  • wtf I love Norway now? Sweden is at like 2%.

    But Norway’s Linux spiked up to almost 30% in July 2024 as well. So I don’t really trust these sites. My guess is that it’s due to Tesla’s web browser or something? Tesla is the most popular electric car brand in Norway: 77k Model Y and 50k Model 3 are registered, and the only model with higher numbers is the Nissan Leaf with 81k, but that’ll be taken over very shortly (so far in 2025, there have been over 11k Model Y registrations, with the next runner-up being the Toyota BZ4X with 4,6k)

















  • I can’t think of many examples where a postal letter will be so time-critical that it will make a big difference if it’s delayed 1 day (or until Monday if delivery was on Thursday)?

    But I agree, it shouldn’t have to be like that. And how much paper-profit they make would probably be nothing compared to the benefits society gets (and thus benefits the country’s economy regardless).


  • You mean packages that are originally DHL, or what other companies? DHL is a bit special, because they have many different divisions.

    Small parcels from DHL (Deutsche Post) are technically like Varubrev/Quickbreve/whatever name you have there. DHL in that case is exactly like PostNord, USPS, Royal Mail, etc, where they’re simply Germany’s national mailing division. PostNord in that case is following UPU’s rules about “parcel post”, and in return PostNord gets what’s known as remuneration (compensation) for the transport within Denmark.

    But if PostNord DK is taking over DHL Freight or DHL Express deliveries…? That sounds really messed up in that case. Interesting how much they differ despite being in the same group.


  • So y’all have less services by default, and yet your side of the company is also losing the largest amounts of money? For helvede Mads 🫠 haha. Though on the bright side, I assume they’re still probably better than UPS or FedEx? If I have some home delivery from UPS/FedEx, I don’t even attempt to be at home… I already know that that their tracking will say “we tried to deliver you, but you weren’t home” despite them not even attempting to drive into my neighborhood.
