Wonder how many lives this guy saved before his was taken? And now his name will be dragged through the dirt by ghouls trying to justify the existence of their white supremacist cult.

I haven’t watched it for exactly the same reason. Going to check back on the feedback later!

Tops Danish charts where? On the Apple App Store and Google Play Store? Even the app to boycott US products is trending on a US product…

Is this the modern equivalent of the burning bush? Is someone trying to send us a message?

I’m pretty sure this admin’s modus operandi is to replace every crisis with a bigger crisis so you forget the one before.

Eurgh, poor guy, but if you turn off the “save my data” option you can’t expect it to save your data. Imagine the much more justifiable outrage if it did!

Sometimes you need a dictator to remind you why you don’t want or need a dictator.

Medium to long term this could be one of the best things to happen to Europe. Finally woken up, hopefully.

Huang could fix the negativity in an instant by showing us how it’s all going to turn into a viable business model. But with OpenAI scrabbling round the dirt with ads and vague concepts like “we will take a share in ideas we help invent” it looks like no-one actually can.

Great deep dive. And to sound like a broken record, the sooner the EU starts incentivising open source development the better the world will be for them and everyone else. Gnome, LibreOffice, GIMP, all need a polish and some partner support.

This is like a version of “if they’re rude to the waiter then they’re not a nice person”. Any politician that ostracises any group will be willing to turn on you when you become a convenient target.

Surely not? Trump said the US is rolling in money because of all the massive tariff revenue, which is why the country can afford an extra $500bn on the department of war.

I once got retweeted by Lady Gaga. My phone went into meltdown with meaningless replies.

You can link both recent invasions to the Nobel Prize. Venezuela because someone from there won it, Northern Europe because they didn’t give it to him. Until today’s message to Norway I wouldn’t have thought even he was that shallow, but now it seems surprisingly likely.

Europe should be finding ways to support open source. A better Linux desktop environment, improved LibreOffice and more partner integrations would be beneficial for them and the world.

BREAKING In a new letter, Trump Tells NATO Allies He No Longer Needs to Think “Purely of Peace” After Nobel Snub, Demands Total Control of Greenland Trump also said, falsely, that there are no written documents formalizing Denmark’s control over Greenland. Full Story: bit.ly/4pHHNGb

That note from Trump sounds like it was written by a 6 year old.

Based on this chart “by a long shot” is doing heavy lifting. He seems to have the second lowest approval rating for any president on here at this point in the term.

The people who said we need to have assault rifles to protect against a despotic government turned out to be the people who wanted a despotic government.

It’s weird the way the planet has switched and the US and Canada are desperately trying to sell agricultural products in exchange for China’s high tech and manufacturing.

These are going to be all the useful idiots who put a polished sheen on empty dog whistle populism. All for their own shot at power. It’s very dangerous.

Climate/energy presupposes a government that thinks longer than the next election cycle anyway.

(Personally I think a big investment in open source would be a good route that would benefit everyone on OS and office).

Europe really needs to invest urgently in tech. The lack of a prominent local cloud provider, operating system, office suite, productivity suite, social network, chip maker, etc. is really going to bite us on the ass.

Those moves in the long term would be good for Europe regardless.

Aren’t the products they’re developing meant to improve our lives and make us more productive? If they have to work 996 it’s clearly not working.

Did Keir just find his backbone? Finally said something actually true and meaningful.

Amazing how the party that says Americans need assault rifles in case the gvt becomes authoritarian also seems to be the party that supports the gvt becoming authoritarian.

Had the horrible realisation that I have started warming to Keir Starmer solely on the basis that he’s not Donald Trump. And maybe partially because the US right’s ridiculous disinformation campaign against the UK/EU.

Whether it’s called NATO or not, Europe needs a new Europe-only security framework for the future, for sure.

Chaos in Dem states is a goal. If he can rile up states with masked thugs beating people up - and then paint anyone who disagrees as the left’s “anti law and order” hysteria - then that works for his base. Same thing has been done so many times before.
