Also friday (Frigg, wife of Odin)

Pass it forward is a good English phrase we don’t have in my language

No mobile platform is secure. Even EncroChat was broken.

This is a case all over. At uni I rented near a elementet school (year 1-7 which is 5/6 to 12/13 years old in Norway) and it was massive driving hazards there as well. My aunt also worked an elementary school and they had to have staff patrol the drop off/pick-up area each day, and put up barriers and chicanes because of dangerous driving by stressed parents.

I now deliver my kid by foot to kindergarten and here they built a proper delivery zone for both schools and kindergarten forcing people to drop school children (that can walk alone) far off and a well planned logistical sound one for the kindergarten. Not perfect but it’s something

My mother worked in Germany in the late 60s (We are Norwegian) and her boss’ (and life long friend of the family) husband was 16 when he was literally drafted from HJ to the SS in early 45. He was a good jugend and it was an “honor” and such BS. But having spent all his childhood in nazi Germany he knew nothing else. He was captured by the Russians in Czechoslovakia and spent 5 years as a POW and the only reason he made it as far as becoming a POW was his age and because the SS NCOs made sure he didn’t get the SS serial number tattoo since he was so young.

God knows how he manages to survive, but I never knew him to not eat every morsel of food on his plate, and he never talked about his experience.

I shed no tears for Nazis, but I do shed tears for the duped and the “innocents” of any conflict.

Eisenhower, the last good republican

Norwegian here. I quit reddit and joined Lemmy after the API debacle. Installed mint because of W11. (A big factor was how Steam and proton enables me to play games)

Can’t say either Lemmy or Linux has gotten any media attention in the big news sources as far as I can see.

I am the only one in my circle of friends that quit Reddit (most follow the various 40k reddits, and they have no replacement in federated options)

Bill Bryson in “made in America” reference this I think

Kids with little experience perhaps. And morons.

Wasn’t Eisenhower the last of those republicans?

Like Terry Pratchett said: Bad times make good men

Good men make good times

Good times make bad men

Bad men makes bad times

Can understand that, but I feel it’s dumbed down. Better to state the increase and then say it’s relative to [some relatable fact] perhaps?

I don’t like to use relative numbers to illustrate the increase. 48% can be miniscule or enormous based on the emission last year.

While I don’t think the increase is miniscule it’s still an unessesary ambiguity.

I installed Mint (no idea mint was old tbh) looked into Gentoo and tried the live boot USB option. 'This looks nice, no how do I install" The install option opened a web page (gentoo wiki) with several options for guides based on various permutations. All options send you in a ring without actually telling me how to install.

I went back to Mint as it does the few things I need a PC to do these days:

Some kind of office suite with spreadsheet and word processor, Steam, Netflix and Prime, Firefox

Added bonus is that it runs MegaMek natively AND i don’t need to read pages of documentation, just click install.

What’s the issue? I installed mint because I know fuckall about Linux, and tbh it’s a dice toss if I have used the Flatpak option not knowing what the actual difference between them are

Norwegian here. Not that often I think of India tbh, but here is a short bullet point list

• Massive overpopulation
• Rich and dirt poor at the same time
• Castes
• Politically governed by nationalists
• Rape stories
• Massive market thats the only reason we care about India
• Good tech industry (moon landing?)
• Don’t go to Kashmir
• Holi
• Bollywood
• “Indian” food (know that some protein in some sauce with nan and rice is not all an entire subcontinent can offer)

Last show I saw about India was that James May show on Amazon

Demotivationals?!! I have not seen these for over 12 years. Let’s bring them back

Well done both. 1,5 year here. Not addicted but wanted my now 1,5 year old to never have a dad to hungover to do stuff or have even the slightest change of personality because of drink.

Cheap sub contractors need so much constant control to make sure things are delivered on spec that it is almost like it costs more than to hire the more expensive company with a reputation for solid work

Those really, extremely wide JNCO jeans. Other than that I still wear Billabong sweater with baggy jeans sporting Oakleys. Hairs to thin to frost the tips, but I don’t care. Or about the rolling eye stare from my wife
