I wonder where the republicans that take the constitution so litterally are right now? If I understand right, there's a difference between full on MAGA-cultists and actual replublicans. It's clear the democrats are worth fuck-all at this point so I'm keen to see if there are republicans with integrety. Or you know, the democrats getting their shit together.

Trump getting elected after this term will result in JD Vance becoming president, I'm almost completely sure of that.

SP is hopefully dead after they rage quit the Government and have continued to go back on most issues they’ve been focusing on. Vedum is a fucking idiot and I think most people see right through him.

FRP on the other hand, they’re not that far right og AP and H. And I doubt Listhaug would actually do much more than impose some restrictions on social benefits, immigration and cur some meaningless taxes that only apply to rich people.(Like the horsepower tax on boats) But they’re both populists through and through.

So the EU takes no cut whatsoever on what Sweden makes on their exports? I doubt that. Some is obvious, but how much? What does the regular Swede stand to gain from it?

If I remember right there were talks of the EU imposing tariffs on Norwegian seafood due to a disagreement on who could fish where on our borders in the North Sea and Skagerrak. I didn’t hear more about if after reading a news story last year so I don’t know how it was resolved. But this is one thing I’ll have to look into before making a choice if I’m against or for a full membership.

What happens to our fossil fuel exports? Will we keep complete sovereignty or will there be a deal where Norway is forced to share? For example, look what sharing Norwegian produced hydroelectricity with Europe has done to the cost of electricity. Granted, the Norwegian government has made some serious overhead by selling green energy to the EU and buying cheaper energy back. But Norwegians have seen a ridiculous increase on electricity costs also, people don’t like that.

Another factor is Russia. We are territorial neighbors in the arctic and have a fairly brittle agreement about a very, very strategic island called Svalbard. Not to mention fishing territory in the north and arctic sea. We’re obviously a founding member of NATO, but will a EU membership create more tension with Putin?

We are facing issues that we have to have faith will be resolved in the best interest of all parties without us losing more than we bargained for.

All this being said, I’m not completely opposed to becoming a member. I’m just reserved.

My main concern about a EU membership is what happens to our national fund and out sovereign right to our natural resources. I’m in the unsure column as for now if this comes up to a vote.

Time is coming where keeping the status quo won’t be possible and I think more Norwegians are starting to realize this. Change, in some form or another, is coming.

Just ban the fucking shit is what I say.

China can make quality products but those aren’t sold on Temu.

Bought a pair of Rab Torque pants on my way to meet up with a buddy before a Roadtrip.

That’s around 5 years ago and those pants are still going strong after hours on the climbing wall, at crags, on the trail, an ice climbing trip, shoveling snow, on stroller walks etc. only real damage is a hole from snagging on a crampon that’s since been fixed.

I like these pants.

Only thing I’ve been missing while trying Librewolf for a bit is ironically enough, saved cookies on pages I sign into to keep me signed in.

Other than this it feels like a faster Firefox.

I’ve seen there’s ways to keep you singed in on Librewolf too, but I keep wonder If there’s actually a point in using it instead of Firefox if I’m saving (some) cookies anyways.

Thoughts?

No problem, fire away!

Probably, but I’m just exploring alternatives.

Looked i to that one too. Ended up just using Safari.

Not perfect, but at least it’s not a third party on top of Apple.

I’m coming to the conclusion that I should just try LibreWolf and see how I like that compared to Firefox.

Har du noe dypere grunnlag eller noe mer informasjon å komme med å jeg selv kan ta den avgjørelsen?

I’m looking into Firefox alternatives as I wanna see what’s available. Being Norwegian, Vivaldi seems like a good choice to replace Firefox on desktop and Safari on iOS. Tried it for a night and it works pretty good. I do however have reservations about it being based on Chromium.

How much power does Google actually have over Vivaldi? And would it actually matter for my quest for degoogling myself?

In case anyone’s wondering. I’m also looking into LibreWolf.

Edit: Rewrote the start as people got too hung up on Firefox.
