Not exactly.

There is very much a symbiotic relationship between the company and the community, even if the latter is more an oblique blob of FOSS projects.

You can get a smidge of insight by having a looksie here:

Regarding important economic issues such as healthcare, welfare, taxes, consumer protection & industry regulation this is certainly the case.

The part where the European right mainly differs from the US left is on more recent additions to leftist ideology - such as identity politics & intersectionalism.

I think a primary necessity for communal ownership is social accountability. The point at which it breaks down is when neglecting the common item becomes “someone elses problem” due to the group being sufficiently large.

I unironically have several folks around who’ve moved over to OpenSUSE after me.

Criminally underrated, now if only they could get the board in order…

The reuters article is rather sparse, CNN has a more in depth one.

This is the worst mass shooting in Swedish history to date.

Minister of State Ulf Kristersson held a press conference a few hours ago, and the King has issued a statement also.

It’s honestly quite draining with the constantly escalating violence. Many here didn’t initially react or realize the magnitude when the initial news hit after lunch citing five people shot.

Right now though one of our most prolific Swedish online forums (flashback) is down due to excessive traffic, and last I saw the news have blown up on mainstream platforms too.

Suppose I’ll get used to it in a while. Thanks for the tip regarding sunscreen, hadn’t considered that.

Asking on my own behalf - I’m in my early twenties and actively noticed my hair starting to thin a few months ago. I’m honestly a bit uncomfortable with how quickly it’s been progressing as I quite like my hair.

Maybe it’s stress or something?

Sounds very pleasant. Reminds me of when I was in the scouts as a teen. All bunked up in a cabin in the woods, chilly air staved off by a crackling fire and blankets, folks singing songs, eating marshmallows and just vibing.

To answer my own question - I’d like to raise children of my own some day. To give them the chance to find their own passions and live on in a world hopefully better than my own. To share in the joys of curiosity that children have, and hopefully nurture that to remain into adulthood.

I don’t know if I can achieve that. There’s a lot that needs to be done to provide a stable living in this day and age - I myself need to grow, get the skills and means to provide, and also find a partner with similar ambitions.

Getting through to university was an achievement I suppose, but it feels all to easy to stumble and fail anywhere along the way. The world keeps moving, doesn’t care at all if I fall off.
