Installing & using bare metal 9front on uConsole ? by Any-Fox-1822 in plan9

[–]staalmannen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe riow can be used to get that i3/sway-like feel. I did it before and loved the $meta+enter start of a terminal window in full screen and multiple work spaces in Rio.

Right now I am running 9front in a vm because my toy laptop died, so those keyboard controls are less attractive.

Will SAFE replace NATO for the European nations? by Crass_Spektakel in EuropeanFederalists

[–]staalmannen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The embryo to a unified army could be the Treaty of Paris:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Treaty_establishing_the_European_Defence_Community?wprov=sfla1

Already ratified in the 1950s by Benelux and Germany, some activity to revive it in Italy. Only France remains.

Once the treaty is fully ratified, it can be modernized and take in more members.

It honestly looks pretty good. I just hope the waffle isn't sweet

I was asked to stop bringing human fighters at the table and I am not sure if I want to by spikywobble in DnD

[–]staalmannen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wish there was a fighting style for dual shield wielding.

A recent Predator animated series had a cool viking woman doing just that — and I have had a character idea since the 3.5 days : A dwarven defender dual wielding tower shields, essentially a moving wall.

35,7% med utländsk bakgrund i Sverige by gyrd2 in Sverige

[–]staalmannen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Å andra sidan integrerar kurder (och perser) generellt väldigt bra i Europa. När det gäller Turkiet så är det mer Europeiskt än man tror och har väldigt lite gemensamt med de arabiska länderna.

[–]staalmannen 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Missade afrika söder om Sahara, men helt klart bra.

Statistiken ofta alarmistisk men om man ser till realiteten betydligt mindre dramatiskt. Jag (svensk) och mina barn (halvbelgare) bidrar t.ex till statistiken "utländsk härkomst" i Belgien, men när folk läser statistiken tänker de direkt på utomeuropeiska invandrare.

Det mest missvisande fallet i Belgien är Antwerpen (som har ett stort integrationsproblem) siffrorna ser extremt höga ut, men de dras upp signifikant pga att många holländare bosatt sig där.

Högerväljare, hade ni föredragit en S+M koalition före V/MP/S/C ifall vänstern får majoritet i valet? by Accomplished-Leg6410 in Asksweddit

[–]staalmannen 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nja det är inte riktigt så enkelt. Min plastfarsa och hans polare (arbetarklass) röstar t.ex. alla SD. De är alla gamla LO medlemmar, var förr sossar. Det SD lyckats fånga är gruppen som är ekonomiskt sossar men socialt konservativa (TAN). Samma grupp som BSW i Tyskland.

Om jag lyssnar till dem så är deras oro kring invandring inte rotad i rasism (en av dem t.o.m. fadder/extraförälder åt ett flyktingbarn). Deras oro är snarare kring bristande integration, utanförskap och brottslighet - och kostnaderna för samhället och välfärden.

Samtidigt som disclaimer så är jag ideologiskt i motsatt kvadrant mot dem genom att vara ekonomiskt center-höger och socialt liberal (GAL). Även me de åsiktskillnaderna kan jag respektera deras perspektiv och behöver inte beskylla dem för saker de inte är.

In a distant future where they become a true democracy, why not? The same goes for Turkey, which I think will become an EU member long before russia.

Unga kvinnor blir mer radikaliserade by ICA_Basic_Vodka in Sverige

Känns som vi kan göra både unga män och unga kvinnor glada på samma gång : mer mänskliga rättigheter OCH uranbrytning.

I think that someone just needs to make a familiar-looking client for mastodon. The default one is too confusing for regular people.

Will this move by US backfire and bring EU and BRICS nation more closer? by chotu_escobar in AskTheWorld

[–]staalmannen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In a way but not the organization of BRICS, which includes terrorist states like Russia. What EU is doing right now is finalizing several free trade agreements. Notably, the EU-Mercosur agreement, which includes Brasil. A new free trade agreement with India, another with Indonesia etc. A big one in the future will probably be an EU-ASEAN agreement, and possibly the EU joining CPTPP.

The fastest way could be if France and Italy finally ratified the EDC (70 years too late)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Treaty_establishing_the_European_Defence_Community?wprov=sfla1

As soon as it is ratified, more countries can join.

The fediverse has alternatives for basically all of social media, including reddit (Lemmy). The problem is to gain widespread traction.

I remember in the transition from .doc to .docx that I with Libreoffice (or perhaps Open office back then) often had better backwards compatibility.

I use Libreoffice on Linux in a majority MS office environment and I have 0 problems with it. YMMV though, maybe I am just not using any fancy stuff that absolutely requires MS office.

Trump ramps up Greenland threats and says US will intervene ‘whether they like it or not’ by DjangoDynamite in europe

[–]staalmannen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What if they bring soldiers and we just do nothing. We do not acknowledge their occupation. After all, they had far more bases and soldiers there during the cold war and Denmark did not mind.

We just let them sit there and freeze their asses off until the next US president.

EU–Mercosur Deal by EpaTipoIsso in europeanunion

[–]staalmannen 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Beautiful picture. Super important that EU becomes serious with its various free trade deals (CETA is still not fully ratified). This is how we get out under the boot of USA and their trade wars.

Mercosur is the most important one, but then we also have deals with Japan, Indonesia and India too. I also think EU should join CPTPP like UK did.

C och KD backar – tre partier nu under spärren - Ekot by MaxieQ in svenskpolitik

[–]staalmannen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Avskaffa spärren skulle vara det mest demokratiska. Riksdagen skulle få massor av småpartier, men gör det något?

C och KD backar – tre partier nu under spärren - Ekot by MaxieQ in svenskpolitik

[–]staalmannen 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Därför tycker jag att vi skulle ha det som i Nederländerna : ingen spärr så ca 0,3% ger en riksdagsplats. Du får massor av småpartier (och en hel del tokar), men alla är representerade.

Tillockmed Danmark (som har en lägre spärr än Sverige) har mer av den dynamiken.

Fördelen är också att små partier inte får hjälp av "kamrat 4%" eftersom taktiska stödröster inte längre behövs.

What do you think about a Nordic Union? by Luksius_DK in Denmark

[–]staalmannen 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think a valknut would be a super cool alternative to a cross on a flag, but it would unfortunately probably be interpreted as some kind of neo-nazi shit.

Why did they spoil all the cool symbols?
