Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Norway you done fucked up.
They’ve been fucking up for a while now, this is just another one to add on to pile.
Ahhhh after all you are as corrupt as your southern European cousins over here.
Welcome to our lives
publish the names of the people who benefit financially from dumping their shit in the fjord
Why? Not like anyone, besides Norwegians, will be able to remember the name.
Conservatives destroy everything.
Labour government.

You're using American verbiage, which is incorrect usage for this situation.
Conservatives traditionally conserve i.e. conserve traditions, nature, etc.
This is liberalism, in the classical laissez-faire sense, not the bastardized American usage of the word.
Fucking idiots.
Slartibartfast is not happy at all with these developments
Norway is no longer my favorite Nordic country. They just have the balls to suddenly stop being beautiful or something.
Is it Estonia time to shine?
In a parallel universe, yes.
Here's a very entertaining book for folks to read as entertainment. It will be especially entertaining if you live in Norway
There literally isn't anywhere in Norway that isn't
A: a fjord
B: a national park or
C: built on
Yeah it pollutes the fjord but Førdefjorden isn't one of the good ones.
The best solution is and always has been to turn Trondheim into a landfill, but that idea hasn't gained much traction.
Couldn't it be just pilled up and eventually used to back fill the mine shafts?
They don't want to pay for that.
And me building hope on the legend that Norway was a civilized land.
Norwegians are hillbillies with oil.
Piled up where exactly?
Anywhere near the mines?
It's not exactly a deserted wasteland - it's not that easy to find somewhere to dump 170m tons of mining waste without affecting some ecosystem or another.
The fjords are pretty and symbolically nice, but the fact is that as long as there's a demand for minerals, they have to be dug from somewhere, and ecosystems are going to be affected by it. Moving the problem somewhere else doesn't solve anything.
It reminds me of that time we needed rocks for road construction in Norway, and we had decided all the mountains in the region were too precious to be destroyed for that kind of purpose. So we ended up buying vast quantities stones from China rather than using locally sourced products. Which is great - that way they can fuck up their nature instead.
If we don't want mining we just have to stop consuming. Moving problems out of sight doesn't solve anything.
I really doubt that much rock can't find any other use except being dumped into the ocean.
We could well pet rocks at cost
That would be the fjord then.
But if we fill the fjord instead it's extra building land.
Then why not just use it to extend a coast line or build an island?
Island of the mining waste. Sounds lovely. Maybe if people dig around they kids can find a severed human hand.
turn Trondheim into a landfill
You mean it isn't one already?
😂 lol... Fuck Trondhjem!
I came here because something didn't add up. On the surface this is an example of corporate excess, but do we have a reason why this was allowed to go ahead that isn't just speculation?
So... Ragnarok for real life?
I'm not Norwegian and I'll probably come off as ignorant for asking this but is there anyway that I or anyone else can do stop to this from happening? I would like to feel that I made a difference instead of sitting on my ass behind a computer monitor.
Some things just sound like a horrible idea - because they are a horrible idea.
About time someone put those uppity fjords in their place.
If they do it enough it won't technically be a fjord anymore. Just a beach you would not want to go to.
