attack, not Ukraine.

    I hope your friends are safe, but at the same time I hope they have the sense to leave Crimea until things settle.

    And let’s hope for peace, but recognize that it cannot be achieved by giving into the offender’s demands.









  • Not counting the obvious blackmail aspect of the Two Pence Sultan’s demand, the whole idea is stupid.

    EU and NATO are separate organizations with separate structures. While most of EU are NATO members, NATO issues aren’t, shouldn’t and cannot be decided in EU bodies. I’d be very surprised if anyone in EU (including Sweden) would change their stance towards Turkey unless they themselves undergo fundamental changes to match the applicant criteria.

    Unless Erdogan has his head totally up in his own arse, He knows this. He’s probably upping the ante to later back off and make a deal on some other issue that has been too much for NATO or the US up to this point.

    Ofcourse this is just my reading of the situation and I’m not an expert on Turkey or international policy. It just seems to fit Erdogan’s Modus operandi.
