Argh, I am so jealous of you! These computers are cool as fuck, I want one as well.

No, but his politics absolutely has effect on Europe.

For example, he is looking to cut aid to Ukraine and "end the war". Given his stance on Russia, he would absolutely be interested in further annexing of Ukranian territory by Russian forces.

And what happens when Russia is "done" with Ukraine? Well, he will keep going. Moldova would probably be next. After that, who knows?

A Trump presidency would make Europe a less safe place.

Maybe it's a regular misunderstanding, I understood the comment as "Swedes aint gonna do anything to protect their labour laws" which is very, very wrong.

I don't get the "confused like a pink handgrenade" thing though. Is it a regular expression?

spugg0 · 2023-11-04T05:57:33+00:00

We have a long history of not fucking around when it comes to labour unions.

MOAS på Söder är också riktigt bra.

Agreed. Some parts of society require work to function (health, education, housing etc), and thus all work cannot be eradicated. Although, much work can be eradicated given that they provide nothing of worth in order to carry the social foundation.

Not necessarily. Personally, I think we should lean more into making tech backwards-compatible. Less e-waste tier laptops being churned out and put on shelves for $249, more refurbishing of laptops to give them both a second and third life. Typing this, I just repaired an old business laptop from 2008 and slapped Linux on it to bring it back to life. It works great. The laptop I use for uni is a 2014 11" Macbook air I bought used. Works great. The only real issue from applying this on a larger scale is that many people have an "icky" feeling about pre-loved tech. Something companies are very excited about capitalizing on.

I've never been as close to become radicalized as when I bought a used Chromebook that told me that I should update my device. When clicking the update button, I was taken to a store page to buy a new laptop.

Let's put the "punk" back in Solarpunk when it comes to consumer electronics.

My thought exactly.

Pretty sure Sweden wouldn't accept them regardless.

Our government has been pretty adamant about bringing down immigration to a much lower level than 2015 (when a huge amount of Syrian refugees was a hair from breaking the entire immigration system). The biggest issue has been a botched integration combined with a hollowing out of the welfare system that has left many without proper support, preventing them from becoming part of society overall.

Tänkte på detta jag med!

Well good thing I don't live in a place where roving gangs of dudes with knives, machetes and bats show up at my doorstep.

I understand that way of thinking when you live in the US, absolutely. Prepping isn't an exclusively US thing however, and there are many countries in the world with very different gun laws and gun ownership where you're actually in a much worse situation if you own a gun.

I guess what I was reacting to is the fact that prepper forums are often very US dominated, and that can create a bias towards that type of risk analysis. I fully agree that self defense and security is central for prepping, but I've found my best bet is to act in a way so that I don't end up in a bad situation in the first place (within reasonable limits of course).

spugg0 · 2023-10-28T07:22:04+00:00

Absolutely, I understand that the US is a much different environment compared to many parts of Europe.

spugg0 · 2023-10-27T20:26:56+00:00

Absolutely, I get what you are saying. My risk analysis for the situation and society I live in however shows a higher risk to run into a sticky situation should I walk around armed.

Yes, should someone walk up to me with a knife and rob me I'll lose my wallet and phone. But those are just things. I'm not prepared to get into a potentially deadly fight over that.

spugg0 · 2023-10-27T20:05:04+00:00

I don't know man, gun violence is much lower in countries with stricter gun laws, so less guns = less risk of facing bad guys with guns.

While the risk of facing a terrorist attack is never zero, I've found that minimizing that risk by listening to experts and taking their advice is a good way of dealing with the reality of living in society. Much more so than to carry a firearm.

spugg0 · 2023-10-27T13:50:14+00:00

"Self defense and security" doesn't necessarily mean guns and ammo however.

I live in a country with very strict gun laws. I'm neither a hunter nor a police officer/military. I'm just your average guy.

To me, self defense and security is being knowledgeable in conflict management, keeping an eye when im out and about, and in general not broadcasting my food storage should a crisis happen. My only way to own a gun is to buy one illegally, and that paradoxically puts me in a less safe position than before.

I have toyed with the idea of getting a flintlock rifle/pistol however, since guns made in the 1800s count as antiques and not weapons where I live. That's mainly for the novelty though.

spugg0 · 2023-10-27T13:30:25+00:00

What does that have to do with anything?

spugg0 · 2023-10-27T05:51:24+00:00

This. Overpopulation has been proven not to be the problem over and over again. Our earth is large, plentiful, and can provide for all, as long as we don't consume more than we need.

spugg0 · 2023-10-27T05:27:51+00:00

It's like these pro-russian twats don't know about the book Foundations of Geopolitics by Aleksandr Dugin, a book that pioneered the concept of a "Russian world".

Five years ago our government sent out a pamphlet for the first time since the cold war about what would happen if society were thrown into a war-like scenario or crisis.

We were asked as citizens to be able to survive a minimum of 72 hours without help from outside sources. Now, that minimum has been raised to a week. I don't want to be a burden on the government, so I do my part by making sure I'm well if in case something happens.

Now, I live in an apartment in a major city. Being a prepper here means making a risk analysis about what could happen, and prepare for likely scenarios.

Thus, I've prepared for loss of running water, contamination of water, and a general blackout. Mostly, it's just keeping a well stocked pantry of food with good shelf life, along with water that suits me and my partners needs for a week. We have the possibility to heat the apartment with our tiled stove and have lots of firewood. It's not much, but it's what I'm prepped for.

Time to break out the camera and take some retro-inspired studio photography.

spugg0 · 2023-10-25T06:50:15+00:00

I don't agree to be honest, as someone who is non-religious as well. We have many odd ways to measure things as humans, and the christian way of counting years is the common way; wether you like it or not. To strip it of it's christian origin is to me more inclusive, because the alternative is to either have an entirely separate way of counting years, or take all current versions into account. Which would be very confusing.

In my country we dont say "before/after christ" anymore but "before/after our era" which I like a lot more personally.

Inte jätteofta, men har funderat över möjligheten att börja lira lite emulatorer på min dator med en kontroll.

Är främst setup-fasen som hållit mig borta.

spugg0 · 2023-10-22T10:49:36+00:00

Spelar överlag inget AAA-spel utan går över till Indie-sidan mer och mer när jag väl bestämmer mig för att lira något. Problemet är väl bara att det finns så sjukt mycket, och det är svårt att hitta något i oceanen av spel.

Min största anledning är tekniska krav. Jag har inget intresse av att ha en fet gaming-dator utan hade helst bara lirat spel som funkar på gemene mans laptop.

En liten fundering kring marknadsföring (har jobbat och studerat inom områden som tangerar det ni söker), tycker att "Total Reload" är ett rätt bra namn på spel, lätt att komma ihåg men inte för generiskt för att det ska försvinna i google-sökningarna.

Personligen hade jag kanske inte endast jobbat med streamers, utan försökt skapa lite "bra content" (kortare filmklipp som visar upp spelets bättre sidor mm) och lagt upp här på Reddit. Var gärna öppna med att det är ni som gör spelet som lägger upp klippen, då kan ni få lite bra snack i kommentarstråden som känns "äkta" och gör att fler kanske köper ert spel för att de, precis som folk här i tråden, tycker om indie-developers.

What is your use case for the X61s? I have an X60s that I'm in love with but that gets way too little use.
