I’ve been to France many times, and Paris a couple of times, and I don’t have that experience at all. Only rude encounters I’ve had with French speakers were in Wallonie in Belgium 😂

Have you tried to use AI for documentation? It’s pretty shit.
EvilCartyen@feddit.dkto Europe@feddit.org•J.D. Vance lashes out at Denmark: 'Not a good ally'English9·4 months agoThey’re not even profitable currently, given the arctic conditions. Greenland has been begging for outside investment for a decade, but it’s just not viable.
Ironically, the Danish state might have wanted to invest, but are bound by a clause in out cooperation agreement (Selvstyreloven) which forbids Denmark from investing more in Greenland than they did when the agreement was signed in 2009. This clause was insisted on by the Greenlandic parliament, as they wanted to bind themselves to move more towards independence than cooperation with Denmark, but it’s been a real problem when it comes to developing Greenland.
Like, the trouble Denmark had to go to in order to build an more modern airport on Greenland…
If we come away from this with our relationship intact (Greenland & Denmark), the Selvstyrelov needs to be renegotiated to allow more Danish investment into Greenlandic infrastructure and business.
EvilCartyen@feddit.dkto Europe@feddit.org•The US will get Greenland, otherwise it is an "unfriendly act" from Denmark, says TrumpEnglish16·4 months agoIt’s too risky. He might agree to it.
Let’s suggest it’s Vermont and New Hampshire.
EvilCartyen@feddit.dkto Europe@feddit.org•The US will get Greenland, otherwise it is an "unfriendly act" from Denmark, says TrumpEnglish16·4 months agoI don’t. But I wouldn’t rule out that they simply decide to just take possession of Greenland without asking.
The US were our closest ally, so this Greenland-thing is baffling. It’s like someone saying they want free access to your house or else and they already have a key.
EvilCartyen@feddit.dkto Europe@feddit.org•The US will get Greenland, otherwise it is an "unfriendly act" from Denmark, says TrumpEnglish372·4 months agoI am sure we can come to a deal where the US extends the territorial defense of Greenland, they already have bases and troops there.
US companies are also very welcome to invest in mining operations, if they think it’s profitable.
This is about pounding your chest and looking strong, treating the world as a map painter strategy game.

EvilCartyen@feddit.dkto Europe@feddit.org•Leading German politicians compare Elon Musk to Vladimir Putin over AfD endorsementEnglish20·5 months agoIt’s an ancient tradition, reportedly Nero had a corps of young men hired applaud him and yell encouragement every time he spoke publicly.
Argued for years that Diaphragma would be an excellent name. Or Columna.
I don’t really think mastodon needs those 5% to produce content to entertain and advertise a userbase of 95% lurkers. For me it’s definitely a bonus that they’re not there - I don’t need influencer-shit in my feed.
If that kind of content creator and passive user goes to Bluesky that’s fine. If they went to mastodon we’d just see calls for an algorithm, which would be directly against what I want in the platform.
EvilCartyen@feddit.dkto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Why do People Choose BlueSky Over Mastodon?452·6 months agoProblem with algorithms showing popular content is that once you have them, you’ll have people trying to use them to make money. And by extension people trying to manipulate you for profit. Doesn’t have to be the platform itself doing it for it to be harmful.

So these positions run the largest operations. Linking that to power is probably somewhat misguided
I guess, but then again - how much of a budget you have does say something about how much muscle you have, right? In a very real sense money equals power projection.
EvilCartyen@feddit.dkto Europe@feddit.org•Southern European tourists flock to Denmark to escape the heatEnglish5·9 months agoI spent 2 weeks of my vacation in Aarhus (where I live) this year, and I did notice that you heard much more French & Spanish spoken around the city compared to recent years. Which is great :)
EvilCartyen@feddit.dkto Europe@feddit.de•[Meta] It seems that feddit.de communities are moving to feddit.org, is it going to be the plan for this one too?English2·11 months agoI suppose :) I just like feddit.org - as a name - better than lemm.ee - but that’s just my preference.
I suggest the mod of this community makes a decision and we do that.
EvilCartyen@feddit.dkto Europe@feddit.de•[Meta] It seems that feddit.de communities are moving to feddit.org, is it going to be the plan for this one too?English6·11 months agoYes, and like feddit.dk is Danish-speaking. These language-specific instances make sense, and ideally we’d have a different instance for international communities like a europe-community. But, you know, beggars can’t be choosers and so it seems like we need to make a suboptimal choice :)
EvilCartyen@feddit.dkto Europe@feddit.de•[Meta] It seems that feddit.de communities are moving to feddit.org, is it going to be the plan for this one too?English6·11 months agofeddit.eu seems to be a one-person abandoned instance. To me, feddit.org seems like a fine place.
There’s also !europe@jlai.lu - but it seems to be exclusively francophone.
EvilCartyen@feddit.dkto Europe@feddit.de•[Meta] It seems that feddit.de communities are moving to feddit.org, is it going to be the plan for this one too?English2·11 months ago…so… feddit.org? What’s the alternative?
That’s funny, especially since no one wants a new app on their phone. Right?
