No joke, I can see UK and France offering nuclear retaliation response promise to Canada, outside of NATO. I think trump really is dumb enough to start real war with for example Canada. NATO is dead, rest of the west needs to make similar protection agreements without USA, besides NATO , for when shit really hits the fan (I think it will, it’s a matter of when, not if).

Speech from Trudeau gave me “we’re at war” vibes.

It’s incredible at which speed things are falling apart.

Is this real?

I don’t think it’s within other countries capabilities (Israel maybe, but why would they), nor in their intrest.

In some failed states it’s considerably easier to have certain people eliminated (and for sure has happened many many times).

Current USA is an internal affair with external effects. Other countries can’t do anything, that’s what happens when 1 country has the very biggest strongest military and security machine ever (way bigger than any competitor, no country get near). Even if they’ld want to, there is no way. And the current situation is unpredicatble and not stable, it would become even less predictable and less stable when certain people were to be assassinated.

If assassinations happen in the trump admin in the near future, I think it would more likely come from USA security services internally. Not sure if it’s for the better. Decent chance in that case of civil war type scenarios tbh.

It is incredibly frustrating to see for example Ursula Von der Leyen preaching “EU STRONG” stuff on fucking shitter. Really? This is your way of showing how strong the EU is and we shouldn’t or can’t rely on USA? By posting your I’m strong message on the precise platform the US chief nazification officer owns? FFS.

If all EU governments together decide to ditch shitter and move to mastodon instances, media follows. It’s a pretty cheap measure to implement, too.

Here’s to hoping trump tariff war makes those stupid American pick-up trucks a lot more expensive to buy in EU. I hope the douchebags that bought them before have to pay way higher prices for parts now.

choice for US jets was basically obligated for many countries because they had to choose a model that is capable of carrying US made nukes stored on territory. French and Brits make fine jets.

Most people would have taken the ride offer out of Kiev in 2022. That alone made him a hero. This new incident just adds even more to his hero status

Nothing would be decided,each leader would be playing a home match. This is not the way to do politics. Everyone loses.

what’s the reason the plugin is not in the main branch? Are there possible issues with the plugin branch? (data loss?) Is there a plan for the plugins option to become part of main branch in the future? (i don’t want to break running things if a bit of patience for features would do just fine)

imo today it’s a lot easier through the old channels to pull flac than mp3.

2 sides to that coin. You also only need presence/trade deal once and you’ve access to a very large market as a whole all at once. In the end, everyone loses with throttled trade for no other reason than “I don’t like them!!” Transatlantic trade has been very beneficial for both sides of the pond for many many decades…

Thing is there is a hand behind the back on both sides. Russia has nukes. So do France and UK, one shouldn’t forget… Tho USA dropping support does change the conventional war, the USA dropping support doesn’t fundamentally change this hand behind the back part.

default apps download original files, no transcode options.

Streamyfin claims download any file transcoded as long as your server can transcode it. Haven’t tested it myself.

Audiobookshelf is absolutely awesome for audiobooks. Tho it’s possible, Jellyfin isn’t really very audiobook friendly imo. Just run both.

It doesn’t start as a massive war but as small interventions about next to nothing. It suddenly became massive war, in hindsight, viewed from 15 years later.

The ones that would be capable off all-in are the ones mist trapped in the bubble of lies, the hardcore maga end of the world bunkerboys

This shit is moving so fast. And any pushback initiative to the insanity moves so slow. I hope there will be real elections again in a few years, but it feels like game-over tbh

A lot of older audio/radio dramas are on YouTube or some dedicated very old looking websites. It’s very country/language dependant content.

If you’re looking for stuff in your local language, a great source for high quality content is the local library. There’s also quite some to be found on soulseek.

They wasted hundreds of thousands in the meat grinder… The final outcome would have to be absolutely massive in favour of Russia for it to still be beneficial. Unlikely.
