Europe and Canada’s trade ties are increasing thanks to CETA! 💙❤️ in c/buyeuropean@feddit.uk

Well, US-EU and US-Canada trade is not only replaced by EU-Canada trade, but by a number of other relationships as well. For exam

Trade in both the EU and Canada is up, despite trade with the US being down in each bloc.

Also, these things tend to snowball into bigger deals.

The EU is on the forefront of biotech for example. The "Pfizer" vaccine and the mRNA tech that originated all Western vaccines were researched and made in the EU, in the case of Pfizer, only the manufacturing was outsourced to the US. We also have the most successful civilian aircraft manufacturer of the world in Airbus after Boeing jumped off a cliff. The MIC is also caching steam, world's biggest munitions factory and an 1500% stock valuation increase for Rheinmetall.

There is a ton of other stuff as well.

Don't believe either US, Russian or Chinese news on the EU as all of them are actively running propaganda campaigns against it.

I think it has more to do with Trump alienating everyone and countries in the world are using this as a pressure lever.

Also, this should have happened years ago just based on Israel ratfucking Eurovision specifically, on top of them being a genocidal terrorist state.

You get ads targeted at you differently.

Well it certainly didn't make sense to run your military infra on US proprietary software.

That's the case with a lot of collectibles. LEGO is a great investment but you have to keep it somewhere

German politicians are actually pulling some Ws. Even vdL made some good moves last week.

Good to see, maybe we'll get somewhere.

Yeah I'd say it was convenient if there wasn't a major Trump scandal each week in the past ten years at least.

Delivery price is cheaper than the fuel, prices are same as the store.

It's actually cheaper here, and it is also cheaper and easier for both the store and me.

Hey, these photos were taken in Hungary today, aerial refueling of F/A-18E Super Hornets as seen from the ground.

And here are some extra courtesy of the same guy, from his friend who works as a refueling tech.

Hungary bans Irish rap group Kneecap from entering ahead of festival performance (apnews.com)
 

The POV presented in the article is one POV in Hungary, the country is divided on the issue but mostly does not care beyond a small minority.

People cite the band shouting "Up Hamas, up Hezbollah" on this concert as justification for the ban.

I know it's not the best source, but all the relevant news from outlets that are not outright Russian disinfo are only in Hungarian.

These are trusted, well read and researched articles in Hungarian if you want to check:

Leaders such as Trump and Orbán could only be effectively opposed, she said, by ditching a “legalistic, technical, technocratic approach” in favor of “something for the electorate to be excited about”.

Edit:
Internal headline on the page:
The 'strongman' PM who inspired Trump's playbook - but now finds his power crumbling

Headline from metadata and BBC's search is the one in the title.

Edit2: Changed headline to the apparently new one.

10 YEARS OF HATE - Documentary about Orbán's politics of hate - English subtitles (www.youtube.com)
 

Length: 1:39:20

Immigrants, populism, border fences, electoral autocracy.

If you are interested about how and why Hungary is as it is, this is a documentary just released by Partizán, the most viewed Hungarian news outlet independent from the Hungarian government.

The subtitles are not autogenerated but hand-made by the news outlet.

The outlet has a decidedly leftist slant even by European standards, but are considered mainstream in Hungary.

Has Github/Microsoft rolled back the master to main switch? (sopuli.xyz)

So creating a new repo on GitHub, you get a set of getting started steps. They changed the default branchname to "main" from "master" due to its connotations with slavery.

When I create a new repo now, the initial getting started steps recommend creating a branch named "master" as opposed to "main" as it was a while ago.

It's especially weird since the line git branch -M master is completely unnecessary, since git init still sets you up with a "master" branch.

Disclaimer: I have a bunch of private repos, and my default branchnames are pretty much all "master".

Is this a recent change?

Edit: Mystery solved, my default branchname is "master". Thanks bamboo@lemmy.blahaj.zone !

Orbán aide faces backlash for saying Hungary wouldn’t have fought a Russian invasion (apnews.com)
 

I mean, he's not wrong, but apparently saying the quiet part out loud became a faux pas in Hungary recently.

It's not as pithy as Orbán's "Rosatom will buy it for me" about RTL Hungary though.
