Would not surprise me. Swedish parliament is oversaturated with small center/rightwing parties right now with their single issue BS. A consolidation on the right is more likely than ever before.

Gonna talk radio a bit here. So Norway attempted to move to DAB and shut down it's national FM transmitters in 2017, today it seems like it's considered a failure on all points. And it also seems that DAB isn't even a very good technology compared to FM (more expensive, shorter range, requires more power in receivers and possibly transmitters too) and there are better alternatives now such as DRM for digital radio transmission that are looking to be adopted en masse in the developing world. Quite a long article so I only quote parts of it http://digitalradioinsider.blogspot.com/2020/12/the-final-countdown-future-of-dab-radio.html quote:The Final Countdown -The Future of DAB Radio Is Over - [Update 2] More recently, Norway extends FM life for another 10 years, hopefully they do more than that: http://digitalradioinsider.blogspot.com/2021/10/norway-to-retain-fm-radio-for-another.html#more IMO DRM is where it's at if you want to digitalize radio in the nordics (I personally don't see a need for it, but if we must). We basically don't use the AM range here so it's ripe for a modernization without disrupting backwards compatibility. DRM on the old AM band 500-1600khz would have a lot of advantages, a massively increased range with less powerfull transmitters for instance, it would be very cheap to send on AM frequencies and with DRM you could get FM quality sound which is definitely good enough. DRM is being adopted in countries with massive populations so we'd be able to take advantage of the economy of scale there. And personally there's no need to lock oneself into the old AM range, you could extend such a band into the SW range too, using just a portion of that lower band would give one more channel space than I can see a need for, given how little space a DRM channel needs of the frequency spectrum.

The DAB stuff sounds exactly like how it went down in sweden a few years ago. It was mostly scrapped in the end and we're all FM for the forseeable future now. But as you say it was weird that it was pushed as hard as it was - I also assumed tech lobbying of some kind and everyone monorailing along like idiots for a while. Until the right people realized how expensive and useless it all was. Threadkiller Dog fucked around with this message at 00:15 on Nov 12, 2021 |

I guess you're referring to skolelinux. We ran that on the school library computers. Linux in general was the norm in norwegian universities long before that, and quite a bit after, but when the right took power that started going away, mature systems being ripped out and replaced with the Microsoft cloud services.

Sweden for some reason is now requiring you to fill certain criteria in order to get a free COVID test, reducing the overall number of tests by 30% overnight. This will surely go well.

Testing poses a conundrum in that more testing helps in stopping infection chains, but at the same time it ties up a lot of medical personnel that would be direly needed elsewhere to clear queues - the pandemic didn't end all the rest of health issues people have.

A Buttery Pastry posted:How much medical personnel can it really tie up? The ones collecting samples don't have to be medical personnel, or even studying healthcare, which leaves the ones checking samples in the labs? More than you might think, or rather more time than you might think. And there is a bit of an understaffing of qualified BMA (atleast in region Skåne).

While there's many things I did not like about Bergen living there for about 7-8 years, one thing I did appreciate, if you actually live in the city proper is how small it is and how convenient it is to just walk everywhere. Made easier by Bybanen depending on where you're going, but you can still get to basically any place in the city when you're there in no more than 40 minutes, which really is pretty great in order to be able to just do stuff and not have to worry too much about getting to and from places. Bergen's basically cheating big time in order to get that second city spot, in actuality the city proper isn't really that much bigger than Drammen I feel like (though more dense and with more establishments because of the satelite population). e: Also, I feel like Oslo doesn't really have that much of a self loathing does it? I feel that what's actually going on there is that most of the country just really doesn't like Oslo.

no, oslo has a very deep and very obvious chip on its shoulder about being a "real city". this is why it keeps building stupid buildings at ridiculous prices, tearing down historic neighborhoods etc. i did not think this way before moving eastwards - i thought the city just didn't have much character - but the eagerness of oslo to be something it's not is rivalled only by certain gulf state towns - it's a city with a ton of cultural neuroses

well they could build the same things but less ostentatiously, but that would not go well with the oslo drive to be accepted as a real city, since a real city has to have big expensive monuments i actually enjoy going to the opera and i quite like the opera house, but it's very clearly a part of this effort. it is also a personal pleasure to me that the incredibly boring but very modern facade of bjørvika now has this hulking aluminium titan looming over it. the big museums seem to be mostly art speculation schemes anyway, as illustrated most poignantly by the national museum's completely pathetic cooperation with the fredriksen sisters: the world of art is hosed up, you have to buy expensive tickets to see the public collections, and so i cheer up every time i see the brooding mass of the new munch museum spoiling this monument to bourgeois pretention
