Onhan apteekeissa nytkin laaja valikoima huumaavia aineita, esim. opioideja. Siksi niissä on käsittääkseni myös melko kattavat turvajärjestelyt.

I don't know where this idea that all Finns are anti-communist comes from. Finland had one of the strongest communist movements in Western Europe during the cold war. At the height of their popularity about one in four Finns voted for communists in elections. Card carrying communists sat as ministers in multiple cabinets, up to the early 1980s. Like many young people of his generation, Linus Torvalds' father was a member of the Communist Party of Finland in the 1970s. And all this happened after Finland had fought against the Soviet Union in the 2nd world war.

Funkwhale is worth checking out. It's a music/audio streaming service, similar to Soundcloud for example.

That's just one BookWyrm instance, though. More can be found here:

I've been using the custom chart function at https://rateyourmusic.com/ recently. It allows me to drill down to highly specific combinations of genres, influences and descriptors, such as "instrumental noise rock influenced by krautrock" or "noisy avant-prog influenced by post-punk". Back in the day I discovered a lot of new music from obscure internet radio stations. Recommendation algorithms however have never worked for me, they usually just recommend stuff I already know.

I might add that Linus' father Nils Torvalds was a card carrying member of the Finnish Communist Party in the 1970s.

I'm sorry but that's just nonsense. Finland had one of the strongest communist movements in Western Europe during the cold war. Large swaths of Finns happily voted for communists in elections for decades.

Torvalds is Finnish by nationality, he just speaks Swedish as his mother tongue. That's not uncommon in Finland.
