Just passing through.
I think everybody agrees that this shouldn’t be an issue.
The threat of war feels a little bit more real when you live just a few miles from the Ukrainian border in Poland then when you read about it in the news in a country outside of what Russia considers their sphere of interest.
Donald Tusk is not threatening with war here. He’s just informing of uncomfortable political realities.
You never know what kind of moronic ideas can find a political majority. Especially not when it comes to technology and surveillance.
But then the EU is also pushing towards interoperability. If Threads require ID checks and is 15+, but also federates, 13 year olds will just go elsewhere.
I guess the age limit could best be enforced by parents, who would be able to tell their kids they can’t use social media before they’re old enough. Sure there will still be kids around, but there will be fewer of them.
Yeah, fair enough. I read the post more favourably, as a “at least my alternative is still working well for me”, but then also being aware that every time Brave is mentioned someone jumps on and reminds everyone that the CEO is a jerk, so it saves us the time by addressing it right away.
Both interpretations are valid I guess. :)
I think there’s a lot of us who would ideally want to avoid both Microsoft and Google, and now that Bing is having problems it’s more relevant than ever. I don’t really see how the comment is braggy or patronising.
That said, I’m not comfortable using Brave either. I wish Mozilla or the Internet Archive would launch a search engine. Maybe both in cooperation. Then again, it would require Mozilla to bite the hand that feeds it.
I was paying for Kagi until recently, but they keep working on functionality I’m not interested in rather than lowering their prices. Other than that it was a fine experience, but too pricey, and the argument that that’s the cost of running a search engine doesn’t hold when they choose to develop all kinds of extra stuff.
I wish I liked SearXNG better, but the results are sadly not that great for me.
Totally vote for us. We’re a bunch of na… Uhm, we don’t talk about that either. But vote for us anyway.
One of the agents involved has since testified that they knew they were killing the wrong man.
Israel is withdrawing their diplomats from Norway. I guess that means random Norwegian civilians are slightly safer today than they were yesterday.
Good riddance and get fucked.
The plans originate from Italy. There’s probably more bad blood between regions in Italy than there is between any two EU member states.
A great thing about the banners is that it’s not immediately obvious to everyone that websites are trying to track their every step online. The banners are annoying, but at least it pushes the tech industry to play with open cards.
It has absolutely not, and it goes without saying (but is nevertheless worth repeating) that this is completely unacceptable. As long as you’re free to demonstrate without risking your safety and the outcomes of elections matter, leaders should be chosen at the ballot.
It’s an interesting question how bad the state of democracy needs to be before one is justified to stop playing by the rules. There is a breaking point somewhere, and politicians killing off scrutinizing journalists are clearly moving towards it in a dangerous way. But it is nevertheless clear that Slovakia remained far away from the breaking point of anything like this becoming necessary.
Which hinges, of course, on a free press. Not that it excuses the actions at all, but the democratic argument is sadly not entirely as straightforward as it should be in this case.
If its true that you know a person by their enemies, Greta Thunberg deserves a state of herself in every city.
She’s on Mastodon at @gretathunberg@mastodon.nu. Not the most active user, but not dormant either.
I remember checking out Lemmy in December 2022, it was barely even a proof of concept. Now it’s a whole ecosystem.
it’s incredible how far it has gotten in a short time. And while commercial platforms will only get worse with time, open source platforms will only get better. Growth might not always be a linear process, but I’m feeling optimistic. :)
Yeah, it’s not that DN is not reputable, it’s just that I couldn’t actually check that they made the same claims as Conservative European. When I checked SVT it said something different, which didn’t increase my confidence either.
I would assume they participate in police work as part of the training, but that’s just a guess. :)
The Swedish BBC, SVT, has a better write up on this that can be ran through whatever translation service your heart desires.
The biggest lie the “European Conservative” is pushing seems to be that they are police staff: The concerned individuals are police students, yet “European Conservative” doesn’t mention the word student even once. The students have since been expelled.
It seems at least some already associated with criminal networks when they applied for the police academy.
I’m the first to say that Swedish policing looks like amateur hour at times, but this is just disinformation. I suspect the “European Conservative” is neither European nor conservative.
