@GossiTheDog The US has far too much soft power and corporate investment in Europe, (and especially in UK most of all) for Europe to ever seriously consider standing on its own two feet, that is, even if pursuing a path of self determination would be the best strategy, EU leaders (like UK) simply cannot do it, mission impossible.

"Vassal State by Angus Hanton" explains the mind-blowing extent of how the US runs and essentially owns the UK. There's probably a similar book for Germany.

@GossiTheDog "For new users" - that part seems a bit odd. If they are willing to break end to end #encryption for new users, why would existing users trust them not to break it for them also...

@gamingonlinux 2% is a 100% increase on what it was a few years ago 🎉

@Dhmspector Ahhh yes, the iconic Pashtun tribal dress for women, not really seen outside Pashtun culture, which Westerners are told represents Islam, even though most Muslims consider that extreme.

@aral A vote for Trump is a vote for Thiel of Palantir as a shadow president of USA. Thiel / Palantir created #lavender AI which is currently deployed in Israel and used by IDF for the task of targeting and executing Palestinians and Lebanese, without human oversight. Peter Thiel is singlehandedly the main culprit why the death and infrastructure toll is so high.

@bagder curl should really be adopted by GNU core utils.

@verge Finally!!!!!!!

@Gargron The demand comes exclusively from those who want Mastodon to be Twitter.

Mastodon is not Twitter.

@Gargron In fairness, this is what the internet used to be like before big tech and advertisers took it over. Think also: RSS, XMPP, IRC, etc.
