  1. @assignedmale.bsky.social

    Yes, but when #EricTheRed was telling the #Norwegians and the #Icelandic people about #Greenland, he was in some ways partially right. The climate was warmer then and larger areas of land beside the sea where arable and suitable for livestock and some agriculture.

    #Britain was warmer too with some wine produced in #Devon and #Cornwall, (as it still is to a very very limited extent)

    Consequently, the climate got colder again, people started to starve and they were finally wiped out by the #Inuit. They did finally return though, but Iโ€™m not sure of the dates.

    Cโ€™mon, feel free to comment and correct some of my claims. That way we all get to know more, including me. ๐Ÿ˜Š

  2. We as #Norwegians have followed daddy #USA so much that our brains can't fathom a way forward that isn't "copying our way to success".

    No, we don't want a Norwegian #AWS, nor do we need one. We should be copying what we did with electrical companies decades ago and #socialize #cloud infrastructure through localized services that are interchangeable.

    But i think that we're so used to #NewPublicManagement, #BusinessOfComplexity and #Middlemen business that we can't see beyond our nose.

  3. In the end I am dawning my bowler cap, sticking a cigar in my mouth and saying "I have a plan"... (old ass #Norwegians will get it).

    #deadinternettheory is one thing, #artificalinteligence is another, and the #databrokerage problem - hoo boy.

    It's time we start thinking inside the box, by creating a storm inside of a bottle, a hermetically sealed environment for people who don't want to be influenced by outsiders.

    Until we meet again...

    Part 4/4

  4. @evelyn #Bokmรฅl is a think #language of most #Norwegians, but it is not so #Norwegian. It is an #ethnolect of the #Danish language, however Norwegians do not want to know this fact. But #Nynorsk is really Norwegian. Three languages origin from Old #Norse; they are #Icelandic, #Faroese and Nynorsk. I heard that the modern #Icelanders (and only they) can read #manuscripts written in #Norway fifteen #centuries ago, without learning Old Norse.

  5. About 1600 participants in the #Norwegians mobile #quiz #PrimeTime (likely including bots) thought #JamesEarlJones was the American actor who murdered #AbrahamLincoln. ๐Ÿ˜‚
    The other alternative, aside from the obvious โ€” #JohnWilkesBooth โ€” was #JohnRuby.
