I have to ask, what is it that makes the Heineken Danish? The beer originated in Amsterdam.

Og glædelig midsommer!

One could argue that brake lights are a warning light 🤔.

Well.. for now at least. Who’s to say that won’t be the next thing on their list. They do make a pretty penny on the play store as is, and could improve that if they banned side-loading. And let’s be honest, side-loading is probably a niche thing still.

I have to say that in Denmark at least, iMessage seems to thrive quite well. There are quite a lot using Facebook messenger, but SMS and iMessage is a close second. This is entirely from my point of view. Never met anyone using the examples you mention, unless they are communicating with foreigners on a daily basis.

Lots of ‘mights’ and ‘ifs’. No concrete evidence. Also they write that it might spread out across lots of manufacturers. And not only that, this is an article from when the iPhone 12 got released, which was the first to include a USB-C to lightning adding to the worry.

"We stopped including a charger in the box to help the environment"

Actually this means more boxes are being created in total and this is worse for the environment.

How so? That thought only works if you think they still manufacture the same amount of chargers and package them. Which would be pretty dumb given that they aren’t guaranteed a sell. Also, who doesn’t have a bunch of different chargers already?

‘Politik’ is the same in the Nordic countries (Denmark, Sweden and Norway) as well, so that would have to be split up as well. The same could be said about politics as Ireland, Great Britain, New Zealand, Australia and so on, have the same word for that.

If you create a community you should append the nation if it’s a common word. Otherwise it should default to worldwide.
