  • Finnish ones (some sayings here too):

    • “Ski into a spruce!” -> Get lost!
    • “So the forest answers as one calls into it” -> what comes around goes around
    • “If you reach for the spruce you’ll fall into the juniper” -> don’t bite more than you can chew
    • “to be like hit on the head with a piece of wood” -> to be baffled
    • “it went into the forest” -> something failed
    • “to have own cow in the ditch” -> to have their own hidden agenda behind a request or actions
    • “to throw the spoon into the corner” -> to die












  • I think Google is headed to breach the trust thermocline (warning: a twitter link). I think why these collapses seem sudden and so large in scale is because there’s so much inertia. Services / products that have become the standard can go well below the line that would be accepted otherwise and that’s why they don’t see big changes in user base while the enshittification process goes on… So, for them the point where a large portion of the user base is even willing to try alternatives is already way too far… and no small corrections is going to cut it. They try to find out what they did in the last months to cause this exodus but the reality is that they’ve been worse than competitors for years.
