    [Swedish] Mullvad CEO donates to Swedish party that believes in "remigration"

    Jump

  • Markus Allard initiated heavy debate in 2025 by claiming that Sweden is "the land for/belongs to the Swedes" and that the Örebro party favors a large scale remigration policy. He also criticized the Sweden Democrats for, according to him, allowing too many immigrants into the country under their watch as confidence and supply to the Kristersson cabinet.

    In 2026 ÖP party leader Markus Allard sparked controversy on several occasions. In a debate hosted by Studio3 with Liberal member of parliament Martin Melin, Allard asked: "why won't the Liberals push for deporting 100 000 social welfare-Somalis?" and in the same debate said that "Sweden belongs to the Swedes. We have to make sure that we take care of our own damn people and we must deport these damn parasites who sit and live at our expense."

    In a podcast segment about immigration and deportations Allard stated his opinion and said that "They will also be forced to leave, even if they are born in Sweden, because they have no natural connection to Sweden. They are not Swedish."

    It is good to consider this, but Örebropartiet are quite racist.

  • Users of Arch-based distros, why don't you use pure Arch?

    Jump

  • I haven't run Arch in a few months, but I used to use CachyOS and Artix.

    In the case of CachyOS, the repos have a few packages from the AUR pre-compiled, and linux-cachyos-hardened is a fantastic kernel flavour.

    Artix, meanwhile, lets me use runit instead of systemd.

    I also like the idea of Linux-libre, for which I would probably use Hyperbola (if not Guix). However, the only machine I own with a compatible WiFi chipset is a 32-bit MacBook from the 2000s, which I haven't seen since 2024.

    The preconfigured desktop and software is irrelevant to me. I have my own DE recipes and workflows that I can replicate across most Linux distros and BSDs.

  • Excellent timing! I just set up my aggregator today. It's mostly just news, though.

    When I used to have FreshRSS, I also included some personal blogs. However, I can't remember a single one of them, so I suppose I'll just add them as they come.
