Norway is listed at 3%, but that figure almost certainly excludes the very widespread reversible air-to-air heat pumps.
According to Statistics Norway, around 41% of all households (and 65% of detached houses) had a heat pump in 2022, and newer data puts it even higher (over 60 per 100 households).
Most of these units can also cool, so the technical capacity for air conditioning is way higher than the map suggests.
Whether we actually use the cooling function is another matter though… many of us still prefer to just open a window and pretend it’s not that hot 😄

Switching to Linux wherever it's realistic one of the easiest and most impactful things to do right now to seriously reduce telemetry, vendor lock-in, and passive data collection.

A transition to pull off smoothly looks something like this:

From: Windows 11 + Microsoft 365 + Chrome + various Google services
To: Linux (Ubuntu, Linux Mint, Fedora, Pop!_OS or similar) + LibreOffice/OnlyOffice + Thunderbird + Firefox

I asked Grok about the real-world effect, and the answer was clear: for typical daily use, this alone cuts 70–90 % of routine tracking with almost no noticeable loss in functionality.

Layer on uBlock Origin, DuckDuckGo (or Qwant), and self-hosted options like Nextcloud when it makes sense – and those small, deliberate choices really start to add up to meaningful privacy gains.

@MarioNawfal Many developers would welcome a transition to Linux and open-source technology.

I'm neutral on his takes, agree or disagree doesn't matter, but everyone should be allowed to voice their opinions as long as they stay within X's rules (no violence, real private doxxing, spam, etc.).
If it's just annoying, unpopular, or critical, scroll, mute, or block. Full bans should be a last resort, not the first reaction. When even the loudest dissenting voices disappear, it's hard to buy the "free speech absolutism" promise.

@WallStreetApes If you’re using protein powder, you’re probably already consuming way more insect traces than you’d ever get from wild blueberries—without even noticing! 😄 So maybe skip the saltwater and enjoy the berries as they are?

[Jan Nilsen @JanNilsen2]

Thanks for the tip about soaking blueberries in saltwater to remove larvae! Just a thought—eating the larvae isn’t harmful and might even add a tiny protein boost. Soaking in saltwater could affect the flavor or texture, so maybe it’s not worth the hassle if you’re okay with a few extra critters! 😊

Grok: Alaska was under Russian control from the late 18th century until 1867. Alaska was purchased by the United States from Russia in 1867 through the Alaska Purchase treaty for $7.2 million. It has been a U.S. state since 1959. While Russia once controlled Alaska during its colonial period, it has been under U.S. sovereignty for over 150 years.

Don’t forget the builders.
While the spotlight often falls on visionaries and marketers, it’s the engineers and architects behind the scenes who turn ideas into reality. In that spirit, I’d name David Schwartz as a strong candidate for the “Steve Jobs” of crypto. He’s not just a brilliant technologist – he’s also played a key role in shaping the infrastructure and philosophy of a major blockchain ecosystem. Quietly influential, deeply technical, and relentlessly innovative.

@elonmusk I hope your good and important work in exposing the "Deep State" will inspire other countries to do the same.

ChatGPT:

Better Markets Inc. describes itself as bipartisan, working to promote the public interest in financial markets independently of party politics. The organization aims to act as a watchdog for both Wall Street and regulatory authorities without being directly aligned with either the Democratic or Republican parties.

That said, there are some factors that may suggest ideological alignment with certain political views:
https://t.co/2n8vsIMG6E Regulation and Reform: Better Markets often supports stricter regulations of the financial industry, a stance traditionally associated with the Democratic Party. For example, they supported the implementation of the Dodd-Frank Act following the 2008 financial crisis, a reform championed by Democrats.
2.Advocacy and Lobbying: While Better Markets collaborates with representatives from both parties, they have often worked closely with Democratic politicians and regulators who advocate for stronger oversight of the financial sector.
3.Criticism of Wall Street: The organization has been critical of deregulation and practices favoring large banks and financial institutions, which can be seen as opposing policies often supported by the Republican Party.

In summary, Better Markets has no official political affiliation, but its focus on financial reform and strict regulations often aligns more closely with the priorities of Democratic policymakers. This alignment reflects policy objectives rather than a formal connection to any political party.
