The difference in results between Scandinavia and the rest of the EU is very interesting. A well-working educational system is clearly the best weapon against fascism.

Software Engineering. Most software is basically just houses of cards, developed quickly and not maintained properly (to save money ofc). We will see some serious software collapses within our lifetime.

Great! Like installing square wheels on my bike

I am from Denmark. I have spent the last 10 years fighting to get schools and government institutions to switch away from American software.

What a waste of time, when all it takes is the threat of an imperialist take-over of Greenland to actually get my fellow countrymen to finally listen and act.

In seven and half million years it will print "42" to its terminal

Angry and nihilistic teenagers used to have tech skills and laptops. Now they have iPads and TikTok.

I am Danish and have been to Greenland. This is seriously impressive, because the people of Greenland are the absolute nicest I have ever met.

Story time: I was getting a lift from a local on his boat, when we passed a small dingy out in the middle of nowhere. The two Greenlanders (a mother and son) in the dingy waved us over to show us all the salmon and cod they had caught. Then they refused to let us leave, before giving us half of their fishy riches. The mother told us "if you had a giant apple tree in your garden, wouldn't you share the apples with all your townsfolk".

I fucking love Greenland and their people.

Employees that get fired over dumb-ass CEO decisions should be able to sue the crap out of the company. Let's make it easier to kill the companies that do this shit.

Fucking scary how quickly people are willing to denounce a protest, just because it causes slight inconvenience for the everyday citizen. THAT IS THE FUCKING POINT! We're so addicted to convenience, and the only way people will wake up from their consumption-hypnosis, is through forced inconvenience.

The related stories are just as funny/tragic:

While we're at it, give Kurdistan back to the Kurds as well

Danish person here. Every single person in my friend group, and even my pretty apolitical parents are actively boycotting American products.

And while you're at it, have more children.

For the working class, the industrial revolution was not a step forward. It took a lot of time, hard union work and political regulation to wrangle the beast that was the industrial revolution.

"extremely rare" is a way of saying second most common that I haven't heard before.

The amateur game dev community is thriving like never before. Itch.io has become Newgrounds on steroids, full of incredibly creative, fun and free games.

People like to complain about what has been lost on the modern internet, without spending any time actually looking and trying out the new niches.

I rarely enjoy schadenfreude, but I will savor every moment of the fall of Mr. Beast, the cancer of YouTube.

Exceptionalism and nationalism has more to do with the propaganda people are being fed, and less with the actual reality they are living. It will take more than a hard downturn in quality-of-life I think.

'Kys' simply means 'kisses' in Danish. I refuse to read it as any other meaning.

I run a Makerspace and teach technology to kids. I don't think they are getting worse, but the difference between the lowest and highest skilled is bigger than ever before.

Those who are interested, learn so fucking fast and so thoroughly, because they have things like YouTube tutorials and Discord chat groups with like-minded nerds to teach themselves. BUT at the same time, it's easier to just remain a consumer, and never gain any deeper knowledge.

I think curiosity and attention are quickly becoming the most important skills by far.
