Ericsson did it, so can’t be that much against EU law. Though maybe they can sneak around it by being huge and multinational?

Not every other country! He’s on good terms with Russia.

Actually, the peace price is decided by a committee in Norway.

TFW you pour gasoline over the fire but it just won’t go out.

ok, but what about the selling point for recruitment firms that “you don’t need to pay $190 a month to unlock Sales Navigator Advanced for each of your recruiters”? or is that perhaps a feature, sorting out the weeds who can’t afford the monthly fee?

Doesn’t sound like the purpose is to please Russia. Especially this part:

China is assessing the possibility of participating in peacekeeping forces in Ukraine, asking the EU whether its European partners support such an initiative.

Asking the EU if it would support them participating in a peacekeeping mission which Russia has been very critical of kinda seems more like they’re trying to improve relations with Europe in the wake of strong anti-US sentiments.

I think most downvotes are before my edit, so probably a good thing that it was buried. :-)

Will do, thanks!

I’m heavily pro-Ukraine, and not gonna pretend that the playing field is at all level. But to be fair Ukraine attacked gas pipelines and refineries (reportedly supporting Moscow with up to 50% of it’s oil) less than a week ago, can they still complain about power infrastructure being targeted?

I mean obviously they can complain about everything Russia does, but this specific point just seems a bit odd?

Ah, I didn’t catch that this deal to not hit energy infra was after Ukraine hit the refinery and oil pipelines.

An emergency doesn’t necessarily mean your house is on fire. Recently I read a text saying that while the situation is dire, cities on the Russo-Ukrainian frontline which are targets of bombings on a daily basis still go about their daily routines as normal. But they are in an emergency, and a pamphlet like this hidden away in a drawer somewhere could definitely be useful.

My experience with Matrix is that the federation itself is a deal breaker. I have a pretty beefy server and good connection which was getting ddosed by running Matrix and timing out on so many requests for avatars/profiles etc. Maybe I did something wrong, but the whole experience rendered me quite skeptical to the viability of it as a federated chat.

That said I’ve had nothing but good experiences using it with big servers set up by pros.

Right, and picking an instance is kinda same guidelines as any fediverse. Find something focused on your main interest of decent size and you’ll be able to get things from most other places too?

Just out of curiosity, as a person who doesn’t make any videos myself and don’t know anyone who does, is there any use to hosting my own peertube instance? Mostly curious because it seems quite popular to self-host so there might be some killer feature I’m overlooking.

Hungary is not a net contributor to the EU, you ain’t funding shit you’re being funded.

It’s not. IIRC that’s the final step to obligate us to join the Euro, and the only requirement we’re not fulfilling (willingly, despite majority wanting it but because we voted against it a long time ago).

Finally the Swedish crown is doing well. Feel it’s been in the shitter for ages now.

Might need a dub

idk, Trump doesn’t seem to give two shits about TSLA. The whole presidency doesn’t seem to have been a great deal for Musk at all (assuming he’s not eating out of the treasury or something). xAI doesn’t get AI endorsement and oil industry takes priority over Tesla at every turn.

“If war is what the US wants, be it a tariff war, a trade war or any other type of war, we’re ready to fight till the end,” China’s embassy said on X, reposting a line from a government statement on Tuesday.

Maybe something is lost in translation, but this sounds like they’re primarily talking about economic wars. My reading is that they’re just saying that they won’t accept US bullying, which is good.
