“misidentified as a suspect” my ass. Correctly identified as a person of colour. I wish they would talk honestly about these things.

European legal systems are largely built around the idea that courts are apolitical, and that judges make their decisions neutrally based on the word of the law and the facts of the case.

This is of course impossible, but some people—especially judges themselves—are afraid that the system would collapse if the public learned how political the work of courts really is. So when France started publishing all the judgments of their courts to the public, they also forbade the public from studying individual judges.

It’s pretty funky.

Lykke til!! Artig å høre at det fortsatt er norskamerikanere som holder stand. 💪

Of course, studying the performance of individual judges is criminalized in France, so we have very limited ability to know about their individual performance. :)

It’s a huge lie that judges are neutral, but some argue it’s a necessary lie.

Bislet Kebab is generally considered to be past its prime - I’m not sure I’d recommend it.

I’m usually happy with Mediterranean Grill in Torggata for my late night kebab needs, but it’s a competitive scene and they are probably not the best any more. I’ve heard good things about King Falafel in Brugata lately.

Oslo is great for swimming. Sørenga by the Munch museum is really nice, and a swim next to the Opera can also make for a really nice experience. Bygdøy has great swimming spots a bit outside of the city, and this is also where you will find the viking ship museum. For a swim in the river, there’s a great spot around Nydalen. The lakes (like Sognsvann) are a bit more outside the city and can be colder, but going up there and sleeping in a hammock by the water can be a great way to combine a nice experience with saving money on hotels. If it’s cold, check out Oslo Badstueforening for really affordable floating saunas.

I guess in general what to do depends a lot on your interests. If you just want to walk around in the city a bit, Grünerløkka is known to be one of the nicer neighbourhoods.

I left a while ago, and since then both the Munch museum and the National Gallery have moved locations. People say both are pretty great, so if you’re into art they’re probably worth checking out. Astrup Fernley is more geared towards contemporary art, which is good if you enjoy the whole “is this art” debate and all that jazz.

Then again it seems battery life is a lot better this time around, so this should ideally be less necessary.

Can only speak for myself but I’m some sort of neoluddite with a passionate hate for both the AI hype and Google.

Even if the people in charge of Mozilla are acting in good faith, I believe they are repeatedly shooting the whole organization in the foot with their stupid-ass decisions.

I used to feel lke Mozilla represented my interests online. Now they act as if they are just another tech company working to create technology I hate.

I still use FireFox on all my devices. I don’t trust some random fork, WebKit browsers are just not stable enough on Linux, and I refuse to use Chromium. But my god I’m tired of Mozilla’s shit.

“Creators led this revolution”

The same way cows lead a slaughterhouse.

Of course. The mere intention of anyone having them is reason enough to bomb the shit out of them and justify it as self defence. Apparently.

Political defined as:

Pictures containing a politician from any country

Which is a prettyanageable definition. It’s a cliche that everything is political, but it’s also somewhat true. Banning pictures from protests would be a weird move IMHO.

I kind of agree, but on the other hand it’s quite a good snapshot. It really does capture a moment in history and the failure of a country, in all its blurredness.

If this was a photography community, I would be more reluctant. But it’s an interesting pic.

Yeah, I suspect they chose .pub because it was the cheapest available top level domain they could find “europe” for. I’m not associated with them at all, and I don’t really know who’s behind it, but it seems like they’re doing a good job trying to create a European hub on here. :)

Sure, but that doesn’t take away from the fact that under this model, small artists with little money seem to have a strong incentive not to put their music up for sale, which will cost both them and Bandcamp potential profits.

Maybe they could offer fans to sponsor a membership for artists if they want to unlock premium features.

Fair enough. But musicians are not really “any type of venture”.

Bandwagon is already taking on a risk by hosting music for free for listening. If they could find ways in which both them and the artists could profit from music published on the platform that lacks the commercial potential to justify a €10 subscription, this would be a win/win. Considering that it seems they are already hosting the music for free.

Jeg ville vurdert å kaste meg på om jeg ikke var hellig overbevist sosialdemokrat.

Om jeg vurderte dette, ville jeg aldri i verden ha meldt min interesse til en hotmail-adresse. Kanskje verdt å vurdere å bytte leverandør?

Akkurat nå er organisasjonen kanskje sammen mot kapitalen, men like fordømt sponset av Microsoft.

Thanks. I guess the piglets just represent random Bolsheviks sucking up to the Party leadership. Makes it look a bit like if Death of Stalin was set to Animal Farm.

I think that would be most people these days.

Could also be two separate things? I have a) dumped Windows and b) installed Lineage.

We’re outsourcing thinking to a bullshit generator controlled by mostly American mega-corporations who have repeatedly demonstrated that they want to do us harm, burning through scarce resources and rendering creative humans robbed and unemployed in the process.

What’s not to hate.
