#Norwegians

@ksaj I adore because.....I am so like them. Very private in public. No small talk. Don't touch me. If there is a seat on the available...it better be on the other side. But...I'm wild on the private side, and it's VERY hard to offend me. Damned near impossible. And Norwegians are the same way.They are seriously outrageously fun in private...once you crack that egg shell. When you do...like me...friends for life.

@RainofTerra do not worry. Us #Norwegians are planning a government takeover. You will have Parliament, welfare and you'll like it, young missy.

Also, you'll suffer severe self loathing and have a 70% of becoming a poet ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯ but you'll have solidarity, so.. yey?

The thing is that #Norwegians can't take it seriously enough and reaching out to people has been super hard.

It's been a frustrating affair and it continues to vex me. So what else can I do, but do the things all boys do in the wake of summer...

Write a damn #manifesto.

But seriously, our country is run on digital services and with digital tools. "We live in a society". It's about time we take the power back from the yankies.

We as #Norwegians have followed daddy #USA so much that our brains can't fathom a way forward that isn't "copying our way to success".

No, we don't want a Norwegian #AWS, nor do we need one. We should be copying what we did with electrical companies decades ago and #socialize #cloud infrastructure through localized services that are interchangeable.

But i think that we're so used to #NewPublicManagement, #BusinessOfComplexity and #Middlemen business that we can't see beyond our nose.

Continued thread

In the end I am dawning my bowler cap, sticking a cigar in my mouth and saying "I have a plan"... (old ass #Norwegians will get it).

#deadinternettheory is one thing, #artificalinteligence is another, and the #databrokerage problem - hoo boy.

It's time we start thinking inside the box, by creating a storm inside of a bottle, a hermetically sealed environment for people who don't want to be influenced by outsiders.

Until we meet again...

Part 4/4

I'm sorry you guys :(
I got a BlueSky account...
But, I won't be promoting it here!

It's only so I can communicate with #Norwegian political organizations and #Norwegians in general, cus my people are a bunch of materialistic conformists.

I'm ofc excluding the good folks of #Snabelen and #FriBygda.

In any case, #WebSocial (or the #Fediverse, or #Allheimen) is what I want to push, because #decentralized #tech is the way forward.

My regular zany posting will continue! Until morale improves.

Norwegians may find some of my #political #shitposting on here a bit too much.

But make no mistake, #Norwegians are some decades behind the #US and #UK in regards to how deep down the spiral they've gotten.

Additionally #CRT is still a thing, the persecution and harm of #Natives is still a thing, authoritarian #PoliceBrutality is still a thing, manufactured debt traps is still a thing, etc, etc.

Make no mistake, we have our own spiral, and we're still spoiled and privileged, but still.

This chi ship was in a russian port before it cut the cables

Over the past day yi peng 3 has gone in and out of #Danish waters.

Then, Yi Peng 3 was stationary, 450 m north of Danish sea border, with DK navy shadow 1.5km to her west. 😂

Then Yi Peng 3 was stationary but Y311 HDMS Søløven is moving towards in

#German P3’s over incident spots and her track, early today

Y311 Søløven is a specialized dive-vessel, equipped for deep sea works and mine clearance

Both #DK and #SE navies are utilizing mine vessels

Søløven is on station. Yi Peng 3 ain't going anywhere

Yi Peng 3 is anchored just hundred meters north of Danish border. She has started making the arch anchored ships make, could not tell for certain before that. Drifting looks similar in low winds

Interestingly the #Norwegians have a ship that's sitting not far away blocking the exit

Update: Yi Peng 3 has Russian captain. New New Polar Bear was also under Russian control Russian-chartered + Russian captain

I've just finished a year long joint project with some Norwegian people and what I was told during the project is everyone in Norway knows about "taco friday".

I heard it so many times from multiple people I am beginning to believe it is true - *everyone* eats tacos every Friday in Norway.

Continued thread

Foreign workers in #Norway considered it "unfriendly," expensive, and many had encountered a significant language barrier (despite the excellent level of English in the country). Several had been ripped off by employers hiding behind Norwegian-language contracts. I expect many #Norwegians will dismiss this because it doesn't fit with their worldview that Norway is an awesome utopia where everyone is happy and foreigners are welcomed with open arms.
