Thanks for that. But I think this goes beyond upsetting people. :)
There are some former "wunderkind" open source "different kind of entrepreneur" guys out there and they've left a burning trail behind them in a similar way.
There's lots of former employees and open source contributors that have to deal with those consequences in terms of employment status, mental health and finances.
Happy to discuss the deets in a non-public thread though.

Don't call them TERFs if they don't even pretend to associate with feminism.

Yikes. That's a far cry from the "if your child uses a computer in English, our language will perish" propaganda from the 90's.

How's the Icelandic support on those things these days?

I've looked into it several times already and have come to the conclusion that the large scale data centre industry in Iceland is mainly intended as providers of shelf space for cryptocurrency ASICs.
There's practically no innovation going on beyond that, except in the traditional hosting space.
Beyond local edge nodes and caching, there will never be a hypescaling could provider offering a "Nordic-3" zone with Iceland as its physical locality.

I just can't trust an establishment that has the Trans Flag in the window, but it's upside-down.

where I'm from, free coffee is such a standard clause in any union contract that it has become de-facto law by now.
(And yes, almost everyone is in a union there, like it should be everywhere else.)

Bing Translate (which Facebook uses) may be slightly better at Icelandic but it's been years since they disabled the feature that lets you simply post something in multiple languages with your own translation.
Also, last time I went to the cinema in Iceland it was pretty much ruined by the 7th grade English and Icelandic level the subtitle translator had. (For others seeing this post, subtitles are generally mandatory and not an option in cinemas.)
