The EU still wants to scan all your chats – and the rules could come into force by October 2025
Absolutely unacceptable and ridiculous.

‘Women Over 30 Would Have Uteruses Removed’ says Conservative Party of Japan Leader Naoki Hyakuta
What the fuck is even going on here, this doesn't even align with their own weird agenda? This just seems psychotic for it's own sake.

JD Vance says US could veto NATO if Europe tries to regulate Elon Musk’s platforms
I think it's clear that we can never rely on the US again in any respect. Absolute chaotic backwater sinkhole of an oligarch fascist state.
We're on our own.
Maybe it's good that we know that now.

Yup.
Sure, the long term productivity and quality takes a nosedive, but the shareholders don't care about that as long as the numbers for the next quarter look better.

Sweden's migration minister ‘shocked’ by teenage son’s far-right activism
The article mentions this briefly, but as some added context for those of you in other countries; This is particularly funny because this guy in particular drove a very hard line regarding the responsibility of family members for their delinquent relatives. As in, they should face legal reprecussions for crimes committed by their family, or just if they are affiliated with a gang or something like that.
Well, it turns out his kid is an active Nazi.

Sweden’s leader turns to the military for help as gang violence escalates
And the authoritarians keep moving up their positions.
The debate over here is fucking crazy, the post-fascist backed government is sneering at any proposed solution with any nuance or suggested preventative measures included. It's all fucking military intervention, insane deregulation of policing, surveillance, harsher punishments, regressive drug policy, and anti immigration populism.
Do we have an uptick in violence because of a very specific ongoing gang conflict, yes. But Jesus Christ, not anywhere near the level that would excuse anything close to this.

The quality of the product completely aside, I would suggest it is your moral duty to not do business with corporations where the CEO can publicly throw sieg heils without repercussions when there are other choices available.

Absolutely pathetic Tim. Pathetic.

Russia's Putin praises Elon Musk as an 'outstanding person' and 'talented businessman'
Actual traitor Elon Musk.
And not just to something as banal as his country; to democracy, liberalism, international order and the value of human life.

Trump threatens EU with 35% tariff if investment pledge falls through
Unless there is some truly apocalyptic behind the scenes geopolitics realignment on the table here, we must cut them off. Call their bluff. Europe must have the courage to say that enough is enough. Yeah, short term we might have some price turmoil (again), but we can't live like this.

Truly shocking that the all-in pivot to GAAS would end up spectacularly failing, surely no one saw this coming.
At least Jim Ryan is gone now.

The world should learn from Poland's tragedy: restoring democracy is even harder than creating it | Timothy Garton Ash
I think Poland is tracking a couple of years ahead of those of us further west, so it's useful for us to see how you resolve the damage the right wing populists have caused. I think many of us will face the same problem in the future.
Good luck guys.

Goodbye Youtube and thanks for all the fish
Reply in thread
Personally, I was fine with paying for "Premium Lite", which was reasonably priced, removed ads, and gave channels you watched some revenue.
But youtube removed this subscription tier a few weeks ago, leaving only the twice as expensive "Premium". Since I, and I assume most others who subscribed to "Premium Lite", has no use for the other stuff included in the more expensive tier the cost is no longer justified for me. Back to finding increasingly exotic ways of getting around their ads I guess.
