Tonight’s Moon from #Seattle with nearby building lights to compare what “white” should be. Been really smokey the last couple days from the Bear Gulch Fire.
Nelson #Mandela's grandson #Mandla is set to join the Global Sumud #Flotilla to #Gaza and says that the form of #apartheid the #Palestinians undergo is far worse than South Africa’s apartheid
He is joining the Flotilla, too
#Italian #dockworkers threaten to block shipments to #Israel if communication with the flotilla is broken off for even 20 minutes and Israel does something to the ships and people on them
Nelson Mandela's grandson Mandla is set to join the Global Sumud Flotilla to Gaza and says his part in the protest is a continuation of his ‘family legacy.’
“The incident demonstrates the benefits of a decentralized system. Users with their own homeservers aren't affected”
Conversely, creating a huge instance on a system that is designed for decentralised use creates risks, as the corrupted 55TB postresql database demonstrates.
Meanwhile in Norway, it looks like the close but not-a-member relationship with the EU is looking increasingly less attractive to key politicians, who are now suggesting that Norway remains too disadvantaged being a non-member... their problem is the opinion polls show too few Norwegians share that view, leaving any referendum on joining unlikely.
The Q. in Norway, is: what would change Norwegians' view of EU membership?
Since they already enjoy many of the benefits of the single market due to their unique relationship with the EU and EFTA, I can understand why full membership may not look so attractive from their perspective.
I was in Norway last week and I asked the same question - why not join the EU? Mostly spoke to just a few oldies but they say they no longer feel so wealthy and already have too many "rules" without Brussels joining in. I suspect the young would join - they see the end of the oil wealth in their lifetime but as long as they have freedom of movement to go study somewhere warmer - the status quo is fine.
The Brits are having a good look at the Norwegian Wealth Tax model. Rud Pedersen analysis is interesting.
@thanetric Interesting. I know the wealth tax is controversial in Norway (the usual sob stories in the media about "successful entrepreneurs having to leave") - but I didn't know there's no inheritance tax. 🤔
That seems like a *very* sensible model: instead of paying a big hit when you die, just pay it more slowly while you're alive. Probably a fairer outcome overall.
Combining a wealth tax with the abolition of inheritance tax could be popular, no?
I think the invasion of Ukraine and Trump election (trade etc) have put EU membership in a more positive light in Norway. However, a new referendum is a risky move for the parties. Apart from the agrarian center party, most parties will have voters landing on both sides in a referendum and the two earlier ones shaked up the elections (the last one even a central precursor for the Centrum coalition government).
As Norwegians are pretty nationalistic, small changes towards EU support are not enough to counter the probable nationalistic fevor that would come in the build up to a referendum and the costs of having a referendum and loosing again are not worthwhile for the pro EU parties as the agreement we already have secures us many of the benefits of membership.
I never quite grasp the nationalistic argument when coming from a small European country (which applies to all of them when compared to the gigantic Asian countries or the US).
The world has changed. E.g., what do the Norwegians think of the current predicament of Denmark. Or how are they going to achieve digital sovereignty?
The benefit of being within the EU is preserving and shaping a European identity as a precondition for a national identity.
@openrisk I think Norway's past, where we've been extremely lucky (freedom from Denmark because of Napoleon's defeat, from Sweden without a shot being fired, not part of WW1, best treatment of the countries occupied by Germany in WW2, Soviet Union withdrawing (!) from northern Norway etc.) makes us underestimate our precarious situation as a small country outside the EU. The oil, and the richess it caused, has of course not made us feel more dependent on EU membership either.
I know that one issue why Switzerland can't join is the cost of compliance. When I worked there I was shocked by the H&S gaps and by the long hours I was expected to work (without overtime payments). Less wealthy countries get financial, and other help to bring them up to the expected level to comply with EU laws. So, while it would help with border security and improve some parts of the citizens lives, would the cost of fully implementing laws not already in place* be too much?
*They are already aligned in some areas, but I'm not sure about labour laws, etc.
I've seen lots of posts recently about people feeling proud of being productive, ticking off a small thing from their list, or just generally feeling relief from doing a thing.
Go you! It must be something in the water.
It's quite lovely to hear about.
Please continue to do the things so that we can live through you a little bit.
@purplepadma same! I like hearing that other people are doing things though. It's almost like there are only so many "productivity brain cells" at one time and at the moment these other people have them. They might infect our brains on another day but today is not that day!
And Jenkins 🐇 gets so much done every single day. Destroying boxes, destroying carpets, destroying skirting boards, napping, shitting in surprising places... He's an inspiration to us all.
Ukraine’s security service is accusing the country’s anti-corruption agencies of seeking “revenge” by bringing charges against Illia Vitiuk, the former head of the agency’s cybersecurity unit.
I was today year old when I found out the existence of #MLOL (Media Library On Line) to borrow #ebooks in Italy 😏
It's tricky: you need to register to a library (not many allow you to do it online: I joined Roma and Bologna ones so far), each library has their own ebooks, usually 2 books/month limit, return after 14 days etc.... but it works and it's free 🙂

"Many reservists have reportedly requested exemptions, citing personal or financial reasons, and units are seeing lower turnout than in previous emergency call-ups…”
Being on vacation in rural Nova Scotia is really driving home just how poorly-optimized most modern websites are for unreliable cell connections. Hovering one one bar or occasionally dropping down from 4G? Sites that preload no static content, or take like 50 separate requests, just won't work.
Anders Holmberg vågar ställa den avgörande frågan till EU-ministern: om Israel svälter ut en befolkning - och ett växande antal experter kallar det folkmord - räcker det då med ett fruset handelsavtal, alltså litet högre tullar som åtgärd?
Wo ist mein deutsches Mastodon? Ich lerne Deutsch seit vier Monaten, und ich würde gern mit Deutschsprechenden sprechen. Ich glaube, dass es mir helfen würde.

Cassandra Crossing 640/ Possiamo vivere con computer che sbagliano?
L’introduzione forzata di LLM in tutti i settori dell’informatica, che la finanza rende obbligatoria, ha fatto una importante vittima; la fiducia nelle risposte dei computer. Ma possiamo conviverci senza perderci in un mondo fatto di allucinazioni ed errori?
Vassego! Om man vill rösta för skogen i kyrkovalet:
"De gröna i Svenska kyrkan, Vänstern i Svenska kyrkan, Himmel och jord och Socialdemokraterna stödjer samtliga av Göran Enanders förslag som de framställs i Naturskyddsföreningens enkät. Socialdemokraterna uttrycker sig dock lite mer försiktigt och vill att procentsatserna för skydd av skog och för naturnära skogsbruk spikas i dialog med stiften."
Skogen – kyrkovalets största stridsfråga | Dagens ETC
Min erfarenhet är att de mest kompetenta i frågan är Himmel och jord. S skulle jag starkt avråda att rösta på. De har inga lokalt förankrande valprogram utan allt styrs centralt. I vårt pastorat går de till val på ex. att all verksamhet för barn och unga ska vara kostnadsfri, vilket alla grupper är överens om och införde för många år sedan. De känns lika populistiska som SD.
@karlemo jag gillar visk men de är inte alltid representerade i varje församling/pastorat. Så när jag bodde i Haninge röstade jag på S. Inte för att de var så himla bra utan för att det inte riktigt fanns något annat att rösta på som inte var höger
Jag har alltid röstat POSK men i detta val blir det nog Himmel och Jord på stiftsnivå eftersom vårt stift har så mycket skog. Tyvärr har POSK lierat sig med S gällande att införa storpastorat så det blir nog inget mer POSK för mig. Jag tror det bara är Centern och kanske Frimodig kyrka som arbetar aktivt mot detta.
Lokalt tror jag POSK är ett fungerande koncept eftersom det kan samla folk av olika slag och man kan ta reda på vad de tycker och vill verka för. Det är svårare när det blir på stift och nationell nivå. Då behöver man nästan läsa vilka motioner de skrivit och hur de röstat. Iofs är det på liknande sätt med många politiska grupper också som vänder kappan efter vinden så snabbt att de mer liknar propellrar.SD är enklare: återinför Fader Vår och förbjud muslimer i SvK. 😀
