For some reason my webcam is squished to a 16:9 format on Teams through Vivaldi for work. Other than that, both work and private use and gaming has been fairly flawless. Oh, except for Star Citizen that was a hassle to set up, but once the community guides were found, it was easily figured out.

Now every other owner follow this great example.

I know that, but that doesn’t stop the USians using them as being the same.

Exactly, and socialism and communism are two words meaning the same.

That’s an extreme USian way of viewing it. Not saying you’re wrong, 'cause I’ve observed the same. But @FauxLiving@lemmy.world worded reality really well in a comment just above.

Thank you. This is the way. Differentiations hard to see from the outside, apparently.

The US is capitalistic. Most of Europe is some variation of social democratic, with us up in the Nordics more socialist than further down on the continent.

Yes, capitalistic values increasingly and intrusively are corroding functioning societies towards a more US style dysfunction, but we are still far from as lost a case, so there is still hope.

And lobbyism has been regularly discussed in the last decade and will hopefully at least get stronger regulation sooner rather than later for several of us, so there is hope for that part at least.

Like… Denmark? Where it’s legal?

Of course, our socialist ruling party in Norway recently had several former ministers join various lobbies lately, so there’s that too. Not illegal, though.

When in the office, yes. But I use my desktop when working from home. The annoying part I have spent like two minutes trying to solve by installing Vivaldi, is Teams, 'cause now my picture is squashed for some reason on calls, while working perfectly in OBS and elsewhere.

This is why Svalbard is on Putin’s list of nexts if he is not stopped.

I’d argue that if a hamburger is not made in Hamburg, it should not be able to be named anything better than “sparkling patty disher”

Good only cucumber shaped meats can be called sausage!

The gods knows the horrors that would fall upon humanity if plant based foods could be called the same as plant shaped meats.

Seems to be modeled on the Scandinavian countries BankID that is a well working solution.
