Why did they change the name? Did somebody have the rights on the name Defender?

Why does this phone needs 27 buttons if I only ever should need number 9 4 times? #nordiccrown #gonordic #dfds

A picture of a phone with 27 buttons with a label telling me to only use it for emergency calls to 9999.

Reeds gedaan! Ingeleverd bij de Noorse ambassade in Oslo (die gek genoeg geen brievenbus heeft en maar beperkte openingstijden van 10:00-15:00...) @hanssp.bsky.social

Aftonbladet's interview with Greta Thunberg is now available in English - it raises many serious questions, not least about the Swedish govt. effectively abandoning its citizens to torture because it doesn't agree with their politics. A thundering disgrace.

There are currently around 20,000 objects being tracked in low-Earth orbit, including 12,000 working satellites – 8,500 of which are Starlinks

““They dragged little Greta [Thunberg] by her hair before our eyes, beat her, and forced her to kiss the Israeli flag. They did everything imaginable to her, as a warning to others,” the Turkish activist ErsinÇelik, a participant in the Sumud flotilla, told Anadolu news agency.”+

Fortell meg hvordan det kan skje at alle tog i Norge står stille uten at noe er galt med redundans? Ja det er nødvær, men *hele* landet?? www.aftenposten.no/okonomi/i/8q...

Full togstans i hele landet

Vy melder at alle tog i hele landet må stoppe på nærmeste stasjon på grunn av feil på flere kritiske systemer.

I love Vivaldi on the desktop. But my preferred mobile browser remains Opera because of the reformatting of text to the screens width at any zoom level. Please tell me that is possible or that it is a feature that will appear at some point! 😀

"Trafikanter som ikke overholder trafikkreglene kan ikke være et argument for å endre fartsgrensene langs en vei." - hm, er ikke ofte argumentet at fartsgrensen må opp fordi billister ikke respekterer den? 🤔

Oh dear. It seems Dr. Oz’s company sells Trump‘s big autism cure. What a crazy happenstance.

Simon Maechling & @simonmaechling
Follow
RFK Jr is set to announce Tylenol causes autism.
And then he'll push the "cure": leucovorin (folinic acid).
Who sells folinic acid? Dr. Oz's supplement company, iHerb.
The same Dr. Oz who is now the
Administrator of the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) in Trump's administration.
Think about that: A government health official tied to the very supplement company that benefits from RFK Jr's bogus
"cure."
This isn't public health.
It's corruption dressed up as wellness.

Jon Stewart on @thedailyshow.com is REALLY good tonight, especially the long conversation with @mariaressa.bsky.social, 2021 Nobel Peace Prize Laureate, who is blunt, brilliant and inspiring. Everyone should watch it. youtu.be/Tsb1I7hqaJ4?...
