Scroll_Swe··on Digital identity management in Norway is a success but also a disaster
>So I stopped using BankID over two years ago

BankID is made by our banks but okay, I get the phone part.

How do you function day to day without BankID?

It is so integrated now """for convenience""" but yea it really is crazy. Especially how it is tied to having a bank account but the login is for everything. Payments, insurance etc...

Also how it needs Google play so Huawei phones got banned.

>I don’t think that’s true.

It is.

Source, me in Sweden.

Scroll_Swe··on Can we have the day off?
I have 25 vacation days per year and so does everyone else in Sweden. And we all use them for real it is not like your PTOs. During summer, we make it work but it is a clear standby mode. The upside is we have to staff up too, with regulars and interns.

This is not a tech problem.

This is a you problem.

*Yes salary is way way way way lower. BUT where in the USA could I take a 10min bus (normal people take the bus here not bums) or walk 30-40min to work feeling totally safe even at night? Nevermind I spent 0 on my education in terms of tuition. And live in a city centre, walking to a grocery store with a 60k studio condo? With high speed 5g and fibre. And I hear in the US you have to worry about water or power cuts? Not here lmao.

I mean that simply you make society what you make it.

Over and out, o7, waiting for [flagged]

Scroll_Swe··on SF startup is testing robots in Airbnbs, and trashing them, lawsuit claims
I mean I have done this but I'm probably ADHD & Autistic
Scroll_Swe··on EU fines Temu €200M for allowing sale of illegal products
ah okay, I was more raging on the people buying fast fashion crap clothes, chargers and household items. All crap, all landfill quality.
Scroll_Swe··on EU fines Temu €200M for allowing sale of illegal products
Ok, well if it blows up the store is the importer and responsible.

In EU, if you buy Temu, you are the importer and you become responsible for CE marking breaches etc. 0 help for you.

*My bad this USED TO be the case but not anymore apparently

Scroll_Swe··on EU fines Temu €200M for allowing sale of illegal products
Good, keep it up. China is literally poisoning us.
Scroll_Swe··on EU fines Temu €200M for allowing sale of illegal products
Nope, Anker or store brand is NOT identical to Temu crap.

Like what?

The clothes are all 100% plastic polyester shit with extra chemicals. If you have proof of otherwise, show me.

Yes I make enough to buy good clothes. If I REALLY need cheap clothes H&M basics are always there.

Same with anything else, IT and tech parts I shop in Sweden.

What else?

Like, what is so needed now that you did not need before but you need to buy plastic China crap from Temu now?

Scroll_Swe··on Taking a walk may lead to more creativity than sitting, study finds (2014)
Yes, I am very lucky to be able to walk to work, it really helps with everything
Scroll_Swe··on Microsoft pulls plug on plans for 244-acre data center in Caledonia (2025)
Yup exactly :)

It is all about how you plan, build etc how good you are.

Scroll_Swe··on Microsoft open-sources “the earliest DOS source code discovered to date”
Why is every HN thread glazing communism now?

Are people that broken nowadays?

boo hoo I dont have the new iphone the moment it release.

Bish I was on PS1 until 2004.

Ask East Germans, Poland, Lithuania, Lativa, Estonia etc if communism or capitalism is better. I'll wait. :)

Scroll_Swe··on Microsoft open-sources “the earliest DOS source code discovered to date”
I find younger zoomers say this a lot and even to me in my 30s "oh you had it so easy!" because they think the knowledge today, we would have had back then. This is false.

Loser today, you would have been a loser back then too.

Scroll_Swe··on Microsoft pulls plug on plans for 244-acre data center in Caledonia (2025)
I kind of agree but I live in a city in Sweden.

Should I not be able to use youtube or order online because we don't have a DC right next door?

Scroll_Swe··on I believe there are entire companies right now under AI psychosis
Why even say anything so thin as "wealthy have it better than poor people"

No way!

Scroll_Swe··on We're testing new ad formats in Search and expanding our Direct Offers pilot
Perfect. Ublock origin will block it on my end and the rest of the sheep will help keep it free with ads.
Scroll_Swe··on NYT and vaping: How to lie by saying only true things (2022)
I'm not threatening anyone, I'm just a smol bean :3
Scroll_Swe··on Google changes its search box
I kind of like it for dumb one off questions I dont want to burn my real tokens on...
Scroll_Swe··on NYT and vaping: How to lie by saying only true things (2022)
That's fair!

But then I guess I (and my country) must love and let in the entire world = ̄ω ̄=

Btw wishing death on another member of the site is against ToS, I won't report you, but if you carry this conduct on in the future, someone else will.

Scroll_Swe··on NYT and vaping: How to lie by saying only true things (2022)
Let us be clear here, you wish for a real human to die.

This would be against the ToS of this site.

Very Stalin of you, so it does fit people like you!

You said "then I sincerely hope you have a long and painful disease leading to an end of life."

Scroll_Swe··on NYT and vaping: How to lie by saying only true things (2022)
Not a bot, just a new account. If you want the site to freeze account creation take that up with the mods.

The irony of wishing someone a painful death because you suspect them of "spreading division" is lost on you. My opinions come from research and personal experience, that's called having a perspective, not being a bot.

You're doing the classic Reddit move: when you can't argue the point, call it a troll account. I'm a real white Swedish person saddened by the death of my country on a real PC. Happy to verify, Discord, photo, whatever. But I suspect you're not actually interested in that.

Scroll_Swe··on I believe there are entire companies right now under AI psychosis
I am not, it seems you are misunderstanding.

That is correct but then the statement becomes so broad it is useless. Of course wealthy people have it easier but that is a useless statement.

Let me guess you want to abolish the capital system bla bla bla

Scroll_Swe··on I believe there are entire companies right now under AI psychosis
>Are you under the impression that it's a woman's thing to anthropomorphize and/or desire an emotional relationship with a chatbot?

No, but as always they are more vocal about it

Blanket statement, I have been flamed so much for them here.

Most people have that here in Sweden :)

We still have suicides.

You americans have done a 180 and keep advocating for idk what, socialism? Even though we are not.

Scroll_Swe··on I believe there are entire companies right now under AI psychosis
People who don't come from upper class and work in software are predisposed to mental illness?

Am I reading this wrong, or can you explain?

Scroll_Swe··on I believe there are entire companies right now under AI psychosis
Seeing this too. Customer support tickets are all AI now. The random bolded words, the em dashes, they way where if you KNOW what is actually happening, they are slightly off or just WAY off.

Scroll_Swe··on Cisco workforce reductions
Blanket statement - western europe is where people want to live

Wrong?

Ok good, don't come here then.

Scroll_Swe··on Cisco workforce reductions
I use my real life experience to form my opinions, yes.
Scroll_Swe··on Cisco workforce reductions
Yes, in a market economy layoffs still needs to happen.

What is your option? Companies keep people forever? In what economy does this work?

Please ask the Poles, Baltics and Eastern EU, when did their living standards increase? Was it joining EU or communist Soviet?
