Our Danish company Ørsted which produces wind power, has been in a huge legal dispute with the American administration for months over this. He wants oil, even if wind is cheaper:
- Comment on Danish Forces Are Mandated to Fire Back if U.S. Attacks Greenland 1 week ago:
They have to understand that they are more or less allowing Trump to set everything on fire. Every single one of US allies at this point hate him. He has alienated Canada, and all of Europe. He’s destabilizing NATO, and therefore the entire foundation of western democracy and defense. I doubt Australians, the Japanese, or any other established country is particularly fond of him either, or they won’t be, when he sets his sights on them.
Long-term this is a massive shot in the foot. He may be able to throw his weight around in a cage like a gorilla right now, but as allies slowly realize that the US can fundementally no longer be trusted, that cage is going to shrink. In the coming years we will likely see massive military escalation across all non-US western nations, and EU as a whole are already making moves to pull ressources out of the US.
Now that France actually is deployed in Greenland, annexation would mean instigating war with a nation with atomic weapons. Not to mention that the whole exercise is pointless - the US have always had the right to deploy in Greenland, they have always been able to establish a military presence. In fact, if he wants the golden dome there, there is an established procedure he has to follow, which historically hasn’t been a problem.
Denmark has done so much shit for the US through the years. We allowed them to hide nuclear missiles in the ice during project iceworm. They never cleaned up after themselves, and now Greenland has a nuclear hazard. We even forcibly removed a whole people, the entire city of Thule (Uummannaq), because the US wanted a huge fucking base right where they lived. Guess who paid for those reparations 40 years later to compensate the Inuits who had their entire livelihood and home destroyed? Denmark did.
To top it off, there literally is no threat there right now. Not from the Russians. Not from the Chinese. The only threat is Trump. Yes, the Russians are trying to sabotage infrastructure, and the Chinese are trying to make investments. But NATO has pretty much been able to handle that.

Yeah it’s honestly hard to understand for me and come to terms with. Most Americans I know don’t want any part in this either. At least some things do give me hope, Fox News interviewed our foreign minister (Also former prime minister), and… Well I never thought I’d say this about Fox News but… It was actually really sensible and a good interview?
I mean… Even the most Trump fanatical Republican must be experience a bit of an identity crisis by now, surely?

- Comment on Danish Forces Are Mandated to Fire Back if U.S. Attacks Greenland 1 week ago:
Danish citizen here. This is really weird. The US have been our allies for decades, but apparently here we are.
I am mostly worried about the people of Greenland in all of this. I’ve met many people from Greenland, and they’re great people.

- Comment on What a great idea 2 weeks ago:
Oh I wish those were still around here. As a kid, we had an actual mom and pop owned cornershop. I went there as a kid one time to buy my dad cigarettes, and back then people knew each other and they’d call my home line asking if I was allowed.
Shop closed because the gas station opened their own competing store, and a big brand supermarket moved in. These days I’d kill to be able to walk into a small store nearby and be able to grab locally grown produce and walk out of there.
- Comment on At this point, what should we do about the ICE raids? If an ICE agent breaks in without a warrant or holds you at gunpoint, what do you do? 2 weeks ago:
I’m from Denmark, and reading this thread is really scary. What the hell is going on over there?
- Comment on What a great idea 2 weeks ago:
I have started getting my groceries delivered. It is more expensive but worth the tradeoff to me. I’d rather cut down on my expensive habits, than spend half an hour dodging the public at rush hour, just to get it a bit cheaper.
- Comment on Microsoft Office has been renamed to “Microsoft 365 Copilot app” 3 weeks ago:
Used to be called OpenOffice back in the day. At least the name change made sense.
- Comment on Nearly all of Spotify has been scraped and is available via torrents 4 weeks ago:
I think it’s quite important from the perspective of media preservation. We basically have a way to preserve music from a time where it was mostly Human-Made.
- Comment on Star Citizen is on course to reach $1 billion in player funding in 2026, and we still might not get to play its singleplayer campaign next year 4 weeks ago:
I spent 40$ on it back in 2013. I looked forward to playing the single player campaign.
Then I found a girl. Went through university. Got a career. Had two kids. Got a divorce. And now I have time to play it again, but feel like I’ve mostly grown out of gaming.

My favorite one is “Just add multiplayer”.
Sure. I’ll just go right ahead and toggle it in the engine. Why didn’t I think of that?

Diablo4 has memory leak issues. As a software engineer myself, I just don’t see any excuse for a game this long in production to have memory leak problems.
There is no doubt that a lot of games are getting rushed without being properly tested.
