Huh, thats weird. I am from Norway, and I have always used domainname.shop, a Norwegian service. .party seems to be at around 7.49€ a year (bar the first year promotion)

It is not a super fancy website, and the company is pretty old, but I don't really need a lot from my DNS provider anyways.

This feels like a uniquely American advice. I have had pretty heated, but not damaging, discussions with people on the completely different side of the political spectrum here in Norway. I can't remember a single time I have cut someone out for having a different political opinion.

Maybe the loneliness problem is partly connected to the American political system at this point in time?

Half this country voted for and supports a vile lunatic president hell bent on destroying the U.S. to enrich his personal wealth and power. It's not surprising that over here we Democrats view Republicans as a cancer we want nothing to do with.

It wasn't always this way. In the past Republicans actually had some decency. That went out the window after they elected Trump twice.

I mean, yeah, sort of. But a lot of the design is still really bad. I am saying a lot, because I found one I like, Zorin. It is a properly pretty Linux distro. They are the first Linux distro that I feel actually have understood the value of spacing between icons and other places. Every single other Linux distro I have tried feels cluttered and messy. It is so simple, just a little more room for things, balance margins and padding just a little bit better. Gah. (And yes, I feel liquid glass on mac is a huge setback in terms of UI beauty)

It gets worse the more you think about it. When you are paid by how much attention you give, clickbait and ragebait thrives.

In addition, I think you have to be sort of selfish to become ultra-wealthy. At some point people who believe that they became rich not by their own merit would start to distribute some wealth around. While selfish and egotistical people would hoard all their wealth, compounding it into ultra-richness.

Haha, yeah, I am reading the book these days, and I clearly remember thinking that those effects seemed really exaggerated.

There is a _significant_ difference in the damage done in a manned aircraft and unmanned aircraft. To even imply that the same laws would apply is absurd.

Of course there's a difference, but if the incident causes a fire that then spreads, that is very bad in either case. It's more likely the law exists from the fire concern than out of concern for the pilots, and the law is just waiting for an update to catch up with a world that has more drones.

Norway has 5 million inhabitants, it sets the precedent for other countries to do something similar with fines scaled for their population. At that point it might start to hurt.

Maybe if you could tag the root comments the same way? So when you come from browsing #formula1 you see #formula1 tagged comments first? And when you start a new root comment it defaults to being tagged from where you came from? But you could also add #funny if it is a funny comment? That could be cool

Have you tried having an always on video meeting for your team? Our team was fairly similar, and for a time felt like we lost a lot during the lockdown. But an always on team-video meeting really saved us. It has its drawbacks, interruptions become a lot more disruptive and emoting is harder with a smaller face, but there are advantages that more than weigh up for this, instantly sharing the screen with the entire team is really useful, and not having to travel several floors to help people lowers the barrier for helping people in other parts of the organization. And with the always on video meeting people can even drop by to say hello. It also helps focus the team on one thing, which is often a good thing. People can still do their thing on the side, but working as a team on one focused task is a lot easier.
