Er werd goed doorgevraagd door een aantal journalisten bij persco Wilders, waardoor duidelijk werd hoe vaag en vrijblijvend veel van zijn opmerkingen en dreigementen waren.

@gytisrepecka @aral ...most users don't want to be bothered by all this, they just want an easy user experience, that should also be the starting point

@aral ...why Switzerland, it's better to pick just another EU country I think if only for it's legal protection and framework (European Court, human rights etc), it would be nice if every country in the EU had it's own default Mastodon instance.

@jimcarroll yes I can !

The convergence of AI, big tech, corrupt governments of US and Saudi-Arabia is frightening.

You can think it's funny or not but the main thing is, a normal and sane president of the US wouldn't post this. Trump did.

@baldur I think we can distinguish between the technology neural nets/transformers and how these are applied by some BigTech companies. The technology itself is not ment to destroy industries, it has been around some time.

@cjd besides the fact that the Trump actions are not exactly same as the Holocaust, because people are not killed on an industrial scale after being deported, the process of being taken from the street , disappear and being deported somewhere else is like things happened during world war 2. Also good to remember that what became the Holocaust was in the beginning not that extreme and more like what Trump is doing.

"On the rooftop patio of the General Services Administration headquarters, an agency staffer recently discovered something strange: a rectangular device attached to a wire that snaked across the roof... a transceiver that communicates with Elon Musk’s vast and private Starlink satellite network."

Think about this, US treasury bonds are now trading at higher yields than Greek treasury bonds. In other words: the bond markets put greater faith in the Greek government’s ability to continue to finance its debt than in the US government’s ability to do so.

A telling quote, it's not panic selling...
"Markets Insight: Arguably the most unsettling aspect of Monday’s sell-off in Asia, analysts say, was the extent to which it was rational, rather than panic-stricken"

The US vice-president is deranged, can't think clearly if you see what he says about #greenland #usa

One thing that #signalgate confirms is that the Trump administration really hates Europe. i don't expect them to defend us within NATO. I can't imagine them intervening when Putin invades the baltics for example.
