I don’t think he’s as dumb as he seems in some videos. His persona and mannerisms are very much a pan-Scandinavian thing. To me it’s a throwback to the early 00’s, when we filled our brains with plenty of Jackass, Blink 182 and Eric Cartman.

Fuel prices hit hard of you’re a Norwegian living outside of the cities (which is the majority of Norwegians). You really need to have a car in the countryside, as both buses and trains are few and far between. There’s still plenty of fossil-fueled vehicles out here. People keep them because they either can’t afford to make the jump over to electric, don’t trust the EV’s to handle winter well enough, or because they’re worried about the technological hurdle (Norway is an aging population).

Don’t need the propaganda, we just need a completely Oslo-centric government that will happily spend money on public transit, as long as it’s in Oslo. Pretty much all the governments have been like that for most of my life.

Ah, you’re right. My goodness, couldn’t the Americans even agree with the rest of the world on make-believe silly-units?

“While we can agree that a gallon should be the nice, round sum of 32 gills, I find it ludicrous that you define it as five fluid ounces. I’m putting my foot down. In the United States, it will be the much more manageable four ounces, which will be a different size to your ounces. Nyyyaanyyaanyanyanyaaa!”

Ha. Try 2.40/litre ($11/gallon) in Norway.

Oh, most definitely. They have teams of people with degrees in psychology for this exact purpose.

Remember, things got this shitty because most people were fine with Big Tech gradually making things shittier. I look back and realize I’ve been waiting for the One Enormous Dealbreaker for over a decade, but consumers keep moving the red line.

How the fuck did you get me to read that whole thing? Bravo!

If you’ve got a potato, try Linux Mint or one of the extra light distros, like PuppyLinux

“Yo, Earth to weeb, my eyes are up here!”

Positive comments like yours are like jet fuel for new parents. :)

Jailbreak your TV and install a third party launcher and SmartTube. It gave my Sony TV a new lease on life after it was almost smothered to death by ads, even on the home screen.

You are a person of culture, and I respectfully tip my hat to you. Of course, the question left unanswered is: Did it blend?

It was never about going for the worst of the worst, not in any part of the chain of command. The point was to start a war of attrition with one goal: drive out undesirables by any means necessary. Trump and his ilk have a soft spot for Putin and are taking a trick straight from his playbook: destroy enemy morale by attacking their weakest and most vulnerable.

The main problem with Windows (regarding GUI, there are many other issues) is that it’s never consistent. It changes with the mood of Microsoft’s execs and their need to set the trend, while at the same time having a pretty poor grasp of what the trend is. Look at Windows XP, Vista, 7 and then Win 8. Where’s the consistency? The nice thing about Linux is that you don’t have people on top telling you what the system to control your (“this”) computer will look like, whether you like it or not. On Linux, you control how your system will look, feel and behave. It’s your computer.

Bummer, dude…

You’re right, or at least mostly right. About 5% of Vivaldi’s code is closed. Yes, I understand that people don’t like that, but the point of Vivaldi is to be Opera if it had continued to follow the original vision of what Opera was. If they’re gonna stay on that course and be able to earn a living doing it, then I understand if they feel the need to keep some of it secret. I support open source, but among the vast amount of browsers I’ve tried, Vivaldi was the only one that truly sang to me after Firefox decided to go evil corpo. If people want to get their pitchforks and downvote me to oblivion for that, that’s fine.

Try Vivaldi. I’m very happy with it so far.
