We have had conscription in Denmark since the 1800s, so it is far from new. The news being reported here, is that they have extended it to women, and made it a longer commitment (11 months I think, used to be 4-8 months).

    Totally agree with you that we all have problems. In Denmark, we voted to leave the EU long before Brexit; our government then narrowly pulled it back with a number of exceptions and a new referendum. Also, we had a rise in right wing politics and anti immigration sentiment very early on relative to other European countries.

    I also agree with you that first-past-the-post is a huge issue that the UK should tackle, and it's not talked about enough! Our electoral system in Denmark is also flawed, but I do think the representation system we have feels more democratic.

    Mit barn er enebarn, og jeg læste op om det inden beslutningen. Jeg fandt frem til at det kan have ligeså mange positive som negative effekter.

    For os har det været den rigtige beslutning ikke at få flere børn. Jeg ville ikke kunne give dem det følelsesmæssige eller økonomiske overskud som jeg synes er rimeligt. Det kan jeg med mit enebarn.

    Vores mitigering af hendes enebarn status er at vi prioriterer hendes relation til jævnaldrende fætter/ kusine, plus hendes venskaber. Vi gør en aktiv indsats for at hun ses med dem ofte, og at hun har andre relationer uden for vores kernefamilie generelt.

    I mean, I agree the comment is mostly ragebait or not serious. However, I wanted to mention that you may be underestimating how large a proportion of women's knickers have this bow. I usually cut them off, as they are just annoying, but honestly in my experience, the vast majority of knickers have this.

    I love a good, fresh baked Danish rye bread. Butter and a sharp cheese is all it really needs to make it perfect. Also a freshly baked roomali, wrapped around spicy chicken kebab with mint raita. Ooh, and a roti canai with that amazing Malay curry sauce they serve them with. Oh - and its close cousin the paratha, in almost any form. Maybe especially an aloo paratha.

    Yeah, I just remembered being surprised by the (small) size of Russia's GDP when I looked it up a while back.

    Re the Euro, yep, we do have an exception, although I don't think we're the only EU country without the Euro (Sweden off the top of my head, maybe Poland too?). I am not really on top of all the macroeconomic implications - I would guess that the Danish krone is probably tied to the Euro at some level, and much of our financial policy is probably tied to EU policy. Could be there are some financial policy options that Denmark has more control over, when opting out of the Euro, but nothing that I am particularly aware of.

    I think at a personal level, I would be fine with taking the Euro in Denmark. Easier for travel and online shopping without exchange costs. But that is an uninformed personal view :) I do not have a current detailed understanding of any other implications this would come with for the country - I am just not personally precious about our currency as some kind of national identity symbol.

    I think you are right that the Euro would be a core part of any potential UK re-entry negotiations with the EU though.

  • Graphene OS? (feddit.dk)
     

    Hej Feddit.dk

    Er der nogen her på der bruger Graphene OS på deres telefon?

    Jeg har Android, på en Pixel 8, og jeg overvejer at se om jeg kan finde ud af at skifte. Jeg er lidt i tvivl om hvad ulemper der vil være. Ikke helt klart hvor mange apps eller services jeg ville blive blokeret fra at bruge - specielt i dansk sammenhæng.

    For eks, kan man stadig anvende:

    • MitID?
    • MobilePay?
    • Google Pay? (Kan jeg nok godt leve uden)
    • Rejsekort/ DSB apps?
    • Kørekort/ sundhedskort?
    • Net Bank?

    Hvis nogen bruger det, vil jeg meget gerne høre om oplevelsen og hvilke fordele/ ulemper I har fundet ved det?
