France is about to pass the worst surveillance law in the EU.

Don't know how this could be the worst when Sweden is literally trying to do the same. Signal messenger threatens to leave the country if they install backdoors in their app. Even the Swedish Armed Forces is flagging that this might be a bad idea since they are using Signal. But we also have other interesting privacy laws such as the "FRA-law" that enables the government to listen to all incoming and outgoing data to and from Sweden.

"No nation is older than 250"

Sweden has technically only existed since 1523 when we got our independance from Denmark. Norway has been under both Sweden and Denmark for numerous years until 1905 when the Swedish-Norwegian union ended. Denmark on the other hand has existed atleast since 863 as that is the first time it is mentioned. So it depends on how you count.

Ubisoft Closes Canadian Studio After It Unionizes

I get where you're coming from but unions should not be mandated, they need to be formed for the actual workers that want things to change for the better. Just look at Sweden for a good example of how to implement unions at almost all workspaces without the need for the state to be involved.

Nu ska gamla nattågen mellan Stockholm och Narvik bytas ut

Brukar ofta ta nattågen mellan Kiruna och Stockholm. Väldigt mysig tur som tar ganska lång tid. Största problemen med det är.

  1. Finns inget internet mellan Kiruna och Luleå, extremt begränsat mellan Luleå och Umeå och sen finns det hur mycket som helst. Så att jobba på vägen är problematiskt.
  2. Om det är för kallt så byts tågen ut mot bussar mellan Narvik och Boden. Vilket resulterar i förseningar och i mitt fall ett missat byte i Stockholm.
  3. Det är billigare att flyga till Stockholm än att ta tåget.
