We all needed some cheering up. Thanks @countbinface.bsky.social for doing that podcast appearance.
I think 12.6% is a bigger number than 5%. Who's going to tell Andy?
What exactly are people holding on to? The declining exchange rate? The higher interest rates? GBP is simply fundamentally worse. The argument must be made. We don't need to go down with the ship.
Laying off 4000 employees costing MS $100k a year each is a move that makes up for the cost of acquiring Activision in around 172 years from now. That's before inflation. This never has been about affordability. MS' 12 billion in tax breaks from the Trump admin alone cover these costs for 30 years.
Brexit can't be the UK's biggest problem if it's not on the poll! 🫠
@eurosky.social Your pages claim Mu.social is hosted in Europe, but it's still making use of Amazon AWS. Any chance you could replace them? Likewise with your Eurosky.tech landing page, apparently making use of Google Workspace.
Great work everyone! Every time Brejoin is debated brings us closer to the real thing.
Operation UK is not doing great. Andy Burnham did a 180 on rejoining to pander to pro-brexit voters. Streeting on the other hand is trying to pander to progressives (and therefore brejoiners) while not being a progressive himself. Everything is backwards. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...
Ukraine should make sure the Russian May 9 parades are not feasible. Just imagine what that would do symbolically. The mighty Russia, a so-called military superpower unable to secure their own streets.
Do you like Diablo-like ARPG games? What about ancient Greece and its mythology? And things made in Europe with love? Our game, Titan Quest II is all those things, and we've got a sale on right now! store.steampowered.com/sale/titanqu...
eYou, the new European social media platform is actually great. Mobile apps only for now, but everything seems to be working very well. Has fact checks, agree/disagree ratings. Good atmosphere too. A great step towards digital independence. Join us!
Ask not what European social media can do for you. Ask what you can do for European social media. eYou just launched its public beta today. I suggest we all give it a shot. How about it? (It's iOS and Google Play stores for now). Drop your usernames, happy to give a follow. Mine is @NakamuraRTS
Also proud of my home town for destroying these clowns locally.
2/3 majority for Tisza is crucial in the Hungarian elections. This is what would allow constitutional fixes to the rule of law. Still need more than half the remaining votes to be counted, but great start so far.
Looks like Ecosia has crossed the €100 million threshold for climate action. Great search alternative. Haven't used Google in months.
Here's Orban's gang in 2008 when they were more fashionable. More on Reddit: www.reddit.com/r/hungary/co...
Even Epstein thinks Trump is evil. That's a whole new level really.
Republic is pursuing private prosecution of Andrew. I'm doing my part!
I know a lot of people experience Schadenfreude when BTC crashes, but if you flip the conversation around and look at the long term, it's the gov-issued currencies that trend towards worthlessness. Yeah this stuff is volatile. But over a long enough horizon, does it matter?
I don't want to see a single apologist on my timeline protecting those affiliated with Epstein and his like. They're rapists. They strangled children to death. Not even human.
