I’m not sure what insinuation you’re trying to make by saying that Sweden’s request to join NATO is ”haphazard”, but I’m pretty certain I don’t like it.
SIM cards requiring registrations is a development in the direction towards less privacy, I’ll give you that.
Lastly, since when has it been optional to be folkbokförd in Sweden?
So you're planning on paying for all of your health care out of pocket, then, since an insurance plan is right out if you don't want to help collectively shoulder the risk? I hope you've done extraordinarily well for yourself, in case you get sick.
Personally I haven't done that well and could not afford my costs if they weren't pooled with other people. I'm happy that in my case this is publicly funded, so I don't have to deal with profit-maximizing private insurance companies who are at every turn actively trying to find reasons not to cover me.
I'm also glad that people where I'm from who are less fortunate than me don't have to go without needed health care because they aren't able to get good enough jobs. In fact, I care much more about the latter than you or me being able to choose between a bunch of options. And if you're doing so well and that's what you want, private health care is typically still an option even in countries with publicly funded systems.
Sorry, by ”this thing”, do you mean an iPhone? That it looks less professional to use a phone than a dedicated card reader? I can see it, I was just genuinely a little thrown by the wording.
Very true. I think that mostly, web dev mainstream has taken a rational path. It’s with the benefit of hindsight as you say, or the yoke of unusual requirements, that people now say ”we did it all wrong”.
