Having lost myself in Pillars of Eternity (excellent) I realised a thing about RPGs. You spend the game collecting items of clothing, many ancient and mouldy, many from sweaty corpses. And you don't wash any of them. (1/4) Trousers from a dude I just murdered, who probably shat himself? I'm having those. Extremely sweaty boots? You betcha! A helmet full of lice and dandruff? Yes please! (2/4)

In Stockholm there's currently an IT battle underway. The city's local government, @Stockholmsstad, spent 1 billion Swedish crowns (100 million dollars) over 7 years to build a massive do-everything school IT platform, which students, teachers and parents are forced to use. And their app is awful. Slow, buggy, almost unusable. One parent managed to access other people's private data, leading to @Stockholmsstad being fined for bad security. So a few parents decided, since the data is basically their data, to build their own better version.
