In Sweden it’s stigmatized because of “jantelagen” (a set of written unwritten social rules, basically, don’t think you’re better than anyone else and don’t boast). For example I’ve got a high paying job as a software developer, so talking to my unioned electrician friend who makes significantly less about their $120 salary bumps is kind of awkward. If he found out how much I make I’m pretty sure there’s a chance he’d do talking to me for a while.

But I’d like to say I’m staying humble still. I was about to study to be an electrician when I got a message on LinkedIn which landed me my job as a developer.

I’m also not above admitting that we make too damn much compared to our peers who do jobs which actually contribute to society (teachers like my wife or electricians like my friend). But I’m gonna ride the wave, try to max my salary, and try to encourage our son to not discard jobs like electricians, carpentery, etc.

Very good sir, but that’s neither relevant or helpful to the poor colourblind fellow.

It definitely is not a joke - their inability and refusal to make themselves understood is a real problem.

The only solution is to boycott them all and dig out their countries and separate them from the rest of Europe (/s)

Woking with people from southern Europe (seen from Sweden), sadly a lot. Belgians, Luxemburgians, French (🤢), Swiss, and the list continues.

Sorted Food. Once they started with the Pass It On format they really declined. Now all their videos are pass it on sand Chef Reviews Gadets and no more actual cooking videos, especially not recipe videos.

Norway?

“Encrypted DMs”

isn’t that just a longer way of saying “PM”?

This is the way. There is a GParted distro that you can boot from a USB-drive that will allow you to move the partition and expand it to take up the free space Windows left.

You should first install GParted to familiarise yourself a little with how the GUI looks. It’s relatively simple, definitely simpler than parted, but it doesn’t hurt to have a look around before doing it live.

It’s also good to note that everything you do in GParted needs to be applied before it’s actually done. You “cannot” accidentally delete a whole partition without actually hitting an apply button.

In Swedish (maybe also Norweigan and Danish too?) we have a"mil" which is 10 km, I wish this was more wide spread because it’s fairly convenient.

It could even be called a mile! We already have ton/tonne which is just an absolute nightmare of a unit, so we might as well add more confusion to “mile”.

I use IntelliJ for web development (switched from a Java based team to web based) and I don’t really notice any problems. Even with VSC and VS running simultaneously.

I don’t remember how it was in my previous team as I’ve walled of those memories and experiences for mental health.

I’m not the one you’ve been arguing with and I’m also European 🤷‍♂️

You made a claim, you need to provide proof for it, not everyone else. That’s how burden of proof works.

>“it was all over the news!”

>can’t provide any proof

Burden of proof is on you, buddy.

I’ve found that Spotify goes “oh you listen exclusively to Scandinavian extreme metal? How about some American screamo OR the exact same stuff you’ve listened to already”, which is the polar opposite to what I want. YouTube music is just a huge mess for me.

Tidal however has reintroduced me to some great bands I had forgotten about and shown me some new ones which are Top Notch ™️
