Alright, I think I understood some of those words. Happy to see Sway being worked on. I did a clean install with openSUSEway last week and slowly but surely I’m starting to get it into the state I want from it. Hopefully this will be my final desktop environment.
We probably would not stand to gain much. Our ex-prime minister Solverg is advocating for it because we would have a seat at the table and influence the economy that affects us more. Some economists say it would be beneficial economically for similar reasons, in addition to making the Euro our currency so trading with other European countries would be more stable and predictable, since now you pay less or more depending on how they fluctuate. The Norwegian Crowns (NOK) is not doing so well the past 10 years and there are worries that it will not recover again etc. I like the NOK currency myself. Depending on what business you are in having the crown become worth less could be a good thing.
I dunno. We like being able to make our own decisions and self-govern. I’d be surprised if the majority voted in favor of joining the EU even now. As the article states, yeah it seems the common citizen want to distance themselves from the US now, but we live a pretty good life already and there are many unknowns regarding what joining the EU will mean for us in the long term. I don’t wanna join the EU just to spite the US, however tempting that is right now. Though I believe signaling the middle finger to the US government is important, – I will do it in other ways in the short term at least. I have started moving all personal products and services out of US companies and into the EU etc.
I just haven’t bothered reading up on what atomic systems are yet. I get the gist of it, just not enought to really understand how it affects my current workflow if I were to switch.
