⚓ After the disgraceful events at the White House yesterday, Haltbakk Bunkers, one of the largest marine fuel companies in #Norway 🇳🇴, appears to have announced that they have stopped refuelling American Navy vessels and are urging other European firms to do the same 😳
BREAKING NEWS 🚨
After yesterday's events in the White House, Haltbakk Bunkers, one of Norway's largest marine fuel companies, appears to have announced that it will no longer refuel American Navy vessels.
Haltbakk has called on other European companies to refuse service to American forces as well.

Random Nigerian fact for you:
During the civil war, Nigeria used starvation as a weapon of war. Over a million Biafrans died, mostly kids.
Eventually, the rest of the world came through with food donations. Norway, for instance, sent a dried cod product that they barely ate called stockfish.
That was 55 years ago. Now stockfish is an indispensable part of Nigerian cuisine. We spend tens of millions of dollars each year importing it from Norway.
I guess generosity pays.
Looking for some #positivity to end the week? I have recapped 46 notable #positive #environmental and #ClimateChange articles from past month including: repairable kettles, 90% of cars sales in #Norway #ElectricVehicles and the #Bee killing pesticide in the #UK has been banned.

Arctic Norway in January.
I'm sitting down by the log fire after two weeks of shooting in the far north. I have a folder with 1TB of RAW files to rummage through. Might take a while :)
This image was taken in Grovfjord, a real hidden gem that sits half way between Senja and Lofoten. Most people think of January as one of the dark winter months, but there is just enough light to bring the colours too :)
Bill Evans (trio) in Norway
RSD Black Friday release (also available at streaming services) of a 1970 concert by Evans, Eddie Gomez (bass) and Marty Newell (drums) in Kongsberg.
A great, well-recorded (not perfect, but VVG) set, played quite energetically. Evans had recently switched to Methodone, and was more animated than usual, and he's ably accompanied by Gomez and Newell.
Hei #allheimen
Sidan alle snakkar om kor snille og greie me er på Allheimen (Norske Fediverse) så tenkte eg me kunne vise det, ved å samla inn til TV-aksjonen 2024!
Eg har laga ei bøsse her: https://www.spleis.no/project/388873
Innsamlinga i år går til Barnekreftforeningen.
Det er sjølvsagt ikkje alle har økonomi til å gi så mykje, men alle bidrag er bedre enn ingenting :)

When Russia comes, it kills, demolishes, wipes out cities and destroys towns. The Kremlin calls it the “Russian world.”
The world that is made out of ruins. Houses where nobody can live, schools where no kids can study, airports with no planes and fields littered with deadly mines to kill and forest burned to the ground.
Russia tries to hide its crimes with propaganda, but the world has already seen how cruel Putin’s terrorist are. Torturing civilians, mass kidnapping of children, expanding cemeteries and mass graves of brutally murdered Ukrainians.
This what the Russian world really is and we have to stop it. Arm Ukraine now and Let Ukraine Strike Back.

The last couple of weeks lead me back to more remote trails up north in Sápmí. Brought a couple of friends and we had an amazing time, despite the weather not always being in our favor. Had to change plans a couple of times. Luckily we were not amongst those who had to be rescued by SAR from Sarek, which would have been our original goal.

Jumping on the #introduction bandwagon: Hi I'm Nick!
I'm an #infosec professional who started off in #pentesting and #appsec many years ago. Now I'm a CISO at a Norwegian #SaaS company looking at things more and more through a GRC lens.
I've spent several years in the USA and UK, and now live in #Norway just outside #oslo with my wife and two #cats. Sometimes I'm inspired to dabble in #photography. Other times I enjoy #bicycling, #hiking, #chess and #reading
Hoping to find less of a dumpster fire of negativity over here in the #fediverse :)

Some photos I took in #Norway yesterday ❤️
Feeling like I fell into a Mac / Windows screen page

Last moment trip to Norway, my brother and cousin wanted me to join them for a week to travel in nature. So, what shouldn't we miss out on?

Is that last hill kicking your butt?
Scandinavia’s got you covered.
The Trampe, which transports cyclists, ski-lift-style, up a 20-degree incline in Trondheim, #Norway.
A candidate for inclusion in the Mondo Elevator thread! 🛗🧵
I have just discovered that those odd waste/recycling bins that are all over the oldest bits of Bergen, Norway, link to an UNDERGROUND PNEUMATIC WASTE TRANSPORT SYSTEM. The waste collects for a bit and then WHOOSH... it's off to the recycling centre. All underground. No bin lorries (garbage trucks), fewer road vehicles, less noise... amazing. @davidho says that my (considerable) excitement about this is entirely unreasonable. I disagree.

Please take some time to watch this brilliant talk by Siv Midtun Hollup (https://www.linkedin.com/in/siv-midtun-hollup-b263611/) who so beautifully explains why teams absolutely do need juniors and newcomers: https://vimeo.com/923292845
Siv also shares a lot from her own experience on how to make it work best for both the newcomers and the experienced people in the team.
Siv's talk is especially timely given that the market for young and inexperienced workers right now is very challenging in #Norway.
Beautiful run this morning along the fjord in Sogndal in Norway. The great oceanographer Harald Sverdrup was born here in 1888, before going to Bergen, Scripps, then Oslo. Today we measure ocean currents in Sverdrups (one million cubic meters per second), but I can't find any tribute to him here 😥

Curious: The #DMA is a “text with EEA relevance”, so it applies in the European Economic Area, not just the EU. #Norway, #Iceland, and #Liechtenstein are in the EEA, but not the EU. But Apple’s docs on alternative marketplaces only talks about the EU and only lists EU countries as eligible. So can developers in Norway, Iceland and Liechtenstein create and use alternative app marketplaces?

Hello there!
My name is Simon. I'm a #501st member from #Norway. I own two costumes: #Stormtrooper and #BobaFett.
When I'm not #costuming for charity, I like to go to the #cinema or play #boardgames. My favorite is the social deduction game Blood on the Clocktower.
I sneak puns into loglines as my day job.
