I recently read these two good books.
Cory Doctorow @pluralistic - Enshittification.
Mímir Kristjánsson - Gjør Norge greit igjen.
Both these books discuss how some bad policy choices have affected the word/Norway in a negative way for most people. One focus on the Internet and digital devices, while the other on privatization in Norway. Hopefully, now that it is laid out clearly, we can reverse direction and repair.
"#Hungary's opposition #Tisza party widens its lead ahead of #Orban's #Fidesz"
🤞 🤞 🤞
If Hungary goes sane in April, and then if enough of the lazy entitled lumps in the #USA show up to #vote in November (after showing up in the #primaries to get real left candidates: BE THERE), then we can put a real dent on our emergent #fascism
Fuck your #cynicism

Norwegian consumer protection council perspective on enshittification, with @pluralistic, 27. Feb, “Kulturhuset”, so I assume in Oslo ;-) There seems to be an option to register and watch the stream as well!
This is the document, Trump does not want you to see.
In 1916, under President Woodrow Wilson, the United States signed the purchase of the Virgin Islands from Denmark, in a convention in which the United States recognised Denmark's right to the whole of Greenland.
Danish MP's of The Defence Committee will convene in the Sensitive Compartmented Information Facility at 18:00 to discuss the defence of Greenland.

Capitalism is a single-criterion optimization: it organizes itself around the accumulation of capital, to the exclusion of all other criteria

The most thought provoking article I have read this week:
A Norwegian bus company wants to know if their buses could be abused by China in the case of war.
So they drive two buses deep into a limestone mine to isolate them from the internet and forensically investigate how they work.
In the mine, investigators discover a Chinese kill switch which could destroy all Chinese buses.
In Denmark, that is 57 percent of the bus fleet.
