Yeah, I just get a bit peeved cuz I live up here, lol!

If I drive 250km to my grandparents I will not see much of buildings and people.

You can easily drive 100 miles in northern Sweden and see nothing but trees lol

No offense, but true European rural doesn’t exist.

Bro, come to northern Sweden and say that again lol

It’s a lot of mines, server halls, water power, wind farms, factories, refineries and a shitton of logging.

Not that any of the population sees a dime of that “GDP per capita”.

I would be very interested to a similar map with workers wages, it would be very illuminating

Tesla is taking out wanted ads to hire scabs.

Disgusting company, adapt to our model or go home.

The insane thing is Tesla taking out wanted ads to hire scabs, disgusting.

We are quite diverse and do not conform to the old guilds, we are the union of the industry union and the metal union since 2006.

Everything from miners, pastics, medical equipment, industrial chemistry, glassmakers, autobody, forgeworkers to locksmiths and metal shops.

We are music agnostic, need to keep our eyes on the ball and not descend into the madness that is metal genre debates.

China imports 70% of their chips and 90% of their most advanced chips from Taiwan, it’s called the silicon shield. China makes 16% of their chips domestically.

As long as China is dependent on Taiwan for chip manufacturing they cannot invade.

This is why China achieving chip self-reliance is such a scary prospect, the US will defend Taiwan militarily because they are also reliant on them for their chips.

Thank you! We will strangle them out!

Proud to be a member of the Swedish metalworkers union!

Kamratsson in Swedish.

Fun fact: In Sweden it is common use the phrase “Work comrade” (arbetskamrat) to refer to your colleagues.

If China can make their own advanced chips they have no reason to hold back against Taiwan.

WTF, I’m on my first watch of Voyager and saw that episode yesterday.

Or rather, the info pages.

I don’t understand how promoting FOSS in favor of proprietary software is bad for FOSS?

Ahh yes, Good Guy Greg. Just like the good old days, I’m loving the nostalgia of these vintage memes.
