Ah okay, I wasn’t aware of that. I hope you find a safe alternative!

Would something like this be relevant?

More info.

I found this article interesting because big tech seems to care so much about scanning, that they are pushing on this.

Unfortunately the article doesn’t really delve into the privacy precedents and implications it would set, and mostly voices the arguments of big tech.

If the US pulls out, NATO could continue existing with current members. I’d like to see a European Military Union (part of the EU) which in its turn is part of NATO, but NATO itself doesn’t need replacing. Let’s also hope the US will at some point return to democratic values and be a supporting member of international organisations again. I hope other countries (especially European) have learned that alliances have weaknesses, especially when you put all faith on one single country.

He has to represent the interests of all NATO states, not just the US’. He may not have to criticise US’ stance on things, but he neither has to embody them. I can’t remember Stoltenberg doing any of this, and being accused of not doing his job.

Also, Dutch media have been pushing a frame that Rutte is carved out for this job so hard, that when he finally became SG they kept defending the despicable things he has said. All those slimey words do not even seem to be effective, as Trump keeps threatening Greenland and abandoning NATO.

[T]elling the astronauts how much they deserved the honor of the president seeking their autographs.

This was what I was thinking when listening to the call. Everyone is celebrating the courage of these astronauts, but unsurprisingly Trump rather praises himself…

Ps. I like to believe that the silence near the end of the call wasn’t a technical issue.

The proper source and in its 5568 x 3712 glory.

Gorgeous! A similar style exists of Maastricht. I’ll check later if I can find it.

Okay, there are other maps that have a similar style, but I was thinking of this one made by Blaeu and his son^[1].

This interview (Dutch) with the investor should, in my opinion, scare people away from it. It’s just a bunch of none-answers and uncertainty

Q: Is that your plan with Office EU too? To sell it after a few years?

A: Tja, I am not sure about that. I can’t see that far into the future, I don’t know.

Q: So which apps don’t use Nextcloud?

A: Once we’re live, I’ll show you.

Q: Have you written any code around it yourselves?

A: A great deal has been written around it. (This is literally the whole answer to that question)

Q: Could you give an example of that? Will that be open source too?

Q: Well, look, you know what it is? I don’t really feel comfortable talking about this. You approached me. I’m saying: I’m not actually ready for this yet, because we’re sorting out a few things.

Let’s hope it’s an accident. I have an app that allows for voting by swiping on a comment/post. It used to be quite sensitive and I found out I had down/up voted unintentionally when swiping back a couple of times.

Ik heb nu nog een Mac met een kleine ssd. Ik heb Asahi wel geprobeerd, maar die moet ik met een Mac partitie draaien, waardoor ik geen comfortable ruimte heb. Ik hoop dat in de nabije toekomst linux stabieler te draaien is op arm machines. Als ik dan ook (eindelijk) werk heb, ben ik over :) (tenzij het mogelijk wordt om linux als enige os te draaien)

I’d rather support Environmental Party the Greens (MDG) who also support EU membership, but it is one of a few topics I can agree with Høyre (Norwegian People’s Party) on. Venstre (social liberals, confusingly named Left) and the Labour Party are generally also pro-EU.

According to this article voter support is 1) MDG, 2) Labour, 3) Venstre, 4) Høyre. This article is from last year, however. ‘Yes to EU’ is in minority again (51 against, 33 support).

I found this one as well: https://piefed.social/comment/10556273

My issue is with censoring nudity, especially considering the topic of this community. There is nothing inherently sexual with our naked bodies, I think censoring only strengthens the idea of that it is.

I agree that we need to respect the original people of Australia (and other places for that matter), and acknowledge the atrocities committed towards them and the ongoing harm that results from it^[1].

My belief is that an accompanying message, like they do (and are obliged to?) in Australia, to acknowledge the Aboriginals and Torres Straight Islanders, is more helpful than censoring parts of human beings.

Ah okay! Well, the question remains, but I guess I am not going to find the answer :) Thanks for clarifying!

Maybe they’re from The Australian Institute of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Studies (AIATSIS) and/or from TROVE, many pictures there are restricted or not digitally available.

Why the US-style censorship on historic content?

This has nothing to do with military spending. I agree with your notion.

This has to do with the response of European countries towards different conflicts. Most European countries preach to respect international law when it favours them, while at other times they look away (Ukraine), often not to step on Trumps toes (Venezuela, Palestinian territories, Iran). You’re not a defender of inter’l law when you’re not consequent in applying/defending it.

All these conflicts are initiated illegally, however Europe (generally) has only responded with disgust when Russia attacked Ukraine (and, if you think about it, way too late (remember Georgia, Crimea, Eastern Ukraine)).

Ik vind dit artikel spot-on. Het is al jaren gaande, maar met de escalerende acties van Trump des te duidelijker dat Europese landen debet hebben aan het ondermijnen van het internationaal recht. In plaats van toe te kijken en zeggen, tsja dat was het internationaal recht, zouden Europese landen het moeten verdedigen.
