#Trump did promise that prices would go down from day 1 #tesla

We just released Mastodon 4.3.4, 4.2.17 and 4.1.23. They contain bug fixes as well as security fixes (medium severity) We recommend every instance administrator to update as soon as possible. If you are using our nightly releases, a container image with the fix has been published with the […]

Anyone else with #selfhosted #mail experiences issues with #spamhaus lists today?

[satellite doom post] Just had a meeting with my group of collaborators working on calculating collision timescales of satellites and junk in orbit. I keep convincing myself "oh I'm exaggerating it can't possibly be that dangerous." But uh. It's really bad, guys. I'm not going to say any […]

NATO can't protect Europe from Russia because the US has defected. The EU can't because UK is no longer a member. The UN can't because of Russia & US. We need a body with Europe + UK but not Russia + US, with existing admin infrastructure. What I'm saying is: arm the Eurovision Song Contest.

Gack, I hate it when you follow a link to a YouTube video, and you are recognise it and are sure you have watched it already, but you can't remember what the answer to the question in the title turned out to be. Anybody care to summarise for me? Why don't Americans use electric kettles? […]

Ow... RIP Frank Dingenen 😟

JD Vance states at CPAC that they would pick up the torch for a national abortion ban. We warned people that Trump-Vance would go for a nationwide abortion ban. Don’t blame me. I voted for the qualified black woman who supported your right to choose a safe, legal abortion and contraception […]

I almost thought that #Macron went to the United States to take the Statue of Liberty back home.

This apparently just happened. "The United States voted with Russia, North Korea, Belarus and 14 other Moscow-friendly countries Monday on a resolution condemning Russian aggression in Ukraine and calling for its occupied territory to be returned that passed overwhelmingly in the U.N. General […]

Tonight, on John Oliver's Last Week Tonight, #Mastodon and #PixelFed got a call out for not falling in line with Trump and as an alternative to Meta products. #USPol

Question for anyone who still thinks Musk is improving government efficiency and saving taxpayer dollars: How much would it cost to pay a bad mechanic to tear things out of your engine until it stops working? Now, how much would it cost to pay a good mechanic to repair that engine until it […]

"You're on a roll on LinkedIn". It's been weeks/months (I don't even remember) since I have done anything there... ¯\\_(ツ)_/¯ #linkedin

US internet users are taking a huge interest in the page on how Europe can no longer trust US clouds. 10k visitors/hour, mostly from the orange site.

I just did my civic duty and voted in the German federal #elections . The whole process - including waiting in line - took about 2 minutes. The horror stories from the USA that people in some voting districts have to wait in line for many hours only make sense if you accept that the goal is […]

RUSSIA! RUSSIA! RUSSIA! You may believe Trump is a Russian asset, you may not But the facts remain facts. And they're worse than you think. Soviet and Russian intelligence identified, groomed, and leveraged Trump as an asset ...starting all the way back in the 1980s. A thread. 🧵 Trump 1/

Looking at how #LLM are promoted by their fans, I've come to the conclusion: Pretty much everyone from a #STEM background - myself definitely included! - owes the #Humanities a huge apology. I mean, I get it. When I was a young student of physics, it was easy for me to sneer at philosophy […]

A Sad Moment in American History - Bernie Sanders https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rKBM2kS6B8o

Ok, European leaders. You had several warning calls. You were always pushing the snooze button, saying "Oh, it's not that late yet, and if Putin comes too close, America will come and help us up". Even though everyone in Eastern Europe was telling you over and […] [Original post on mastodon.scot]

This is the 48th president of The United States — Trump’s own Vice President — now calling Trump a liar in front of the entire world. Trump is losing support by the minute.

Deze post is geüpdate met een link naar de brief van het Europees Parlement over het wegvallen van de US commissie die dit "legaal" maakt op dit moment: https://berthub.eu/articles/posts/maar-is-het-legaal-om-persoonsgegevens-in-de-us-cloud-te-zetten/

The legality (not wisdom) of putting European private data on US clouds hinges on the availability of the US Privacy and Civil Liberties Oversight Board. Trump neutered this board, and the European parliament has taken notice & asked the European Commission what they think:

Ergens wel jammer dat er heeel weinig nieuws op dat vlak is aan Belgische kant. Of jullie boosten gewoon te weinig nieuws van hier, kan ook 😁 https://mastodon.nl/@nrc_nl/114025519438307512

A reminder: Vladimir Putin could end the war in Ukraine right now, just by ordering his soldiers to go home. No need for treaties or negotiations.

The "large scale social deception" contract Musk is conspiracizing about was: * first awarded under Trump * paid to Reuters' data division, not the newsroom * for researching *defenses* against deception * not revealed by "DOGE investigations" and was a public record, visible online for many years
