Ask the Scottish how they feel about Sweden exporting its culture a while ago.

What's this referring to?

these days I'm more afraid of cops than criminals to be honest.

Could you expand on your thoughts regarding why you're more afraid of cops in Sweden?

Signal provides a Registration Lock that is available in the settings for preventing this from happening to some degree, it's however opt-in and you need to set and remember a PIN.

That's a rather big claim and I would disagree.

That said, looking forward to paying 20 SEK per kWh, that'll be fun. Also, there's no wooden pellets or firewood for purchase no more - as it's all going to the continent.

Neat that the music in the trailer is done by the swede Simon Stålenhag who's also doing great retro art, which got turned into the quirky Tales From The Loop TV-series

Don't forget force-installing addons like Pocket as a service.. and.. Disney.

What does being accosted entail?

If it's a matter of being heckled or laughed at, surely one has to be able to deal with that and not scream bloody murder.

(We haven't had mask mandates here in Sweden, so your situation with masks seems peculiar and a bit weird from here)

I didn't say that either. According to Wikipedia, he does not have any shares.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vice_Media

  Owner Vice Media

  Shane Smith (20%)
  The Walt Disney Company (16%)
  A&E Networks (20%)
  TPG Capital (44%)
  Soros Fund Management (10%)
  James Murdoch (minority stake)

Gavin McInnes has no shares in Vice Media and he's been out of Vice for a long time, at least since 2008.

It's not mentioned in their post, but Mozilla VPN is a brand/browser integration of Mullvad, which is excellent, so that's what they're using underneath the branding.

You make it sound like all of it is from North America. There's import from the european continent and scandinavia as well.

Sweden exports a lot of wood pellets. Plenty of woodlands there. Plenty more to grow, if the Union will let them.

Wood pellets are "green" because the source material is replantable, albeit not that much locally for you. Seems like nothing is ever "green enough" though, besides a complete stop in consumption..

The distance from Sweden/Scandinavia/Continental europe is a lot less than from North America.

How's that increased democracy? Muzzle is also an interesting choice of words. It reminds me more of totalitarian utilitarianism, fascism or communism when you suddenly don't care about objections or "the little/common man".

Which usually, at least in Sweden means you'll get your data dump in a PDF. Not a joke, unfortunally.

I wouldn't leave an expensive laptop or camera in my car in Stockholm, Sweden. I certainly wouldn't in Paris, which is way worse.

Will reply here when resolved.

Seems other things came your way, but it seems like it's resolved now. There's plenty of stats on https://openlibrary.org/stats now and none are zero.

Come over to Sweden, things are quite dandy here.

Never thought I'd say that in a positive manner though.

Wish you the better and best.

donk_enby wants to be called she/her according to Twitter, unless you're speaking of someone else

In what way do nationalistic drive have everything in common with how wars start?

Don't forget, Facebook is the bane for privacy, not the EU.

To be fair, you can (and are probably) both right.

As of a hundred comments, none seem to have mentioned that this is not inherent in social media but in media in general.

Remember to take breaks from the news cycles (whatever flavor of news and outlet you prefer) and try to not get emotionally engaged in what is really quite distant from your actual life.

The news, wherever they come from and regardless of what they are about are mostly just a distraction from what actually matters, your own life, family and mission.

Sure, you can work around the labour laws in many ways, but he is likely referring to a normal full time employment contract as most people do when they talk about employment.

And he's not wrong in the figurative way, the labour laws are quite strict and the unions are in an impossibly strong standing in Sweden.

Not to be annoying, but can't this be said about most places? Like continental Europe.

What country did that happen in? Germany? Did anything happen to that person, besides being on that list?

* No matter how you do your analysis, tagging will make your life so much easier. Can't emphasize this enough.

Do you have any recommended resources for reading or tips on how and what to tag in what way for making ones AWS Life easier?

Oh, you mean like Firefox Sync?

Which was self-hostable.. Promised to be that once again, but still hasn't been opened up again.

Well, I'd argue that they are not 'absolutely garbage' and it's disingenuous to say it is based on a single video (not even that, just 10 seconds of one video) as well as not providing any kind of context.

The chart is from the video "Why is Modern Art so Bad?" published September 1, 2014 with artist Robert Florczak and is available here (5min 49sec): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lNI07egoefc

The chart you've linked is presented at 1min53sec (https://youtu.be/lNI07egoefc?t=113) and it's not a key part of his views or arguments. It's shorter than a talk-show skit, even if you don't agree to what he has to say, I suggest watching it.

I had not and your comment was not helpful in explaining the term either.

According to Wikipedia (if anyone cares..): "A food desert is an area, especially one with low-income residents, that has limited access to affordable and nutritious food. In contrast, an area with supermarkets or vegetable shops is a food oasis. The designation considers the type and quality of food available to the population, in addition to the number, nature, and size of food stores that are accessible. Food deserts are characterized by a lack of supermarkets which decreases residents' access to fruits, vegetables and other whole foods."

Or maybe the rules are too crazy to keep up with and not worth their time and resources?

Who knows.

Well... even if we do leave it at home, everyone else has at least one where ever you go..

That might very well be the case, but it was not quite portraited that way in the media for what I saw.
