Biden's FCC has been killing it, really nice to see them crack down on data caps with this and the standardized billing info

Wtf is this victim-blaming, CNBC?

The incursion has likewise further slimmed the odds of a diplomatic resolution to the conflict. Russia has previously conditioned its willingness to join the talks table on its ability to retain four Ukrainian territories it illegally annexed since its invasion. Kyiv has repeatedly said it will not concede territory.

Moscow is now unlikely to fall in the “negotiation trap” following Ukraine’s attack on the Kursk region, according to former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev.

Moscow peace demands have always been the demilitarization and puppeting of the entirety of Ukraine. You're spreading misinformation by saying that Russia only wants the 5 oblasts they have officially annexed (why the fuck did they ignore Crimea). Russia wants all of Ukraine.

Claiming that Ukraine has pushed themselves farther from peace with Kursk is scientifically wrong and also sounds like victim-blaming.

The fact that random companies like Crowdstrike have kernel drivers in millions of computers they they ship remotely is a security risk in and of itself. We're lucky crowdstrike just shipped a bug that crashes computers, other companies could have shipped a lot worse.

Somebody could shoot Trump on 5th Avenue and nobody important would care.

It's almost as if police need to get a warrant to wiretap people, and can't just do illegal wiretaps on unencrypted data. I can see why the EU may want to consider implementing processes for cross-border wiretaps, though.

It takes 23 hours and 2000 km to drive from the southernmost point in sweden to Abisko in the north.

A full loop through Malmö-Kalmar-Stockholm-Luleå-Abisko-Östersund-Göteborg-Malmö takes over 2 days and over 4000 km.

Europe is not small.

He was chief of staff of the nazi armed forces for 1 month. He testified against the nazis at Nuremberg, and then he was third in command in NATO for 2 years, he was not "the chairman of NATO".

EU regulation continues to be the only thing making big tech's shitty products somewhat usable. First USB-C, now this.

I got banned from lemmy.ml for saying that Ukraine wasn't nazi. All of the moderators on worldnews@lemmy.ml are tankies.

Ominous headline, but the article's context implies that he's just talking more generally.

Like, we may be disappointed about the effectiveness of the 2023 counter offensive, but it's important to keep supporting Ukraine until they win.

This is important in order to send the message that military annexation doesn't work in 2020's Europe.

In the 2020's Levant on the other hand...

It's worse than that. Tesla is refusing to recognize the mechanics union at all. The Swedish mechanics union has many members at Tesla, and have asked to negotiate, and Tesla is flat out refusing to sign a deal to bring their working standards up to national standards. This would be illegal in the US under the NLRA.

Union collective agreements are so important in Sweden that they literally are our labor laws. Sweden does not have a minimum wage or overtime pay at all in the national law. Those are always regulated in the collective agreement. Tesla is refusing to accept any sort of minimum wage, overtime pay, etc for thair employees. They are trying to do business in Sweden without playing by basic labor rules, and they are being shunned by all of Sweden for it. They will end up like Toys R Us in 1995.

This is really bad. This is the EU taking a page out of the books of Russia, Iran, and the PRC by implementing website blocking and government-issued CAs. Europeans could be at real risk in the event of a democratic backslide.
