I think it’s high time Finland retakes Karelia, on account of how thinly stretched Russia must be at this point.

I’d definitely come to Canada over the U.S as it stands today.

In another time, if the U.S manages to beat their fascism-issue, I’d like to go there as well.

There’s some cool nature there I’d like to see, so that’s one reason

School started teaching it at age 9, but really I had started picking it up myself so that I could actually understand how to play the Pokemon Cards by age 6-7 or so

So, to be clear, you get how that’s more than a little bit fucked up, right?

To demonstrate, imagine a deep southern U.S town instituting an English-only policy and aggressively turning away for example Spanish or Arabic-speakers.

This is not something to be celebrated. Ban the thing you actually want to prevent instead of pushing through unmitigated xenophobia.

Jellyfin is better anyway

I wish this were true, but as a multi-year Plex-to-Jellyfin migrant, I have to point out that Plex was the better software.

I still choose to run Jellyfin for other reasons (don’t like the commercial path Plex is taking, among others), but I still do miss the better reliability and larger feature set in the Plex software stack.

Betterridge’s Law of Headlines

See the One Book-theory from the podcast If Books Could Kill

Because all self-help books are basically the same and they all fit that bill

Pass. I hear China has a lot of spare renewable stuff on discount now that you’re no longer going to be trading with them, we’ll enjoy those instead.

It will go down as the most unforced error in history

It’s not going to be representative unless you compare it to the same cohort - tech stocks.

Sweden: Late Spring/Early Summer/Early Autumn, approximately May, June and September.

Temperatures between 15-25 °C, low humidity and lots of hours of daylight (18 hours in early June). Great conditions for biking and just all-round pleasant to be in.

Early Spring is too wet, Late Summer is too hot and humid, and Late Autumn is too wet and dark. Winter sucks, unless it’s an unusually cold year and we get consistent snow coverage. Wet and extremely dark.

I remember running some J2ME-stuff on the Sony Ericsson-phones, but it was generally quite incapable. Maybe it was a lack of creativity on my part, but then again, I was in my teens at this point

I thought the cutoff for Smartphones was Android/iOS/(Windows Phone)?

It becomes hard to draw a line otherwise. I had a few various Sony Ericsson non-Android phones back in the day, but the first phone I would call a smartphone was a ZTE Blade. It put me down the path of developing apps for Android, which is what I do for a living now, so that’s a little interesting.

The license gets paid to the main company, and hence not buying from their brands indirectly will hurt said brands, at least in the long term.

Incredibly weird thing to say with Russia just having spent around 2 decades routinely violating our airspace at Gotland, and with them quite literally cutting up our undersea cables in the Baltic on a weekly basis.

Same, but also apps

Technically correct, yes. Still has all of the hallmark negative effects of privatization.

I’ve managed to set up Summit to be close enough to the RiF-experience. Probably even a bit better.
