As I’ve previously elaborated on in a comment in reply to a similar statement - this has less to do with being anti-islam and more to do with being anti-religion. The French have had a long history with organized religion.

Participation in the EU election in Sweden was at a record low - just above 50%, which is amongst the worst in Europe. IMO that’s a serious warning flag.

Another comment where I provided details on this matter

You can have a look here (government site in Swedish) for crimes divided by category:

https://bra.se/statistik/statistik-om-brottstyper.html

Whilst the sum total of crimes has fallen, the amount of serious violent crime has significantly increased and in some categories to never-before seen levels in Swedish history (bombings for instance).

In these statistics I would highlight murders, organised crime, threats and attempts to influence society, threats and harassment, weapon crimes, sex crimes and vandalism.

I prefer lemmy but miss the niche communities. The Swedish national community for instance, roleplaying communities, niche game communities etc.

Yeah, I honestly give very few shits about the political opinions of the lemmy devs as long as it doesn’t taint the project itself -and if it did at some point in the future, forking an open-source project is stupidly easy.

I even donate a smidge of money to the development effort via librepay - man does need it to live after all.

Dessalines & Nutomic put a lot of effort into building and maintaining the lemmy codebase. I respect that.

Liberty means freedom, not only from government,s,but from authority in general. Corporations, religious organizations, criminal organizations, political organizations and other people.

This immediately reminded me of Adventures with Anxiety, a browser game about living with Anxiety.

It’s very well done, and simultaneously funny & serious.

Oooh yummy!

Yeah I quite enjoy vicky 3, my main issue with it is that there always seem every play through seems to have a bug pop up and break the immersion

Honestly, it sucks. I’ve been increasingly falling back on regular SMS, because a lot of people seem to prefer cutting me off to the slight effort of a different communication medium. I was thinking that everyone has a phone, but there’s a lot of resistance to using it in my age group.

Yeah he was much better a while back. Though that can be said for most of youtube. The algo messes up everything

Oh yeah bfme is a real gem

There are archaeological finds of buildings from more than 9000 years ago (oldest in the region).

There’s a church that was finished sometime during the 1200s and is preserved in its original form in the municipality, but technically it’s not within town limits.

The main church was also initially built around that time but was rebuilt in the late 1700s - nothing of the original remains.

The cellar of a royal farm still remains, which was built in 1552, though it’s more a ruin than a building.

A castle/royal manor was built in 1652, and although it has been renovated and expanded in the early 1700s, parts of the structure are still from the original.

So, I suppose it depends on what you’re looking for.

If it sounds too good to be true - it probably is.

Scandinavian countries are not “super socialist” - sure, we have robust social welfare systems, but these are funded through taxation on regulated market economies with private ownership. That is not socialism.

I know that there were some experiments with trying to transfer into a socialist system here in Sweden during the 70s (I think?), but those failed in a spectacular fashion and were rolled back. They are the reason that many famous “Swedish” brands such as IKEA aren’t actually based in Sweden.

Haven’t tried. I did use Mint on a second laptop a while back, and that was nice, but I wanted something with KDE Plasma this time

It suggested 200GiBs for root, which seemed a bit excessive but I didn’t argue

I’ll go have a look
