The dream here, in FOSS terms, is that governments see the massive potential value in using FOSS, and start actively contributing to it.

Imagine if the German or Danish government puts the people on their IT payroll (who are now maintaining Microsoft systems) to maintain FOSS systems. This would be a huge benefit for everyone, if enough big actors do it, it may be what pushes stuff like Microsoft into being a niche service.

Fair enough, I’m just one of the people that massively prefers reading to videos, so I thought I would link the OP instead of asking you for it :)

The comic, for people that prefer reading over watching YouTube videos.

It’s fun to interact though :) and the graphics were really great! Thanks for posting them :)

No worries :) I think it was

The orange in the pic above are minimums for first-time employees

Which made me think you meant “minimum” as in “you must take this amount off”. I understand now that you meant “minimum” as in “employers must allow you to take this much time off”.

Hva mener du? Vi har fem uker lovfestet ferie i året (pluss røde dager), er ikke det ca. det samme som Storbritannia?

Norway here: This isn’t completely right.

We have a right to minimum 20 days off every year, however they’re not paid the first year. Every year, you “earn up” next years vacation. When you switch jobs, the job you’re leaving will typically pay out your outstanding vacation money. To take an example:

• Year 1 (job A): 20 days off (0 paid)
• Year 2 (job A): 20 days off (20 paid by job A)
• Year 3 (job A/B): Switch jobs to job B, get 20 days of pay from job A when leaving. 20 days off (0 paid by job B).
• Year 4 (job B): 20 days off (20 paid by job B).

This effectively means that the only year in your life when you will be without 20 days paid vacation is your first year of employment.

Also, there are some minimum requirements regarding how much vacation you have to take, but you’re not required to take out all 20 days (as your post seemed to indicate).

All the above of course applies outside of public holidays, which are always paid.

I’m not an expert by any means here, but my impression is that it at some point comes down to a tradeoff between security/anonymity and having a fast enough connection. TOR slows you down much more than an ordinary VPN is what I’ve heard.

You don’t need to pretend education was perfect before in order to realise that it’s getting worse and try to reverse the trend.

You also don’t need to pretend it was perfect before in order to see that the proliferation of LLM’s is harming education.

English has a lot of influence from both Germanic and Latin, to the point where I don’t think it’s reasonable to classify it as a strictly “Germanic” language.

There are plenty of English words that can be traced to old Norse (i.e. Norwegian Viking occupiers, raiders, and/or traders).

Cause this is the internet, where you can say whatever you want and nothing is real.

In all honesty, I love both rakfisk and lutefisk. They are fantastic and wildly underrated food. I will die on this hill.

Oh, and sursild, sennepssild, and all that other good sild stuff. That’s also awesome.

The swedes can keep the surströmning to themselves though. That shit is not fit for human consumption.

culturally appropriate tasty

Screams in northern Scandinavian

People ditching their PC because they don’t need it anymore doesn’t explain that the relative share of Mac and Linux has increased for the past 15 years though. Unless for some reason Windows users are more likely to ditch their PC because they don’t need it than Mac or Linux users.

It can also be noted that the trend over time for the “unknown” category (which stands for 8 % today) follows the same trend as Linux. I don’t think it’s unreasonable to assume that Linux is over-represented in the “unknown” category, and may actually be closer to 5-7 %.

Also completely neglecting that not all the energy in a slap will be transferred to thermal energy in the chicken.

Aha! I can tell I am totally unqualified to speak on what they do and do not address. Thanks for informing me :)

How many are there now? I didn’t know there was more than like two (maybe three?) movies, is there more?

They don’t address any of that. It’s essentially an “every person for themselves” situation, where those that can afford it hole up in highly secured homes, while people living on the streets are hunted for sport.

The do mention crime within households when this one guy sneaks into his girlfriends home and tries to shoot her father though. However, nothing like what you’re mentioning.

Still remember the first time I saw this. It was the last time I touched YouTube for a looong time.

It would cost them absolutely nothing to show a feed of hot/high rated/popular videos. Throwing in some entropy such that it doesn’t only show the most viewed videos globally wouldn’t be hard at all either. They’re just openly stating that they don’t want you there at all if they can’t track your viewership.
