This is probably from a preschool, though, and a lot of the kids will spend more than an hour at a time outside, so those layers are necessary.

nah, it’s supposed to be classy, professional and playful – originally developed to make Facebook seem like less of an evil and soulless corporation

Yeah, it’s nice. Someone made it back when Facebook launched its “Alegria” style back in 2017. According to Wikipedia, this was the original Corporate Memphis style, and the company that developed “Alegria” were quite honest that their assignment was to do “image softening”. This struck me as a very appropriate response.

the wokes like it, so it is per definition bad

some times I feel like informing these people that woke people really enjoy breathing air and drinking water :l

You are right, in fact it’s still possible to study datafag, I stand corrected: https://uit.no/utdanning/program/795103/informatikk_datafag_-_bachelor

With regards to “sluttfag”, I couldn’t find anything real, but Google’s AI summary says “Et sluttfag er et fag på videregående skole som blir avsluttet med en standpunktkarakter det gjeldende skoleåret” - so it’s the final year of a subject that gives you a grade on your high-school diploma… according to a language model :l

I have never heard anyone call computer science “datafag”, it’s usually called “informatikk” (like “informatics” which you can also say in English), and “slutt” just means end or stop, I have never heard anyone use it to refer to graduating.

“Fag” does mean “subject” or “field of study”, though, so computer science is a “fag”, and it might be considered a “realfag” along with the natural sciences, I don’t know.

Edit: I got corrected below, “datafag” is real

yep, or “field of study”, so if you study in Norway, students who study the same might arrange a “fagfest” together, and a skilled worker is often known as a “fagarbeider”

Well, FDR was a man of snappy quotes, executive overreach, and of throwing a lot of things at the wall and seeing what sticks.

I think it’s most common to call it a “transactional” personality – and the way of thinking is often called “transactionalism”, although that’s kind of unfortunate since that’s also the name of an approach within philosophical pragmatism. I’ve heard “instrumentalism” as well, which is also unfortunate in that it shares the name of a sort of pragmatist philosophical approach.

The latter term has been used some in discussions about kindergarten policy here in Norway, to criticize perspectives that only consider kindergartens, and childhood, to exist for the sake of adulthood or adult society.

I’m Norwegian, not British, but we also have a constitutional monarchy. I like it for mostly cynical reasons. They take care of ribbon-cutting and other big ceremonies so the politicians can focus on policy, and they give us a “head of state” that’s statistically less likely to become a dictator than an elected president is.

And all the drama and bullshit is a continuous reminder of what a bad idea it would be to institute genuine monarchy.

if you liked The Wire, you should check out the other shows from David Simon and the rest of them. Especially Generation Kill and The Deuce.
