It looks like there is a fan blowing the hot air away

That’s the neat thing about this: Since establishing the command structure requires everyone to agree, the bad actors can simply block everything until they get what they want. There’s no way that they would agree to such a command structure which avoids them

The USA used up a lot of their stockpiles in Iran. Bundeswehr wants to buy 400 missles which is more than the US produces in a year and the US did fire over 850 tomahawks on Iran:

Which means: There is no way that Trump will sell a yearly production run of Tomahawks to Germany before the US stockpiles are refilled. And that means that the Bundeswehr will not be getting their tomahawks in the next 5 years.

I like the idea, but if you think about it, it would take a major EU reform to work. In the current state with every country having its own veto an European army will not be able to be deployed anywhere. We had this one with Hungary being a Russian puppet under Orban. We didn’t manage to provide normal aid to Ukraine due to Orbans veto. An European army would face the same problems.

They are kind of public:

Tesla sold 20,237 Cybertrucks in 2025, down from 38,965 the previous year, according to figures from Kelley Blue Book’s annual electric vehicle (EV) sales reports.

That’s actually quite a strange location to find a ukrainian naval drone. Lefkada is on the west coast of Greece:

So they’re distributing their data center into various neighborhoods and therefore are leeching on power lines and everything else there. Kind of clever but also sneaky an slimy.

It depends on your jurisdiction, but it is a GDPR nightmare. There is a difference between exchanging public posts between instances and building political profiles with AI for individual users without their consent.

And that is also one of the reasons why it is so infuriating that modern linux based Android systems or Windows wants to steer you away from the filesystem.

We have to be honest: Many people shouldn’t own dogs. Dogs shouldn’t be in small apartments while their owner is away at work. Dogs are social animals, they need company. Dogs shouldn’t be in an crowded environment where they have to pee in doorways, on cars or benches. Dogs need an environment where they can run freely and not only on a leash. If you can’t provide your dog with that, you shouldn’t buy one.

And if you buy one, you need to train it to ensure that the dog is not a danger to other people and will not annoy them by barking at everything everytime.

(the same applies to cats…)

That’s actually quite wild coming from someone on dbzero0, which is doing the same on an instance level as instance policy

It totally makes sense. If we want to steer our society to reduce CO2 emissions, we can’t afford companies doing multibillion dollar ad campaigns for CO2 emissions.

That’s really a western prospective where you are used to a reliable power grid. If you’re living in the global south, blackouts are more common (depending on your country, of course). And if you can’t rely on your power system to provide you power at all times, you have already adapted. And that also means that you can use solar without much hassle

The issue is that there are apps promising you an calorie count via photo.

I would be so pissed if those football billionaires would destroy my internet everytime there is a game going on. And there is a game going on the whole weekend

The worst about this: It is not a response. The CDU government was planning this way before the iran war and is still doing this despite the oil price hike and the new geopolitical situation.

That behaviour shouldn’t be possible in a browser that has its users interests in mind. The browser could limit the extentions websites could monitor for to a sensible amount. Or disable that feature at all. Or block fingerprinting by default by providing false data. But if you have the worlds biggest spy company building your browser, you will get a browser that spies

They are reporting “family daily active users” and I assume that this “family” means all of their apps. They are reporting 3.56 billion DAU, but Whatsapp alone has 3.3 billion users according to some sources. So we really do not know how Facebook or Instagram are doing from those numbers - and it does make sense that user numbers are dropping when Russia is restricting access to WhatsApp & Co and Iran is switching off its internet.

Account bans? Which accounts will be banned?

Ask the World Economic Forum or the Stockholm Environment Institute:

(and if you are honest, it totally makes sense that rich people produce an overproportional amount of CO2. They have the money. They are flying. They are consuming more. They have bigger houses and all those fancy Saunas, Whirlpools and second homes. Why are you questioning that?)
