Yes of course. It is super rigorous. With both required extensive theoretical classes, theoretical test, required session with driving on ice, minimum hours of driving, and a driving test.
I mean't the humor for teaching it
Sorry, but I really dislike the concept of special days for brands 🤮 It's an attempt by corporations at sementing a brand into society permanently.
Thanks, that mortality rate is frighteningly high. Luckily no human to human transmission so far. Hopefully never.
Might be good to have some personal protective equipment in my emergency toolkit, as people would probably go instantly nuts for that if there is a breakout of human to human transmission.
Oh, I must have explained wrong.
Yes, everywhere is legally required to accept it still. But the usage is really low, and there has been talks of removing the requirements of accepting cash.
I live in Norway, so the government will do everything in it's power to protect its citizens probably. Like it did during COVID.
Theres no supply chain issues here currently either. During COVID pretty much everything was available besides acceptably priced GPUs
How to prepare for this shit again? I guess I can start by storing some masks, and a lot more food.
Any advice or thoughts? I can work from home fulltime, and grocery deliveries is possible.
Tesla's sales in the Netherlands have plunged dramatically, with only 382 vehicles sold in April
Wow, that is hilariously bad 😂
I only wish it was easier to identify the US products. I have replaced about 80-90% of the household spending that went to the US to EU products.
No more Netflix, HBO, YouTube premium, or similar. No more groceries with a US parent company or raw ingredients from the US.
Replaced most apps.
I think I have moved about 200-300$ a month of spending. I still have to replace some pet food, for example.
But there is still something here and there, and it's hard to avoid it without help. I can't spend all my time on this.
This should be in drivers education in Europe
I would think a lot of countries are tackling a lot of emergency scenarios at the moment.
Increasing defence, digital sovereignty, robust power grid, basically just preparing for bad shit
Cash will change to a digital form or disappear, I don't agree with the people claiming it wont't.
Scandinavia is so close already, recieving cash is considered bothersome. No one uses it for anything anymore. Well.. Besides drugs.
Both electricity and the internet is critical infrastructure. Any downtime of either is really serious. It is however not rocket science to solve the biggest issues in regards to payments. As long as people can show their identity we can agree on tiny loans for stuff. Or just having the government bail out all verified purchases after the fact.
100$ per person isn't that much money. Any bigger purchases can be handled with invoices.
So I am more worried about heating in the winter and access to water and sanitation.
It was probably the best case scenario. This happening outside of winter or a war was pretty lucky.
Now they get to learn and improve.
While I agree in theory, in practice open source has a similar amount of expected trust as closed source can have in many cases. I use all sorts of open source software without reading the code. I ain't got time for that.
I can trust that software from a lot of organizations are trustworthy even if it is closed source, but I can't trust any open source repo without reading the code. I habe to use other ways to evaluate it, is it probable that someone has audited it? Is it popular? Is it recognized as safe and trustworthy? Is the published and finished build the same as the one I would get if I built it myself?
But yes, you can never be 100% certain without open source and auditing it yourself.
I do trust that my travel pass app from a government organization doesn't install malware / spyware on my phone. I can't trust a random github repo even if it is open source.
We had some emergency law that was almost passed recently. As in it passed the first of two rounds. The second voting round is just a formality, all laws are just passed after the first in practice. Luckily some law professor raised the alarms and it did not pass the second time. So within a couple of hours margin it was stopped.
The law gave the government the ability to force people to do a lot of stuff, work any job at any place in Norway. If you do not comply you could get up to three years in prison. It would not be a problem with the current or any government in the near future, but it is a law. And we can't have laws that rely on trusting politicians. Because we might have politicians with anti democratic tendencies in the future
I think certain arguments work, and certain don't.
I live in a very high trust society, Norway. This has a lot of advantages, but also some downsides.
We trust eachother, our neighbours, our government and our media. Which is fantastic, and well deserved. The government deserves the trust.
This makes it hard for me to make people realize how important privacy is, because they trust organizations with their data.
During COVID, Norway made their own app for tracking who met to prevent the spread. Of all the apps in the world, Norway wanted to push about the least privacy friendly app in the world. This from a country with the highest press freedom and rankings for democracy. Most people though it was fine, because why not? We trust our government.

Luckily someone protested enough, and it got scrapped for something better.
When I try to convince someone I have a couple of angles:
- You trust the government and organizations with your data today. But do you trust the government in 30 years? Because data is forever. The US has changed a lot in a very short time, this can happen here as well
- You have a responsibility for other peoples privacy as well. When you use an app that gets access to all your SMSes and contacts you spy on behalf of companies on people that might need protection. Asylum seekers from other countries for instance.
This is why I subscribe to lemmyshitpost
Can you elaborate on the spyware part? This is new to me
You have already seen everything
Patrick Stewart on Extras - YouTube
No spoilers, just one of the best scenes in the show.
Many of the actors in the show play as bizzare versions of themselves. Patrick Stewart is one of the truly great ones.
I want the "Android" / GrapheneOS sandbox experience on Linux, is it achieveable?
I really appreciate the GrapheneOS security model with detailed permissions for every app, including internet access.
I'd like to have something similar to that on my main OS. I like to be able to install an app without trusting it. So that I can be more lax with the FOSS projects and the proprietary stuff I use.
I use my PC for gaming, programming and personal stuff. I have been using Fedora for quite some time.
I know that QubesOS exists, and would give me the highest security and privacy guarantees, but i'd prefer something more elegant. I havent tried Qubes in 10 years though 🤔
Am I limited to Flatpak with Flatseal and similar solutions to Flatseal for AppImage?
Edit: I have a ryzen iGPU and a seperate dedicated GPU
Source of new perspectives in the form of high quality chronicles / editorials
I really enjoy getting my view of the world challenged, preferably through chronicles and editorials about society, ethics, politics etc.
I consider myself to be open to new ideas and change. I do however have certain strongly held values, which are harder to change.
I know reading books from different authors could also accomplish the same thing. But I find that I rarely have the patience to follow one specific political point of view for an entire book.
I am interested in original ideas, or old ideas that are not mainstream. Pretty much most points of views.
I find that editorials and chronicles is a good way to grow and either enforce or weaken a belief.
Any good RSS feeds, newspapers etc. that focuses heavily on this?
"In an Oval Office meeting between the presidents of El Salvador and the United States, officials from both governments tried to say it was the other side who could determine if the wrongfully deported Kilmar Abrego Garcia would be returned to the US."

Hi! I am a stranger on this instance, I have read a lot of warnings about the "tankie triad", but wanted to see for myself and keep an open mind.
I watched this video, and it made me want to take a deep dive into socialism/communism, with as much objectivity as I can. https://youtu.be/BeRjTtKFlVM
I understand how capitalism works, and I have doubts that it is a sustainable system for society long term, but social democracy has been a good way of keeping capitalism in-check in Norway. So even if capitalism is not ideal, it is in theory possible to tax the rich more and keep the whole thing going in the future. I also understand the exploitation and the extraction of surplus value, rent seeking etc.
Other capitalist countries such as the US is currently struggling with basic human needs. And that is "the shining beacon of capitalism".
In Norway it has for a long time been common to use the US as an exampl

How to protect against someone forcefully unlocking my phone and password manager with biometrics?
I really like the convenience of using fingerprint unlock for lockscreen and password manager. I do however don't like the thought of being forced to unlock both physically.
I use Android with GrapheneOS.
I have set up lockdown, but it takes some time to hold the power button and then click lockdown.
Any creative solutions?
What are my options for SMS/RCS?
I have a lot of friends and family that use SMS/RCS and I can't get them all to use Signal.
I have the option to send SMS from a simple FOSS SMS app, and then we can communicate back and forth.
I've heard something about RCS getting E2EE and find that appealing.
What is the future of RCS? What are my options, and should I just stick with SMS?
Edit: Stick with SMS when I have to, and use Signal etc when possible ofc.
PeerTube Channels?
I am trying to replace my reliance on youtube.
I use GrayJay and have Youtube, DailyMotion(French) and PeerTube set up as sources.
Unfortunately PeerTube has really bad discoverability or little content, I don't know which.
I subscribe to Gardiner Bryant, VKC, TechLore, PrivacyGuides and a few more.
What channels do you recommend?

Adding reviews with political opinions might remove the review.
So it might be best to just rate it based on features if you write something, or just rate the apps without text at all.
What's your opinion in bias and censorship in LLMs?
I recently watched a Norwegian TV show where they pointed out that you can't even get ChatGPT to show you a boob. So I decided to test it, but being less explicit.
I couldn't even get ChatGPT to generate a renaissance painting of a woman with an exposed breast, like Botticelli's The Birth of Venus.
After that I attempted to get it to recreate the painting. It did not want to copy that painting either for copyright issues.. A public domain painting, even when pointing it out and it agreeing it did not want to do it.
When I ask it questions in regards to politics it does not seem to fare well either.
I feel that using the service kinda "trains me" to self-censor, and tries to remain artificially unbiased in a way that is uncanny.
What are your opinions about censorship and bias from LLMs/AI?
Are there any apps or services that aggregate RSS, Mastodon and Lemmy?
I want a single feed that I can customize and preferably weight based on how important I think something is.
The perfect solution would support Lemmy, RSS, Mastodon and maybe even Bluesky. And would allow me to increase the visibility of certain content. For instance a specific RSS feed
Can I use "AI" generated assets for games?
I am developing a game, and I want some assets for it. i was thinking of drawing some assets and then ask the "AI" to generate xyz based on my drawing style.
I was also considering just having a very specific prompt and using that to generate the assets I need.
I know there is a lot of skepticism about AI generated images, art etc. is there something I should know? Is it copyrighted? Can I use it as inspiration and make my own assets that are similar but not the same?
I am also just considering buying assets, but fear that it might not give me everything I need.
Any thoughts?
What happens if I use my freezer below -15C?
I have a chest freezer that has operating temperatures down to -15C. I want to leave it on the balcony, which has a roof and it is shielded from the elements. But for shorter periods of the year we get weather colder than -15C.
Will it damage the freezer? Will the freezer just stop running temporarily? If the ambient temperature is -20 and the inside is -5-10C then atleast it won't get hotter, so the food won't spoil if it gets colder inside.
Edit: I could connect a smart plug and disconnect it if below -15, if that would help
How to learn Rust?
I want to learn Rust. There are so many resources available and I am unsure which one to go for, and if there are any tips on getting started?
I am a software developer by trade
Edit: Thanks for all the great replies!
