Not only that, but a lot of constructive thinking goes in to just formulating thoughts so they can be communicated. We’ve all had that sense of “that sounds stupid when I say it out loud”, for example.

yeah, the presentation kind of hurts the message here, I think

Terje Rød-Larsen, who was quite central in the Oslo-process in the middle east, is also being charged.

Both of these were Labour politicians, and in spite of that, Rød-Larsen apparently tried to help MAGA gain a foothold in Norway.

Are you being serious?

Conspiracy theories are generally very big, very serious accusations being made confidently without serious evidence.

The prevalence of conspiracy theories does indeed make it harder for people who want to stay grounded in reality to accept criticism of the powerful – this is one of the harms of conspiracy theories. It makes it harder for genuine serious criticism to be taken seriously – this is why the Putin regime allows conspiracy theorists, but persecutes serious regime critics.

Matrix seems pretty mature, and has screen sharing with audio?

yes, but pollsters will try to account for that in their models

Oh, just a ban on the targeting. The companies would still be alllowed to show as many ads, and as many different ads, as they’d want.

In fairness they would eventually find their balls and be the only party voting against Hitler being given dictatorial powers

I dunno, I think it makes more sense to compare the US to the EU than to individual European countries, given that European countries are more the size of US states.

imagine if people who were good at other things started showing up to those meetings

That’s interesting, and maybe better than what I had in mind.

If the software you need to use isn’t very demanding, you can run windows in a virtual machine (VM) inside of Linux – the exception is games that have kernel-level anti-cheat, those will probably never work on Linux in any way, and you’ll have to dual boot to run them. Most other games will run easily if you just install them with Steam, but I’ve come across a few that I use a VM for.

What software and games do you need to run? I might be able to help.

Also, the distro you should go for is called Linux Mint.

Mint has the perfect balance of stability, support and up-to-date-ness for beginners - and honestly for a lot of experienced users as well.

When I was 19 I went to a sort of social pedagogy boarding school thing that we have in the Nordics, after that I got drafted and did alternative service, after that my brother had long since moved into my room, so moving back home wasn’t really on the table – at least not as I saw it.

I hadn’t heard of the guy, so I searched him up… funny how these guys always look like Bond villains

So you’re suggesting just outright banning social media?

It is apparently a movement, but it gets way too little attention: https://www.politico.eu/article/targeted-advertising-tech-privacy/

I dunno, they will still want people to stick around on their site, so they can see their ads.

Some of it can be accomplished by just setting universal demands for how social media works for all users:

• ban targeted advertising
• make it mandatory for companies to ensure algorithms don’t prioritize posts for making users angry, scared or depressed

Stuff like that. These kinds of regulations don’t involve ID checks, and could take care of a big chunk of the problem.

If you’re very interested, the Norwegian institute of transport economics has an article about it here: https://www.tiltak.no/b-endre-transportmiddelfordeling/b-2-tilrettelegging-kollektivtransport/b-2-6/

You web browser can probably translate it, or you can just check out the references at the bottom
